This report is a cumulative impact assessment of past, present and proposed land-use activities on the stream channels, riparian areas and fisheries resources in the Pennask Creek watershed. This Channel Condition and Prescription Assessment (CCPA) and Riparian Assessment and Prescription Procedure (RAPP) for the Pennask Creek watershed have been prepared for the Pennask Lake Fishing and Game Club. This report is a cumulative impact assessment of past, present and proposed land-use activities on the stream channels, riparian areas and fisheries resources in the Pennask Creek watershed. The intent is to document the effects of each land-use on the watershed, discuss the nature of the effects on the water, riparian and fisheries resources, assess the importance of the effects with respect to overall watershed condition, and discuss any potential restoration opportunities that will enhance or protect the valuable fisheries resource. Proposed forest development plans are reviewed to ensure that proposed forest development will not adversely impact water quality, channel conditions and riparian functions. channel, erosion, sediment, riparian |
