Abstract/Description or Keywords |
In October of 1997, Integrated Woods Services Ltd. was employed under contract by Ainsworth Lumber Company Ltd., Savona Division to complete an Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure (IWAP), Level 1 Analysis for the Durand Creek Watershed. Funding was provided through Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC) and by Ainsworth Lumber Company Ltd., Savona Division. The IWAP, Level 1 Analysis for the Durand Creek Watershed is the first phase in a multi-phase project. The primary objectives for undertaking an IWAP are to: 1) Assist forest managers in understanding the type and extent of current water-related problems existing within the watershed and to recognise possible hydrological implications of proposed forestry-related development in the watershed; 2) Assess the condition of the watershed using pre-determined hazard indices and develop recommendations which, if undertaken, will restore and/or rehabilitate past environmental damage and mitigate or prevent further damage.
