Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Weyerhaeuser Company Limited (Vavenby Division) contracted Integrated Woods Services Ltd. to complete watershed assessments for the Lempriere and Manteau Creek watersheds. The Clearwater Forest District classified (October 19, 1999) the Lempriere Creek watershed as requiring a Watershed Assessment Procedure (WAP) with no channel assessment, if recommended by a hydrologist. The Clearwater Forest District classified (October 19, 1999) the Manteau Creek watershed as requiring only a road round table. Field assessments for channel conditions were completed for both Lempiere and Manteau Creeks, to provide an increased degree of certainty regarding stream channel conditions and channel sensitivities. Weyerhaeuser Company Limited (Vavenby Division) contributed Forest renewal British Columbia funding for this project. The objectives of the Lempriere and Manteau Creek watershed assessments are to: 1) Field assess the current stream channel conditions; 2) Assess the sensitivity of the stream channels to impacts from forestry activities; 3) Identify opportunities for upslope and in-stream watershed restoration activities; 4) Provide recommendations regarding future forestry development within the watershed. watershed assessment, erosion, sediment, ECA, peak flow |
