Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The objective of this project was to complete detailed terrain stability mapping at TSIL C for TFL 35, Fishtrap Creek watershed, and several small adjoining areas surrounding the TFL, about 52 673 ha, for Weyerhaeuser Canada I Ltd. The small areas include the headwaters of creeks that flow into the TFL, and the east-facing slopes bounded by TFL 35 to the west and south, Fishtrap Creek to the nbrth, and North Thompson River floodplain to the east, herein referred to as "Thompson West" (Figure 1.1). The study area lies west and southwest of Barriere, and about 1 p-25 km north of Kamloops. All but approximately 700 ha are operable forest; there are no alpine areas. Existing terrain mapping for the TFL, completed by J.M. Ryder and Associates, Terrain Analysis Inc. in 1997 as part of a terrestrial ecosystem mapping project with Larkspur Biological Consultants Ltd. for Weyerhaeuser Canada Ltd., was transformed into detailed terrain stability mapping at TSIL C concurrently with mapping of the additional areas. terrain stability, landslide, erosion, geomorphology, surficial geology |
