This drainage segment has sustained extensive timber harvest and road 

 building activities, mostly on USPS lands. Forestry activities also occur 

 on non-USFS ownerships; these operations were evaluated for their effects 

 on stream water quality. Problem areas are delineated in Table VI-B9 

 and located on Plate I. The Clark Fork River proper has sustained some 

 water quality degradation (low to moderate) from silvicultural activities 

 (DHES, 1976). The cumulative effects of continued harvesting on multiple 

 ownerships should be considered in future management decisions.
