buffer so that mast of the LOD remaining in the portion 

 of the stream belou the bridge is in logjams- The 

 streambanks appear to have been severely destabilized. 

 The extent of stream side cutting in evidence along this 

 uatercourse appears to be much greater than indicated 

 on maps uhich are available. Ue need to determine if 

 this is another unit uhich u3s expandea. At this 

 juncture, the upper limits of anadromous fish habitat 

 need to be ascertained, particularly since the Forest 

 Service constructed a fish pass for pink and chum 

 salmon on this uatercourse. T his information needs tc 

 ba added to our Anadromous Uaters Catalog. Ue uere 

 also disturbed to find a neuly deposited pile of 

 overburden, removed uhen this bridge uas replaced, 

 stacked in close proximity to this stream at a steep 

 angle of repose. Some of this material is expected to 

 enter surface uaters. The Forest Service needs to 

 remove or redistribute this material and seed it prior 

 to the arrival of fall storms. 



8. According to the FEIS maps Printed by the Forest 

 Service. Unit 1*529-50 uas logged in the urong location. 

 From the uay it looks in the field, the original unit 

 location uas ignored because of lou-volume cedar. It 

 appears the entire unit uas relocated to an adjacent 

 area to take in higher volume timber. 



9. Near Ho 1 e-in-the-Ual 1 . bridge removal at the 20-2 Q road 

 crossing of stream nc. 105-41-10050 (at a point above 

 cataloged fish habitat) resulted in the deposition of 

 excess gravels in the stream channel. This material, 

 uhich should have been removed before the contractor 

 left the site, is nou acting as a French drain during 



1 ou uater levels, thereby blocking fish passage for 

 coho salmon uhich are present in this portion of the 

 stream. This situation needs to be corrected by the 

 Forest Service to comply uith Title 16 fish passage 

 requirements .

1. Unit 540-104 has not yet been laid-out, but several 



areas of concern uere noted regarding this unit uhich 

 need to be addressed. This unit borders tuo ponds at 

 the headuaters of Squau Creek. The stream is cataloged 

 (numbers 106-30-10820-2003-3003 and 4003) for Dolly 

 Varden to the ponds. Houever, the culvert through the 

 3000-540 road at the outlet of the easternmost of these 

 ponds uas improperly installed, has not been 

 maintained, and blocks fish passage. This problem 

 needs to be corrected uhen the road is upgraded for 

 logging this unit. Ue also noted considerable goose 

 sign in 1 ou areas along this road indicating Vancouver
