(T.71S.. R.83E-. S.4 and 9): Several 

 observed on this highly productive 

 on and steelheao trout stream on June 1 i • 

 e system draining the southernmost Snakey 

 jacent tributary lake have been heavily 

 t year. Froblems include clearcutting Lo 

 s fallen and yarded in product i/e salmon 

 s; deposition of slash and uooiy debris in 

 h uere fallen, bucked, and 1 e •" t in the 

 on of streambanks; the blockage of fish 

 d culvert; and the near-total obliteration 

 of a small coho rearing st r eam caused b / 

 ing throuqh this uetlands area. The 

 coho uas verified in an area which had

 hougn dounstream sedimentation had been

 the release maps requested, based on 

 appears that unit boundaries uere 

 S revieu, resultinq in additional logging 

 one- Again, this does not appear to be 

 1989-94 revieu materials.

. R.85E.. S. 2 and 3): A large diameter 

 out smashed culvert uas observed in the 

 102-60-10370 uhile over-fl/mg the area- It 



the ua shout occurred, but such incidents are 

 long-standing difference of opinion uith the 

 arding the numerous recurring problems ue 

 te culvert designs and installations and the

 in the road crossing at a stream draining 

 S.. R.83E.. S.36. There is a ^ery frequent 

 licts associated uith culvert designs and 

 e standard reason ue always receive for 

 to undersized culverts, the placement of 

 f bridges in salmon spauning habitat, and the 

 he correct timing criteria to fish sensitive 

 the necessity of minimizing costs at stream 

 diting road construction schedules. 



Cross-stream Yarding on Uncatalpged Fish Habitat s: The recent 

 field trip strongly reinforced my previously unfocused general 

 impression that logging through uncataloged fisheries habitats 

 on Forest Service lands is a disconcertingly common occurrence
