Recommended Mitiuation Measures 



Comply with the Streamsidc Management Zone Law and Rules. 



Avoid skidding down draws and locate trails at least 25 feet out of draws or 



on natural breaks away from draws. 



Use existing trails on suitable grades and locations that meet BMP 



requirements. New additional trails would be located to meet minimum 



spacing requirements. Trails on steeper grades may require slash and/or grass 



seed following use, based on administrative review. 



Timber harvest would be designed to minimize overland flow, minimize soil 



erosion and displacement, and maintain water quality, through designated skid 



trails with 75 foot minimum spacing, adequate drainage on skid trails and 



proper log landing location and design. 



A majority of fine litter and slash should be left on site for nutrient cycling by 



in- woods processing or return skidding of slash. 



Existing roads would be inventoried and adequate drainage installed, to 



minimize water erosion and maintain water quality, by providing adequate 



surface drainage and properly installed and maintained stream crossings. 



A new culvert would be installed in section 36 in the headwaters of Fish 



Creek, to improve an unimproved stream crossing and reduce sediment input 



to the stream channel. 



Roads used for hauling where knapweed is present, should be sprayed to 



control weeds.
