Landslide and Roadway Stability Watershed Analyses on Industrial Forestlands
Publication: Watershed Management and Operations Management 2000
Abstract
An evaluation and measurement of landslide activities are requirements of a Habitat Conservation Plan of the Pacific Lumber Company in Scotia California. These landslide studies are initially completed in individual watersheds. Data from the watershed analyses can then be applied in individual timber harvesting plans at a site-specific scale with some additional fieldwork. Methods applied for this work include a modification of guidelines described in the Slope Stability Guide for National Forests in the United States and the State of Washington Forest Practices Board's Watershed Analysis Methodology. These modifications provide a means of measuring and calculating soil shear strengths that can be included in a stochastic modeling of hillslope stability in each watershed.
