Summary of erosion-control rehabilitation work, unit 81-1: North Copper Creek and Maneze Prairie
Utley KW and Burns WD. 1982. Summary of erosion-control rehabilitation work, unit 81-1: North Copper Creek and Maneze Prairie
This report is one of a large group containing details of individual projects done as part of the major rehabilitation efforts in the Redwood Creek basin, Redwood National Park, California. This report begins with a description of the unit, the road network, the rehabilitation work, and land use history (with a logging history map). Following details of the erosion features and erosion history, it outlines the heavy equipment and labor intensive phases of the work, with evaluations. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of even minor improvements in the way roads are originally designed and installed: these changes can reduce later sedimentation of streams and prevent progression of erosion to untreatable stages. Background information on file for each site includes photopoint files (photopoint maps and description of locations for documentary photographs), color slides (the work process, before-and-after documentation), administrative files (calculations of volumes for excavation, equipment/hours/costs, daily logs, contracts, etc.), detailed geomorphic site maps (unmarked mylar base maps with overlays), and aerial photographs.
