Environmental assessment: removal of Ah Pah Road and spurs and site restoration
Short DA. 1994. Environmental assessment: removal of Ah Pah Road and spurs and site restoration. National Park Service, Redwood National Park
Roads originally built for timber companies were later used by Caltrans during construction of the Highway 101 bypass. The bypass isolated some and others are dead-end segments. As part of the agreement with Caltrans, that agency is funding restoration of these areas to reduce erosion and other impacts on downstream resources. In particular, anadromous salmonids are affected by the additional sediment when road failures, common on abandoned roads, occur. The assessment notes natural resources of the affected area, along with impacts of several alternative plans. The report contains location maps.
