Lost Man Creek dam removal, Rehabilitation Unit 89-3, Redwood National Park
Short DA. 1991. Lost Man Creek dam removal, Rehabilitation Unit 89-3, Redwood National Park
In August 1989 Redwood National Park removed an unused hatchery dam on Lost Man Creek that was in disrepair, a visitor hazard, and limiting fish migration for spawning. This report discusses the research and planning, procedures, monitoring, costs (with 3 tables). It also describes some methods suggested for treatment of sediment trapped behind the dam to avoid affecting aquatic habitat and the newer hatchery dam downstream. This report is listed as one of the watershed rehabilitation series, a large group containing details of individual projects done as part of the major rehabilitation efforts in the Redwood Creek basin. 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.
