Physical monitoring and evaluation of the Lost Man Creek dam removal: 1991 progress report
Ozaki VL. 1992. Physical monitoring and evaluation of the Lost Man Creek dam removal: 1991 progress report. Redwood National Park
When Redwood National Park removed an unused hatchery dam on Lost Man Creek, staff monitored effects on the stream and its channel. (Release of sediment by this removal could affect aquatic habitat and the newer hatchery dam downstream.) Preliminary study results show that most of the changes occurred close to the dam site, with minimal sedimentation in areas below. The author indicates that recovery is likely within the 3-8 years estimated in the Environmental Assessment. Annual monitoring is to continue for five years. Most of this paper consists of illustrations: location maps, data tables, longitudinal profiles, and a channel cross section (more in Appendix A). Appendix B summarizes channel changes, and C plots sediment size distribution at cross sections.
