Rivers and Roads : Exploring How Environmental Governance Impacts State Management of Forest Roads

Creator:

Detwiler, Stacey M.

Abstract:

This study explores how environmental governance mechanisms affect state management of forest roads to address the chronic delivery of sediment to streams in Oregon, Washington, and California on private and state forestlands. Forest roads can degrade water quality and harm aquatic life when runoff mobilizes fine sediments from the road...

Minimizing total cost of construction, maintenance, and transportation costs with computer-aided forest road design

Creator:

Akay, Abdullah Emin

Abstract:

The systems currently available for forest road design are not capable of making computer-aided design judgments such as: 1) automated generation of alternative grade lines, 2) optimizing vertical alignment, 3) minimizing total cost of construction, maintenance, and transportation costs, and 4) aiming for least environmental impacts. In recent years, advances...
