  • Reducing sediment production from forest roads during wet-weather use

    Creator:
    Toman, Elizabeth Myers
    Abstract:
    Forest roads produce fine sediment with traffic during wet weather. If the forest road is connected to a stream it can be a source of turbidity and fine sediment that may be detrimental to aquatic organisms especially salmonids. The goal of this work was to investigate turbid runoff during wet-weather...

  • Sediment Transport Prototypes : Novel Methods to Disconnect Forest Roads from Streams

    Creator:
    Kemp, Erica D.
    Abstract:
    Unpaved roads are a critical form of infrastructure in forested landscapes but also a potential source of fine sediment that can degrade sensitive ecosystems nearby. Improved management of aggregate road surfacing can reduce sediment generation, lengthen its useful life span, reduce maintenance costs, and more importantly, mitigate the impacts of...
