Maidenhair THP2-10-031-TEH SPI 306 Acres (300 acres Clearcut) ~2 miles upstream from known steelhead populations Checked Item 27(j) for ASP in lieus
ASP – Option V Info • No Class II-Large in the plan • Standard Buffer Widths in Class I & Class II • No operations in buffers • 75’ for Class I • 50’ for Class II • 25’ for Class III Maidenhair THP2-10-031-TEH
Option V Considerations • Relatively few units adjacent to watercourses • Units located on one side of stream • Watercourses largely spring-fed • Past stream temperature and turbidity data • Judd Creek Study Maidenhair THP2-10-031-TEH
