This THP is about 12 miles SE of Trinidad, CA and Highway 101 at an elevation of 1,120 to 2,120 feet. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning a mostly clearcut tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in redwood and Douglas fir forests (trees over 40” dbh in units A and B, and trees over 60” dbh in unit D). The THP area flows into Redwood Creek which is listed as an impaired watershed for sediment and temperature. There is a small shallow rapid landslide terrain site, and associated debris slide in unit E. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning to construct a temporary road inside unit E through the outer edge of a class II (mid sized) watercourse, and construct a temporary road onto a bench between 2 class II (mid sized) watercourse areas in unit E. 16 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning, culvert repair/replacement and restoration of washed out crossings. In 1992, a fisher was reported inside unit B and southern torrent salamanders are known to occur immediately adjacent to unit B. There are 9 spotted owl nesting territories within 1.3 miles of the THP area, including spotted owl nesting territories within .25 miles of unit A, and within .5 miles of units B, C, D and E.
