This THP is about 6 miles NE of Trinidad, CA and Highway 101 by Redwood National Park (unit C is adjacent) at an elevation of 800 to 2,200 feet. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning a mostly clearcut tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in Douglas fir, redwood and western hemlock forests. The THP area flows into Redwood Creek which is listed as an impaired watershed for sediment and temperature, and there is a small rapid landslide terrain site in unit A. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning to use an existing road and landing inside a class II (mid sized) watercourse within unit B, and use temporary roads and landings during the winter period. They also are proposing a 2.3 acre buffer known as a “Special Treatment Area” to hide the effects of clearcutting adjacent to Redwood National Park in unit C. There is potential marbled murrelet habitat within .25 miles of the LP Mill Road on Humboldt Redwoods State Park lands, within .25 miles of the BL 2000 Road, and .6 miles south of unit C. Four osprey nest sites are located nearby including; 1 nest within .25 miles of the LP Mill Road, 2 nests within .25 miles of the BL 2000 Road, and a nest within .25 miles of the BL 1000 Road. Southern torrent salamanders are known to occur within .25 miles of units A, B and C, tailed frogs are known to occur within .25 miles of unit A, and a great blue heron rockery is located .22 miles east of the BL 2000 Road.
