This THP is about 15 miles north of Crescent City, CA along the California/Oregon state line border at an elevation of 140 to 1,080 feet. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning a mostly clearcut tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in redwood, Douglas fir and western hemlock forests. There are 9 landslide terrain sites including; 1 deep seated landslide and 1 shallow rapid landslide terrain site in unit A, 1 shallow rapid landslide terrain site in unit B, 1 shallow rapid landslide terrain site in unit C, 2 shallow rapid landslide terrain sites in unit E, and 3 shallow rapid landslide terrain sites in unit F. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning to re-construct a seasonal road exceeding 15% to 20% grade for a distance of 500 feet or greater to access unit A, and construct a seasonal road exceeding 15% grade for a distance of 500 feet or greater to access unit F. 16 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning, culvert repair/replacement and restoration of washed out crossings. There is potential marbled murrelet habitat within .25 miles of the WI-1000 Road on Siskiyou National Forest and Oregon State lands. In 2008, Del Norte salamanders were spotted in or near units A, C, D, E and F, and in 2008, Del Norte salamanders were reported within the vicinity of units B, C, D, E and F.
