This THP is about 6 miles NE of Arnold, CA, 3 miles north of Dorrington, CA, and just north of Highway 4 at an elevation of 4,100 to 6,000 feet. Sierra Pacific Industries is planning a clearcut and fuel break tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in ponderosa pine, sugar pine, white fir and incense cedar forests. There are 6 unstable areas including multiple rotational slumps, dormant slips and broken uneven ground. SPI is planning to use 15 skid trails, roads and landings inside class I (year round), class II (mid sized) and class III (seasonal) watercourse areas. 89 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning and culvert repair/replacement. In 2015, a goshawk was reported in section 19, and in 2006, a goshawk was reported in section 18.
