This THP is about 9 miles SE of Scotia, CA and just south of Highway 36 and Grizzly Creek Redwoods State Park (the northern portion of the THP area is adjacent) at an elevation of 600 to 1,600 feet. Humboldt Redwood Company is planning a mostly group selection tractor based logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in redwood, Douglas fir, and grand fir forests. The THP area flows into the Van Duzen River which is listed as an impaired watershed for sediment and temperature. There are 105 landslide terrain sites including multiple; debris slides, debris slopes, earth flows, disrupted ground, steep inner gorges, debris flows, and 49 road related cut bank and fill slope failures. Logging is planned within .25 miles of large tree marbled murrelet stand 312C. Humboldt Redwood Company is planning to use ground based equipment in unstable areas on existing skid trails. 37 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning and culvert repair/replacement. Foothill yellow legged frogs were reported in the THP area, and there are 6 spotted owl nesting territories within 1.3 miles of the THP area.
