This THP is about 8 miles SE of Orick, CA and about 4 miles east of Redwood National Park at an elevation of 1,200 to 2,400 feet. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning a mostly clearcut tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in Douglas fir and redwood forests. There are 23 unstable areas in the THP area including; 5 shallow rapid landslides in unit A, 8 shallow rapid landslides in unit B, 8 shallow rapid landslides and 2 deep seated landslides in unit F. The THP area flows into the Lower Klamath River watershed which is listed as an impaired watershed for sediment, temperature, dissolved oxygen and nutrients. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning to construct a landing between 2 watercourse areas. 12 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning, culvert repair/replacement and restoration of washed out crossings. Golden eagles have been reported within .5 miles of units A, B, C, D and E, and there are spotted owl nesting territories within .25 miles of units B, C and F, and within .5 miles of units D and E.
