This THP is located about a mile east of Fortuna, CA and Highway 101, and just west of the BLM Headwaters Preserve (Unit 2 is adjacent) at an elevation of 600 to 1,400 feet. Humboldt Redwood Company is planning a mostly group selection tractor and cable logging operation on steep and unstable slopes in redwood, grand fir and Douglas fir forests. The THP area flows into the Eel River which is listed as an impaired watershed for sediment and temperature. There are 45 landslide terrain sites including multiple debris slides, debris slide slopes, debris flows, unstable stream-side slopes, earth flows and 33 road related fill slope, cut bank and culvert failures. Humboldt Redwood Company is planning to use ground based equipment on existing skid trails in areas designated for cable logging. 46 road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning, culvert repair/replacement and restoration of washed out crossings. There are 16 spotted owl nesting territories within 1.3 miles of the THP area.
