This THP is a few miles NE of the town of Smith River, CA and Highway 101, and about 3 miles south of the CA/OR border at an elevation of 200 to 1,600 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 shallow rapid landslide terrain sites in units B (2) and E, and 1 deep seated landslide terrain site in unit C. Green Diamond Resource Company is planning to use temporary roads and landings during the winter period, and construct 3 temporary roads segments inside a class II (mid sized) watercourse area within unit B. Eight road drainage sites are planned for work including rocking, dip construction, ditch cleaning and culvert repair/replacement. Foothill yellow legged frogs are known to occur at Rowdy Creek within .25 miles of unit E, and within .5 miles of unit F. In 2008, a Del Norte salamander was reported within .6 miles of units E and F, and coastal tailed frogs are known to occur immediately adjacent to unit E. There are spotted owl nesting territories within .25 miles of unit F.
