DESCRIPTION
The goal of this analysis was to assess the impact of proposed timber harvest on the ecosystem. Federal modules were used for watershed analyses-Sedimentation, Channel Morphology, Fisheries, Vegetation, Riparian, Wildlife, Public Works, Cultural, Hazard Calls, Prescriptions, Maps and Appendices. This analysis added Vegetation and Wildlife modules that the state lacked previously.
This was the first use of the Cultural module, which became a standard of the Forest and Fish Report later. The Quileute Tribe led the Cultural module and participated in the Fish and Water Quality modules.
The Watershed Analysis was published by the US Forest Service.

Target species were spring, summer and fall Chinook, spring and fall coho, summer and winter steelhead, rare pink and chum, Lake Pleasant sockeye, cutthroat trout, unique char above the Sol Duc Falls, and the Spotted Owl (as part of the Wildlife module).
