| Abstract |
The biological and chemical effects of three types of log storage on water quality were investigated. Three flow-through log ponds, two wet deck operations, and five log rafting areas were studied. Both biological and chemical aspects of stream quality can be adversely affected by flow-through log ponds and runoff from wet decks. Severity of degradation varies widely with each situation. Runoff from wet decks had pollution characteristics equal to or greater than that of the waters from the flow-through log ponds studied. Esthetically, a stream can be affected by the dark color of the water coming from a log pond or wet deck. Floating bark from a log raft or a log pond is also aesthetically displeasing. The most significant problem associated with log rafting is the loss of bark which commonly occurs when the logs are dumped into the water. |
