Creating Proper Stream Crossings         
————————————————————————————————————————


During forest harvesting and management activities it is often necessary to cross intermittent or perennial streams. You can minimize the effects of road crossings by modules/planning as few crossings as possible. Road and trail approaches to stream crossings must have good surface drainage that turns water into undisturbed areas away from the stream course.
