the primary breakdown point for logs when entering the logs.
Passers-by can't help but notice the
large blue building under construction
at Warm Springs Forest Products
Industries. What's going on, they may
ask themselves. Well, for those
unfamiliar with the operation, here's

The Harm springs fisheries biologist and Warm springs watermaster
recently visited Shit ike Creek near the site of Warm springs Forest
Products Industries. A power company, while erecting poles, damaged
sensitive riparian areas. The large equipment was taken through riparian
vegetation into the stream where support wires were anchored. A ccording
to biologist Mark Fritsch, the action creates increased sediment in the
water and also destabilizes streambanks which are important in preventing
erosion and filtering run-off water.
