Environmental Impact - Soil/water effects

Furniss, M.J., Flanagan, S.A. & McFadin, B. A. Hydrologicallly-connected roads: An indicator of the influence of roads on chronic sedimentation, surface water hydrology, and exposure to toxic chemicals: 1-2.

Abstract

Defines the concept of forest road drainage as a transport system for sediment into streams, and proposes design changes to road drainage that would prevent or minimize this movement. Not OHV-specific but highly appropriate to OHV management. Includes a bibliography and a Forest Service website contact for obtaining other Forest Service research on stream protection.
