Resource Abstract:
repr. 1995, Landslide classification system, Open File Report 95-1. Because much of Washington's commercial forest land is
in mountainous terrain,. that land is susceptible to slope instability of various forms and rates. Improper forest practices
(notably those associated with road construction and maintenance and timber harvest) can increase mass wasting on slopes of
marginal stability. Since implementation of the Timber/Fish/Wildlife Agreement in 1987, the Cooperative Monitoring, Evaluation,
and Research committee, the Sediment, Hydrology, and Mass Wasting technical steering committee, and the Department of Natural
Resources (DNR) have been engaged in cooperative interdisciplinary efforts to study mass erosion on forest lands, improve
methods by which it is addressed, and generally reduce the adverse effects of forest practices on slope stability and downstream
resources.
