Abstract
The Ritherdon Road extension project on the west coast of Vancouver Island was used in 1975 to study the relationship between logging road design and construction tasks, and stream sedimentation. A method of determining least cost logging road design and construction prescriptions to meet stream sedimentation standards is described using sample data.
