Table 1: Hydrology proposals (Map 4). 

Hydrology Treatments Compartment/Stand Amount 

Increase the vegetation diversity and accelerate tree growth, and to speed delivery of large wood to streams. Non-commercial thinning and/or girdle 27 acres of moderate-high to high stocked stands in riparian areas (mostly hemlock treatments) 

480/51- Within proposed vegetation treatment acres. 1,450’ x 100’; 478/07- Other side of stream from 480/51. 1,450’ x 100’; 481/35- 2,600’ x 100’; 472/06- Within proposed silvicultural treatment, 3,450’ x 100’; 809/63- 2,100’ x 200’ 30 acres

Complete one to two miles of stream restoration or enhancement for native and desired non-native species where suitable habitat is lacking, annually (FP, p. 20). Large wood additions; Fell 50 to 100 trees per mile into streams and onto floodplains to improve aquatic habitat diversity, trap sediment, and slow flood flows. Trees will be cut at least ten feet from the channel. These treatments will thin some trees out of moderate to high stocked stands. 

Camp Run, Chappel Fork, Markham Run, Meade Run, Pine Run, Root Run, Thundershower Run, Windfall Run, and a tributary to Wintergreen Run Fell 50 to 100 trees 

per mile, 

21 miles

Add in-stream log structures to help stabilize eroding banks and improve aquatic habitat. Structures would be constructed using logs, rocks, large equipment and hand labor [PA Fish and Boat Commission 2007, Habitat Improvement for Trout Streams]. 

Kinzua Creek 

6 miles

Table 2: Non-native invasive plant proposals (Map 4).

Invasive Plant Treatments Locations Acres 

Remove invasive plants and reestablish native plants to promote forest health and native plant diversity. Manual, mechanical and/or herbicide of NNIP. In select areas of NNIP treatments, native species will be planted by seed or plants to establish desired vegetation. Planting areas and species will be determined after treatment of NNIP has been conducted and determined to be sufficient. 

Red Bridge recreation area, Timberdoodle Flats wildlife area, road corridors, riparian corridors (Kinzua Creek, Pine, Root, Markham, and Meade Runs, respectively).

Table 3: Recreation proposals, Kinzua Creek fishing access (Map 4).

Recreation Treatments Location 

Widen area for three vehicles to park along the road; vehicles would be off of the road. 

SR 3006, 0.6 mi. to .85 mi. from SR 219, North side, just past 

guardrail from the area along existing road 

Remove pipe across the creek restore site, decommission road, harden parking site. 

SR 3006, 0.9 mi. from SR 219, just before the bridge, after the 

guard rail, North side, existing pull off with a road that leads to the creek. 

Develop and harden parking area for four vehicles, signing. SR 3006, At 1.0 mi. from SR 219, South side, OGM road, 

opening next to a well 

Block, harden for one vehicle parking and restore site. SR 3006,1.4 mi. from SR 219, North side where the road access 

nearly reaches the Creek 

Harden pull off for one vehicle. SR 3006, 1.5 mi. from SR 219, North side Improve vehicle parking for the first 100 feet, with a tear drop design to allow a turn around. Install barriers and rehabilitate remaining site. 

SR 3006, 1.7 mi. from SR 219, North side, just past the guard 

rails. Bridge abutments on the creek, large dispersed impacted 

camp site with side channels and wetlands. 

Harden and expand pull off for one or possibly two vehicles. SR 3006, 1.8 mi. from SR 219, North side,Harden existing site. SR 3006, 2.0 mi. from SR 219, North side Improve and define a circular access road (limestone) around the wetland and install boulders to protect the wetland, harden dispersed camp sites, on the perimeter loop to mitigate existing resource damage. 

SR 3006, 2.3 mi. from SR 219, North side, old gate posts, goes 

back to a muddy high impact area, ball field (a small wetland sits in the middle of it). 

Stabilize, harden, and provide improved access at two sites and protect an eroded stream bank
