A central goal of forest and watershed management in British Columbia has been to minimize changes in sediment and debris production and delivery to streams, to avoid changes to runoff patterns and to eliminate direct disturbance of channel banks and beds. To accomplish this, harvesting plans are now designed to avoid landslide and erosion prone terrain, limit harvest rates, ensure high standards of road building and maintenance and prohibit tree falling and yarding adjacent to streams (Anon, 1995). Past practices, however, were not as carefully applied and serious environmental impacts on stream channels and aquatic ecosystems have been wide spread (Tripp, 1994). The stream Channel Conditions and Prescriptions Assessment (CCPA) is one component of the Watershed Restoration Program (WRP) and is intended to supplement several other assessment procedures, particularly the Fish Habitat Restoration Procedures (FHRP).
