Abstract:

A road segment using mill-generated bark and wood fiber as primary fill material was recently constructed on the Stikine Area of the Tongass National Forest in Alaska. Water-quality monitoring detected minimal effects of leachates from the road on the chemistry of three small streams that the road crosses. The parameter most affected is pH; increases of 0.5 to 1.5 pH units have been observed in the naturally acidic streams. Dissolved oxygen in the streams remains unaffected. All observed effects appear to be within the limits of Alaska water-quality standards.
