Book excerpt: This study tests the applicability of using an Integrated Resource Management (IRM) strategy for more effectively managing riparian zones along electric transmission Rightofways (ROWs). A literature search revealed that while there is an extensive body of information about the importance of riparian zones in creating and maintain aquatic habitat, there has been no research conducted on the effects of transmission powerline vegetation management on riparian zones in British Columbia (BC). Further, an apparent management contradiction exists because electric utilities traditionally manage vegetation on ROWs by cutting all tall trees, whereas in most other situations, tall growing riparian communities are being preserved or restored. In response to this the primary research question for this study is "Is it possible for riparian zone function to be integrated with current vegetation management practices along electric transmission ROWs in BC?" To investigate the problem 12 separate sites across the BC Hydro transmission facility were studied. Variables were selected as indicators of four separate, but functionally related riparian ecosystem functions; energy flow, stream hydrology, bank stability and habitat complexity. Site data was collected, processed and then each case was described and evaluated independently before trends were compared between sites. Vegetation management practices were investigated by reviewing BC Hydro's documents and by conducting guided interviews with BC Hydro staff. Trends between ecosystem function and vegetation management activities were then compared to the literature to complete analysis. The key findings of the study are that traditional vegetation maintenance activities appear to have mixed, site sensitive impacts on the riparian ecosystem functions studied. BC Hydro is implementing a management process designed to integrate site specific issues and varied technical information into workplans. As a result, most of the conditions necessary for integrating riparian function with electric transmission ROWs maintenance are present in BC. Recommendations are provided which describe the remaining conditions necessary for a successful IRM approach to this issue. Hence, the project links IRM theory to a case study example and describes a set of parameters necessary to more effectively manage riparian zones along electric transmission corridors.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Clean Water Act (CWA) requires that wetlands be protected from degradation because of their important ecological functions including maintenance of high water quality and provision of fish and wildlife habitat. However, this protection generally does not encompass riparian areasâ€"the lands bordering rivers and lakesâ€"even though they often provide the same functions as wetlands. Growing recognition of the similarities in wetland and riparian area functioning and the differences in their legal protection led the NRC in 1999 to undertake a study of riparian areas, which has culminated in Riparian Areas: Functioning and Strategies for Management. The report is intended to heighten awareness of riparian areas commensurate with their ecological and societal values. The primary conclusion is that, because riparian areas perform a disproportionate number of biological and physical functions on a unit area basis, restoration of riparian functions along America's waterbodies should be a national goal.
Book Synopsis Environment Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management 8th International Symposium by : John W. Goodrich-Mahoney
Download or read book Environment Concerns in Rights-of-Way Management 8th International Symposium written by John W. Goodrich-Mahoney and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2011-08-11 with total page 873 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The management of rights-of-way by electric and telephone utilities, highway departments, gas pipeline companies, and railroads around the world is guided and constrained by policies and regulations to protect the environment. Companies that manage rights-of-way are required to comply with these regulations, and are seeking the most cost-effective management practices that, at the same time, demonstrate stewardship of the environment. Protection of biodiversity and sustainable development are especially important as national goals in many countries, and rights-of-way managers are seeking practical ways to include public participation in their operations. * Addresses environmental issues in rights-of-way planning and management * Provides a forum for information exchange among various agencies, industries, environmental consultants, and academic organizations * Presents peer-reviewed papers to help achieve a better understanding of current environmental issues involved in rights-of-way management

Book excerpt: Improperly constructed or maintained roads near riparian and wetland areas may degrade these valuable sites. Degradation affects many aspects of the riparian and wetland ecosystems. This field guide presents information in a practical, user friendly format to help resource managers and professionals. Well-documented evaluation and monitoring strategies are critical in riparian road restoration projects. Learning from mistakes as well as successes helps to improve and protect valuable riparian and wetland sites. This two-volume field guide covers the management and techniques for riparian restoration near roads. The field guides cover the following topics: (1) riparian area considerations, (2) monitoring, (3) planning projects, (4) laws and regulations, and (5) techniques to use in the field.
