The study area is located in the Bulkley River drainage (watershed code 460) of the Skeena River watershed in north-central British Columbia (Figure 1). Selected streams in the area were inventoried for stream classification under the Forest Practices Code (FPC) and evaluation of requirements for appropriate management of stream/wetland riparian zones related to cutting permits 364-1&2, 366-1&2, and the Peter Main access road.
