I am trying to compile information about different options to use when
making temporary  stream and wetland crossings during skidding and hauling
operations.  Some of the stream crossing options that I am aware of include
fords, culverts, bridges (glulam, steel, wooden timbers), and PVC pipes.
Wetland crossing options include tire mats, low ground pressure equipment,
and wooden mats.

1.  Can you tell me about any additional options that you are aware of?

2.  Can you provide me informational sources for any studies which have
quantified short-term and/or long-term impacts (e.g., turbidity,
conductivity, length of time of any impacts) associated with the
installation, use, and/or removal of one or more of these different options?

Thank you for your assistance.
