Major Cleanup Ahead for WA's Old Forest Roads
Olympia, WA – A Washington State official says thousands of miles of mostly-abandoned logging roads in Washington amount to what he calls a "ticking time bomb." The roads are located in the national forests in the state, from mountain ridges all the way to Puget Sound. Most of them aren't maintained and are washing out, jeopardizing downstream water quality and wildlife habitat, including salmon spawning areas.
