The purpose of this report is to describe the study area, methods, and results of a surficial geology inventory within the North Cascades National Park Service Complex (NOCA). This is one of the 12 basic resource inventories initiated by the National Park Service (NPS) Natural Resource Challenge in 1998. The study area for this report is the Bacon Creek Watershed (Fig. 1), which is presented in three sections: the main stem above the East Fork junction, the main stem below the East Fork junction, and the East Fork of Bacon Creek (Fig. 2).

The purpose of the LHZ project is to assist foresters and land managers in pre-identifying unstable slopes. The approaches for regulating forest practices on unstable slopes developed by the authors have several elements. It may include a report, maps and data sheets with varying titles from project-to-project depending on the WAU (watershed administrative unit). Per the agency, as of Dec. 2012 the project has ceased. Because of this, the elements for each WAU may vary and are complete at this time.
