Forestry best management practices to protect water quality (BMPs) effectively reduce erosion and sediment transport during and immediately following forest harvest operations. BMPs help maintain healthy aquatic habitats, clean drinking water supplies, and reusable skid trails and forest roads. The costs of implementing BMPs are typically incurred by loggers in the form of equipment and labor costs. Additional costs may be incurred where BMPs extend harvest operations and reduce system productivity
