		More than half of the South Fork Skokomish watershed has been logged in the past 40 years and the density of logging roads is among the highest in the nation.
		Failure of these logging roads has significantly increased sediment loads so that the river bed in the lower watershed is actually increasing in elevation.
		Coupled with this increased sediment, the diversion of North Fork Skokomish waters from Cushman Reservoir means that total power available to move the sediments out to Hood Canal is now reduced.
