All is such a big term. Unless they use nukes to construct it, a gravel road is highly unlikely to kill all the wildlife in the area, unless there were only one or two life forms to begin with.

Logging roads and the Clean Water Act

This year promises to be a busy time for those working to protect rivers, streams and salmon from logging road pollution.

Logging roads are a major source of pollution in our rivers and streams. They push sediment into water, suffocating salmon and sullying drinking water sources when they are constructed, but they also divert sediment into clean water sources, particularly when being actively used by logging trucks. It seems only fair that this industry would have to comply with the Clean Water Act like so many other industries in America.
