Mandatory Item 1: Cut and Pile Fire Killed Roadside Trees:

Gold Units (150 Total Acres) - 304 (18 ac), 333 (20 ac), 346 (85 ac), 724 (15 ac), 846 (12 ac), and Caldwell Units (376 Total Acres) - 401 (109 ac), 422 (65 ac), 428 (98 ac), 804 (104 ac)

1. All dead trees 3” DBH and greater that meet the following criteria and that are 1.5 times the tree height from the road shall be felled:

a. Dead (having no green needles).

b. Designated by COR/GTM by agreed to method.

c. Structurally damaged to the point that failure and/or tree mortality is imminent.

d. A probability of 0.7 (70%) will be used for determining trees for removal within designation by damage class Gold (1 to 39) and Caldwell (1 to 9) salvage units. A probability of 0.7 (70%) will be used for determining trees for removal within designation by damage class in roadside hazard Gold units (304, 333, 346, 724, 846) and Caldwell units (401, 422, 428,804) within 1.5 times tree height from the road edge.

2. All felled trees and downed trees 3.0” DBH and larger and within the treatment area (no more than 1.5 tree length from road edge) shall be skid or yarded to agreed upon landing locations to be piled (except as agreed to leave in place, designated contour felling areas for slope stabilization, and/or other sensitive areas identified during operations). Skidding operations shall adhere to C6.42# of Appendix B. Landing locations shall be on relatively flat ground for safe operations,

3. All contractor felled trees and previously felled/existing downed trees 3.0” DBH and larger shall be treated based on the following:

a. All trees 15.0” DBH and larger shall be piled/decked in whole tree or log form.

b. Sorting and processing of logs is not required unless products are being removed as TSA is being removed under Option Item #3.

c. All trees 3” DBH to 14.9”” DBH and other large woody fuels such as broken tops shall be treated as slash and piled for disposal and/or burning by FS or chipped. Piles may be located throughout the units and/or at landing locations.

d. Unless otherwise agreed, slash piles shall not be closer than 10 feet from the edge of decked merchantable logs or 20 feet from the drip line of any residual green tree. All piles shall be reasonable compact and free of soil, stumps and rocks to facilitate burning and shall be constructed

Page 2 of 2 Big Valley Ranger District

Amendment 002 Attachment B of such size and at such distance from trees so that burning shall not result in unnecessary damage to residual trees. Piles shall be located a distance of at least twice their height in feet from the outer edge of live tree crowns or snags. Piles shall be no less than 15 feet in height and 15 feet in diameter. Material extending three feet or more outside the edge of a pile shall be trimmed. An eight foot fuel break shall be cleared of all but fine material around each pile and an 18 inch wide fire line shall be cleared to mineral soil around the outer ring of the fuel break. Piles will be a target size of 15 feet in height and 15 feet in diameter where practicable and as compact as possible. Smaller piles can be constructed in areas of sparser material instead of scattering material. Small diameter tops shall be mixed with boles for efficient burning. Piles shall be reasonably free of dirt, stumps, and rocks.

e. Directional felling is required to protect forest resources and improvements.

All units shall include:

• cut trees include all dead trees greater than 3 inches DBH.

• Stumps shall be no higher than 12 inches from the ground.
