allowed to construct access trails for mastication machines within the unit? With the understanding that those trails will have to be reclaimed. Answer: The area is not cleared for dirt moving activities, so trails/roads cannot be made. The FS could clear site specific creek crossings for access in some areas.

#3 Will juniper trees interspersed in stands of hardwood, that cannot be removed without damaging existing hardwood trees be allowed to remain.

Answer: We don't want the hardwoods to be damaged, 90% of the area needs to be completed and those hardwood spots can be used for the 10%.

#4 Will the contractor be allowed to map out smaller acreage areas within the units for certification/payment. Answer: As previously stated, the FS will pay progress payments at

500-acre intervals but would be agreeable to negotiate if circumstances warrant. However, with progress payments the total unit (Magpie

Units 1 & 2) will not be considered accepted until total unit is complete, inspected and accepted.
