C.5 Description/Specifications

General

The purpose of the FY19 Charlton Chilao Integrated Fuels Project is to restore the health and vigor of the natural stands and reduce the hazardous fuels that contribute to crown fire initiation and sustain crown fire spread. The project is designed to reduce tree density, remove competing vegetation, reduce hazardous fuels, and reduce crown length to promote forest health and reduce tree mortality from bark beetles and wildfire. There are two Treatment Levels within this project area. Live trees shall be thinned from below; live and dead brush shall be cut from around residual trees, residual trees shall be pruned (crown lift). Brush canopy will be reduced and piling of slash. Standing dead or dying trees will be cut limbed and bucked up. Downed dead trees will be limbed and bucked up.

Contract boundary is marked with blue flagging. Treatment level boundary is marked in blue/white striped flagging.

There are “Limited Operating Periods” for this project. Hand cutting/piling is limited to April 1 through December 30. Mechanical treatments are limited to April 1 through November 1 to season ending snow event. High PAL levels in summer (fire season) may restrict mechanical treatments.

Riparian Conservation Areas (RCA) will be identified if requested with orange flagging. No manual or mechanical thinning, crown lift, release or clearing and hand piling will take place within 200 feet from a streambank on either side of a perennial stream or 50 feet from the streambank on either side of an intermittent stream.

Avoid and protect any cultural sites. These sites will be identified with orange flagging.

Other “Control Areas” will be identified with orange flagging.

Mechanized equipment including but not limited to tractors, masticators or power shears will be limited to slopes less than or equal to 35% and on short steep pitches up to 50%. The Contractor shall apply Fomes Annosus treatment chemical to all freshly cut conifer stumps (alive or dead trees). Application shall occur within 4 hours of cutting. The Contractor shall adhere to all County, State, and Federal laws and regulations regarding this pesticide. This includes label directions and restrictions for application, handling storage, transportation and employee safety.

The Contractor shall submit all required Use Reports to all appropriate agencies within required time frames.

All roads and trails will be kept open at all times especially, FS Road 3N17, Pacific Crest Trail, and the road leading into Horse flats campground. All debris, slash, trees etc. will be removed from the roadway before the end of each working day. Appropriate traffic control will be done on roads and trails to facilitate contractor and forest user’s safety and use.

Snag Removal Cut all dead and dying trees less than 16.0 inches DBH. Snags larger than 16.0 inches are to be left standing except those snags within 100 foot of road, trail or facility/structure. All snags within 100 foot of a road, trail (both sides of roads and trails) or facility/structure will be felled.

Felled standing dead where all needles have fallen off will be limbed and bucked into 20 foot sections. All felled dying trees with needles still attached will be limbed and bucked into 2 foot sections. Downed dead trees will be limbed and bucked into 20 foot lengths. Slash to be treated as stipulated under the heading Slash Treatments.

Down logs shall be left for wildlife habitat not to exceed 120 lineal feet of largest available on site. Priority shall be given to existing partially buried down logs. Within 20 feet of roads and trails additional down logs shall be left in numbers and locations approved by the Contracting Officer, to restrict motor vehicle access. Retain a minimum of 10-15 hard snags per 5 acres (minimum 16 inches DBH and 40 foot tall), except in fuel breaks or where there is a safety concern and 6 down logs per acre (minimum 12 inches DBH and 20 foot long). Snags with wildlife cavities or nests and trees that serve as acorn storage will be retained over snags lacking wildlife activity.

Small Diameter Thinning

Level I Treatment Area

Trees will be thinned from below to a 10-20 spacing between the crowns of dominant and co-dominant individuals or clumps of trees. Residual basal area after thinning will be 80 sq. ft. /acre.

Within the project area trees less than 20.0 inches DBH that are at least 3 feet tall shall be thinned. The residual stand shall have an average spacing between crowns of individual and/or clumps of trees of 10 - 20 feet.

Where clumps are retained, spacing between adjacent clumps shall be a minimum of 20 feet so that the crowns of adjacent clumps are separated by at least 10 feet. Retained tree clumps shall be a maximum size of 1/20th acre (circle with a radius of 26 feet). Within clumps, bole spacing shall average 8 to 10 feet; overtopped trees shall be removed from dripline of retained trees.

Level II Treatment Area

Thin from below trees equal to or less than 14 inches in diameter to 20 x 20 foot spacing between boles or clumps of trees. Within the project area trees less than 14 inches DBH that are at least 3 feet tall shall be thinned.

Where clumps are retained, spacing between adjacent clumps shall be a minimum of 20 feet so that the crowns of adjacent clumps are separated by at least 10 feet,. Retained clumps shall be a maximum size of 1/20th of an acre (circle with a radius of 26 feet).

Common to Both Treatment Areas

Leave tree species preference shall be as follows: big cone Douglas fir, sugar pine, Jeffrey pine, ponderosa pine, Coulter pine, single-leaf pinyon pine, incense cedar; white fir, coast live oak and canyon live oak with primary stem DBH greater than 8 inches, Arizona cypress, and knobcone pine. Residual trees, when available, shall have crown ratios that average 60% or greater; be in the dominant and co-dominant crown classes; have good crown and bole form; and have no obvious insect, disease, or mechanical injury. Retained oak trees shall have up to three of the largest primary stems left uncut per retained plant. See Attachment A to this task order for further tree selection specifications.

Maximum stump height of the thinned trees shall no greater than 6 inches. Conifer stumps will be left a horizontally flat as possible with no hinges or wood pieces to facilitate proper placement of the registered Fomes Annosus treatment chemical.

Retain a minimum of 5 oaks 12 inches DBH or greater per acre. Retain trees in clumps and leave those that appear to have high acorn production. Retain a natural appearance where possible with residual or leave trees in random patterns with occasional clumps of 3-4 trees per clump. Any trees supporting bird nests and nesting cavities will be left intact.

A sample mark or marks, and additional clarification may be provided by the Forest Service if requested.

Pruning

Level I Treatment Area

All reatined oak trees shall have all primary uncut stems pruned to a height of 6 feet. All tresidual trees lessthan 30 feet shall be pruned to height no greater than ½ of the tree height.

Low hanging, sweeping branches less than 6 feet above ground level and connected to the primary tree bole aboove 6 feet shall be cut at an average of 6 feet above ground level. This usually is necessary on trees such as oak species with low sweeping branches.

Common to Treatment Area

Live and dead shrubs shall be cut and removed from the area beneath the dripline of all residual trees and tree clumps to a distance of 10 foot from the dripline. All brush cut shall be cut below the lowest live branch and have a stump height not greater than 4 inches above ground level or above obstacles.

Treatment Level II

Remove all shrubs and small trees from underneath and around each residual tree less than 20 inches in diameter at breast height to distance of 10 feet from the dripline of each residual tree less than 20 inches in diameter at breast height.

Common to Treatment Area
