About this file
This is a Detailed Unit Information Sheet for a forest thinning and vegetation management project titled "2026 KFT - Manual #2" on the Colville National Forest (Newport & Sullivan Lake Road). The project has an estimated start date of June 1, 2026, and a period of performance end date of November 30, 2026.
The document specifies detailed forestry operations across multiple units organized by subitem and geographic location (Misery Lake, Limestone, Lost Creek, and Ione). Each unit contains specific requirements for slash treatment methods (lop and scatter, hand pile, slash removal, buck logging and thinning slash), tree spacing standards (primarily 14x14 feet or 16x16 feet), elevation ranges (2200-5100 feet), and species preference orders for cutting. All units require preservation of Western White Pine (WP), Ponderosa Pine (PP), and Pacific Yew (PY) trees, with additional species retention requirements specified by unit. The maximum DBH (diameter at breast height) cut limit is standardized at 30 inches across units, with a minimum crown ratio of 4.9-6.9% specified. Slack handling requirements include bucking logs to 10-foot lengths, pulling back slash 3-5 feet from small trees, and hand pile specifications of 5-10 feet vertical height with 4'×5' or larger waxed paper covers. Piles must be located at least 15 feet from leave trees and 25 feet from roadsides, streams, wetlands, and utility infrastructure. The project encompasses approximately 1,400+ total acres across 40+ individual units with varying acreages, slope ranges, and specific operational constraints documented in the remarks column.

All Units:
• With the exception of 'leave all' species, cut all conifers that are unhealthy (e.g. <30% crown ratio, sunscalded, damaged, poor form) and those within 30' of aspen clones and healthy 7"+ DBH WP and PP
• Buck logging slash to 10' (±2') lengths for logs with large end diameter < 14" and remove thinning slash within 3' of leave trees < 7" dbh to faciliate machine piling within Post-Harvest PCT and Slashing units.
• Unhealthy overstory trees (7"+ DBH) displaying fading or sun scalded crowns, severe mistletoe, or signs of severe insect or disease should be ignored for spacing.
• Units with lop and scatter slash treatment shall have slash bucked to 5' lengths or less, slash pulled back at least 5' from Overstory (≥7" DBH) WP and PP and slash depth ≤ 18".
• Hand piles shall be 5'-10' vertically, 10' maximum horizontally, and covered with a 4'×5' or larger piece of contractor furnished slash pile paper (waxed side facing up) secured within the upper 1/3 of pile.
• Locate piles at least 15 feet from leave trees and 25 feet from roadsides, live streams/wetlands, improvements, private property, trails, existing fences or utility poles and lines or select trees.
