BOUNDARIES – All boundaries are marked with black and orange stripped flagging and white tags on the corners and along roads.

The remainder of the boundaries, except Huck 26, 52, and 71, are marked with the existing timber sale boundary, which is orange paint in vertical stripes for interior and three horizontal lines on corners. Huck 26, 52, and 71 are marked entirely with black and orange stripped flagging.

All stem densities vary from dense thickets to small openings less than one acre in size. The quoter is advised to visit the work sites to determine average cut trees per acre prior to submitting a quote. The quoter is responsible for determining the amount of work.

Species abbreviations are as follows: DF = Douglas-fir, ES = Englemann Spruce, LP = Lodgepole Pine, PP = Ponderosa Pine, AF = Sub-

Alpine Fir, GF = Grand Fir, RC = Western Red Cedar, WH = Western Hemlock, WL = Western Larch, WP = Western White Pine, BC= Black Cottonwood, QA= Quaking Aspen and PB = Birch species

1/ Whipfall all live AND dead trees (greater than 1 foot tall and less than 6" DBH for LP or less than 7" DBH all other species), except for any healthy PP, WL, and WP. Also, cut all existing stumps to a height of 6 inches from the ground.

2/ Stump heights not to exceed 6 inches.

3/ Minimum required tree height for cutting is 1 Foot.

4/ Leave no cut trees hung up.

5/ Lop and scatter required when slash accumulations exceed 2 feet in depth. Slash will be cut in to lengths of 5 feet or less. Slash shall be pulled back 2 feet from unit boundaries, streams, trails and 6 feet from leave trees and fences.

6/ Retain a 10 foot to 15 foot wide live vegetation screen along roads or within the unit that disrupts viewing into unit.

7/ No Hardwoods or brush species shall be cut.

8/ Hand pile all existing slash. Piles must be located at least 6 feet from leave trees and be a minimum of 4 ft x 4 ft x 8 ft in size with waterproof paper covering to top 1/3 of pile with material placed on top to prevent loss of paper due to wind.
