D. The Forest Service has protocols that it must follow for the ABB beetle (ABB). Before any ground disturbance can occur in an area it must be cleared of ABB. ABB clearance can only be done during two periods and the clearance status for an area lasts only until the beginning of the next clearance period. Starting dates for the two clearance periods are June 7 and August 7. Natick Campground does not currently have ABB clearance. As a result, Notice To Proceed for this project will not be issured until after the area is cleared during the June 7 clearance period. If the contract ground disturbance work is not completed by August 7, a stop work order will be issued to stop work and contract time until the area is once again cleared of ABB.
