Objective Elements:

Item 1 (182 acres): Contractor will cut most hardwoods, brush and conifers less than 4” DBH (leaving residuals in an approximate 20x20 spacing) and limb residual conifer and hardwoods to shoulder height.

• Units 5, 35, 150, 157, 160, 173, 174, 177, 178, 184, 190, 193, 194, 197, 198, 209, 211, 212, 216, 225, 229, 234, 236, 237, 238

• Units 20, 159 and 192

Item 3 (4.5 acres): Contractor will cut all hardwood, brush and conifers less than 2” DBH and limb residual conifer and hardwoods to shoulder height. Pre-existing hardwood clumps should retain 1-2 residual trees if less than 2”.

• Unit 181

The following project implementation specifications shall apply to both Items #1, 2 and 3 across all units:

1. Overall objective is to perform fuels reduction of continuous vertical and horizontal fuels by thinning trees and shrubs while maintaining “preferred” small leave tree species such as sugar pine, Jeffery pine, Pacific yew, cedar and black oak. All leave trees should be living and healthy

2. Hardwoods, brush and conifers stump height no more than 4 inches from the ground as measured on the uphill side

3. All live limbs shall be completely severed from the remaining stump/bole of tree

4. Stumps shall not be cut at an acute angle

5. Limbing will be performed in such a way that no damage to bowl of limbed trees will occur

6. Slash shall not lean against or be suspended on uncut vegetation

7. Leave dead and down logs greater than 6” diameter on the larger end and buck to approximately

6’ in length (leave logs).

8. Except for leave logs, all slash, including nearby dead and down material, will be placed in manageable tight compact piles for burning (see diagram) approximately 4-5’ in diameter and no less than 3’ in height and no greater than 5’ in height.

9. Within 5 feet of each pile, all dead and down woody debris up to 6” in diameter shall be cut into approximately 4’ lengths, gathered and piled.

10. To minimize scorch, all piles should be built at least 10 feet away from boundaries, leave trees, snags, stumps or leave logs.

11. Piles should be covered with at least a 4’x 6’ piece of plastic sheeting (4 mil thick or greater) or waxed paper (waxed side up). The covering should be topped with enough woody debris to ensure cover material does not blow off.

12. No cutting or piling will occur within 50’ of Riparian Reserves (RR).
