Objective Elements:
Item 1 (187.5 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, 21, 150, 157, 160, 173, 174, 177, 178, 181, 184, 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).
It shall be the contractor responsibility to locate the unit boundaries, in accordance with guidelines provided by the USFS. Unit boundaries are flagged and designated by pink flagging. Additionally, fluorescent green tags designate the corner boundaries of units which are roadside.
The work to be accomplished includes cutting brush and small diameter seedling and sapling trees up to 8 inch DBH, pruning lower limbs of overstory trees, hand piling the cut material and existing dead and down woody debris, and covering of piles while maintaining an overstory of 60% canopy closer to achieve average spacing of 16 x 16 feet.
Trees less than 8 inch DBH that are desirable “leave” trees shall be selected by the Contractor as “leave” trees using the following priorities: The leave trees shall generally be those of tallest height, largest crown, and straightest boles, and that are free from damage due to insects, disease, physical and mechanical causes. Leave trees must be alive (not snags). Look up to verify trees are alive before cutting. Unit by unit species/preferred preference for leave trees will be selected by USFS inspector and the Contractor on the ground. Some examples of leave tree species are: Pacific redwood, healthy Port-orford-cedar, incense cedar, madrone, healthy sugar pine and Pacific yew.
It shall be the contractor responsibility to locate the unit boundaries, in accordance with guidelines provided by the USFS. Unit boundaries that are flagged will be designated by green and white flagging.
Cutting live trees: cutting live trees up to 4 inch DBH and all brush species, except desirable “leave” trees. All stumps of trees or brush are to be flush cut and not exceed 4 inches above ground or natural obstacles on the uphill side (no branches should be left on stumps).
Hand Piling: consists of piling all cut material and existing dead and down woody debris. Piles are to be manageable, compact for burning, and a maximum size of 6 feet wide by 6 feet in length by 5 feet in height (See attached “Figure 1” for an example). Slash that causes large air spaces in piles shall be cut to eliminate air spaces. Each pile shall include an area of small sized slash (small branches and debris less than ¾ inch in diameter and/or small branches with needles or leaves attached) to provide “kindling” for prompt ignition and to aid in combustion of larger slash. These fuels shall be placed in the bottom of the pile. All piles are to be placed perpendicular to the slope to prevent rollout and have a good base to prevent the pile from toppling. All piles generated by treatments will be placed in locations that minimize damage to overstory trees. In areas where vegetation is very thick holes in vegetation should be constructed to place piles and prevent mortality of residual trees when burned later. All cut vegetation must be placed in piles.
Covering hand piles: hand piles will be covered with black 4ml plastic or waxed paper, which will be provided by the Contractor. Plastic needs to be placed over the crown of the pile and cover a minimum of 80 percent of the pile. Limbs, rocks, or other woody debris should be placed over the pile to secure the plastic against wind events. Plastic must be placed near the top ¾ of pile, not on the bottom or middle of the pile.
5. WILDLIFE LIMITED OPERATING PERIOD (LOP):
Areas within the project boundaries may have limited operating periods (LOP’s) or other restrictions such as Project Activity Level (PAL’s) which must be adhered to by the contractor. The following two Limited Operating Periods (LOPs) will apply to the implementation of this project and may restrict operations at certain times of the year:
1. Northern Spotted Owl (NSO) – This project lies in a Critical Habitat zone for this endangered species.
No operations range between February 1 and September 15, for noise, smoke or habitat manipulation
2. Spiritual activities (S) – This project has the potential to affect nearby annual Native American ceremonial practices, so in order to avoid visual and noise disturbances, no operations range between August 15 and September 15
3.
