About this file

This document is an exhibit package (Exhibits B-F) for a forest health management and hazard tree mitigation project at Saddle Mountain State Natural Area, issued by the Oregon Parks and Recreation Department (OPRD). The project involves timber cutting, hauling, and rehabilitation of forest areas, with operations limited to 7 am to 5 pm Monday through Friday. The contract number is 13098, and the exhibits provide detailed specifications for operational procedures, scaling instructions, seeding and mulching requirements, timber removal exclusions, and road closure maps.

The exhibits outline specific technical requirements, including using Native Upland Grass Mix #9 for seeding at 15 lbs per acre, applying straw mulch within 24 hours of seeding, and maintaining strict environmental compliance, particularly regarding the Federal Endangered Species Act. The scaling instructions specify minimum volume requirements for timber (10 board feet for both conifer and hardwood), require pink paint branding, and provide detailed location and scaling guidelines. The road closure maps indicate specific road segments to be closed or gated, primarily along Saddle Mountain Road, to facilitate forest management activities. Sensitive and retention areas are carefully mapped to protect ecological features during the forest health management process.

(3). STATE HQ office, address and phone.

(4). Enter Purchaser's business name and address as it appears on the contract. (5).

Enter logger's or operator's name, if known.

(6) & (7). Sale name, county, and contract number.

(8). Check Westside or Eastside log scale. Cubic foot refers to Northwest Log Rules Cubic Foot Scale

(9). Oregon Forest Products Brand Registry Number (optional).

(10). Show one brand only. Complete drawing. If more than one brand is assigned to the sale: 1) Make separate form for each brand, and 2) On each form, explain and show other brand(s) under REMARKS, Item 20.

(11). Check YES if paint required, designate color.

(12). Minimum Scaling Specifications. Review Section 45 of the contract. Species, or combined species can be separate entries.

Information serves as a basis for scaling (see also Items (14) thru (18), and is required to show existence on the sale. PerM (per mbf). SUM

(lump sum material). SUB (submerchantable material). SUB, when used by STATE, refers to material containing at least 10 mbf (net) but less than the lower merchantable net volume limit of grade requirements for other merchantable (PerM) entries. PerM, SUM, and SUB must be indicated by checking the appropriate column. Species with the same specifications and value are combined into one entry. PerM and SUB require scaling; therefore, complete specifications. SUM need not be scaled, hence no specifications. Loads containing only SUM are to be ticketed, if so instructed in Item (20). Mix loads of SUM, PerM and/or SUB species will always be scaled.

(13). Special Scales. There are the Special Scales that will be applied. If "Other" is indicated, please describe. Give comments in Item (20).
