This document is a forest stand assessment and pretreatment evaluation form titled "EOTW G-Z LTIRSC Pretreatment for Thinning." It is designed to collect comprehensive data on forest stands to determine suitability for thinning operations.

The form captures stand location and administrative information including Region/Forest/Proclaimed District designation (0117), stand and subunit identification, examination date, potential vegetation type, acreage, and examiner name(s). It documents site accessibility via truck, ATV only, or walk-in requirements, including distances as applicable. The assessment collects physical stand characteristics such as average tree height, average diameter at breast height (DBH), crop tree trees per acre (TPA), and total TPA. Species composition is recorded for Western Larch (WL), Ponderosa Pine (PP), Douglas Fir (DF), Western Pine (WP), Engelmann Spruce (ES), Larch Pine (LP), Grand Fir (GF), and Sub-Alpine Fir (SAF) as percentages of stand composition. The form evaluates pest and disease prevalence including mistletoe, bark beetle, gall rust, blister rust, and root rot as percentages of stand affected. Terrain data includes slope percentage, aspect, and elevation. A plot inventory table allows field-by-field documentation of five sampling plots with species identification, total TPA, average DBH, and average height measurements. The examiner provides a recommendation for treatment (YES/NO) and specifies treatment type options: PCT (pre-commercial thin), prune, or mastication. A stand map section and comments area are provided for additional site-specific documentation.
