3. Substitute Measures

The Contracting Officer may by written notice authorize substitute measures or equipment or may waive specific requirements during periods of low fire danger.

J-4

6. Compliance with State Forest Laws

Advance written waiver of the above precautions may be issued by the Contracting Officer.

Such waiver, or substitute precautions will prescribe measures to be taken by the Contractor to reduce the risk of ignition, and/or the spread of fire. The Contracting Officer shall consider site specific weather factors, fuel conditions, and specific operations that result in less risk of fire ignition and/or spread than contemplated when precaution level was predicted.

WILDFIRE PLAN

EMERGENCY FIRE PROCEDURES

Fire suppression shall have first priority over all other activities, except safety. All Green Diamond Resource Company employees have the authority and responsibility to aggressively attack any wildfire on company land or any wildfire on adjacent ownership that may threaten company land. Immediate and aggressive initial response is crucial in limiting the size, the resource loss and the cost of fighting a fire. Company and contract logging sides, by State law and Company policy, shall stop work and furnish all the manpower and equipment needed to control a fire in their immediate vicinity.

All fires must be reported to the Department of Natural Resources within 15 minutes after discovery. Any smoke sighting on or near company lands during hazardous wildfire conditions should be investigated. If a wildfire is confirmed, call the DNR fire reporting number or contact one of the administrative persons listed below and they can assist in notifying DNR of the fire.

DNR after hours Fire Reporting Number 1-800-562-6010 Direct to Pacific Cascade Region 360-577-2025 Direct to Olympic Region 360-374-6131

If a wildfire is confirmed and you are first at the scene, an accurate location is essential, including the following information:

• Legal Description, if possible.

• Road Systems or Road Numbers and/or local name of the area

• Size up, estimate possible resources needed

Fill out the “Wildfire Information Form” attached and contact one or more of the supervisors listed on the form for assistance. Take steps to flag or otherwise mark a route to the fire for the benefit of emergency vehicles and firecrews.

Keep track of your travel time, arrival and departure time on the fire and the hours of any crew and company equipment used. If the DNR assumes control of the fire, they will release or retain your crew and equipment at their discretion. Make sure you check-out with them before leaving the scene. Supervisors will act as a liaison to handle equipment and manpower requests and influence decisions to best utilize company resources, minimize fire losses and economically control the fire.

J-10
