DUIS_Bugle Post Treatment.xlsx

The file is a detailed unit information sheet for the PCRD Bugle Post Treatment Thinning/Fuels Reduction project, prepared by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service's Prairie City Ranger District. The document outlines 12 specific treatment units (BUGLE TS UNITS 3, 4, 6, 8, 138, 139, 145, 148, 173, 266, 299) ranging from 30 to 317 acres, located in T 16S R 34E with consistent geographic and vegetation characteristics. Each unit requires thinning and/or thinning and pile treatments with specific parameters: 20x20 spacing, 0-50% slope, elevations between 5,400-6,200 feet, and targeting tree species including WP, WL, PP, DF, ES, WF, and LP.

The treatment specifications are uniform across units, with a maximum diameter at breast height (DBH) cut limit of 9", a minimum cut tree height of 12", and a consistent instruction to pull back 6' from any fences. The document includes four optional treatment areas (Units 84, 148, 173, and 299), providing flexibility in the project's scope. The primary treatment methods are thinning and thinning with grapple pile, aimed at managing forest vegetation and reducing fuel loads in the specified geographical area.
