This is a Locator Map document supporting a timber sale contract opportunity issued by the Governing Board of the St. Johns River Water Management District in Florida. The map delineates the Clark Bay Conservation Area located in Volusia County, specifically within Section 24, Township 16 South, Range 30 East. The sale encompasses approximately 173.3 acres and involves a logger-select thinning operation within mature longleaf pine stands that were established in 2004. The project requires removal of every third row for access purposes, with selective thinning of remaining rows to achieve an average target density of 150 trees per acre or a basal area of 50 to 60 square feet per acre. Harvesting priorities are established hierarchically, with diseased, defective, and suppressed trees harvested first, followed by intermediate and co-dominant trees as needed to reach target density, while dominant trees are to be preserved.

The estimated timber volume conveyed through this agreement is approximately 3,518 tons of pine pulpwood and 208 tons of chip-n-saw; however, the District does not provide a volume guarantee. The sale boundaries are defined by hardwood swamps, roads, firebreaks, and distinct changes in timber type, which are illustrated on the maps included with the agreement documentation. This per-ton timber sale structure establishes the pricing mechanism for bidders competing for the contract opportunity.
