This document is a contract area map for the Cowboy Hat CTL IRSC (Commercial Thinning and Landscape Restoration Service Contract) within the Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit under the USDA. The map delineates five management units (7, 8, 10, 20, and 21) spanning a combined 286 acres across the Lake Tahoe Basin.

The contract involves multiple forest management requirements tailored to each unit. Unit 7 (44 acres) and Units 20 and 21 (65 acres each) require DXP (Diameter Cut), CTL (Cut-to-Length), TS (Treatment Stumps), TRAC (Ground Based Skidding), DECK (Decking), Limbing, MACH (Machine Piling), and SEPM (Special Erosion Prevention Measures). Units 8 and 10 (122 and 55 acres respectively) require HAND (Hand Treatment Only), DF (Directional Felling), and TS services. The map legend identifies specific protection measures including potential stream crossings, proposed landing locations, temporary road locations, buffer strip zones (25-foot setbacks), and various utility and ownership considerations. Treatment specifications reference ground-based skidding cut-to-length harvest systems, hand treatment operations, directional felling, treatment stumps, ground-based skidding with rubber-tired transport, decking materials, limbing operations, machine piling, scattering across 18-inch coverage, damaged/small tree removal, and erosion prevention measures not exceeding 20 acres.
