E. Shop and Maintenance Areas Management 



1. Provide for waste disposal of shop debris either by using central 

 disposal area or commercial service. Burning of waste must meet 

 applicable air quality regulations. Avoid burning if possible. 



2. Provide proper container for holding all waste oil. Avoid oil 

 seepage into any water course. 



3. Do not discard old filters, grease and oil containers, etc., at 

 place of use. Return to shop for disposal. 



4. Remove worn parts and other old materials to shop for disposal. 



F. Reveqetation 



1. Vegetation adequate to protect soil is required. 



2. Utilize methods that minimize compaction and movement of topsoil 

 - if the rehabilitation is done mechanically. 



3. Rapid reforestation of harvei>ted areas is encouraged to rapidly 

 re-establish long-term protective vegetative cover on the area. 

 Short-term low vegetative cover, which does not unduly hinder the 

 establishment of trees, should be considered. 



G. Scarification and Slash Treatment 



1. Scarify only to the degree necessary to regain control of the site 

 and return it to timber production. 



2. Scarify during the dry season if possible. Be guided by the character 

 and texture of the soils in your area. Refer to any soils data 

 available. 



3. On steeper slopes, scarification should be done in a manner to keep 

 erosion to a minimum.
