APPENDIX B 



STIPULATIONS AND 

 SPECIFICATIONS 



o 



1-3 



stipulations and specifications for 

 the action alternatives were 

 identified or designed to prevent or 

 reduce potential effects to 

 resources considered in this 

 analysis. In part, stipulations and 

 specifications are a direct result 

 of issue identification and resource 

 concerns. This section is organized 

 by resource . 



Stipulations and specifications that 

 apply to operations required by, and 

 occurring during, the contract 

 period would be contained within the 

 Timber Sale Contract. As such, they 

 are binding and enforceable. 

 Project administrators would enforce 

 stipulations and specifications 

 relating to activities such as 

 hazard reduction, site preparation, 

 and planting that may occur during 

 or after the contract period. 



The following stipulations and 

 specifications would be incorporated 

 into the selected action alternative 

 to mitigate potential effects on 

 resources . 



WATERSHED AND FISHERIES 



• Erosion-control measures planned 

 include: 



- grade breaks on roads, 



- surface-water-diverting 

 mechanisms on roads, 



- slash-filter windrows, and 



- grass seeding. 



Details for these control measures 

 will be included in Appendix B of 

 the Timber Sale Agreement. 



Culvert sizing for all road 

 projects will be for a 50-year- 

 flood event, as recommended by the 

 DNRC hydrologist. 



Stream crossings where culvert 

 removals and installations are 

 planned will have the following 

 requirements, as needed, to 

 protect water-quality and meet 

 BMPs: 



- Filter-fabric fences will be in 

 place downstream prior to and 

 during culvert installation. 



- Diversion channels will be 

 constructed and lined with 

 plastic to divert streamflow 

 prior to any in- channel 

 operations . 



Contract requirements for removal 

 and installation of any stream- 

 crossing structures include: 



- Crossings would be limited and 

 occur only at authorized sites. 



- All soil disturbed during 

 installation or removal of 

 bridges would be seeded with 

 quick-cover mix within 24 hours 

 of disturbance. 



Brush would be removed from 

 existing road prisms to allow 

 effective road maintenance. Road 

 maintenance would reduce sediment 

 delivery. 



The contractor would be 

 responsible for the immediate 

 cleanup of any spills (fuel, oil, 

 dirt, etc.) that may affect water 

 quality.
