The following fich etreoc protection prescript ions and recommendations opply bated 

 upon quality of habitat, resistance to alteration, and fish habitot management unit 

 objectives. 



X - 1, 



Directional foiling (to include lining and jacking) of timber away frcn 

 streamcourse. 



2. Split the yarding on the creek or full suspension of timber over the 

 ct reomcourse. 



_3 . No limbing of timber within or suspended over streamcourse (to include 

 windthrow). Yard timber in lengths to maximize lift. 



J> . Forty—eight hour removal .of any debris introduced into streamcourse during 

 timber harvest. 



_5 . Windthrow impacting stream course: 



* — a- All windthrow impacting atraaacourse will be left in place. 



- - b . Timber flagged with yellow ribbon or marked "leave" with blue paint 



will be left in place. All other timber will be removed in lengths to 

 maximize lift and minimize streamcourse disturbance. 



6« Time timber harvest within crown height of streamcourse to avoid adverse 



impact to salmonid redds and/or pre-emergent fry. (Optimum time for harvest 

 approximately May 15 to August 15). 



' ' 7 . Hazard (leaning) trees along streamcourse will be marked by sale 

 administrator and felled concurrent with yarding. 



___8. All trees which cannot be felled away from the streamcourGe will be left. 



X___°. Leave all nonmerchantable trees, snags, and timber lesG than 12 inches DBH 

 within 30 feet of the streamcourse if possible. 



2___10. Trees designated "leave" with blue paint or flogged with yellow ribbon will 

 not be cut. 



Additional Comments: 



Although there ore excellent spawning areas in streams 2 and 3, timing of timber 

 horvest is not necessary in this unit if adequate directional felling ic achieved. 

 Tho leave treee and the fringe of inaccessible timber along the streams will prevent 

 impacts form timber harvect.
