The 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 specifi- 

 cations 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 will be contained within the Timber Sale Contract. As such, they are binding and 

 enforceable. Stipulations and specifications relating to activities, such as hazard reduction, site 

 preparation, and planting, that may occur during or after the contract period will be enforced by 

 project administrators. 



The following stipulations and specifications are incorporated to mitigate effects on resources 

 involved with the action alternatives considered in this proposal. 5« 



WATERSHED AND FISHERIES t>n . 



• Planned erosion-control measures include graveling portions of roads, constructing slash-filter 

 windrows, planting grass seed, and closing and obliterating roads. Details for these control 

 measures will be included in Appendix B of the Timber Sale Agreement. 



• Streamside Management Zones (SMZs) will be delineated where they occur within or adjacent 

 to harvest areas to protect areas adjacent to streams or lakes to maintain water quality. 



• Culvert sizing for all road projects will be as recommended by the DNRC hydrologist. ^ ^ 



• Stream crossings, where culvert installations are planned, will have the following requirements, 

 as needed, to meet Best Management Practices (BMPs) and protect water quality: 





Slash-filter windrows will be constructed on the approach fills. 



Filter-fabric fences will be in place downstream prior to and during culvert installation. 



Erosion-control fences will be installed on fill slopes at crossing sites and remain in place 

 until the slopes stabilize and revegetate. 



Diversion channels will be constructed and lined with plastic to divert streamflow prior to 

 any in-channel operations. 



Except for the equipment used to construct the crossing, stream crossing with any equip- 

 ment is prohibited. The equipment used for the crossing construction will be limited to no 

 more than 2 crossings.
