Hazard Reduction: Purchaser will be required to meet hazard reduction standards as apphed 

 under the State Fire Hazard Reduction Law. Whole tree skidding and yarding will be 

 required to reduce slash loading within unit. Purchaser will pile slash at landings and State 

 crew will bum. 



Site Preparation: None prescribed this entry. 



Regeneration: None prescribed this entry. 



Anticipated Future Treatments: 2003-2006 log, 2004-2008 Monitor area for weeds. 



Marking Guides: Using blue paint, mark unit boundary with 3 horizontal stripes interspersed 

 with an occasional 3 to identify unit number. Using blue paint, mark trees to leave with a single 

 horizontal stripe at breast height. The paint stripe shall completely encircle the tree so that (at a 

 minimum) paint marks will be seen from the uphill and downhill sides of the tree. Paint marks 

 are to be placed on the stump as well. 



Current basal area: 138. Target basal area after thinning: 60-80. 



The commercial thinning should favor the largest, healthiest trees favoring the few (healthy) 

 western larch and ponderosa pine over the Douglas-fir. In areas identified with root disease 

 (along upper road), remove all live trees that are infected with root disease and those Douglas- fir 

 along the fringe of the pocket. Removal of susceptible trees should extend approximately 50 feet 

 from the center of the root disease pocket. Unit also has SMZ harvesting. Retain all trees within 

 50 feet of sfream. 



Leave tree selection guidelines: 



1. Healthy frees free of insects and disease with pointed full crowns and minor defects. 



2. Species preference: Western larch, ponderosa pine, Douglas-fir, & lodgepole pine. 



3. Standing snags greater than 16 inches in diameter. 



4. Standing cull. 



5. All frees within 50 feet of stream. 



Cut tree selection guidelines: 



1 . Unhealthy trees - trees infected with bark beetles or root disease. 



2. Douglas-fir trees within and on the fiinges of root disease pockets. 



3. Intermediate and suppressed frees and those dominant and co-dominant trees that do not 

 meet leave tree guidelines (excess of target basal area).
