foot spacing with the best 10-30 trees per acre left to provide a seed source for natural 



regeneration. 



Hazard Reduction: Unit will be prescribed burned. Assessment for fuel loadings required to 



successfully bum unit will be accomplished after logging. Slashing of sub-merchantable 



grand fir alpine fir, Douglas-fir and lodgepole pine may be done to provide adequate fine 



fiiels. Purchaser will pile slash at landings and State crew will bum. 



Site Preparation: Unit will be prescribed burned. Unit will be assessed after logging to 

 determine appropriate slash loading. Slashing of seedlings and sapling grand fir, alpine fir 

 and Douglas-fir will occur to provide fine fuels to carry the prescribed fire. 



Regeneration: Plant partial acres of unit with western larch and white pine and rely on 

 natural regeneration in others. Exact locations will be determined after logging and 

 prescribed bum have been completed. 



Anticipated Future Treatments: 2003-2006 log, 2006 prescribe bum, 2007 plant, 2004-2008 

 Monitor area for weeds, spray as needed. 2008- 2013 Monitor success of natural 

 regeneration 



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

 with an occasional 4 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. 



Trees per acre: 86 Target trees per acre after marking: 15-30 



Leave tree selection guidelines: 



1. The healthiest 15 to 30 trees per acre with pointed full crowns and minor defects. 



Spacing on the leave trees should be 40 to 50 feet apart. 



2. Species preference: Western larch, Douglas-fir. 



3. Standing snags greater than 16". 



4. Standing cull free of insect and disease. 



5. All trees within 50 feet of stream. 



Cut tree selection guidelines: 



1. Unhealthy trees- trees infected with bark beetles or dwarf mistletoe. 



2. Intermediate & suppressed trees. 



3. Trees with more than minor defects- major crooks, sweep, multiple tops. 



4. Alpine fir. Grand fir, lodgepole pine over western larch and Douglas-fir.
