1 Based on 18 belt transects 8} feet wide, each 120 chains long, making a total of 27 miles ofline. Transects 
are taken from burned areas examined on the Columbia, Rainier, Oregon, Snoqualmie, Santiam, and 
Crater National Forests. 
21 chain equals 66 feet; 80 chains equals 1 mile. 
3 A sufficient number of areas more than 52 chains from green timber were not examined in the western 
red cedar region to arrive at a fair average.
