Specifications include, but are not limited to: Harvest unit boundaries are dilineated with pink ribbon and pink with black stripes along the property boundaries. Do not cut outside of areas delineated with pink ribbon unless authorized to do so in writing by the Contract Administrator. Road locations are dilineated with light blue ribbon. Road improvement features are delineated with 2 orange ribbons on either side of the road. Notify Contract Administrator immediately if entry into a Riparian Management Zone (RMZ), Wetland Management Zone (WMZ) or Equipment Limitation Zone (ELZ) occurs outside of the Alternate Plan or designated areas. Only harvest conifer trees greater than 6” diameter at breast height (DBH) not marked with orange paint (one mark at eye level and one butt mark on the downhill side). Conifers meant to be cut that have unmerchantable butt logs (at minimum 8’ tall and not to exceed 20 DBH) are to be cut as high as the harvesting equipment can reach (at least 8’ high) and delimbed if the top log is still of merchantable value. The top log will be put in the proper sort for delivery. Do not cut snags unless they pose a threat to public safety or leaving them would be a violation of Washington State Labor and Industries (L & I) rules. Do not cut Oak species unless they pose a threat to public safety or leaving them would be a violation of Washington State Labor and Industries (L & I) rules. Type “NS” stream 30’ ELZ’s are not dileneated with ribbon. It is incumbent on equipment operators to know where these streams are located and keep equipment a minimum of 30’ away from bank full width. Type “NS” streams may be crossed with equipment, but stream crossings must be kept to a minimum and approved in writing by the Contract Administrator. Leave a minimum of 2 down logs (at least 12” in diameter at the small end) per acre except where extreme clean up unit(s) are located. Once cutting operations have concluded with Unit 7, and before equipment has been moved, an additional pre-work will be hold before operations begin in each subsequent unit group (Unit(s) 8 – Unit(s) 12). Timber that is not marked and is not a specified sort for delivery is to be thrown into a RMZ/WMZ areas where feasible. Where not feasible the timber will be put in the slash pile or the logger may remove these pieces of timber, from the project site, at their own expense. If chosen to be removed the timber will be decked and inspected prior to removal. UNITS XC01 – XC12 Extreme Clean-up No slash larger than 2 inches in diameter will remain after logging operations. Slash will be piled on or near established landing slash pile locations and shall be free from dirt. Schedule B Road Plan Narrative Pre-Haul Maintenance 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, 5A, & S2-S4 Prior to log haul, routine pre-haul maintenance shall include, but may not be limited, to the following: Spot grading and shaping of road surface and turnouts Pull in existing surface rock where available Clean culvert inlets and outlets as necessary, including existing drivable water bars and/or rolling dips Ditch clean out as necessary Brushing right of way as necessary Any spot rocking deemed necessary for log haul is the responsibility of the contractor Construction 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A, & T1 New construction roads will be required to be created for this project and shall include, but may not be limited to, the following: Grading, shaping, rolling and application of rock Culvert and ford installation in desginated locations A 12 inch left as desginated on the map. Road(s) width shall not exceed 14’ wide without written approval from the CA Post Haul Maintenance 1A, 2A, 3A, 4A & 5A Post-haul maintenance shall include, but may not be limited, to the following: Spot grading and shaping of road surface and turnouts Pull in existing surface rock where available Clean culvert inlets and outlets as necessary, including existing drivable water bars and/or rolling dips Ditch clean out as necessary Abandonment A1, A2, 2A, 3A, 4A & T1 Abandonment of all previously abandoned roads opened up for this project (required or optional) shall include, but may not be limited, to the following: Remove road shoulder berms. Earthen/debris berms shall be installed on all opened up roads identified in the Road Narrative. The locations of those berms must be pre-approved by the WDFW Contract Administrator prior to construction. Slope all trench walls and approach embankments no steeper than 2:1 Cover, concurrently with abandonment, all exposed soils within 50’ of any live stream with a 6” layer of straw Scatter woody debris onto abandoned road surfaces where appropriate (particularly where abandoned roads meet open Green Dot Roads).
