Symbol Method Definition. Large End Unit d.o.b. (in) Length (feet) N/A Cover “Covering Piles” All piles shall be covered with a durable waterproof covering as approved by Forest Service. The material shall be at least six feet in width. Piles shall not be less than fifty percent covered, with the covering extending not less than half way down all sides. Pieces of burnable material shall be placed on top of the durable waterproof covering to keep the covering from blowing off the pile.
Symbol Method Definition. Primary treatment shall be by Removing, Burying, Chipping, Piling, Machine Piling, or a combination of these methods unless a method is specified or prohibited on Contract Area Map. Slash larger than treatment size requirements of selected or specified methods shall be scattered outside Fuelbreak, or treated as agreed. PILING SPECIFICATIONS. All piles shall be reasonably compact and free of soil to facilitate burning and shall be constructed of such size and at such distance from trees so that burning shall not result in unnecessary damage to residual timber. Such Logging Slash shall be bucked into lengths not exceeding ten feet prior to piling. Maximum width of tractor, with brush rake attached, shall not exceed 144 inches. Machine Piling is not required on areas where use of tractors would cause undue damage to residual timber or where slopes exceed 30 percent. Piles shall be located a distance of at least twice their height in feet from the outer edge of tree crowns or snags. Piles shall be no less than four feet in height or greater than 12 feet in height. Material extending three feet or more outside the edge of a pile shall be trimmed. An eight foot fuelbreak shall be cleared of all but fine material around each Machine Pile and an 18 inch wide fireline shall be cleared to mineral soil around the outer ring of the fuelbreak. For hand piles, Contractor shall construct a fireline cleared to mineral soil and at least 3 feet wide around each pile. In areas where there is a potential for burning material to roll, firelines, including those for Machine Piles, shall be trenched on the downhill side of each pile to adequately prevent material from crossing firelines. Trenches shall be constructed by hand unless otherwise agreed. SAMPLE UNIT AND SUBDIVISION.SLASH TREATMENT SPECIFICATIONS.
Symbol Method Definition. Fire-L “Firelines” Shown on Contract Area Map and to be flagged on ground after logging by Forest Service are firelines to be constructed by Contractor unless otherwise agreed in writing. Contractor shall construct not more than N/A chains of fireline by hand and not more than N/A chains of fireline by tractor. Firelines constructed by hand shall be cleared of all vegetative debris larger than one inch in d.o.b. and three feet long. The width of firelines shall be at least N/A feet, except across the top of cutting units where the width shall be at least N/A feet. At least N/A feet shall be scraped to mineral soil. In areas where there is potential for burning material to roll, the fireline shall be constructed in a trenched manner on the downhill side. Tractor lines shall be cleared of all vegetative debris, larger than one inch in diameter and three feet long, to a width of at least N/A feet, with at least N/A feet to mineral soil. No slash, brush, or other vegetative debris shall be buried in or under berms created in the construction of firelines. All limbs overhanging into the fireline, shall be removed to a minimum height of 8 feet. Firelines shall be completed on each unit in accordance with B6.311 unless otherwise agreed in writing. In subdivisions N/A and shown on Contractor Area Map, Logging Slash shall be scattered within N/A feet slope distance of the inside edge of firelines.
