TIMBER SALE PROSPECTUS Timber Sale: Vallenar Bay SSE 1345-K Revised and Reoffered January 2019.
INTRODUCTION: This Prospectus is intended to furnish sufficient information to enable prospective bidders to decide whether further investigation of the sale is warranted. Descriptions, estimates and other information within this Prospectus are not a part of the contract unless otherwise stated. Should the Prospectus be in error or contradict the sample contract, the sample contract governs. Prospective bidders are urged to examine the timber sale and to make their own estimates. Quantities and quality of timber in the contract are not guaranteed. The sale area and sample contract should be reviewed prior to submission of a bid. The timber being offered for sale is on State Forest land managed by the Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry (DOF) and federal land managed by the United States Forest Service (USFS). The timber being sold is a mix of State and federal timber. The DOF is administering the sale of the federal timber under the Good Neighbor Agreement. The authority for the sale is Alaska Statutes, Title 38, Public Lands, Chapter 05, Alaska Land Act, Article 4, entitled "Disposal of Timber and Materials. The federal authority is from the Agricultural Act of 2014, Pub. L. 113-79, section 8206, 16 USC 2113A, (Good Neighbor Authority) and specified under the provisions of Master Good Neighbor Agreement #17-GN-11100100-004 and the Supplemental Project Agreement # 18-GN-11100552-126.
NOTE: The Vallenar Bay timber sale was appraised in August of 2018 and offered for competitive bid on September 24, 2018; no bids were received. Interviews were subsequently performed by DOF with two potential purchasers (Alcan Forest Products and Sealaska Timber Corporation) and the Alaska Forest Association. Based on the interviews and the audit of the record by staff, the timber cruise and projected operational costs were revised, and the sale was reappraised to reflect the market environment. A summary of the work is represented in the December 17, 2018 memo to the file and is attached at the end of this prospectus.
LOCATION AND AREA: The project area is on the north end of Gravina Island (See Attachment A). Vallenar Bay is approximately five miles west of the Ketchikan International Airport and is viewable on USGS quadrangle Ketchikan B-6. The road corridor and timber sale encompass State, federal and Ketchikan Gateway Borough land in Sections 5, 6 and 8 of T75S, R90E; Sections 35 and 36 of T74S, R89 E; Sections 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 23, 24 and 30 of T75S, R89E all within Copper River Meridian (CRM).

In this area, the Division of Forestry is offering ten clear-cut units composed of approximately 481 acres. The units are shown on the attached Sale Area Map and are designated on the ground by the State with pink “timber harvest boundary” flagging. Federal units are additionally marked with orange paint and orange tags. Units 10 and 12 contain timber retention areas adjacent to Class III streams within the units; trees have been marked within these areas for retention with orange paint. Acreage for the units is based on GPS traverses using a GIS grade receiver that was post processed. The proposed sale is situated on uplands approximately 100 to 1,100 feet above sea level. The terrain is varied and generally less than 65% slopes. There are several units containing rock bluffs and steep hillsides with sections over 65%. The harvest units may be harvested using a combination of ground based systems (shovels) and cable logging systems. Several of the units are adjacent to an existing remote residential area; timber retention and yarding constraints have been designated on the ground and in the Forest Land Use Plan (FLUP) for these areas. The FLUP can be accessed at: https://aws.state.ak.us/OnlinePublicNotices/Notices/View.aspx?id=190951 The supporting USFS documents can be accessed at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/project/?project=51766
VOLUME AND DESCRIPTION OF TIMBER: The timber being offered is a mix of old growth and approximately 65-year-old young growth timber. The timber sale was cruised in the fall of 2017 and summer of 2018 by the Division of Forestry using the Atterbury Cruise System. The sale information and volumes represented in this document and the reports are estimates only. Note: The contract differentiates “saw log” from “timber”. “Merchantable saw log,” grade is considered a No. 4 or better saw log. The minimum merchantable saw log dimensions for the purpose of this contract is 24 feet long plus trim, at least 6 inches in diameter inside the bark at the small end with at least 50% net scale according to the Official Rules of the Log Scaling & Grading Bureaus developed and authored by The Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group. The total estimated merchantable “timber” volume from in this sale consists of approximately: Ownership Species/ Type Volume (MBF) Net +Net
Utility USFS Young Growth Sitka Spruce 2,224 USFS Young Growth Hemlock 399 USFS Red Alder 99 USFS Small saw log and utility 112

*MBF= one thousand board feet Scribner log scale. The timber sale cruise report which contains the State’s estimate of timber type, quantity, and quality for this sale, in addition to the sort and grade parameters which were applied during the cruise, is attached to this prospectus as Attachment B. Logs not meeting the sort parameters for a saw log sort have been represented in the pulp sort (small log and utility). Obvious standing culls were not cruised. The decked timber in the sale area associated with the previous DOF road construction activity is considered part of the timber sale and is required to be removed if it meets the above requirements for log merchantability. The DOF reduced the unit areas listed in the FLUP by the estimated width of the cleared area associated with the existing road for the purpose of applying the cruise plot information to the sale area. The old growth area of sale was cruised after the Vallenar Road was built. The young growth area of the sale was cruised prior to the road construction. Existing decked timber on the road within the sale area on State Forest land was not inventoried or specifically estimated by the cruise. This may influence how interested parties use the cruise information; purchasers are advised to make their own determination of the timber sale volume. The purchaser is required to yard all merchantable timber. Only merchantable saw logs of Sitka spruce, western hemlock, western red cedar and yellow cedar are required to be removed from the sale area. Merchantable timber not meeting the merchantable saw log requirements that is hauled off the sale area shall be accounted for in scale and paid for at the utility rate. The red alder saw log volume is an optional removal; if the Purchaser removes the red alder saw log volume from the sale area, it shall be scaled and paid for at the rate bid for the species.
ACCESS: The sale is accessed by the newly constructed Vallenar Bay Road on Gravina Island. From the old Lewis Reef saw mill log transfer facility (LTF) also known as the Gravina Island Industrial Complex (GIIC). The sale area start is approximately 4 miles from the GIIC on the Vallenar Bay Road. Access to the GIIC for general inspection is via the Ketchikan International Airport’s ferry and the connecting road system. The existing road accesses the majority of the sale area. Approximately 2.25 miles of new road is required to be constructed on State Forest land and 1.1 miles of FDR 8110 is needing to be reconstructed on USFS land. Closure of 3.6 miles of state
Vallenar Timber Sale Prospectus Page 6 of 16

and federal road is required. Maintenance to the Alaska Forest and Resources Practices Act (FRPA) and Regulations is required on all the roads used within the GIIC, the Vallenar Bay Road, FDR 8110, and all other constructed or road associated with the commercial forest operations on this sale. Other roads on the island are not maintained. Construction materials such as rock, timber and stockpiled culvert on State land shall only be used on State or federal land on Gravina Island. The development or expansion of rock sources used on the timber sale or Vallenar Road requires preapproval of the DOF. Road use agreements required by the USFS and the Ketchikan Gateway Borough (KGB) between the sale area and the GIIC have been satisfied by the State. All other agreements that may be required are the responsibility of the Purchaser. The DOF has a use agreement in place with the KGB (the manager of the GIIC) for the permitted LTF. The GIIC use agreement associated with the LTF established the fair-market use fee for a portion of the facility projected to be needed for the sale and the general terms of use acceptable to the KGB and the DOF. Actual use of the facility by the Purchaser requires the Purchaser to obtain a separate and specific authorization in the form of a permit, lease, or agreement with the KGB through the Airport Manager’s office as well as any Army Corps of Engineers (ACOE) and Alaska Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (APDES) authorization the purchaser’s operation requires to legally operate. The Purchaser is responsible for payment of the LTF use fee to the KGB. The use of facilities on Gravina Island other than in the sale area or the Vallenar Road requires a signed use agreement, or permit, or lease as is appropriate by the authority prior to the DOF review of the operating plan and start of operations. Purchaser shall adhere to all stipulations contained within all authorizations for the facility(s) and roads, provide the DOF with copies of all pertinent information necessary for required reporting, and cover the cost of all related fees and expenses.

Vallenar Bay Timber Sale Cruise Report Revised: November 2018
This report is a compilation of information summarizing the estimation of timber volume and quality in the Good Neighbor Authority Vallenar Bay Timber Sale on State and Federal land on Gravina Island near Ketchikan, Alaska. Two age classes were sampled and are represented in the sale area: Old Growth and Young Growth. In a small portion of the sale area the age classes are intermixed; the extent of this mixing was considered minor, the dominate characteristic of a given stand controlled how it was described in this report as far as age. For the purpose of this report, young growth is associated with potentially merchantable timber that is generally less than 70 years old. The balance of the other timber described and cruised is considered old growth. The valley was logged generally on its eastern side in the mid 1950’s; the young growth stands are a product of the activity. Residual old growth areas on the west side of the valley and adjacent to the young growth on the east side.
DOF Vallenar Old Growth Timber Cruise Sample Type/ Frequency The units were cruised during the summer of 2018 by DOF using a variable plot cruise sampling method based on an unbiased grid system. The grid was spaced on 2 x 5 chains representing one acre per cruise plot in Units 3, 4, and 5 and on 3 X 3 chain spacing, yielding 0.9 acres per plot in Unit 1 (The DOF dropped 17 of the original 64 plots in this unit in the reappraisal process due to recording errors; this has led to portions of the unit not being represented in the sample). This combined sampling produced 175 cruise plots over 206 acres. The Atterbury Cruise Program was used to manage the data. A basal area factor of 40 BAF at 16 feet above projected stump height was used to sample trees. Obvious cull trees were not recorded. This obtained an average of 4.2 trees per plot overall.
Min. Size/ Sorts/ Specifications. Only trees containing a minimum merchantable saw log were sampled. Diameters measuring under 10 inches at four feet above stump height were categorically not recorded. Sorts were developed based on perceived industry markets. See attached ADNR-DOF Old Growth and Second Growth Sort Guidelines for Southeast Alaska. Log grades were determined using Official Log Scaling and Grading Rules for the Pacific Northwest as applied and accepted in the Southeast Alaska region. Logs not meeting DOF saw log sorts were recorded as pulp logs with the minimum size being a #4 saw log; utility logs (having 50% sound usable chips).
Acreage Cruised acreage was determined using ArcGIS, based off points collected along the harvest unit line using a GIS grade GPS receiver that was restricted to sampling positions when theoretical post processed accuracy was calculated to be less than 10 feet. GPS data was post processed. ArcGIS calculated there to be 216 acres, 10 acres were subtracted from the GIS acreage to compensate for the existing cleared ROW of the road to produce an estimated 206 acres of standing timber used in the Atterbury Cruise Program to determine project volumes.
Stratification Due to variability across the proposed harvest area, acreage was stratified by timber type.
Vallenar Timber Cruise Page 4 of 9
Unit 1A was divided into two types: red cedar/ hemlock (Type 9901) and red cedar (Type 9906). Units 1B, 1C, and 1D all were stratified into the red cedar Type 9906.
The old growth units on the on the east side of the Vallenar valley are stratified into two types: Hemlock (Type 9933) and Spruce/Hemlock (Type 9944). Type 9933 is generally in the pass area and above the upper slope break in Units 3, 4, and 5. It is comprised primarily of lower grade hemlock with red cedar and spruce present. All of Unit 5 was stratified into Type 9933. Type 9944 is primarily the steep hill side in Unit 3 and 4. This type has a higher composition of large-diameter spruce with hemlock and some red cedar.
DOF Vallenar Second Growth Timber Cruise Sample Type/ Frequency The proposed stand was cruised by DOF staff during the fall of 2017 using an unbiased grid system with 2.5 x 5 chain spacing representing 1.25 acres per cruise plot. This layout produced 162 cruise plots over 202 acres. A variable plot cruise based on the Atterbury Cruise Program was used to manage the data. A basal area factor of 40 BAF was used to sample trees. Due to an error in communication, one cruiser used 16 feet and the other used 4 feet above the projected stump height to determine sampled trees. The Atterbury program accounted for this difference in sample method. All trees were measured, no count plots were taken. Obvious cull trees were not recorded. This obtained an average of 5.6 trees per plot.
Min. Size/ Sorts/ Specifications Only trees meeting minimum saw log specifications were sampled. Recorded diameters were measured at four feet above stump height. Sorts were based on perceived industry export markets. Merchantable young growth spruce and hemlock were divided into four sorts: Oversize, Standard, Gang, and Chip and Saw. Merchantable alders of saw log quality were lumped into a camp run sort for all saw logs. Alder logs had to be a minimum of 8 inches in diameter and 24 feet in length. See attached ADNR-DOF Second Growth Sort Guidelines for Southeast Alaska. Log grades were determined using Official Log Scaling and Grading Rules for the Pacific Northwest using the Scribner scale rules applied and accepted in the Southeast Alaska region. Logs not meeting DOF saw log sorts were recorded as pulp logs with the minimum size being a #4 saw log or a utility log (50% having sound usable chips).
Note: Old growth sorts were recorded in several plots and are represented in the report.
Acreage Cruised acreage was determined using ArcGIS, based off points collected along the harvest unit line using a GIS grade GPS receiver that was restricted to sampling positions when theoretical post processed accuracy was calculated to be less than 10 feet. GPS data was post processed. ArcGIS calculated there to be 207 acres. To compensate for the existing cleared ROW of the road, 5 acres were subtracted from the GIS acreage to produce 202 acres used in the Atterbury Cruise Program to estimate project volumes.

USFS GNA Vallenar Timber Cruise Sample Type/ Frequency The stand was cruised during the summer of 2018 by DOF using a variable plot cruise sampled on an unbiased grid system with 2 x 5 chain spacing representing one acre per cruise plot. This layout produced 72 cruise plots over 73 acres. The Atterbury Cruise Program was used to manage the data. A basal area factor of 40 BAF was used to sample trees. Sample trees were determined in or out at 16 feet. Cull trees were not recorded. This obtained an average of 5.5 trees per plot.
Min. Size/ Sorts/ Spec. Only trees meeting minimum saw log specifications were sampled. Diameters measuring under 10 inches at four feet above stump height were not recorded. Sorts were developed based on perceived industry markets. Merchantable young growth spruce and hemlock generally fell into four sorts: Oversize, Standard, Gang, and Chip and Saw. Merchantable alders of saw log quality were lumped into a camp run sort of all saw logs. Alder logs had to be a minimum of 8 inches in diameter and 24 feet in length. See attached ADNR-DOF Second Growth Sort Guidelines for Southeast Alaska. Log grades were determined using Official Log Scaling and Grading Rules of the Pacific Northwest using the Scribner scale rules applied and accepted in the Southeast Alaska region. Logs not meeting DOF saw log sorts were recorded as pulp logs with the minimum size being a #4 saw log or a utility log (50% having sound usable chips).
Acreage Cruised acreage was determined using ArcGIS, based off points collected along the harvest unit line using a GIS grade GPS receiver that was restricted to sampling positions when theoretical post processed accuracy was calculated to be less than 10 feet. Positions were post processed.
Retention Along Streams Retention trees along Class 3 streams in Unit 10 and Unit 12 were selected and painted by Brock Martin (USFS). Greg Staunton (DOF) recorded species and diameters of selected retention trees. Board foot volumes of retention trees were calculated using stand table summary produced from the timber cruise. Total board foot volumes for the proposed harvest area were calculated by subtracting the retention volume from the total net MBF.

Area Forester
DATE: December 17, 2018 FILE: Vallenar Bay SE-1345K PHONE: 225-3070 SUBJECT: Timber Sale Reappraisal
The Vallenar Bay timber sale was appraised in August of 2018 and offered for competitive bid on September 24, 2018 with a minimum acceptable bid listed at $3,217,708.00; no bids were received. The DOF assumed that the sale would be marketed predominately into the export log market due to location and type of timber. Interviews were subsequently performed by DOF with two potential purchasers (Alcan and Sealaska Timber Corporation) and the Alaska Forest Association. Based on the interviews and the audit of the record by staff, the cruise and projected operational costs were revised, and the sale was reappraised to reflect the market environment. The following main topics were given note in the interviews and were clarified or changed:
1. Log sorts. Several observers commented on the applicability of the DOF sorts. Note: Grades are established terms used by the Pacific Northwest Log Scaling Bureaus and are considered universal for the discussion of wood characteristics that lead to historical lumber and fiber recovery. They are not detailed enough though to capture the market differences in the domestic or export market. Consequently, industry delineates characteristics and quality using sorts. The DOF used observation of historic export log prices based on sorts to form the average log values applied in the appraisal. Log sorts are criteria used to delineate log quality into market categories based on appearance characteristics. Export sorts have similar grouping from one log purchaser to another in a region yet are driven by proprietary market information and influence which presents ambiguity to the process of using them to value standing timber. Old Growth Sorts The DOF sorts used to cruise the old growth (OG) by DOF, though more detailed than log grades, are still a generic allocation of defining features. The DOF sorts have been widely applied for the past 20 years in both the export and domestic market; although they are generally more applicable to the domestic market. Detail (ring count, out of round, tolerable defect, etc.) not necessarily apparent when the tree is on the stump, delineates the different export sort categories and in particular the higher-grade sorts. Some of these indicators can be inferred by experienced cruisers but not necessarily defined well until the log is in the sort yard. Export markets are quite demanding in detail for the higher quality sorts and pay notably higher prices in general than domestic markets for similar wood. It was observed by the two potential purchasers, that the DOF high grade and red sorts are too broad to capture the market peculiarities. Based on this, the DOF subsequently has adjusted significant portions of the volume within the original cruise in these sorts (grades #1, #2 and special mill) down one sort to account for the risk that they do not all meet the requirements of the market;
Vallenar Reappraisal December 17, 2018 Page 2 of 2
Obvious higher grades (Selects and Peelers) generally remain within the high-grade portion of the cruise. The applicability of obtaining a higher sort in the second log and the appropriate length of the first log were likewise edited to reflect what the experienced staff and the industry observed in the stand. High grade logs that were recorded with a notable defect or distortion were generally reallocated to the Shop sort. These collective adjustments regarding the reallocation of logs in the sorts is the most significant economic influence on the re-appraisal. Young Growth Sorts: The young growth (YG) in southeast and specifically at Vallenar is projected to be an export market. The log sorts applied to the YG wood are based on the export market. Price allocation has less variation between sorts than the OG and driven primarily by diameter size class and typically further constrained by log length within the lots sold. The DOF has not modified this part of the original cruise.
2. Volume: One potential purchaser considered the volume per acre high in both the OG and the YG. Old Growth: The volume was stratified by type in the August cruise report to represent the location of the different timber types observed by DOF in the OG units. The stratification of the timber types was in response to the varying types as well as volumes observed. Three of the four types were edited during the reevaluation of the timber and yielded slightly different volume estimates for the timber. Most of the change is attributable to edits in log lengths and applied defect. In Unit 1 approximately 17 out of the original 64 cruise plots were dropped due to confidence of the data; the DOF elected to not re-cruise these plots. The edits to the cruise data mainly redistributed volume within the sorts but did decrease the net OG volume by several percentage points. Young Growth: The young growth cruise volume reported per acre is higher than what has been observed elsewhere in SE. Observation by DOF supports a relatively high volume per acre based on the residual OG and the stump evidence of the previous harvest. The DOF cruised the YG timber based on sorts being merchandized in SE. Cruisers were instructed to favor volume in bucking but not at the expense of an acceptable log length average; this may not be what a purchaser chooses. Volume in this type of timber is susceptible to the perspective of both operational influences (trained operators, etc.) and market forces (short or small diameter market limitations) that tend to diminish recovered volume but not necessarily revenue. Because the sale is a scaled sale, the DOF has not adjusted the estimated volume.
3. Defect associated with hemlock fluting in the YG was cited as a potential risk to recovery. Fluting was considered a defect by DOF cruisers when within the cruise cylinder.
4. Purchasers inquired on the type of operating costs that had been applied to the appraisal. Costs are subject to a purchaser’s method and means of operation. Costs associated with the sortyard operation were of specific interest due to scaling fees, capital costs of starting operations in a yard that has been idle for 10 years, permitting and installing a rafting ground and the burden of financially
Vallenar Reappraisal December 17, 2018 Page 2 of 2
equipping and staffing a sortyard for a period potentially less than one season. The DOF has accounted for projected costs in these subjects and further refined some of them in the second appraisal.
5. Comment was made that the market is correcting itself from a relatively high point in its history with
the China market dropping significantly due to uncertainty and the cedar market pulling back as well due to competing imports. The purpose of the appraisal is to establish the fair market value of the sale per 11 AAC71.092. The August appraisal yielded a fair market or minimum price acceptable to the State as the midpoint of the observed price range for the timber. The timber sale is composed of a variety of timber types that have different optimum markets conditions. These markets are related in the sense of an overall world economy, but they do historically vary from one another in timing of demand and price. What may be the bottom or top for one market may not coincide with the same point for another species, log sort or duration. It could be viewed as optimistic or pessimistic to pick the midpoint value on all log sorts. It is recognized that the purchaser has limits in the market once a sale is operational due to the perishability of the log and fixed costs; they cannot always wait for markets to correct. The DOF observed that the market in August was at a relatively high point for white wood and slightly above average for red cedar. The use of a midpoint price for all log values was determined a reasonable fair market value at the time to accommodate an overall likely downward market potential. The DOF tempered the original log values with the observed trends in the second appraisal.
6. The China tariffs. Tariffs imposed by China were being discussed by the purchasers as a possibility at the time of the initial timber sale and were imposed by the bid date at a rate of 10% for the spruce and 5% for hemlock delivered to the dock in China. The YG is projected to be sold into that market and accounts for over 55% of the volume in the sale. Tariffs were not considered a cost in the original appraisal. The DOF has subsequently observed that the tariff is influencing the market. The tariff is viewed as a potential positive or negative risk depending on its duration and how it is accounted. In the revised appraisal, the DOF reflected it as a negative risk on the logs that are being marketed into China, not a defined cost. The DOF has allocated a different profit and risk percentage rate for those sorts in the revised appraisal. The DOF assumed the cost of any tariff would be shared between the purchaser and the end market. With the advent of imposed tariffs, confidence in the YG market has been tempered in conversations with purchasers which also bears on the application of a higher risk for that type of wood.

If deductions are made for rot, check or other defects resulting from PURCHASER delays in scaling exceeding ninety (90) days, Stumpage Fees shall be paid to the STATE as if the rot, check or other defect was not present. (2) Scaling Rules. Scaling will be performed using the Scribner Log Rule in accordance with the “Official Log Scaling and Grading Rules” of the Log Scaling and Grading Bureaus as developed and authored by the Northwest Log Rules Advisory Group, and by a recognized third party scaling and grading bureau, or methodology agreed to by the PURCHASER and the STATE. PURCHASER shall contract for and provide the STATE with written evidence of such scaling arrangements before any Merchantable Timber is felled within the Timber Sale Area and a copy of the contract shall be provided to the STATE prior to commencement of Timber Operations. (3) Cost of Scaling and Delivery of Scale Documents. PURCHASER shall pay the cost of scaling, and instruct the third-party scaler to provide copies of the daily scale tickets that identify individual loads of logs and weekly scale summary sheets to the STATE and PURCHASER within one (1) week after scaling. PURCHASER shall also instruct the third-party scaler to provide copies of scale summary sheets for every four (4) week period on a calendar month basis to the STATE and PURCHASER within ten (10) business days of the end of each calendar month. Summary scale sheets shall include gross and net volumes by species, sort and grade, subtotaled for each Timber Harvest Unit within the Timber Sale Area. Within thirty (30) days of completion of scaling for a calendar year, PURCHASER shall deliver to the STATE a certified annual scaling summary of the total gross and net Sawlog and Utility Log volumes by species, sort and grade, by Timber Harvest Unit. B. Check Scale. Upon the request of the STATE or PURCHASER, a check scale may be made to determine the accuracy of the original scale. PURCHASER agrees to make logs available for check scaling at reasonable locations designated by the STATE. The STATE agrees to carry out check scaling promptly so as not to unreasonably delay log transfer, rafting, towing, and loading operations. If the difference in scale is less than five percent (5%), then the cost of rescale shall be paid by the STATE. If the check scale exceeds the original scale by five percent (5%), the original scaled volume shall be adjusted by the difference between the check scale and original scale, and the cost of the check scale shall be paid by the PURCHASER.
C. Branding and Painting Logs. Before being removed from the Timber Sale Area, all logs shall be hammer branded on one end with a log brand registered with the State of Alaska Department of Natural Resources, Division of Forestry. PURCHASER is responsible for registering such brands with
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 8
the Division of Forestry. PURCHASER shall also paint one end of each log with a color designated by the STATE, if there are logs being scaled at the same location from property not owned by the STATE. D. Truck Trip Tickets. Each load of logs shall be identified by a unique three (3) part truck trip ticket, one part affixed to the load, one part to the STATE (to be attached to the scale ticket and delivered to the STATE on a weekly basis), and one remaining in the book. Unless requested by the STATE, truck trip ticket books shall be retained by PURCHASER for the Term of this Contract. Truck trip tickets shall include date, logger’s name, truck driver’s name, Timber Harvest Unit, brand, destination and log or piece count by species. Truck trip tickets shall be numbered sequentially and numbers shall not be duplicated. PURCHASER shall provide the STATE with the series of book and ticket numbers assigned to this Contract, and shall account for any gaps in the series of numbers when the truck trip tickets are provided to the STATE. E. Barge and Raft Tickets. In the event that the logs are not scaled on Gravina Island, the PURCHASER shall submit and conform to a STATE approved marine transportation accountability plan. 10. TIMBER OPERATIONS
A. Operating Plan Requirements. Unless otherwise provided for, PURCHASER shall be responsible for performing based on existing road and unit layout and design as depicted in the FLUP and on the USFS Unit Maps. PURCHASER must do so in strict compliance with applicable Laws, the FLUP and the approved Timber Sale Operating Plan. The PURCHASER must prepare and submit to the STATE prior to the start of operations, a written Timber Sale Operating Plan meeting the requirements of Exhibit C and providing for the orderly and progressive development of all operations necessary to complete this contract. The Timber Sale Operating Plan is ineffective until it is APPROVED by the STATE, which must occur prior to the start of operations. Operating without a designated representative on site, or an approved logging plan is grounds for suspension. This plan must be updated whenever there is a significant change in the PURCHASER’S operation. Significant is defined as a change to an item required in the operating plan as portrayed by the requirements listed in Exhibit D. B. Timber Utilization Standards. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the STATE and PURCHASER, PURCHASER must conduct its Timber Operations in accordance with the following Utilization Standards:
(1) PURCHASER must harvest Timber in such a manner as will ensure that all the Merchantable Timber designated for harvest within the Timber Sale Area is utilized; (2) Except as otherwise set forth below, PURCHASER must ensure that stumps left after logging are cut as low to the ground as practicable, and in any event are not higher than eighteen (18) inches above the ground on the side of the stump where the elevation of the ground is the highest unless determined as unsafe to workers or otherwise directed by the STATE. High stumps must be paid for by the PURCHASER at the rate of $5.00 per stump, which sum shall be regarded as fixed, agreed, and liquidated damages; (3) PURCHASER must vary log lengths to provide for as complete a utilization of all the Merchantable Timber in the Timber Sale Area as is practicable; and (4) The STATE shall have the right to require PURCHASER to remove unyarded Merchantable Timber that has been left on the ground from the Timber Sale Area; (5) The PURCHASER shall have the option to leave red alder saw logs and utility logs decked at the landings on this sale or remove them from the sale area at the PURCHASER’s discretion during the time of this Contract. At no time may these saw logs or utility decks obstruct the STATE’s future use of the land. Under no circumstances may a log deck be left for any significant time or at the end of sale so as to obstruct or hinder water quality. Title remains with the State or the USFS until logs are removed from respective lands in the Sale Area.
C. Slash Disposal. PURCHASER must comply with all applicable Laws relating to the disposal or accumulation of slash and with the conditions set forth in Exhibit C.
D. Reforestation. The parties anticipate that reforestation requirements will be met through natural regeneration. Except as provided in Exhibit C (Logging Requirements), the STATE and the
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 9
USFS are responsible for all reforestation obligations on their lands required under applicable Laws. PURCHASER must take reasonable actions to facilitate natural regeneration, as described in the approved Operating Plan. Notwithstanding any of the above, PURCHASER is responsible for reforestation of areas where PURCHASER’s Timber Operations have materially damaged or impeded an area’s ability to naturally regenerate.
E. Roads. PURCHASER must, at its cost, construct, reconstruct, and improve roads in accordance with applicable laws, the FLUP, the approved Operating Plan and the Road Construction and Maintenance Requirements in Exhibit E. It is the responsibility of the PURCHASER to enter into agreements with adjoining land owners as to any shared use maintenance requirements, or fees, paid by PURCHASER on roads owned or maintained by other entities, including, but not limited to private, federal, state and local landowners or administrators. PURCHASER must obtain all necessary road use permits, agreements and approvals prior to commencing operations. All borrow and waste areas utilized in the construction or maintenance of the roads and facilities by the PURCHASER require the submittal of development plans and approval by the State prior to development. The location and construction of all landings must be submitted to and approved by the State prior to use and construction by the PURCHASER unless they are already identified on the approved timber sale unit maps. The PURCHASER is responsible for all repairs and mitigation deemed necessary by the State due to unauthorized roads and landings. PURCHASER must additionally pay stipulated damages of $1,000.00 USD for each unauthorized construction development. This provision does not supersede any applicable penalties under the FRPA (AS 41.17, 11 AAC 95).
F. Maintenance. During the Term of this Contract, PURCHASER, at its cost, must maintain the Timber Sale Area, Roads and Related Transportation Facilities, Sortyards, LTFs and all other improvements used by PURCHASER in connection with this Contract, in a clean, sanitary and safe condition and in accordance with applicable Laws, the approved Operating Plan, and the provisions of this Contract. PURCHASER may share maintenance obligations with other Authorized Users of the Timber Sale Area, subject to the terms and conditions of joint use agreements that are approved in writing by the STATE. Cleanup measures and other maintenance must be kept reasonably current with timber harvest operations. The purchaser will be responsible to comply with any road use agreements between the various parties which own or manage roads that are required to be used to access this sale. The purchaser will be responsible for a minimum commensurate maintenance associated with hauling during the term of this sale.
G. Fire. The PURCHASER must take all necessary precautions for the prevention of forest fires and shall be responsible for the suppression costs of any and all destructive or uncontrolled fires occurring within or without the contract area resulting from any and all operations involved in the removal of the timber under the provisions of this contract. AS 41.15.050 established the fire season from April 1 - September 30, inclusive, during each year. AS 41.15.080 requires every person owning or operating a sawmill or logging camp or other commercial plant or operation on forested lands to post and keep displayed at all times in a conspicuous place upon the building or ground of the milling, logging, or commercial operation a copy of AS 41.15.050-080 and AS 41.15.140.
(1) Prevention and Suppression. During the Term of this Contract, PURCHASER must make every effort to prevent and suppress fires within the Timber Sale Area. Unless otherwise required herein, or prevented by circumstances, over which PURCHASER has no control, PURCHASER must place its equipment, employees, contractors, and employees of contractors at the disposal of any authorized government employee for the purpose of fighting forest fires within or near the Timber Sale Area. (2) Presence of Fire Equipment. PURCHASER must ensure that both the road building crew and logging crews have adequate firefighting equipment and training for use on site when operating in the Timber Sale Area, pursuant to the approved Operating Plan. In the event of “extreme fire danger,” PURCHASER must maintain a fire watch at the active
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 10
Timber Operation areas for a minimum of one hour after work has stopped for the day, unless the STATE suspends Timber Operations until the fire danger is reduced. (3) Reporting. PURCHASER must report all fires to the United States Forest Service and the Alaska Division of Forestry in Ketchikan at (907) 225-3070 immediately after becoming aware of a fire or imminent threat of fire.
H. Timber Trespass. Unless otherwise agreed, PURCHASER may not fell or damage any tree not within the boundary of the Timber Sale Area. PURCHASER shall be liable for all trespass damages and must properly locate its operations within the Timber Sale Area. In the event of trespass damage to State timber outside of the Timber Sale Area, the STATE will appraise the damage and assess PURCHASER the cost of such appraisal plus treble damages (triple stumpage), at the sole discretion of the STATE. This provision does not supersede any applicable penalties associated with the Alaska Forest Resources and Practices Act (AFR&PA) under AS 41.17, 11 AAC 95, nor does it supersede any remedies other landowners may have under applicable laws.
I. STATE Inspections. The STATE and its representatives, shall at all times have access to observe and inspect the Timber Operations of PURCHASER and must be furnished such information, documentation and assistance by PURCHASER as may be reasonably requested by the STATE for the purpose of ensuring compliance with this Contract and applicable Laws. PURCHASER must complete additional work as requested by the STATE, consistent with the approved Operating Plan and requirements of this Contract.
J. Emergency Repairs by the STATE. In the event PURCHASER refuses to make a repair of an emergency nature to improvements or structures in the Timber Sale Area after requested to do so by the STATE or regulatory agency, except when these emergency repairs result from the gross negligence of STATE, the STATE shall be entitled to make the repairs and bill PURCHASER for the actual cost of making such repairs. Emergency repair of improvements or the sale area necessary to keep the PURCHASER in compliance with federal, State, and local laws and regulations is the PURCHASER’S responsibility. If the emergency repairs are not required by law or in this contract, the State will reimburse the purchaser for the cost of repairs. All emergency work covered by this contract must be authorized in writing by the STATE prior to commencing unless prevailing conditions will cause imminent and significant irreparable damage to the State’s resources. K. Facilities Construction. Any improvements or transportation facilities, including sawmills, buildings, bridges, roads, etc., constructed by the PURCHASER in connection with this sale and within the sale area or on other State land leased for the purpose, must be done in accordance with standard or special plans approved by the STATE. Bonding may be required on each improvement. The STATE neither expressly nor implicitly warrants its improvement estimates. Estimates will be made for the sole purpose of establishing the minimum bid, and are not to be used for other purposes.
L. Use of Timber Sale Area. The PURCHASER may only use the Timber Sale Area for actions related to the harvest of Merchantable Timber. The Timber Sale Area may not be used for any other commercial purpose. Existing facilities owned by the STATE in the sale area, including but not limited to roads, bridges, gates, culverts, and signs may be used by the PURCHASER in connection with this sale without further approval unless such use is limited or prevented elsewhere in this contract. Existing improvements used by the PURCHASER must be kept in good repair by the PURCHASER.
M. Fish Spawning Waters. All operations in connection with this contract adjacent to lakes, streams, or important fish waters must be conducted so as to avoid stream silting and must not interfere with the passage of fish or injure the spawning grounds, in accordance with AS 41.14.
N. USFS Streamcourse Protection. Streamcourses which are subject to this provision include 3 categories:
1. Class I streams and Class II streams which flow directly into Class I streams. 2. Class II streams which do not flow directly into Class I streams, and Class III streams having characteristics of instability and sediment production. 3. Other Streams and V notches designated for soil and water quality protection. Streamcourses that are in the categories of a, b, and c are designated by Forest Service, shown on Sale Area Map and marked on the ground in conjunction with marking of units and related roads.
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 11
Purchaser's operations shall be conducted according to Best Management Practices as shown in Forest Service Handbook 2509.22. The following measures shall be observed to protect Streamcourses.
a. Class I streams and Class II streams that flow directly into a Class I streams are marked with blue and white striped flagging and will be protected in the following manner: Timber harvest units shall not be within a minimum buffer zone of 100 feet (30 meters) on either side of Class I streams and Class II stream which flow directly into Class I streams. Prior to any operations within a buffer zone of 100 feet (30 meters), a Streamcourse Protection Plan will be developed for that buffer zone. This plan will specify which timber, if any, may be removed within the buffer zone and become Included Timber. Except as provided in the Streamcourse Protection Plan developed herein there will be no yarding corridors, tailholds, temporary road crossings or logging activity within the buffer designated on either side of a Streamcourse.
b. Class II streams which do not flow directly into Class I streams, and Class III streams having characteristics of instability and sediment production are marked with orange and white striped flagging and will be protected in the following manner unless agreed otherwise in writing: Trees shall be felled in such a manner so that the direction of fall is away from Streamcourses. These trees may be wedged, jacked, lined, or otherwise pulled when necessary to meet this requirement. Unless the STATE provides a written waiver, felled trees that inadvertently enter or cross Streamcourses shall not be bucked or limbed until clear of Streamcourses unless limbing or bucking would reduce damage to the riparian vegetation or stream banks. Trees or products shall not be hauled or yarded across Streamcourses unless fully suspended. Debris in Streamcourses resulting from falling or yarding Included Timber shall be removed immediately to a stable location above high water mark. Existing natural stable debris shall be left undisturbed. The State may require individual felled, or portions of felled trees that have entered Streamcourses to be left unyarded. Trees or portions of trees to be left shall be clearly marked by the Forest Service prior to yarding. c. Other Streams and V notches designated for soil and water quality protection are marked with green and white striped flagging and will be protected in the following manner unless agreed otherwise in writing: In so far as practical, trees shall be felled and yarded away from Streamcourses. The trees that cannot be felled away from Streamcourses shall be felled to bridge the stream providing these trees will be yarded during the same operating season. Trees felled to bridge Streamcourses shall be bucked, limbed, and topped clear of Streamcourse and its banks. Debris consisting of large unmerchantable pieces, root wads, or large accumulations of slash resulting from falling or yarding Included Timber, which restrict natural water flow, adversely affect water quality or have potential for debris flow, shall be removed to a stable location above high water mark before the yarder leaves the unit or upon completion of seasonal logging activities in the unit, whichever comes first. In addition, the following measures shall be observed to protect Streamcourses, unless otherwise agreed in writing: Purchaser's operations shall be conducted to prevent debris from entering Streamcourses, except as authorized under this provision. When removing debris Purchaser shall remove such debris in an agreed manner that will cause the least disturbance to Streamcourses. Culverts or bridges shall be required on Temporary Roads at all points where it is necessary to cross Streamcourses. Such facilities shall be of sufficient size and design and installed in a manner to provide unobstructed flow of water and to minimize damage to Streamcourses.
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 12
Wheeled or track-laying equipment shall not be operated in Streamcourses unless approved by STATE except at crossing designated by STATE, or as essential to construction or removal of culverts and bridges. Flow in Streamcourses may be temporarily diverted only if such diversion is necessary for Purchaser's planned construction and Forest Service gives written authorization. Such flow shall be restored to natural course as soon as practicable and in any event prior to a major storm runoff period or runoff season O. Archeological Sites. If, during the course of operations, any physical remains of historic,
archaeological, or paleontological nature are discovered, work in that immediate vicinity must cease and the State must be notified. The Alaskan Historic Preservation Act prohibits the appropriation, excavation, removal, injury, or destruction of any historic, prehistoric or archaeological resources of the State.
P. Monuments and Markers. The PURCHASER must protect all known land survey monuments and witness trees and markers from damage or obliteration. If monuments or markers are destroyed, the PURCHASER must pay the costs of restoration. No painted, blazed or tagged tree which marks the boundary of the sale area or cutting units may be cut unless approved in writing by the State.
11. RISK MANAGEMENT
A. Indemnification. PURCHASER shall defend, indemnify, and hold the State and the federal government harmless from any and all claims, demands, suits, loss, liability and expense, for injury to, or death of persons and damage to, or loss of property arising out of, or connected with the exercise of the privileges granted the PURCHASER by this contract.
B. Insurance Requirements. PURCHASER, its contractors and subcontractors must purchase, at its own expense, and maintain in force at all time during the Term of this Contract the policies of insurance specified in Exhibit G from an insurer qualified to do business in Alaska. Where specific limits are shown, it is understood that they are the minimum acceptable limits, and if the policies contain higher limits, the STATE and the additional insured hereunder shall be entitled to those higher limits. The policies must each name the STATE as an additional insured. The STATE must be provided with certificates of insurance and copies of the policies, a minimum of fifteen (15) days prior to commencing Timber Operations. The policies must provide that coverage shall not be canceled, limited, or allowed to expire until after thirty (30) days written notice has been given to the STATE. The STATE shall have the right, at its option, to pay any delinquent premium on any of the policies if necessary to prevent a cancellation, non-renewal or material alteration thereof; and PURCHASER must within five (5) business days, reimburse the STATE’S expenditure. In the event that any insurance policy is canceled or the policy is materially changed, PURCHASER must immediately notify the STATE and cease Timber Operations until certificates of insurance are delivered to and approved in writing by the STATE. The STATE reserves the right to reasonably increase the required insurance coverage limits to be in accordance with the current industry standards by giving 30 days written notice to PURCHASER.
C. Risk of Loss. The risk of loss by fire, windstorm, or other cause of any standing, decked or down Merchantable Timber within the Timber Sale Area shall be borne by the holder of title to the timber or logs. The State is not obligated to supply, nor is the PURCHASER obligated to accept and pay for, other timber in place of the destroyed or damaged timber. The loss or damage to timber removed from the sale area under the contract is borne by the PURCHASER. This section alone does not relieve either party of liability for negligence. D. Performance Bond. At the time of executing this contract, PURCHASER shall deposit with the STATE ninety-four thousand dollars ($94,000.00 USD) in the form of a cashier’s check, money order, time certificate of deposit (with automatic renewal) in the State’s name in trust for the purchaser, or surety made payable to the STATE. Bonding must conform to 11 AAC 71.095. If cash is used for the Performance Bond it will be placed by the State in a separate state account and all interest on the Performance Deposit shall accrue to the benefit of STATE. If PURCHASER is in default under this Contract and has received notice of such default from the STATE, but has failed to cure such default, the
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 13
STATE may apply said Performance Bond to pay for the performance of the default obligation and any of the STATE’s expenses or damages incurred as a result of PURCHASER’s default. PURCHASER shall remain liable for any deficiency that remains after application of the Performance Bond to any amount owed and within ten (10) days of STATE’s said application, PURCHASER must deposit that sum of money necessary to maintain a Performance Bond of ninety-four thousand dollars ($94,000.00 USD). 12. ENVIRONMENTAL COMPLIANCE, PROTECTION AND SAFETY
A. Hazardous Materials. PURCHASER must not cause or permit to be brought upon, stored or used in or about the Timber Sale Area, or the Roads and Related Transportation Facilities by PURCHASER, its agents, employees, contractors, or invitees, any Hazardous Materials without the prior written consent of the STATE, which will not be unreasonably withheld by the STATE so long as PURCHASER demonstrates to the STATE’s satisfaction that such Hazardous Materials are reasonably necessary to PURCHASER’s Timber Operations and will be used, kept, and stored in a manner that complies with all Laws regulating any such Hazardous Materials. B. Fuel Storage, Fueling, Maintenance and Spill Prevention. The STATE hereby consents that PURCHASER may bring upon, and use necessary fuel, lubricating oil, hydraulic fluids, explosives and anti-freeze substances in the Timber Sale Area, and the Roads and Related Transportation Facilities, during the Term of this Contract only to the extent such items are transported, used, and disposed of in a manner that complies with all Laws and the terms of this Contract. PURCHASER must maintain and use mobile fuel storage, refueling and maintenance facilities (including facilities for the collection of waste oil) and must do so in accordance with all Laws. No fixed tank storage is allowed on the sale area. The PURCHASER must have adequate absorbent and cleanup materials on site and in all vehicles and machinery used in the Timber Sale Area to contain spills related to fueling, maintenance and repair operations and damage likely to be sustained in the course of operations. Mobile fuel storage facilities must not be parked within 100 feet of water bodies. Refueling of equipment must not occur on the active flood plain of a water body or within 300 feet of an anadromous fish stream. Vehicle maintenance, campsites, and/or storage and stockpiling of material on the surface ice of lakes, ponds or rivers are prohibited.
C. Sanitation. The sale area must be maintained in a clean and sanitary condition during the operations of the PURCHASER. Any foreign materials or wastes such as cable, cans, bottles, barrels, garbage, equipment, equipment parts, or other debris resulting from this operation must be removed from the sale area as they are used and at the latest, upon completion of operations on any cutting unit.
D. Immediate Cleanup of Environmental Contamination. In the event PURCHASER becomes aware of any Environmental Contamination within the Timber Sale Area, PURCHASER must immediately notify the STATE and the Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation of any such Environmental Contamination and (unless provided for otherwise in a STATE-approved joint use Contract between PURCHASER and other Authorized Users of the Timber Sale Area) must immediately take all actions at its sole expense as are necessary to contain and cleanup Environmental Contamination in a manner consistent with the requirements of Law. Without limiting PURCHASER’s containment and cleanup obligations herein, to the extent that it is economically reasonable to do so, PURCHASER must return the affected area to the condition existing prior to the introduction of any such Hazardous Materials.
E. Site Specific Special Protection Measures. Special protection measures needed to protect
known areas identified on Sale Area Map or on the ground include: (1) Cultural Resource Protection Measures: None known at this time. (2) Wildlife and Botanical Protection Measures: Retention of leave areas. (3) Cave Resource Protection Measures: Not applicable.

(Events of Default by PURCHASER) above, the STATE will serve written notice on PURCHASER that states the ground or grounds upon which default is alleged and demand a cure. In the event of a default by PURCHASER for failure to make payments of Stumpage Fees, or Performance Bond, or for failure to obtain or maintain insurance as required herein, Timber Operations must cease immediately upon PURCHASER’s knowledge of the default or upon notice from the STATE, whichever is earlier. If the default is not cured within thirty (30) business days of written notice to PURCHASER, the STATE may suspend or terminate this Contract by serving written notice on the PURCHASER stating that this Contract is suspended or terminated. If an Event of Default is of any nature other than the defaults identified in the previous sentence and if (i) the default is not cured, or (ii) reasonable steps are not taken to diligently execute a cure within thirty (30) business days of notice, or within 48 hours in the case of obligations which the STATE or an authorized regulatory agency has declared to be of an emergency nature, the STATE may suspend or terminate this Contract by serving written notice on PURCHASER stating that the Contract is suspended or terminated. Failure of the STATE to strictly enforce at any time any of the provisions of this Contract shall not be construed to be a waiver or affect the right of the STATE to thereafter strictly enforce such provision. C. Remedies. In addition to the above, if an Event of a Default by PURCHASER occurs under this Contract through no fault of the STATE, the STATE, at its election, shall be entitled, after written notice to PURCHASER and the cure periods set forth above have expired: (i) to suspend the operations under this Contract until the breach is cured; (ii) to terminate this Contract and recover any and all damages including incidental and consequential damages; (iii) to terminate this Contract and retain the Bid Deposit, any Stumpage Payments, the Performance Deposit and all other fees and deposits paid by PURCHASER, plus all interest accrued thereon, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty; (iv) to seek specific performance of this Contract; and (v) to pursue any and all remedies in addition to or by way of alternative to the foregoing available at law or in equity. 14.

EXHIBIT B LEGAL DESCRIPTION
VALLENAR BAY TIMBER SALE SSE-1345-K
Property Description: The project area is on the north end of Gravina Island. Vallenar Bay is approximately five miles west of the Ketchikan International Airport and is viewable on USGS quadrangle Ketchikan B-6. The road corridor and timber sale encompasses State, federal and Ketchikan Gateway Borough land in Sections 5, 6 and 8 of T75S, R90E; Sections 35 and 36 of T74S, R89 E; Sections 1, 2, 11, 12, 13, 14, 19, 23, 24 and 30 of T75S, R89E all within Copper River Meridian (CRM). The Timber Sale Area includes only the area described above and as depicted in Exhibit A: Vallenar Bay Timber Sale Area Map. Timber Harvest Unit Description: In this Timber Sale Area ten “harvest area” units have been identified comprising approximately 481 acres. The sale is designated for the harvest of approximately 16,116 thousand net board feet of timber plus net utility, more or less, within the “harvest area” shown on the attached Timber Sale Area Map in Exhibit A, which is made a part hereof. The harvest of timber under this contract will occur only in the “Harvest Units” as designed and marked on the ground and contained in the units represented in the adopted FLUP and the Unit Cards created for this sale on USFS land. The units are marked with pink “Timber Harvest” ribbon on all ownerships.

EXHIBIT C Logging Requirements
VALLENAR BAY TIMBER SALE SSE-1345-K
Harvest Prescription: The harvest method will be clear-cut on State land. On federal land, the harvest method is predominantly clear-cut; Units 10 and 12 are clear cut units with leave trees marked within the units next to the Type III streams. Trees designated for retention are painted with an orange band. The harvest methods will be partially based on the operators’ ability to yard timber with either ground based or cable systems. Site specific characteristics such as terrain, soils, and water bodies are addressed in the Forest Land Use Plan identifying sites that will require either cable or ground based operations. Areas within harvest units without specific designations of harvest method in the FLUP will mutually be agreed upon and identified per harvest methods by the purchaser and the STATE in the Timber Sale Operations Plan. The PURCHASER’s operations on the TIMBER SALE must at all times comply with the Best Management Practices as outlined in the FRPA for public lands and the FLUP for the timber sale.
1. Leave Tree designations for Standing Cull and Utility. A. None
2. Landings must be located, constructed, and operated in a manner that
A. avoids surface and standing waters; B. minimizes the use of marshes and non-forested muskegs; C. prevents logs and vegetative debris from entering surface and standing waters; and D. minimizes the sedimentation of surface and standing waters.
3. An operator must locate and construct a landing according to the following standards:
A. when choosing the site of a landing, an operator must consider the effects of the landing location and provide for a logging layout that will reduce the overall adverse effects on the operation;
B. the design of a landing must minimize the need for side casting or fill; C. a landing must be no larger than necessary for safe operation of the equipment
and decking of logs; D. where slopes have a grade greater than 67 percent, are unstable, or are in a slide-prone
area, fill material used in construction of a landing must be free from loose stumps and excessive accumulations of slash, and must be mechanically compacted in layers if necessary to prevent soil erosion and mass wasting;
E. a truck road, a skid trail, or a fire trail must be out sloped or cross drained uphill of the landing and the water diverted onto the forest floor away from the toe of any landing fill;
F. a landing must be sloped, water barred, ditched or otherwise constructed and maintained to minimize accumulation of water on the landing; and
G. any excavated material from the construction of a landing may not be placed where it is likely to result in degradation of surface water quality.
4. To maintain bank integrity, an operator must minimize disturbance of residual trees, brush,
and similar understory vegetation adjacent to surface and standing waters. An operator must also, where feasible, avoid disturbing roots, stumps, and deadfalls embedded in the bed or bank of surface waters, and standing waters larger than one-half acre.
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 23
5. In a riparian area, an operator must, where feasible and necessary, leave high stumps to prevent
felled and bucked timber from entering surface waters.
6. The STATE will, in its discretion, require stabilization, to the extent feasible, of disturbed banks to prevent soil erosion and degradation of water quality.
7. If a tree is felled into nonfish-bearing surface or standing waters, the operator must remove
the tree and its debris at the earliest feasible time, to the extent necessary to avoid degradation of water quality.
8. An operator may not buck or limb a tree or any portion of a tree lying between the banks
of surface waters, except as necessary to remove the bole, limbs, or small debris from the water as required by 11 AAC 95.290(e) or this section.
9. If feasible, an operator
A. may not fell trees into a riparian timber retention area; and B. must fell each tree in a direction that minimizes damage to trees retained in a
partial cut. 10. During yarding, an operator must keep all logs fully suspended above or yarded away from
surface waters where feasible, in light of the necessary equipment being reasonably available to the operator and the importance of the surface water to fish habitat and water quality, unless full suspension or split yarding would likely cause greater degradation of surface water quality or impact to fish habitat than cross-stream yarding.
11. The following standards apply to cable yarding operations:
A. when feasible, an operator must use maximum available deflection; B. where feasible, an operator must use uphill yarding techniques; C. where downhill yarding is used, an operator must use deflection to lift the
leading end of the log and minimize downhill movement of slash and soils; D. when yarding parallel to surface waters, and when in or near a riparian area,
an operator must make an effort to minimize soil disturbance and to prevent logs from rolling into surface waters or the riparian area; and
E. when yarding across marshes and non-forested muskegs, an operator must make an effort to minimize damage to vegetative cover.
12. The PURCHASER may utilize only logging systems detailed in the Operating Plan. The
number of skidding routes through an area must be minimized.
13. An operator may not use a tracked skidder, a wheeled skidder, or a logging shovel during saturated soil conditions if degradation of surface and standing water quality is likely to result.
14. An operator must minimize damage from skidding to the stems and root systems of retained
timber. The PURCHASER must protect residual trees and seedlings during harvest operations. No more than 25 percent of the residual stand may be damaged. Residual trees or existing spruce regeneration that in the judgment of the STATE are unnecessarily damaged during felling and/or skidding operations must be paid for by the PURCHASER in accordance with the following: Liquidated damages for residual trees greater than 4 ½ feet tall is set at the rate of $50 (fifty dollars) per tree. The PURCHASER must fell, skid or slash all damaged residual stems after the main harvest operations for that unit has been completed, as directed by the STATE. Damaged stems are defined as stems with broken tops, stems that are leaning more than 30 degrees off vertical, and stems that have more than one-third of the cambial surface (circumference) exposed from skidding scars.
Vallenar Bay Timber Sale SSE-1345-K PAGE 24
15. When using tracked and wheeled vehicles, an operator must:
F. use puncheon where significant ground disturbances may contribute to sedimentation of surface water;
G. locate skid trails to minimize degradation of surface water quality; H. use water bars or other appropriate techniques as necessary to prevent or
minimize sedimentation; I. keep skid trails to the minimum feasible width; and J. outslope skid trails where feasible, unless an inslope is necessary to prevent
logs from sliding or rolling downhill off the skid trail.
16. Upon the completion of operations at a site, a skid trail must be water-barred according to the standards set out in 11 AAC 95.315 or otherwise stabilized to prevent erosion from entering surface waters.
17. An operator may not use a tracked or wheeled skidder on a slope where this method of operations
is likely to cause degradation of surface and standing water quality.
18. The tops of all trees felled, and not yarded to the landing, must be scattered in such a manner as to lay away from residual trees. Non-merchantable trees cut for skid roads, landings, etc., are to be treated as slash unless otherwise directed by the STATE. Slash must be treated so that the slash height does not exceed two feet above the ground. All heavy accumulations of slash occurring road side, and at landings must be scattered, or piled, or treated in a manner approved by the STATE.
