3 Post-Sale Activities The following projects would be funded with KV money if available. The projects have been selected based on a preliminary sale area boundary. If the sale area boundary changes when the contract is prepared, then some of the projects may be eliminated as candidates for KV funding. This list was prioritized at an Interdisciplinary Team meeting on 11/15/05 at Detroit R.S.

5 KV Required (Priority 1): Tree planting on approximately 59 acres of regeneration harvest units and about 3 acres of Phellinus root rot pockets as described in Chapter (Alternatives, 3, 5) 6 X $650/ac ac = 40,300. Plantation survival exams on approximately 59 acres of regeneration harvest units as described in Chapter (Alternatives, 3, 5). 6 ac X $0/ac = 1,40. KV Mitigation (Priority ): Note: Mitigation Measures are required to be done and all have the same priority. These mitigations could be funded with KV. If KV funding is expected to be limited, then they will be funded in another way or the sale will be modified in a way that the mitigation measure is not needed. Wildlife tree creation in portions of selected regeneration harvest units. (Alternatives, 3, 5). In regeneration harvest units 13 & 14 leave 8. trees per acre of the largest diameter available and top 3.8 trees per acre after harvest and slash treatment in each unit. 1 ac X 3.8 trees/ac = 47 trees 46 trees X $65/tree = $3,055 Units 1 & 161 need to be evaluated to determine if trees of adequate diameter are available for snags. If they are available, Leave 1 trees in unit 1 1 trees X $65/tree = $1,365 Leave 4 trees in unit trees X $65/tree = $60 Total cost wildlife tree creation in regen units: $4,680 Wildlife tree monitoring in selected regeneration harvest units (Alternatives, 3, 5). $5/ac X 0 ac = $100 Wildlife tree and/or cavity nest structure creation in portions of selected commercial thinning units. (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) In thinning units 6, 8, 9, 10 & 1 leave and top 1.5 trees per acre of the largest available. For unit 6 this will be 15 trees, unit 8 17 trees, unit 9 14 trees, unit trees and unit 1 15 trees, for a total of 75 trees. $65/tree X 75 trees = $4,875 Wildlife tree and/or cavity structure monitoring in portions of selected thinning units, (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) Unit 6 10 ac, unit 8 11 ac, unit 9 9 ac, unit 10 9 ac, unit 1 10 ac, for a total of 49 acres. $5/ac X 49 ac = $45 Coarse woody debris creation in regeneration units. (Alternatives, 3, 5) trees/ac X 59 acres = 118 trees $35/tree X 118 trees = $4,130 Coarse woody debris monitoring in regeneration units (Alternatives, 3, 5).

6 $5/ac X 59 ac = $95 Coarse woody debris creation in thinning units. (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) 1tree/ac X 96 ac = 96 trees $35/tree X 96 trees = $3,410 Coarse woody debris monitoring in thinning units. (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) 96 ac X $10/ac = $9,60 Noxious weed control and monitoring (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) In harvest units and on haul roads in the Sale Area, following the Willamette NF weed EA and Regional EIS. Survey and Weed Treatment: 40 ac X $00/ac = $8000 Post Treatment Monitoring: $100/ac X 0 ac = $000 Replanting of skyline corridors in riparian thinning areas with western redcedar. (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) 4 ac X $650/ac = $,600 Subsoiling (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) At the completion of harvest activities, some subsoiling is proposed in order to reduce compaction at heavily used haul roads (dirt spurs), primary skid roads, and landings as needed. Subsoiling would not occur on all the skid roads, reused and new, because of the potential for problems with root pruning and excessive soil disturbance. The subsoiling would be concentrated for the most part in the ground based portions of units. $6000. Heritage resource monitoring (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) Will be conducted in all high probability areas planned for subsoiling. $85 Monitoring of water temperatures in the Blowout Watershed. (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) $1,50 KV Other Protection and Restoration Projects: Priority 3) Erosion control, slope stabilization, and soil restoration projects: (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) Seeding and fertilizing of cutbanks as needed within the sale area, especially in or near the following units: along Rd. 10 south of unit 1, along Rd in unit 3, unit 9, and the earthflow between units 17 and 7. Riparian hardwood and conifer planting and minor shaping and drainage work on a wet area (about 5 acres) associated with an earthflow across a decommissioned road (former road number ) east of proposed Unit 19. Hydrological storage work on Road : This road would be made accessible for storage work by brushing and bucking out the old growth logs across road, clearing the shallow cut slope failures, and ramping over or removing cutslope failures. Then, the road would be put in storage by creating drivable waterbars, scraping the roadbed over culverts with a dip (leaving culverts in place), and mulching and seeding cutslopes that have failed. This work would only be performed from the junction

7 with the 1013 road to the bridge on Hawkins Cr., because the bridge is not useable. The gate at the beginning of the road will be replaced (gate included in gate costs above) and the road will be placed in hydrological storage (Maintenance Level 1). Subsoiling of approx 5 acres of old skid trails/landings from previous harvest. $16,000 Priority 4) Gate Replacements and New Closures (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5): Gate Replacements: The following gate replacements are foreseeable and were originally identified for closure in a previous NEPA decision. An interdisciplinary open road analysis, covering the planning area, was completed and a CFR closure notice signed on December 18, 199. Roads have been decommissioned, grown over, slumped, closure devices destroyed and various other changes have occurred since that time. At this time the 199 closure is the most recent signed decision on open road management in the area. These gates will replace previously approved closure devices and pipe barriers that have been damaged on Roads , , beyond the junction with the 447 spur, , , , , , , , , and Tributary roads behind these gate replacements include , , , , , , , , , New Closures: The following roads would be closed and closure devices would be installed: These roads do not currently have CFR closures on them. Boulders would be used to close Rd Gates would be installed on Roads , , , and Tributary roads that would be closed by default because they are behind the above closures would include Roads , , Gate replacements and new gates: 16 gates X $3,000/gate = $48,000 1 boulder closure = $700 Total gate replacements and new closures= $48,700 Priority 5) Pre-commercial thinning: (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) On about 558 acres, including pruning of white pine. $195,000 Priority 6) Dispersed sites rehab and of burned pile cleanup to improve visuals: (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) Cleanup of slash piles and landing debris to improve visuals along main roads and dispersed recreation sites. $5000 Dispersed site rehab of more popular sites along Blowout and Divide Creeks. $1,000 Priority 7) - Stream Restoration: (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) Large wood placement with boulder material used for anchoring - approximately.0 miles (0.9 miles in Cliff Cr. and 1.1 miles in Divide Cr.). Structure maintenance - approximately 4.8 miles (4. miles in Blowout Cr. and 0.6 miles in Ivy Cr.). Floodplain restoration (tearing out an old road fill) approximately 0.15 miles in Blowout Creek near the confluence with Cliff Cr., in the NW ¼, NW ¼, Section 6, T11S, R6E. $87,400

8 Enhancement Projects Priority 8- Forage seeding (Alternatives, 3, 5) On regeneration harvest units and disturbed areas, after slash treatment has occurred, for the purpose of increasing forage valued for big game. 0,650 Priority 9- Aerial fertilization (Alternatives, 3, 4, 5) On 96 acres of commercial thinning units proposed for harvest in the Blowout Thin Timber Sale. Approximately 00 acres of young stands in site class IV and V needing pre-commercial thinning will be reviewed for growth response after pre-commercial thinning to determine the need for aerial fertilization $135,10.
