<br /> Page 29 of 42 FINAL 2/21/25 Agreement No. 2025-02 <br />C. When yarding and loading operations are going on simultaneously, an additional shovel shall <br />be required for loading trucks to avoid extra shovel trips to the landing. <br /> <br />D. No more than one round trip per shovel road is authorized unless permission to do otherwise <br />is granted by the Contract Administrator. <br /> <br />E. Shovel roads shall be pre-planned and approved in writing prior to yarding. Roads shall be a <br />minimum of 60 feet apart unless otherwise approved in writing. <br /> <br />F. Shovel logging shall not be permitted on slopes over 30% unless permission to do so is <br />granted in writing. <br /> <br />G. Shovel operations shall be suspended during periods of wet weather to avoid soil compaction, <br />rutting, or puddling. <br /> <br />H. Logging debris created from the operation shall be removed from natural watercourses <br />concurrently with yarding. <br /> <br />I. Shovel shall stay a minimum of 20 feet from all watercourses and areas of wet or soft soils. <br /> <br />J. All merchantable logs containing 10 board feet net scale, minimum top diameter of 5 inches <br />and minimum length of 12 feet shall be yarded concurrently with the shovel operation. <br /> <br />K. Within the area to be shovel logged, all logging debris concentrations--except large logs-- <br />shall be piled (on non-plantable spots such as new stumps, etc., as much as possible). Debris <br />shall not be piled on old logs or stumps, high stumps, or wet areas. Slash piles should be <br />between 5 to 10 feet tall. <br /> <br />L. On return trip to road, shovel shall loosen compacted debris and soil under tracks with grapple <br />to leave soil loose and aerated. <br /> <br />M. Additional site-specific recommendations may be included on case-by-case basis. <br /> <br />N. Shovel yarding approval is only provisional and shall be withdrawn if these specifications, in <br />the opinion of the Contract Administrator, are not being followed. <br /> <br />O. Old down logs, cull logs and stumps shall be left undisturbed whenever possible. <br /> <br />----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- <br /> <br />SECTION C: CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE <br />C-40 Road Plan
