However, PURCHASER must limit skid roads and trails used to 10 percent of the ground yarded area and restrict equipment operations to these skid roads and trails. (2) Using ground-based equipment of 6 pounds per square inch or less of ground pressure. However, PURCHASER must limit soil disturbance (removal or displacement of litter and topsoil) to no more than 10 percent of the ground yarded area. (b) Preexisting skid roads and trails shall be used whenever possible, and soil disturbance or construction of new skid roads and trails shall be limited to that necessary to log the area. Total area of soil disturbance of old and new skid roads and trails used shall not exceed 10 percent of the ground yarded area. (c) Operations shall not be conducted under conditions where soils are rutted or excavated to a depth of 6 inches or more. (d) Equipment shall not operate on slopes greater than 35 percent. Written approval may be granted for short distances on slopes exceeding 35 percent when, in the opinion of STATE, it would be unreasonable to yard by pulling line. (e) Yarding shall not be permitted on haul roads. (f) Ground-based operations shall not be allowed on the timber sale area from November 1 through June 30. (g) PURCHASER shall suspend ground yarding during periods of high soil moisture, as determined by STATE. (h) Operations shall be designed to minimize soil disturbance and damage to reserved timber.
