Failure to leave the required reserved timber shall be handled as described under Damages below. At least 5 logs per acre, of which 50 percent or more must be conifer, 16 feet in length, and having a diameter of at least 12 inches measured at the large end, to be selected by PURCHASER. Trees or logs shall be well distributed across the timber sale area. All snags unless determined to be a fire or safety hazard. Felled snags shall not be yarded or removed. Trees and snags marked "W" with red paint. All western red cedar shall be reserved from cutting unless determined to be a fire or safety hazard by STATE, except those within rights-of-way, skid trails and roads, skyline cable corridors, and landings.

Trees posted with "Timber Sale Boundary" signs are reserved from cutting. Damages PURCHASER shall be exclusively responsible for any damage to, or removal of, reserved timber. If damage to reserved timber occurs and is determined unavoidable by STATE, no charge will be made for damage. If PURCHASER's activities result in avoidable damage to reserved timber as determined by STATE, PURCHASER shall pay for such damage at the following rates: (a) Single the contract value shall be paid when: (1) Minor damage" to reserved timber occurs during the course of normal logging. Minor damage is defined as bark removed down to the cambium layer of a tree, such removal affecting at least 24 square inches, but less than damage defined as "major damage." (2) Trees must be cut in order to facilitate operations, or for safety around landings, as approved in writing by STATE. (b) Double the contract value or $50, whichever is greater, shall be paid when: (1) Major damage" to reserved timber is caused by operations of PURCHASER. Major damage is defined as follows: Bark removed down to the cambium layer over an area of the bole which has one dimension (height or circumference) greater than the diameter of the tree, or any visible bark removal on the tree roots. (2) More than 50 percent of live crown is removed. (3) Tree is knocked down, or leaning more than 10 degrees from vertical. (c) Treble the contract value or $100, whichever is greater, shall be paid when: (1) Reserved timber is intentionally cut or removed. (2) Reserved timber is intentionally damaged. (3) Repeated major damage occurs to reserved timber. (4) Any intentional "notching" or undercutting of reserved timber with an axe or saw occurs. For each species sold on a recovery basis, contract value is defined as the price per MBF listed in Section 44. If species is not listed in Section 44, the highest price listed in Section 44 shall apply. For species sold on a lump sum basis, the contract value for each species shall be determined by using STATE's unamortized timber appraisal value, multiplied by the bid-up factor. Bid-up factor shall be calculated by STATE using the following calculation: bid value all species/appraised value all species = bid-up factor. STATE may direct damaged timber to be left. In that case, payment for damage shall be reduced by single the contract value of such timber. The payment for reserved timber shall not release PURCHASER from liability for other damage to the property of STATE. HARVESTING OPERATIONS

If species is not listed in Section 44, the highest price listed in Section 44 shall apply. For species sold on a lump sum basis, the contract value for each species shall be determined by using STATE's unamortized timber appraisal value, multiplied by the bid-up factor. Bid-up factor shall be calculated by STATE using the following calculation: bid value all species/appraised value all species = bid-up factor. STATE may direct damaged timber to be left. In that case, payment for damage shall be reduced by single the contract value of such timber.
