delineated in this timber sale notice. In addition, this volume is delineated in the attached Exhibit B, and will be used
to bill the Purchaser.

Authorization are required to have a Log Yard Agreement with the BLM. Log scaling
services shall be provided and performed by BLM personnel or third-party scaling
organizations under agreement with BLM.
1. All logs shall be scaled and volumes determined by BLM or a certified contract scaler.
2. The BLM scaler or contract scaler is designated to collect Eastside MBF scale data

2Determinations as to volume of timber made by a BLM check scaler in conformance with
the standards as set forth herein shall be final. When such checks show a variance in
scale in excess of acceptable standards, in two or more consecutive check scales, an
adjustment to the volume reported as scaled will be made by BLM. Such adjustments
will be made based on the difference between available BLM check scales and the
original scale during the period covered by the unsatisfactory check scales. Unless
otherwise approved in writing by the Authorized Officer, the volume to which this
difference will be applied will be 50 percent of the volume scaled between the last
satisfactory check and the first unsatisfactory check, 100 percent of the volume scaled
during the unsatisfactory check, and 50 percent of the volume between the last
unsatisfactory check scale and the next satisfactory check scale.

Officer. While products are in transit, the truck driver shall display the load receipt
and BLM scaler receipt on the bunk or wing log at the front of the load on the driver’s
side. All logs on each load shall be delivered to the destination listed on the woods

the unloading location, or as requested by BLM. A designated area shall be identified
at the yard scaling location for logs arriving during off hours. Logs arriving during
off hours shall be left on the truck or may be off loaded to the designated area.

the Authorized Officer or designated in the Approved Logging Plan. (Refer to
Section 42 of the contract).
5. The Purchaser shall furnish BLM a map showing the route which shall be used to

of such logs shall be deducted from amount due because of trespass.
G. Scaling Lost Products - The value of lost loads shall be equal to the highest value load

is scaled. If no loads have been scaled in that month, value will be determined from the
closest month in which loads were scaled.
VI. Estimated Volumes and Values - The following volume estimates and calculations of value
of timber sold are made solely as an administrative aid for determining payment amounts,

other purposes specified in various portions of the contract. The cutting areas are shown on
Exhibit A of the contract.
A. Merchantable Timber Volume Removed from Contract Area - The total volume of

(19) In accordance with the requirements of Section 8 of the contract it has been determined that it is in
the best interest of the Government and within the provisions of 43 CFR 5402.0-6 to sell additional
timber located in the Salvage Harvest Areas to meet all applicable State safety laws, codes, or
regulations. This timber must be cut or removed so that the Purchaser can continue active falling
and yarding operations. The Purchaser is, therefore, authorized to cut and remove such additional

(aa) Trees felled for safety or operational reasons in Special Reserve Areas shall not be removed,
except in accordance with Section 41(d).
(bb) The Purchaser shall identify each tree sold and cut in accordance with the provision by
marking the cut surface of the stump immediately after falling with a large “X”. The “X” shall
be cut with a chain saw. The stump shall be marked by hanging flagging so that the stump
can be visually located from a distance of not less than 50 feet. The Purchaser shall also
paint an identifiable “X” on the butt log. The butt log shall remain on the contract area until
such time as the Authorized Officer has scaled such additional timber and authorizes removal
from the contract area.
(cc) The volume and price for such timber shall be determined by the Authorized Officer in
accordance with Bureau of Land Management prescribed procedures and paid for by the
Purchaser in accordance with Section 3(a) or 3(e) of the contract as required by Section 8 of
the contract.
(dd) No timber may be cut or removed under the terms of this provision if all contract payments
required by Section 3(a) or 3(e) of the contract have been made.
(ee) The permission to cut and remove additional timber contained in this provision may be
withdrawn by the Contracting Officer if the Authorized Officer determines that the Purchaser:
(1) Failed to properly mark any stump with the “X” cut.
(2) Failed to identify the location of any stump.
(3) Cut any reserve tree in or adjacent to skyline yarding roads that was not necessary to
facilitate skyline yarding.
(4) Cut any reserve tree in or adjacent to tractor skid trails that was not necessary to
facilitate ground based yarding.

(6) Cut any reserve tree that was not severely (as defined during the prework conference
and documented in the approved logging plan) damaged from felling and yarding
operations.

anchor stumps.
(8) Cut or topped more than the minimum number of trees necessary to properly serve as
tailhold trees.
(9) Failed to maintain accurate and current (no more than 24 hours old) documentation of

inform the Authorized Officer at least five working days prior to the need for cutting and yarding any
guyline tree, tailhold tree, tie-back tree, danger tree, corridor tree, pulled over tree, and severely
damaged tree. All sales of additional timber shall comply with Section 8 of the contract.
