- Description
- CoeurdAlene River Ranger District, Kootenai and Shoshone Counties, Idaho. This project is for the opening of forest roads by removing snow, removing and reinstalling earthen barriers for spring tree planting on the Coeur d Alene River Ranger District on the Idaho Panhandle National Forests. However all units may not be plowed into depending on weather, a pre-observation will determine which roads are to be plowed. The use of a crawler tractor, D-6 Cat, JD 850 or Intl TD 15, is standard industry practice. Also, a rubber-tired blade is preferred for plowing on asphalt. Equipment furnished must be fully equipped to include all operating supplies, and must be provided with a skilled operator. Generally, the equipment should meet the following specifications: 140-160 flywheel horsepower minimum, Rollover protection (ROPS), back up warning device, hydraulic angle blade, 10? minimum length (preferred), ice grousers (preferred). Four to six inches of snow is to be left to protect road surfaces. Drain holes shall be installed approximately every 150 feet, as needed. Turnarounds will be plowed out at the end of the road. Turnouts will be plowed out every two miles. The number of moves and miles to plow will depend on weather, actual snowmelt and road conditions, and may vary from map layout. All earth barriers removed during plowing will be replaced to correct specifications by using a backhoe after tree planting has been completed in that work area.
