- Description
- JUSTIFICATION FOR URGENCY IN SHADE CARD MAINTENANCE The forest planted and shade carded 394 acres of the Black Butte fire on the Salmon River Ranger District. The forest service went back into the site to install the stake rows and discovered that a large number of the shade cards were pulled out of the ground. The crew was unable to determine the cause of the stakes being pulled out. Some of the shade cards were broken off. The forest planted 534 acres on the Black Butte fire spring of 2009. The planting is located on the breaks of the Salmon River. Of the 534 acres 394 acres were in burned over plantations that the wild fire completely destroyed. The seedlings were planted at a 9 x 9 spacing. It left no micro site material on these acres. The elevation of these acres is 3400 ft to 5000 ft. These acres are on steep slopes ranging from 05-70 percent slope. The canyon summer temperatures can reach in the mid 100’s. The forest service shade carded the 394 acres due to no existing micro-siting. The cost of the seedling were $44,000.00. The price to plant the seedlings was another $69,000.00, and to install the shade cards was $57,000.00. The forest has a $170,000.00 invested in the seedlings. It is critical for the survival of the seedling to do maintenance of the shade cards on the 394 acres immediately as we are into July and the daytime temps are reaching the 100 degree mark on those sites. Under the urgent and compelling circumstances of this need, the forest obtained 3 bids from local contractors. Award was made to 5 Star Forestry LLC on July 27, 2009 for $27,580.00 for shade card replacement and maintenance of 394 acres in the Black Butte fire area.
