- Description
- Highway 20: T13S, R09E, Sections 19, 29, 32, and 33; T14S, R09E, Sections 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 13, 14 and 24; T14S, R10E, Sections 19, 30, 31 and 32; and T15S, R10E, Sections 5, 23, and 24, Willamette Meridian, Deschutes County, State of Oregon. Background: In 2013, 2014, and 2015 the herbicide Perspective®, a Forest Service-approved herbicide at the time, was applied along Highway 20 to control broadleaf weeds and brush. Perspective® contains an active ingredient now known to harm ponderosa pine and other trees. In 2014 foresters first noticed the occurrence of stressed trees along Highway 20. From 2014 through 2018, ponderosa pines continued to become stressed and die adjacent to the highway. Foresters began to suspect that herbicide use might be affecting trees and the use of Perspective® was discontinued on National Forest System lands in Oregon and Washington. Sampling of trees indicate that herbicide use was the likely cause of death of ponderosa pine trees adjacent to the highway. Consequently, there are herbicide-killed and dying trees with herbicide injury located immediately adjacent to Highway 20. In addition, there are danger trees with an Imminent-failure potential (high likelihood of breaking/failing) located within 1.5 times their tree height (typically 150 feet slope distance) of the highway. Due to the very high volume of traffic on Highway 20 there is a need to abate (fell) trees that pose a threat to public safety. Statement of Work: Herbicide affected trees located within the first 75 feet from the edge of the highway, and imminent danger trees and dead trees located within the clear zone shall be felled, processed, decked and slash piled at designated landings. The clear zone is defined as an area from the edge of the highway pavement to a distance of about 30 feet. Any tree that is felled for removal shall be processed and have slash removed to designated locations. No activity fuels (slash, tops, logs, etc.) will be left in the clear zone area. These decked trees will be sold at a later date under a separate contract. NOTE: THIS NOTICE WAS NOT POSTED TO FEDBIZOPPS ON THE DATE INDICATED IN THE NOTICE ITSELF (21-DEC-2018); HOWEVER, IT DID APPEAR IN THE FEDBIZOPPS FTP FEED ON THIS DATE.
