Current Landscape Conditions Sample Clauses

Current Landscape Conditions. The Applicants’ forestlands are generally site class III forestlands located in the transitional forest zone of the eastern foothills of the Cascade Mountains in Oregon and Washington. Forests in this area receive a high of 60 inches of rainfall per year in the western portions, to a low of 20 inches of rainfall per year in the eastern portions. The average rainfall on the covered lands is approximately 35 inches per year. Forests on Applicants’ lands are dominated by Xxxxxxx fir throughout the covered area, in both Oregon and Washington. Pure Xxxxxxx fir forest stands exist in the western and central areas of the covered lands while mixed Xxxxxxx fir, Grand fir and Ponderosa Pine forest stands exist in the eastern areas. For many decades, the Applicants’ forest management strategy was to practice long-rotation forestry, harvesting minimally to maintain forest health and allowing forest values to increase. The Applicants’ lands were reserved from harvest because other sources of logs were generally available for harvest. As a result of this strategy, the Applicants’ lands carry an inventory that is dominated by older forest age classes and larger diameter logs. Applicants’ covered lands in Washington are shown in Figures 3-3 and 3-4. Applicants’ covered lands in Oregon are in similar age class conditions. Applicants combined commercial forest acreage with stands over 40 years of age is approximately 50,000 acres, or 60% of the total. Thus, the condition of the Applicants’ forestlands is unusual among forest industry ownerships. In approximately 1998, driven in part by declining supply of logs from Federal, State and other private sources, the Applicants’ strategy changed to reduce total forest inventory and shorten the average rotation ages to be in line with industry standards. The principle reason behind this decision is the dwindling marketability of large diameter logs. As a result, the Applicants desire to achieve a lower average forest age with smaller average log diameters, gradually over the next several decades, in a manner that results in a desired age class distribution in the future. This conversion process, however, is being expedited due to regulatory risks that have been previously mentioned. Without the regulatory assurance of the SHA, the Applicants are driven to aggressively accelerate this conversion process to occur over the next decade. The result will be a rapid increase in the flow of harvested logs for a short period of time, which ...

  • Unsafe Conditions In accordance with 29 CFR § 1977, occasions might arise when an employee is confronted with a choice between not performing assigned tasks or subjecting himself/herself to serious injury or death arising from a hazardous condition at the workplace. If the employee, with no reasonable alternative, refuses in good faith to expose himself/herself to the dangerous condition, he/she would be protected against subsequent discrimination. The condition causing the employee's apprehension of death or injury must be of such a nature that a reasonable person, under the circumstances then confronting the employee, would conclude that there is a real danger of death or serious injury and that there is insufficient time, due to the urgency of the situation, to eliminate the danger by resorting to regular statutory enforcement channels. In addition, in such circumstances, the employee, where possible, must also have sought from his Employer, and been unable to obtain, a correction of the dangerous condition.

Should conditions encountered below the surface of the ground be at variance to the number of unit requirements as indicated by drawings or specifications, and absent an agreed-upon unit price established prior to the bid by Addendum, or after contract execution by Change Order, the Contract Sum and/or time shall be adjusted as provided in the Contract Documents for changes in the work.

  • Unbundled Loop Modifications (Line Conditioning 2.5.1 Line Conditioning is defined as routine network modification that BellSouth regularly undertakes to provide xDSL services to its own customers. This may include the removal of any device, from a copper Loop or copper Subloop that may diminish the capability of the Loop or Subloop to deliver high-speed switched wireline telecommunications capability, including xDSL service. Such devices include, load coils, excessive bridged taps, low pass filters, and range extenders. Excessive bridged taps are bridged taps that serves no network design purpose and that are beyond the limits set according to industry standards and/or the BellSouth’s TR 73600 Unbundled Local Loop Technical Specification. 2.5.2 BellSouth will remove load coils only on copper Loops and Subloops that are less than eighteen thousand (18,000) feet in length. 2.5.3 For any copper loop being ordered by NewPhone which has over six thousand (6,000) feet of combined bridged tap will be modified, upon request from NewPhone, so that the loop will have a maximum of six thousand (6,000) feet of bridged tap. This modification will be performed at no additional charge to NewPhone. Loop conditioning orders that require the removal of bridged tap that serves no network design purpose on a copper Loop that will result in a combined total of bridged tap between two thousand five hundred (2,500) and six thousand (6,000) feet will be performed at the rates set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.4 NewPhone may request removal of any unnecessary and non-excessive bridged tap (bridged tap between zero (0) and two thousand five hundred (2,500) feet which serves no network design purpose), at rates pursuant to BellSouth’s SC Process as mutually agreed to by the Parties. 2.5.5 Rates for ULM are as set forth in Exhibit A. 2.5.6 BellSouth will not modify a Loop in such a way that it no longer meets the technical parameters of the original Loop type (e.g., voice grade, ADSL, etc.) being ordered. 2.5.7 If NewPhone requests ULM on a reserved facility for a new Loop order, BellSouth may perform a pair change and provision a different Loop facility in lieu of the reserved facility with ULM if feasible. The Loop provisioned will meet or exceed specifications of the requested Loop facility as modified. NewPhone will not be charged for ULM if a different Loop is provisioned. For Loops that require a DLR or its equivalent, BellSouth will provide LMU detail of the Loop provisioned. 2.5.8 NewPhone shall request Loop make up information pursuant to this Attachment prior to submitting a service inquiry and/or a LSR for the Loop type that NewPhone desires BellSouth to condition. 2.5.9 When requesting ULM for a Loop that BellSouth has previously provisioned for NewPhone, NewPhone will submit a SI to BellSouth. If a spare Loop facility that meets the Loop modification specifications requested by NewPhone is available at the location for which the ULM was requested, NewPhone will have the option to change the Loop facility to the qualifying spare facility rather than to provide ULM. In the event that BellSouth changes the Loop facility in lieu of providing ULM, NewPhone will not be charged for ULM but will only be charged the service order charges for submitting an order.
