Common use of Felling and Bucking Clause in Contracts

Felling and Bucking. Felling shall be done to minimize breakage of Included Timber and damage to residual timber. Unless agreed otherwise, felling shall be done by saws or shears. Bucking shall be done to permit removal of all minimum pieces set forth in A2. Contractor may buck out cull material when necessary to produce pieces meeting Utilization Stand- ards. Such bucked out material shall contain a minimum amount of sound wood, not in excess of the net scale in percentage of gross scale, or based on the merchanta- bility factor, whichever is stated in A2. If necessary to assess extent of defect, Contractor shall make sample saw cuts or wedges. B6.411 Felling in Clearings. Insofar as ground conditions, tree lean, and shape of clearings permit, trees shall be felled so that their tops do not ex- tend outside Clearcutting Units, construction clearings, and areas of regeneration cutting. B6.▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇. Stumps shall not exceed, on the side adjacent to the highest ground, the maximum heights set forth in A6, except that occasional stumps of greater heights are acceptable when Con- tractor determines that they are necessary for safe and efficient conduct of logging. Unless otherwise agreed, Contractor shall re-cut high stumps so they will not ex- ceed heights specified in A6 and shall dispose of sev- ered portions in the same manner as other logging de- bris. The ▇▇▇▇▇ heights shown in A6 were selected with the objective of maximum reasonable utilization of the timber, unless Contract Area Map shows special areas where ▇▇▇▇▇ heights are lower for aesthetic, land treat- ment, or silvicultural reasons. B6.413 Bucking Lengths. Trees shall be bucked in various lengths to obtain the greatest utiliza- tion of material meeting Utilization Standards.

Felling and Bucking. Felling shall be done to minimize breakage of Included Timber and damage to residual re- sidual timber. Unless agreed otherwise, felling shall be done by saws or shears. Bucking shall be done to permit removal of all minimum pieces set forth in A2on Page 1. Contractor Purchaser may buck out cull material when necessary to produce pieces meeting meet- ing Utilization Stand- ardsStandards. Such bucked out material shall contain a minimum amount of sound wood, not in excess of the net scale Measure in percentage of gross scaleMeasure, or based on the merchanta- bility merchantability factor, whichever is stated in A2on Page 1. If necessary to assess extent of defect, Contractor Purchaser shall make sample saw cuts or wedges. B6.411 BT6.411 Felling in Clearings.
