Section 2055. Utilization Scale. STATE shall scale logs or portions of logs that are broken, wasted, or not removed by PURCHASER due to: (1) improper felling or bucking of the logs; (2) failure to remove the logs prior to deterioration; and (3) logs remaining on the Timber Sale Area after completion of logging, provided the logs were merchantable prior to breakage or wastage. Material used to meet down material requirements in Sections 2220 through 2250, "Reserved Timber," shall not be considered for Utilization Scale. PURCHASER shall pay for the logs at the Purchase Price designated in Section 1740, "Log Prices." STATE shall notify PURCHASER of the volume of logs so scaled. Payment shall be considered due on such volume as if the logs were removed on the date of said notification. In the event PURCHASER disagrees with the findings made by STATE under this section, PURCHASER may furnish scaling by a third-party scaling organization acceptable to STATE. Costs and expenses of such third party shall be paid for by PURCHASER, and the findings of the third party shall be final.
