Category I - Land classifications identified by Stoneman- <br />Landers, Inc, as having less than 10 percent tree cover, <br />Parcels in this category were assumed to require no canopy <br />removal, although removal of a medium growth of grasses and <br />brush was assumed. <br />. Category II - Land classifications identified by Stoneman- <br />Landers, Inc, as having 10 to 40 percent tree cover. <br />Parcels in this category were assumed to require canopy <br />removal on 25 percent of the parcel's acreage, along with <br />grass and brush removal, <br />. Category III - Lands identified by Stoneman-Landers, Inc, as <br />having more than 40 percent tree cover, Parcels in this <br />category were assumed to require canopy removal on 70 <br />percent of the parcel's acreage, along with grass and brush <br />removal. <br />Estimates of the per acre costs of canopy, brush and grass <br />removal were based upon data obtained from the U.S, Soil and <br />Conservation Service, Durango, Colorado; Rick Gruen, CSU Ag Extension <br />Agent; and other sources, The methods employed in estimating these <br />costs are given in a memorandum by John Raines, Western Research <br />Corporation, dated July 21, 1986, A copy of that memorandum is <br />attached as Appendix A to this report, <br />The results of the canopy, grass and brush removal cost analysis <br />are given in Table 3-1, <br /> <br />3 <br /> <br />"'.
