ODe5!)l Support Engineering, surface reclamation, and archaeologic support will be required in the design and construction of projeclS. Other resource specialislS will assess impaclS of proposed projects and identify mitigative measures, if needed. Cadastral survey will locate public land boundaries. Forest Lands and Woodlands Objectives Manage the suitable pinyon-juniper woodlands and commercial forest lands to maintain stand productivity and to help meet fuel wood and saw timber demand on a sustained-yield basis. Planned Actions I. Existing IO-year forest management plans will continue for Diamond Peak/Middle Mountain and Douglas Mountain. 2. Commercial fores' lands (6,330 acres) will be managed to produce a variety of forest produclS on a sustained yield basis. Limited management (such as natural revegetation and minimal cultural treatmenlS) will apply to remaining commercial forest lands. Allowable harvest levels under a sustained yield have been calculated at 300,000 board feet per year. The allowable harvest will be recalculated periodically based on updated inventories. 3. Approximately 37,600 acres of woodland will be managed to produce a variety of woodland products on a sustained-yield basis. Limited management will apply to the remaining woodland acreage. Annual allowable woodland harvest levels under a sustained yield have been calculated at 2,500 cords, or 1.25 million board feet per year. The allowable harvest will be recalculated periodically based on updated inventories. 4. Access will be acquired for future timber sales (see Map 2). 5. Public harvest areas will be opened to meet local demand. Resource Condition and Rationale Advertised and negotiated sales of forest products will continue to meet local and regional demand for both commercial and individual harvest. This type of management RESOURCE MANAGEMENT DECISIONS will allow harvesting of timber products while ensuring their perpetuity within the principles of multiple-use management. Implementation Priorities None identified. Monitoring Monitoring of specific surface-<listurbing activities will occur on a case-by<ase basis to ensure adherence to pertinent stipulations/mitigations. Support Engineering, surface reclamation, hydrologic, soils, and archacologic support will be required in the design and construction of projeclS. Other resource specialislS will assess impaclS of proposed projeclS and identify mitigative measures, if needed. Fire management support will be needed for managing natural fire and prescribed burns. Cadastral survey will locate public land boundaries. Fire Management Objectives In full suppression zones tbe objectives are: . Give first priority to personal safety, life, or property. . Prevent wildfire from causing any tree mortality in current and plop05ed commercial timber sale and woodland product contract areas. . Prevent wildfire from destroying any perishable designated cultural resource sites. . Prevent wildfires from destroying areas with significant riparian values. In conditional suppression zones, where conditions may not warrant the higbest level of fire suppression, tbe objectives are: . Suppress all wildfires by taking appropriate suppression action. Appropriate actions will be based upon preplanned analysis consistent with land management objectives including the threat of life and property, economic evaluations, and resource constraints. . Use suppression strategies wbicb do not require unnecessary exposure of firefighters and equipment to threatening situations. 19
