United States North Revilla Department of Agriculture Environmental Forest Service Draft Tongass National Impact Statement Forest R-10-MB-200 December 1992 Company Ketchikan Pulp Long-Term Timber Sale Contract Volume Part III, 1 . - •-J • •> • . w Recycled Paper Appendix K Unit Cards , Appendix K Unit Cards Unit cards have been developed for each harvest unit and associated road proposed for the North Revilla Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). These cards are intended to display site-specific information, enabling the public to more fully understand harvest implications. They also serve as a mechanism to pass on information gathered during office reconnaissance of the proposed harvest units to Forest Service field personnel, as well as to provide a vehicle for field recon observations to be routed back to the Interdisciplinary Team (IDT) for consideration in preparation of the Final EIS. The Unit Cards consist of two parts: (1) a detailed description of the unit, and (2) a schematic map. The map displays the proposed unit and associated roads in the center of the page. Other features shown include: streamcourses existing roads, previously harvested areas, contour lines, lakes, saltwater, and eagle nests. The reverse side of the card provides a physical description of the unit, as well as identification of resource concerns which must be considered during implementation of harvest. The physical description includes the location, planned acreage, estimated sawlog plus utility volume, silvicultural system, predominant forest type, aspect, and a breakdown by volume class, elevation range, and soil mass movement index. Resource considerations are identified for soils, timber, engineering, fisheries/watersheds, wildlife, recreation, visuals, lands, cultural resources, and geology. Based on field reconnaissance which was initiated in summer 1992 and is ongoing, these unit cards will be made more site specific and presented as part of the Final EIS and the Record of Decision (ROD).

Partial log suspension required over these areas.(BMP13.9) This unit has > 40% McGilvery soils inventoried. Partial suspension will be required wherever these soils are found (BMP13.9) to aid reforestation (BMP13.19). This unit contains 4_ mapped acres on very steep slopes. Verify timber suitability. This unit possibly contains riparian areas. Maintain water quality and fish habitat (BMPs12.6, 13.9). TIMBER There are no timber mitigation measures anticipated for this unit. ENGINEERING This unit contains riparian areas. Use site specific BMPs to maintain water quality and fish habitat/passage during road construction (BMP14.13). FISH/WATERSHED Potential for additional Class I/11 streams within unit. May be necessary to place additional buffers within unit in accordance with AHMU Handbook. M This unit contains a class 3 stream. No specific buffer required, but full suspension, if yarding across. This unit is immediately adjacent to a B1 stream. No harvest within 100 feet and partial cut 100-200 feet of stream. WILDLIFE There are no wildlife mitigation measures anticipated for this unit. RECREATION / VISUALS This unit has a adopted VQO of MM, and is not seen within a viewshed. There are no visual mitigation measures anticipated for this unit. LANDS There are no State & private lands or special-use authorizations near this unit. CULTURAL RESOURCES There are no cultural resource mitigation measures anticipated for this unit. GEOLOGY There are no geological mitigation measures anticipated for this unit. 1 HORTH REVILLA PROJECT HARVEST UHIT DESICH CARO WO YCU: UHIT HUHBER: IML PLAHHED HARVEST UHIT HAP ACRES: YOLUHE: 1174 HBP l)UAD(t): ETHOS QUARTER fUAD(s): HES/SEH PHOTO HUH. : 1279-44 LAHOHET IHPO TOYHSHIP ii£ RAHCE HE SaifnetrendleodthdeesiLgongglofng/tThreonhsaprovresttotfuonnitPlaannd aovneordlaaylofdarrotahdes.Indicated aerial photograph la suppIemeuI the lotlowing UHIT BOUHOARY 200 PT COHTOUR IHTERYAL LOCCIHC SYSTEHS: 1000 2000J11 AOJACEHT UHIT H OPPORTUHITY ROAD rffS-, HE HELICOPTER EXISTIHC ROAD IH ALT HAPSCALE 1:12000 EXISTIHC ROAD HOT IH Ty LAHDIHC CLASS I STREAH EACLE TREE CLASS II STREAH “f* t CLASS III STREAH EX1STIHC CLEMCUT LTP SYHBOL SALTIATER AHO LAKES CLASS I k II STREAH BUPPER Siptmhr 20. 1912
