Compartment 26

Stand 75Add comment and change treatment period to “1” after harvest as a reference to remove the balance of the scotch pine in the stand.

Remove the reference to the “Canoe Camp” campground from the stand comments and add to the locked box comments. Also remove the reference from the maps. Campground is closed.

Compartment 39, 50, 54No Changes

Compartment 67

Stand 65Change the residual BA to 70 sq ft, change Method of Cut to Shelterwood Prep

Stand 51Change Method of Cut to Shelterwood prep (7) and residual BA of 60 sq ft

***After discussions with TMS Kuhr and as agreed to via phone conversation on 03/08/06, residual BA should have been 50 sq ft due in part to theremote location of the stand. Notes have been corrected.

Compartment 69No Changes

Compartment 84Code all stands as Old Growth with the exception of those ridges and stands that may be operated on this decade or in the future, basically in the south half of the compartment.

Compartment 88No Changes

Compartment 90Stands 46, 47, and 50 – change the configuration of the stands to represent that regeneration of the stands will be only those parts of the stands east of Co Rd 453. Add – the portion of stand 451 east of Co Rd 453 will be planted to jack pine to replace those portions of stands 46, 47, and 50 not being regenerated following harvest (west of Co Rd 453). Portions of stands 46, 47, 50, and 451 west of Co Rd 453 will be prescribed for opening maintenance through prescribed burning. May want to re-number the stands tobetter reflect these changes.

Correct symbols on the maps for ORV trail designation (from snowmo to ORV).

Compartment 94No Changes

Compartment 117Make sure snowmobile trail symbol is on the map (Charcoal Grade).

Compartment 121Wildlife Division will seed access road (ice road) to be used for timber sale access north of Highway M-28 following completion of the sale work this decade. Seeding will consist of cedar. Add comment to each prescribed stand affected.

Compartment 122Stands 22, 16, 19, 20, 21, 30, 33, 35 (& 13 if treated) scheduled for underplanting of white pine, hemlock, and oak following harvest (per WLD). Wildlife division will contract. 400 trees per acre. Also check all 700 stands for the same prescription.
