The treatment areas requiring boundaries are within the Beaver Creek project area and consists of 22.4 miles of boundary for thinning operations. Unit boundaries in compartment 14 have been flagged and mapped using Avenza and Two Trails. Paper and electronic maps will be provided when work begins on the contract. All unit boundaries of the contract will be marked in orange tracer paint with 3 diagonal slashes at DBH and 2 stump marks. Boundary trees should be marked frequently enough to easily see marked trees in either direction along the boundary line, however the distance between marks should be between 20�-150� apart. Boundaries adjacent to any major road don�t require a marked boundary as the road marks the boundary. Leave Tree Marking The project area is located on the Davy Crockett Ranger District. The treatment area is in the Beaver Creek project area consisting of 8 units (163 acres) of first thinning plantations within compartment 14. Five leave tree units are located on the Deer Hunter timber sale while three more are located on the Hickory timber sale. Units are to be determined and maps will be provided at the time of award on the contract. Units will be marked in orange tracer paint with a 4� full wrap breast mark and 2 stump marks for sawtimber and 1 stump mark for pulpwood. All units will be marked to leave an average of a 60 BA. Some units will have visual quality requirements where directional marking and increases in basal area retained is necessary.

Five cut tree units are located in the Deer timber sale and the remaining 12 on the Hickory timber sale. Only pine will be marked in compartment 14.
