Licenses Required :

C-61/ D49 Tree Service Contractor

Description :

The Contractor shall furnish all supervision, labor, materials, equipment, and incidentals necessary to accomplish the work in accordance with the Contract.  The work generally consists of vegetation work in the SMUD transmission right of ways (ROW) in Sacramento County, El Dorado County, and Placer County on a task order basis.  Goals of the operation are to remove vegetation that could grow or fall to within safety distances to the transmission lines and reduce fuels minimizing the potential effects of a wildfire.  Brush and trees within the Wire Zone, the area under the wires extending out 25 feet, will be removed.  The Border Zone, area from the edge of the wire zone to the edge of the ROW, will have vegetation removed to create distance between crowns of 15 to 20 feet resulting in tree spacing of 30 to 40 feet.  Brush and slash up to 16” diameter will be chipped with chips broadcast on site.  Material larger than 6” diameter will be left on site and bucked so 90% of length is in contact with the ground.  Ladder fuels will be removed by pruning limbs up to 10 feet.  Leave trees will be selected on the following criteria:

1)	Most vigorous trees with no visible mechanical or major structural defects
2)	Trees with no visible evidence of insect or disease damage
3)	Species preference;
a.	Blue Oak (Quercus douglassi)
b.	Live Oak (Quercus wislizeni and crysolepis)
c.	Other hardwoods
d.	Gray Pines will be removed unless they have unique values and are at least 100 feet from the transmission line

Brush will be removed except for elderberries.  All sprouting species will be treated with herbicide to prevent re-sprouting.  Along watercourses with habitat to support aquatic vegetation the following procedures will be followed.  On areas with slopes less than 50% a 50 foot zone will be established and on slopes greater than 50% a 75 foot zone.  Equipment will be excluded from this zone except for on existing roads and crossings.  No equipment will be allowed to operate in water if present at crossings.  Within this zone trees to be removed will be targeted that could eventually grow or fall within the safety zone of the transmission lines.  Work within the zone will maintain a 50% crown canopy closure.  51 feet along ephemeral watercourses treatment will maintain 50% vegetation cover and the channel will be protected.  No material will be allowed within the high water mark of the watercourses and all material will be stabilized to insure it will not roll into the watercourse.  Any dirt or material entering the channel will be cleaned prior to the end of the day of deposition.

Operation is expected to consist of hand crews using a track chipper.   At some locations a masticator mounted on either a Skidsteer or similar equipment will be used.  It is possible larger equipment equipped with a masticating head may be used.

Any cultural resources on the area of the operation will be flagged and all operations will avoid entry into the sites.  If new and unrecorded sites are encountered a certified Archeologist shall identify and establish site boundaries.
