Plan Direction:
Ground-based mechanical equipment for vegetation management should not be operated in areas where sustained grades exceed 40 percent. This is to minimize the likelihood of soil compaction, displacement, and erosion. Exceptions may be made in specific harvesting, felling, skidding, and yarding operations where soil, slope, and equipment types and harvest methods are determined appropriate to maintaining soil quality.
