Appendix Fremont Canyon Proiperties Abstract The Fremont Canyon Properties is located just 9 miles northeast of Sisters, Oregon. The area of the property is 240 acres in size. This site was donated to the resource planning class of 2005, by Deschutes County. In March of 2005, Deschutes County Board of County Commissioners entered into a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with Central Oregon Community College. This agreement provides Deschutes County lands for educational use for forestry and natural resources department students. The area was evaluated according to these set of objectives: 1. To demonstrate that the property will be worth more in twenty years. 2. Reduction of fire risk 3. Maintenance of wildlife habitats 4. Increase timber production 5. Cost to implement alternatives The primary vegetation on the site is composed of a mixed age, dominant over story of ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa), there is also a significant amount of mixed aged western juniper (Juniperus occidentalis). The under story is composed of old growth bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata), and some manzanita (Arctostaphylos patula). The predominant wildlife species is the ungulate population of Rocky Mountain mule deer (Odocoileus hemionus hemionus) and Rocky Mountain elk (Cervus elaphus). Another species found on this parcel include Merriam's wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo merriami), and many other small mammals. According to our set of objectives, we came up with 5 options for the land on the Fremont Canyon Property: 1. Run a prescribed fire through the stand 2. Mow the bitterbrush component 3. Thin from below 4. Thin from below and run a prescribed fire through the stand 5. Do nothing Preparers of Section 6 Management Plan Crew Members Chase Hitner Jim Holmly Dee Phalp Kristy Knoke Jared Nelson Nate Schmitt Chris Dougall 7 Site Information The Fremont Canyon property is located 9 miles northeast of Sisters, Oregon. The legal description of the property is Section 6, Township 14 south, Range 11 east, Willamette Baseline Meridian. The area being studied is 240 acres in size The property is currently owned by Deschutes County. Site Description The vegetation in this area is composed of a dominant over story of ponderosa pine, Pinus ponderosa. The area also has a significant amount of western juniper, Juniperus occidentalis, throughout the stand. The average age of the stand ranges from 70 to 100 years. The ground cover and under story vegetation is comprised of mostly bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata), and some manzanita (Arctostaphylos patula). There is evidence that at some point in the past 50 years, the stand was thinned and or logged. We know this because of the downed timber residing and visible stumps left on site. We do not have any evidence to tell us the exact year, although we believe only one treatment has been done to the stand. Objective Statements The objective for the Freemont Canyon Properties includes: 1. To demonstrate that the property will be worth more in twenty years. 2. Reduction of fire risk 3. Maintenance of wildlife habitats 4. Increase timber production 5.

A 1/10 acre fixed plot method was used on all sub -merchantable timber with a DBH of 9 inches and below. Plots were spaced on a 5 chain grid placing 7 plots per forty acres. A total of 42 plots were place on the 240 acre parcel. Using the variable plot method on merchantable timber, each tree that had a DBH of 9.1 inches and above was measured for DBH, height, species, and percent crown ratio. When using the fixed plot method, all trees that measured 9 inches DBH and below, were tallied and placed in DBH size classes. The size classes were DBH of 0-3", 3-6", and 6- 9", species was also accounted for. Plot centers are marked with pink flagging and the plot number is written on each flag. A map showing corner locations and plot layout for the unit is enclosed. Results Data collected on the 42 plots was calculated for volume. The total volume calculated for the 240 acres was 1,231 MBF. Tree volumes were computed for trees greater than 9 inches DBH. The average volume per acre is 5,130 board feet. After running our collected data through Forest Visualization Simulator, we found that the stand will roughly increase 300 MBF every ten years. This estimate is produced from a local growth model for Central Oregon. These figures are a rough estimate, but are a good representation for the area. Legend Cruise Points 700 1,400 2,800 Feet Trash Sites Boundary Landscape Management System The Landscape Management System (LMS) is an evolving set of software tools being designed to aid in landscape level management. LMS is being developed as part of the Landscape Management Project at the Silviculture Laboratory, College of Forest Resources, University of Washington. This program has aided the COCC class in making implementing and making decisions. Landscape Management System (LMS) is a computerized system that integrates landscape -level spatial information, stand -level inventory data, and distance -independent individual tree growth models to project changes through time across forested landscapes. LMS facilitates forest management, planning, and policy-making. Stand projection in LMS is accomplished by the use of external growth models. The growth models currently used are FVS (all variants) and ORGANON (SWO, WWV, SMC variants in the ORGANON -DLL). Additional growth models can be linked into the system by developing interface programs to transfer information to and from the growth model. Stand Visualization can be used to example inventory information in new ways. It can be useful for finding errors in data, communication between disciplines, or as an alternative way to view the information. LMS uses the Stand Visualization System (SVS) for it's stand level visualization. SVS is developed by Bob McGaughey of the Cooperative for Forest -System Engineering (FORSYS), Pacific Northwest Research Station, and the USDA Forest Service. While viewing a stand in LMS, there is the capability of treating it to your specified requirements. Stand treatments include thinning to target BA, Percent, SDI, and TPA; from Above, Below, or Proportional; with Species Selection (Include or Exclude), Diameter Limits, and the ability to add new tree records by planting or in- growth. We found this to be very useful when trying to implement our management proposition. Current Zoning The Freemont Canyon Properties currently has two zoning ordinances along with the general zoning regulations set forth by Deschutes County: 1. Wildlife Area Combining Zone -WA The intent of the Wildlife Area Combining Zone is to "conserve important wildlife areas in Deschutes County; to protect an important environmental, social and economic element of the area; and to permit development compatible with the protection of the wildlife resources." Since this area is a Wildlife Area Combining Zone, the provisions shall apply to the area and are identified as winter deer range, significant elk habitat, and a deer migration corridor. Refer to attached document for further regulations. 2. Forest Use Zone- F-2 The intent of the Forest Use Zone is to conserve forest land. Recommendations The current zoning ordinances and general zoning regulations for the Fremont Canyon Properties appears to be working well and therefore we have no recommendations or alternatives for the current zoning on this land.

Four of the roads are jeep trails that are short and lead to dead ends. Trail 225 and 218 are secondary roads. Road 218 turns into a jeep trail on the north end of unit 6. The steepness is relatively flat with light inclines. The road material is a sandy loam with no water bars. Run off and erosion is evident. The steepness is relatively flat with light inclines. These roads are used by on road and off road vehicles. Objectives/Recommendations 1) Gravel 2) Barriers need to be dug at the end of jeep trails to eliminate off trail driving 3) Water Bars to reduce erosion on the roads 4) Post signs for OHV's 5) Yearly road maintenance 6) Keep trails open for OHV's Archeological concerns Before starting any project it is important to survey the land to determine whether the site contains any archeological sites. In looking into the possibility of documented sites on our planning area, we contacted the Sister Ranger District. Don Zettle, Forest Service Archeologist, said he wasn't aware of any documented sites in our project area, but informed us that there were sites on Deschutes National Forest land near Steven's Canyon. We suggest to the County that they have an archeologist from the state visit the property before any treatments are administered to determine if there are artifacts that need to be protected on the site. Mr. Zettle mentioned some mitigation tactics that could be implemented if artifacts of structures were to be discovered. Minimizing ground disturbance and preserving structures are the main concerns. Treatment 1. - Prescribed fire The only major concern with this treatment is the disruption of soil around the perimeter of the property because of a hand line that would need to be dug for containment. Treatment 2. - Mowing. This treatment would alter the arrangement in ladder fuels. The ground disturbance would be minimal because of the light weight of the mowing vehicles. Treatment 3. - Thinning This treatment would affect any sites very little if at all. Special consideration should be taken when felling trees around any structures.(No slash treatment and hand felling only) Treatment 4. - Thinning and burning The associated risk with this treatment is that there could be a considerable amount of slash that may have to be piled and burned. Even when the piles are burned under favorable conditions they can still super heat the ground and possibly destroy any artifacts in the soil. Treatment 5. — No action No change to site. Wildland Fire Concerns and Potential Treatment Options Treatment Area The treatment area is located about 9 miles north of Sisters in township 14 south, range 11 east; section 6 at 240 acres. The overstory is composed of ponderosa pine. The understory is composed of antelope bitterbrush, Idaho fescue, and bluebunch wheatgrass with intermixed patches of big sagebrush. Conditions The treatment area is composed of ponderosa pine and scattered juniper, both species ranging in size and age. The juniper component consists primarily of regen, (1"- 9" DBH), which was established from scattered large junipers (9"+). The ponderosa component is primarily mixed -age classes with a high percentage of suppressed and intermediate trees. The understory consists of bitterbrush, Idaho fescue, and bluebunch wheatgrass. The grasses are within acceptable fuels standards in reference to tons per acre. The bitterbrush component is patchy and non-contiguous. It is quite thick in areas of low crown density so needle drape is minor, although there is a large component of late seral bitterbrush which acts as a ladder fuel. The downed woody component is relatively low and not of much concern in reference to fire danger. Fuel Model Assessment The treatment area consists of at least two different fuel models: fuel model 9 (long leaf pine litter), where fire is spread by contiguous loading of pine needles. Fuel model 2 (timber with grass and understory), where fire spread is primarily through fine herbaceous fuels, curing or dead; in addition to litter and dead -down stemwood from the open bitterbrush or timber overstory (Anderson, 1982). There is no specific fuel model describing bitterbrush and we believe it is important to address the bitterbrush component at this site. Bitterbrush Component Antelope Bitterbrush is a very valuable wildlife plant. It is an excellent browse for deer, antelope and other large game animals as well as cattle and sheep. Squirrels, chipmunks, and seed eating birds eat the plentiful seeds (www.oakpoitnursery.com, 2005). Considering these factors the bitterbrush component should not be removed completely, although some of the late seral stage bitterbrush needs to be removed or reduced due to its ability to transfer fire from ground to canopy. Methods Fuels data within the proposed treatment area was obtained by referencing photo series for interior ponderosa pine/Idaho fescue phase for appraising downed woody fuels. If prescribed fire should be applied to the project area it is recommended that drip torches are used for ignition in a strip layout fashion. The number of torches and personnel used for ignition is at the discretion of the burn boss Fuel Loading Size Class Weight inches Tons/acre 0-0.25" 0 0.25-1" .6 1-3" .4 3"+ .1 Treatment option #1- Prescribed Fire Prescribed fire is the controlled use of fire for specific objectives. Prescribed fires are controlled by igniting the fire under predetermined fuel -moisture and weather conditions (wind speed and direction, relative humidity, etc.) and specific ignition patterns that use roads and other fuel breaks the control intensity and escape (Fitzgerald, 2002). • Initiate a low intensity underburn to kill and thin out understory trees and shrubs, stimulating pine and bitterbrush regeneration (Fitzgerald, 2002). - Cost • Under burn - $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). Treatment option #2 — Mowing Forest mowing is a relatively new mechanical technique that is used to reduce understory fuels. Mowing utilizes four-wheel drive tractors or tracked machines with an attached heavy-duty brush mower. Mowing has been used successfully in Central Oregon ponderosa pine forests on the Deschutes National Forest and on private lands to remove understory bitterbrush, and small trees less than 3 inches in diameter (Fitzgerald 2002). - Cost • Specifically, it is recommended that late seral bitterbrush (older bitterbrush 4 feet and higher), should be mowed. • Bitterbrush acting as ladder fuels under and around ponderosa and juniper should be mowed. • Mow juniper with diameters of 3 inches and smaller. 9 Mow-$25-32/acre (Joe Studer, Deschutes County Forester, 2005). Treatment option #3 — Thinning Thinning can influence a forest's ability to survive wildfire by modifying fire behavior and influencing individual tree characteristics that improve survival. Thinning affects fire behavior by influencing the amount and arrangement of fuel within the stand (Fitzgerald 2002). Thinning stands of trees with an average diameter of 12-16 inches (our stand's average DBH is 14.77"), can generate revenue from commercial timber to pay for treatment costs (Fitzgerald 2002). - Cost • Thin ponderosa from below (low thin) to remove suppressed, intermediate, and some co -dominate crown classes for a cash return (Fitzgerald, 2002). • Remove/thin juniper with diameters of 9 inches and smaller. • If necessary, burn piles. • Thin- $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). • Hand piling - $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). • Burn piles - $50/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). Treatment option #4 — Combination Thin/Burn Thinning would be completed to modify fuel loading, ladder fuels, and bitterbrush before prescribed fire is applied to the area. Prescribed fire is the controlled use of fire for specific objectives. Prescribed fires are controlled by igniting the fire under predetermined fuel -moisture and weather conditions (wind speed and direction, relative humidity, ect.) and specific ignition patterns that use roads and other fuel breaks the control intensity and escape (Fitzgerald, 2002). * Important Note — Private property borders the north, west, and southern boundaries of the project area. If a burn was conducted the property owners should be notified. Also, extra mitigation efforts need to be taken to protect their land from potential slopover of prescribed fire. It is suggested that a firebreak (area devoid of surface fuels and all trees limbed to approximately 6 feet) should be created that is at least one chain wide (66 feet). A fireline two feet wide to mineral soil will be constructed directly between private property and the firebreak. Sate and federal land borders the eastern boundary and the same mitigation efforts should be taken. • Thin ponderosa from below (low thin) to remove suppressed, intermediate, and some co -dominate crown classes for a cash return (Fitzgerald 2002). • Remove/thin juniper with diameters of 9 inches and smaller. - Cost • Prune applicable ponderosa and juniper with diameters of 9 inches and larger to 6 feet. If necessary remove remaining slash by hand piling to prevent fuel loading. • If necessary, burn piles. • Initiate a low intensity underburn to kill and thin out understory trees and shrubs, stimulating pine and bitterbrush regeneration (Fitzgerald, 2002). • Thin - $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). • Hand piling - $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). • Burn piles - $50/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). • Under burn - $150-250/acre (Gerald Davis, Fuels Dept. Sisters Ranger District, 2005). Wildlife considerations and recommendations Area The project area is part of the Rocky Mountain mule deer and Rocky Mountain Elk winter range transition zone. Therefore the primary concern with the area is in the quantity and condition of forage. Forage found in the project area consists primarily of antelope bitterbrush, Idaho fescue, and bluebunch wheatgrass. All of which are desirable to and of high quality for mule deer and elk. Another concern involves snag retention and down woody material. The area has the potential to be used by wild turkey, owls, hawks and migratory songbirds. Conditions Based on recommendations from wildlife biologists in the area our focus was directed to the size and condition of browse material. We separated the bitterbrush into three categories based on their seral stage. Plants under 2 feet tall were categorized as early seral, those between 2 and 4 feet tall were categorized as mid seral, and anything over 4 feet tall was categorized as late seral. The understory is composed mostly of mid seral and late seral bitterbrush, with fescue and wheatgrass occurring in patches. There are approximately 210 stems per acre and 140 stems per acre of mid and late seral bitterbrush respectively. During fall and winter deer and elk need a continuous supply of browse while they transition from high elevation to low elevation winter ranges. This is accomplished through the mid and late seral bitterbrush. Snags are important for nesting, perching and foraging by birds and small mammals. Older (over 150 years) junipers are typically infected with a heart rot which makes them excellent habitat for cavity nesters. There are approximately 1-2 snags per acre in the project area. However openings in both the overstory and understory, with nearby down woody material are needed for perching raptors to forage. Small mammals, which make up the diet of these raptors, are also important in the spread and planting of bitterbrush seeds. Methods We established 1/10th acre plots around the center points of every third plot from our timber cruise. In each of these plots we counted bitterbrush stems in each of the seral stages. Counts of bitterbrush by seral stage Early Mid Late Stems per acre 60 210 140 We performed counts of snags within our variable plot cruise. We did not distinguish between tree species of snags. There are approximately 2 snags per acre in the project area. Treatments In order to maintain habitat in this area the treatment used should be one that promotes rapid regeneration, open patches and some dense clumps of residual trees. Our treatment recommendations are listed in order of overall preference, and discussed with regards to wildlife. Treatment 1. Prescribed fire This is the overall recommended treatment because of the low initial cost and its ability to remove hazardous fuels. However it could also remove much of the bitterbrush on the site. If done carefully a prescribed fire could enhance establishment of grasses, which would benefit most wildlife species. Treatment 2. Mowing Bitterbrush seems to regenerate fastest following mowing. Mowing would only address the issue of bitterbrush retention for browse availability. Treatment 3. Thinning from below Bitterbrush regeneration is minimal following thinning. However thinning would also create openings for grasses to establish, which would increase the habitat diversity. Also a well laid out thinning design could leave clumps of trees and future snags, further enhancing habitat for most wildlife. Treatment 4. Combination thin and prescribed fire From a wildlife perspective this would be a good treatment. Removal of some trees would create openings and reduce continuity of fuels, which would reduce the possibility of losing much of the bitterbrush. Treatment 5. No action Without any treatment on the site it will probably become even denser, and at risk of a catastrophic wildfire destroying the entire stand. In that situation most of the existing habitat would be lost. Even without a wildfire occurring in the stand much of the habitat would be lost. Recommended Action for Deschutes County The Fremont Canyon Properties is located 9 miles northeast of Sisters Oregon. The property that we are researching is 240 acres in size. This property is currently owned and managed by Deschutes County. After researching management options for the Fremont Canyon Properties we came to the conclusion that a prescribed burn would most beneficial to Deschutes County in every aspect considered. After running a fire through the original stand by using Fire and Fuels Extension program (FFE), we found that a prescribed fire would retain roughly 80 TPA of Ponderosa pine and 20 TPA of larger Juniper. Though this may be a little under stocked, we considered this to be the best option for timber production. We also feel prescribed fire would have beneficial results in mitigation of the late- seral bitterbrush component in the project area. Prescribed fire would eliminate ladder fuels with a low intensity underburn and mitigate potential of catastrophic wildfire. We also conclude that prescribed fire would stimulate new growth of serotinous species (ponderosa pine), and create a healthier understory (grasses), and bitterbrush component for the variety of wildlife that depends on this forage.
