Culvert (Take it out when logging is complete.)

45
Q

Explain one method of re-establishing vegetative cover on an erodible disturbed site in order to stabilize the soil.

A

Spread grass seed on it.

46
Q

What type of soil problem might arise from skidding in a steep terrain with sandy soils, and what should be done to this trails when logging is completed?

A

Erosion (Spread slash on the road.)

47
Q

When using a culvert, the outlet end of the culvert should drop at a rate of 1/4 inch per foot of culvert length to prevent ponding at the culvert inlet. How many inches of drop should a 20 foot culvert have?

A

5 in.

48
Q

Mississippi’s BMP booklet lists 9 general SMZ guidelines, be able to name 4.

A
  1. Never use a stream channel as a skid trail or road.
  2. Cross streams only at a right angle.
  3. Avoid rutting through streams.
  4. Minimize the number of stream crossing points.
49
Q

The forest industry developed BMPs to maintain site quality and to avoid mandatory government regulations. Explain why.

A

You want to protect site quality because you are protecting your land and your water quality and you want to avoid government regulations because each state needs different regulations.

50
Q

(T/F) Tree tops and logging debris that fall into a stream should be removed.
