Landings, log decks and sets are temporary locations where logs are assembled for temporary storage, loading and transportation.
|
BMPs for Landings |
- Use no more sets than are necessary.
- Make sets no larger than necessary.
- Locate sets on firm, well-drained ground away from streams.
- Locate log sets on a slight slope (less than 5%) for drainage whenever possible.
- Locate sets so skidding will have a minimal impact on the natural drainage pattern.
- Locate sets where skidding will avoid road ditches, sensitive sites and excessive slopes.
- Reshape disturbed areas to minimize soil erosion.
- Seed and fertilize bare areas that would erode before natural vegetation is re-established.
