TO: Board of County Commissioners
FROM: Planning Department
SUBJECT: Colorado Timber & Land Company
Logging Special Use Permit, Located in Section 7, T7S, R100W
DATE: 20 January, 1998
The Board will recall this operation is located on the south side of Kimball Mountain, approximately
20 miles northwest of DeBeque, at the terminus of County Road 202. The applicant proposed the
operation as a pilot project, to determine the feasibility of helicopter transport of the felled timber.
The helicopter was proposed to remove the timber from the location it was felled and then transport
it to a drop zone, where it would be loaded on trucks, for removal along County Roads 202 and 204
and ultimately Interstate 70.
This logging project was conditionally approved on September 8, 1997, encompassing all of Section
7, T7S, R100W of the 6th P.M. An approval condition attached to the permit was a requirement that
the applicant's forester monitor the operation and submit a progress report detailing compliance with
the timber harvesting plan, as well as all conditions of approval, prior to applying to expand the
operation. See Resolution 97-85, pages -3- 7 .
The applicant has submitted a Progress Report detailing the operation, which addresses the various
approval conditions. See report and attachments, pages F-4 . This report addresses the
following items-
1]
tems:
1] 200 acres of the 400 acres proposed for logging in Section 7 have been logged;
2] Revegetation of landing areas will occur after cessation of logging, projected for July or
August, 1998;
3] Property boundaries have been established;
4] Utilization has been "excellent" and stumps are an acceptable height;
5] No more than 70% of the timber has been removed, consistent with the harvest plan, with
minimal damage to remaining trees;
6] Six aspen trees were approved for removal due to safety concerns;
7] Slash has remained at the site;
8] A 50 foot buffer along Kimball Creek has been maintained;
9] Wildlife surveys and locations are on-going, and will be further monitored, especially during
calving season;
10] The fire hazard has been relatively low and loggers have had appropriate tools and equipment;
11] There have been no dust problems;
12] Conditions attached to all access permits have been met;
13] A road bond of $100,000 has been placed with the Road and Bridge Department; all vehicles
utilized in the operation have been licensed; frequency of maintenance of county roads has not
been requested;
14] No negative impacts have occurred to transport of livestock along the shared haul route.
Although staff has not recently visited the site, staff has discussed the operation with the Road and
Bridge Department, relative to the impact on county roads. Road and Bridge has verbally confirmed
that in early December apparently disgruntled loggers cut down elm trees along County road 202,
blocking the road. The Sheriff's Department investigated and confirmed that at least one tree had
been felled and was eventually removed by Road and Bridge at a cost of $800. See report, pages
/7 -ZD Apparently other trees have been felled and are in the County right-of-way. Removal,
when completed, will likely be in excess of $1000 and staff suggests the County tax -payer not be sent
the bill.
To date, the Planning Department is not aware of any other complaints regarding the operation.
Staff Comment: Although the applicant has submitted a report stating no negative impacts have
occurred, it is obvious that at least one costly impact has. The lack of disclosure in the road situation
casts doubt on the validity of the Progress Report.
Aside from this situation, staff's chief concern is for drainage from the affected slopes and the
potential for increased erosion. This situation should be monitored closely, especially in the spring
and summer, with appropriate erosion -control measures taken. The timber harvesting plan includes
methods such as adding or rebuilding drainage features, broadcast and hand -spread reseeding,
monitoring and spraying of noxious weeds in the landing areas, and water bar construction. Staff
suggests that at this time, the applicant's forester discuss the necessity of these erosion controls and,
if necessary, how they would be provided.
If all questions concerning this logging operation are satisfactorily answered, then application for
additional logging may be made. Staff has had preliminary discussions with the applicant's agent
regarding expansion of the permit, and staff believes it necessary to consider as a separate application.
However, the Timber Harvesting Plan was submitted for a tract of land known as the Colorado
Carbon Company Tract, consisting of nearly 1900 acres.
The acreage in Section 7, T7S, R100W that was actually permitted was proposed, by the applicant,
as a pilot project and the application was reviewed and ultimately approved only for Section 7. It is
staff's interpretation that any expansion must be considered, within the appropriate conditional or
special use review. Staff has reviewed the underlying Resource Lands zoning and extraction is
allowed as a conditional use within three of the four sub -classifications (Plateau, Escarpment, Talus
slopes) and as a special use within the gentle slopes and lower valley floor classification.

Colorado Timber and Land - Compliance Review 1/26/98
This project is located approximately 20 miles northwest of DeBeque, near the end of County Road
202, on the south side of Kimball Mountain. When the permit was approved, an approval condition
was attached that, prior to mating application to log additional acreage, the Board would review the
logging operation for compliance with the approval conditions. If the Board finds that additional
conditions should be attached to the permit, then the Board must conduct a public hearing. The
applicants have submitted a progress report, detailing the operation to date, and addresses the
following issues:
1] 200 acres of the 400 acres proposed for logging in Section 7 have been logged;
2] Revegetation of landing areas will occur after cessation of logging, projected for July or
August, 1998;
3] Property boundaries have been established;
4] Utilization has been "excellent" and stumps are an acceptable height;
5] No more than 70% of the timber has been removed, consistent with the harvest plan, with
minimal damage to remaining trees;
6] Six aspen trees were approved for removal due to safety concerns;
7] Slash has remained at the site;
8] A 50 foot buffer along Kimball Creek has been maintained;
9] Wildlife surveys and locations are on-going, and will be further monitored, especially during
calving season,
10] The fire hazard has been relatively low and loggers have had appropriate tools and equipment;
11 ] There have been no dust problems;
12] Conditions attached to all access permits have been met;
13] A road bond of $100,000 has been placed with the Road and Bridge Department; all vehicles
utilized in the operation have been licensed; frequency of maintenance of county roads has not
been requested;
14] No negative impacts have occurred to transport of livestock along the shared haul route.
I have not recently visited the site; however, I have discussed the operation with road and bridge.
King made me aware of a situation that occurred in early December where trees were cut to
intentionally block access along county road 202. Both road and bridge and the sheriff's department
responded, with the county incurring a cost, to date, of at least $800. King has verbally informed me
that other trees are lying within the county right-of-way and will require removal at some time. 1
suggest that the applicant or operator reimburse to the county all costs attributable to this incident.
Aside from this incident, my main concern is for erosion control and adherence to proposed methods
of erosion mitigation. 1 recommend that the operator's forester address these methods and how they
will be employed.
My recommendation is that if the Board receives satisfactory answers to these issues, then additional
approval conditions would not be necessary and an application for permitting additional logging may
be submitted. The applicants have recently submitted an application; however, I have not reviewed
it.

Staff Forester
Condition # 3 of Resolution 97-85 required that forest
management practices and revegetation would be monitored for
compliance by a staff forester, hired and paid by the
applicant.
Colorado Timber and Land Company had Ron Cunnington on staff
prior to the issueance of the permit, and he continues to be
employed by the company. Ron, a registered professional
forester, has 37 years of forestry experience, both in the
public and private sector.
The company also hired me, a forestry technician with 8
years public and private experience, in September of 1997.
I have previous work experience and training in timber sale
administration, scaling and utilization, volume estimation,
best forest management practices, threatened and endangered
species identification and resource protection.
The results of monitoring logging activities to date are as
follows:
Acres Completed: Approximately 200 acres of the 400
proposed have been logged.
Revegetation: This will occur in the landing areas
only after logging activities have been completed in
Section 7. We expect to be finished logging here in
early spring of 1998. Seedbed preparation will occur
in July, and seeding will take place in August as
discussed on page 5 of the timber harvest plan.
Property Boundries: Boundries were flagged and in
place prior to any logging activities. They were
established by employees of Colorado Timber and Land
Company.
Utilization: I found the operator's utilization to be
excellent; there was no evidence of "long butting" or
excessive waste. Stumps were cut to acceptable
heights.
Harvest Percentages and Residual Trees: Removal of saw
timber sized trees ranged from 60 to 70%. As called
for in the harvest plan, 70% removal was not exceeded.
The operator took great care to avoid damaging residual
trees and young regenerating trees. In fact, damage to
residual trees was significantly less than is customary
with traditional logging operations, such as rubber
tire skidding.
Harvesting of Aspen Trees: The operator was given
permission to fall 6 aspen trees, two of which were
already dead. These trees were adjacent to a landing
area and since they were infected with heart rot,
they had potential to blow down onto the landing
and endanger ground crews.
Slash: The majority of slash was left in the woods to
decompose.
Stream Course Buffers: The only live stream in the
permitted area is Kimball Creek. No harvesting
occurred within the 50' buffer on either side of the
creek.
Wildlife Impacts: The harvest plan called for
monitoring effects on deer and elk calving. If
operations are ongoing in mid-May, the beginning of
calving season, surveys will be conducted.
Rare and Endangered Species: Surveys will also be
conducted for Goshawk, Flamulated Owl and Eagles if
operations are on-going in mid-May to June 30th. If
nesting sites and these species (or other threatened
and endangered species) are observed, modifications
to cut areas and operations will be made. I am currently
keeping a journal of all wildlife encountered and their
respective locations.
Fire Hazard: Since operations began in late September
weather conditions have not been conducive to fires set
by logging operations. However, the operator did have
U.S. Forest Service approved fire tools in his cache as
well as spark arresters on all chain saws.
Safety: All employees had appropriate safety gear,
radios and took precautions to not endanger themselves
or anyone else. On windy and snowy days the helicopter
shut down for safety reasons. This was also true on
rainy days with poor visibility.
Dust: Since it has been a relatively "wet" fall in
the DeBeque area, dust has not been an issue. No
magnesium chloride has been used to date. The property
owner has granted permission for the operator to get
water from him, if necessary to water the road or landings.
Access Easements and Right of Ways: To date all conditions
of access easements with the Bureau of Land Management and
Maralex are being kept in force. This is also true for the
right of way agreement with Harold Dougherty, John Dougherty
and Elizabeth Stuller.
Road and Licensing Provisions: The County Road and Bridge
Supervisor approved the haul route on September 8, 1997.
Overweight vehicle permits were not required for any of
the equipment used to date. A road bond of $100,000.00
was placed with the Road and Bridge Department on 08/14/97,
for repair of damage on CR 202 and CR 204 if it is
attributable to logging activities. See attached copy of
bond. No such damage has occurred to date. A11 vehicles
used in conjunction with the operation have been licensed
in the State of Colorado through the Garfield County Clerk
and Recorders Office. Colorado Timber and Land Company has
not requested Garfield County to increase the frequency of
snow removal or grading along haul routes. Any additional
signing will be the responsibility of Colorado Timber and
Land Company if it is required.
Overall, the hauling of logs on CR 202 and CR 204 has had
little impact. The condition of these roads remains similar
to conditions prior to logging operations. The log truck
drivers I have encountered are driving safely and are
courteous. In fact, on two occasions, a driver has stopped,
stepped out of his truck and informed exactly how many more
trucks were coming and when to expect them.
Transportation of Livestock: To date, the hauling of logs
has not interfered with the safe transport of livestock along
CR 202 and CR 204. However, Colorado Timber and Land Company
will discontinue hauling if necessary to ensure this
stipulation is complied with.
Conclusion: In my opinion, Colorado Timber and Land Company
has taken all the necessary steps to comply with all the
conditions of Resolution 97-85 and the Timber Harvest
Plan. In many cases they have done more than they were
required to do to ensure safety, resource protection and to
promote good relationships with adjacent land owners.
The economics of this pilot project are feasible thus far.
However, this is conditional upon costs remaining the same,
and cannot be determined with certainty until after operations
are complete in Section 7.

Deputy J. Lang 2.t
On December 05, 1997 I was contacted by Cindy Carlson ( D.O.B. 052264 ) of Salmon River
Helicopter service in Riggins Idaho. Cindy told me their company had been working in the area of
Kimble Creek near De Beque. Cindy stated their company was responsible for lifting logs out of the
area by the use of a helicopter. Cindy also said she was some what aware of the occurrences that had
happened. Cindy said their company didn't employ any of the cutters that might have been responsible
for the cutting down of the trees in the area. Cindy also said that due to financial problems the logging
operation as been stopped. Cindy told me that because of the financial problems some workers were not
getting paid.
Cindy told me that all the cutters were employer by a sub contractor. Cindy stated the name of the
company that she believes employed the cutters as Timber Line Cutters, also located in Riggins Idaho.
Cindy gave me the phone number of Timber Line Cutters, ( 208 528-9017 or 208 520-1230 ) and the
name of the owner, one Steve Bruyere. (D.O.B" unknown) Cindy also said that she didn't believe that
Timber Line Cutters knew anything about the problem. Cindy told me that the name of the foreman on
the job sight was Joe Kaiser, ( D.O.B. unknown ) and Joe was living at the River Manner Apartments #
1308 in Parachute. Cindy also stated that Joe was not in possession ofa telephone.
Cindy said that she was Ied to believe that a cutter by the name of Mark Harvat ( D.O.B. unknown )
might have been the -man responsible for cutting the trees down. Cindy stated to me that " This Mark
was kind of a shady character. " Cindy also told me that Mark might have cut the trees down because he
had not been paid. Cindy told me that 1 would have to contact Joe for anv further information.

Criminal Mischief
Supplemental Report
December 17,1997
Deputy J. Lang
On December 17, 1997 I spoke with Joe Kaiser (D.O.B. 092158) in reference to the tree that had been
cut down on Kimble Creek Road near De Beque on December 03, 1997.
I spoke with Joe at 200 Colorado Avenue, the River Manner Apartments number 1308. Joe stated he
had no idea who could have cut the tree down. Joe said it could have been any of the cutters because
they hadn't been paid for the work that was done. Joe stated the cutters working on the site were from
all over the western United States, and that most of the cutters working at the site had left the area. Joe
could not provide any more information on who might have been responsible for the tree being cut
down.
No suspects no leads, the case is inactive at this time.
