## Stream Size/Site Condition Method

Procedure:

1) Measure bottom channel width (W) and channel depth (D) from bottom to

top of bank.

2) Determine whether slope upstream is flat, moderately or extremely hilly

and refer to appropriate Table (A-C) on the following pages.

For areas with no perceptible change in elevation upstream of the culvert

area, choose (FLAT) slope.

In moderately hilly areas, such as a rise of two (2) feet for every 100 feet of

run, choose Moderate (MOD) slope.

In extremely hilly areas, with an approximate rise of ten (10) feet or more for

every 100 feet of run, choose critical (CRIT) slope.

3) Read corresponding culvert size based on width and depth of stream

channel.

Assumptions:

Roughness factors: S lope:

n = 0.030 for channel F LAT = 0.05%

n = 0.024 for CMP culvert M OD = 2.00%

C RIT = 10.00 %

Calculations assume corrugated Metal Pipes (CMP) which project slightly out of fill.

## Watershed Size Method

Procedure:

1) From Table D below, for the given watershed area, soil, and slope conditions,

read corresponding drainage area i. e., cross-section area of pipe required for

2 1/2 inches of rainfall per hour.

2) Select culvert size from Table E (next page) that has at least the required

area determined above.

Advisory Committee (Courtesy of Rayonier).

Note: For watersheds that require more than 44.2 square feet of pipe (a 90-inch

pipe), multiple pipe combinations should be used to meet the requirements. It is

generally preferable to use multiple pipes of the same size and the pipes should be

spaced leaving a distance of 1/2 the pipe diameter between the pipes.

For example, if two 72-inch pipes are required, the pipes should be spaced 36

inches apart.104 S i l v i c u l t u r e Best Management Practices

Note: Where both sides of waterbody are owned by the same landowner,

multiply acreage from Table by 2. 

# Appendix 10 Special Management Zone AcreageS i l v i c u l t u r e Best Management Practices 105 1) No individual tract or tracts-in-contiguous-ownership may be required to

designate more than 10% of the total tract area as Primary Zone, provided that

no clearcutting takes place within 35 feet of any perennial waterbody or within 50

feet of any OFW, ONRW, or Class I Water (See Example 1).

2) No Primary Zone may be required beyond 35 feet from a perennial waterbody

or 50 feet from any OFW, ONRW or Class I Water, where the trees have been

traditionally managed for the purpose of pine production and, where there is an

existing predominance of pine trees with no significant component of large sized

or merchantable hardwood trees (See Example 2).

3) Where Exceptions 1 or 2 do not apply, clearcut harvesting in the Primary

Zone is permissible provided that no clearcutting takes place within 35 feet of

any perennial waterbody or within 50 feet of any OFW, ONRW or Class I Water,

and where :

a) The total acreage clearcut does not exceed 25% of the area designated as

Primary Zone, and the number of acres clearcut are added-on to the Primary

Zone, acre for acre. These additional acres added-on to the Primary Zone,

must be directly connected to the Primary Zone boundary within the harvest

unit, may not extend out beyond that boundary more than 200 feet, and must

be managed in accordance with the Primary Zone - Management Criteria

(See Example 3a); or,

b) The basal area of overstory trees within the SMZ is 30 square feet per acre

or less, and other hardwood species present are of such low quality

(physiologically or ecologically) that total stand removal would provide a

greater long term wildlife and/or forestry benefit. However, the total area

clearcut under this exception may not equal more than 10% of the Primary

Zone, and any given clearcut parcel must not be greater than 500' in length,

as measured along the stream (See Example 3b).

*See figures on following pages for examples of exceptions.

Note: Exceptions 2 and 3 are applicable only to timber harvesting operations

and do not apply to other forest operations including site preparation activities.
