					 in the Rules.
(1) An area contains an average
					 point count of one hundred twenty-five (125) per acre on Site I, II and III
					 lands or one hundred (100) on Site IV and V lands, to be computed as follows:
(A) Each countable tree [Ref. PRC §
													4528(b)]
					 which is not more than four (4) inches d.b.h. counts one (1) point.

					 and not more than twelve (12) inches d.b.h. counts two (2) points.
(C) Each countable tree over twelve (12)
					 inches d.b.h. counts three (3) points.
