Any removed oak trees must be mitigated by planting six (6) 2-inch caliper balled Oregon white oak trees for every one (1) mature tree removed within the construction footprint. Coordinate with the COR or Government Project Manager and JBLM, ED, Fish and Wildlife Program for guidance on locations for planting replacement oak trees.
Construction work should be done outside the root zones of oak and other trees. A tree's root zone is considered an area one-third larger than the drip line area. Ideally, no disturbance should occur within this zone, including digging.
As per AR-200-1, 4-3, "Assure that agricultural and forest products are not given away, abandoned, carelessly destroyed, used to offset contract costs or traded for services, supplies, or products or otherwise improperly removed." If timber is to be harvested, coordination with DPW Forestry is necessary in advance of cutting. Merchantable trees shall be piled in a neat, limb-free deck for subsequent disposal by the Government. Piles shall be located AS DIRECTED by the Joint Base Lewis-McChord Public Works Forestry Branch via the COR or Government Project Manager. DECKING MAY REQUIRE LOG TRANSPORT OFF-SITE TO AN APPROPRIATE LOCATION ON THE INSTALLATION. Coordinate with the COR or Government Project manager and DPW Forestry if timber removal is part of project.
Trees to be cut down (except commercial harvests) should be cut outside the mid-May through August timeframe. The mid-May through August period is the general time when migratory birds nest at JBLM. Avoiding the tree cutting during this period would prevent harm to any birds nesting in these trees and would be in compliance with the Migratory Bird Treaty Act. Coordinate with the COR or Government Project Manager and JBLM ED Fish and Wildlife Program for guidance.

| 3.11. Integrated Pest Management |
Replace with the following. Selection of bracketed text is up to the specification writer based on planned project structure and actions: |
In order to minimize impacts to existing fauna and flora, the Contractor (through the COR or Government Project Manager) must coordinate with the Installation Pest Management Coordinator (IPMC)[ and Project Pesticide Coordinator (PPC)] at the earliest possible time prior to pesticide application. Discuss integrated pest management strategies with the IPMC[ and PPC] and receive concurrence from the IPMC[ and PPC] through the COR or Government Project Manager prior to the application of any pesticide. Installation Pest Management personnel will be given the opportunity to be present at all meetings concerning treatment measures for pest or disease control and during application of the pesticide.[ For additional termiticide requirements see Section 31 31 16 SOIL TREATMENT FOR SUBTERRANEAN TERMITE CONTROL.] The use and management of pesticides are regulated under 40 CFR 150 - 189 and the JBLM Integrated Pest Management Plan. The Contractor will comply with hazardous material requirements in paragraphs RESTRICTED USE MATERIALS and HAZARDOUS MATERIALS USE AND NOTIFICATION in this section. |
| 3.11.1 Pesticide Delivery and Storage |
Replace the last sentence with the following: |
Store pesticides according to manufacturer's instructions, installation Regulation 200-1, and under lock and key when unattended. |
| 3.11.3 Pesticide Handling Requirements |
Replace with the following: |
Formulate, treat with, and dispose of pesticides and associated containers in accordance with label directions and installation Regulation 200-1.
