    The main stream between the units is classified as "unknown" but it is shown in a computer model to likely be "fish". The stream shall be protected as a Type F stream until a field verification can be made. Operations within 100 feet of the stream require a written plan and map. Nothing is required if one is greater than 100 feet from the stream.

    If you intend to burn slash from your logging operation, you will need to file another notification for slash treatment and then file a smoke management registration with the Western Lane Office in Veneta. Once those are submitted, you will need to call 541-285-8671 to obtain verbal permission from the smoke management team before you burn.
