The nature and extent of the tree removal operation is acceptable under both Oregon Forestry Practices Rules and silvacultural practices and thus meet the above criteria "f" and "g." However, criteria "d" and "e" have not been adequately addressed. Approval of this permit is contingent on the acceptance of the following provisions: 1.

That all areas cleared below 250 trees per acre be re- planted to 250 trees per acre, and that this count of 250 trees per acre be maintained for five years. 3. That logging equipment and log /chip trucks avoid using residential city streets. 4. That any timber cut from the sites indicated by "B" in the 1977 "Vegetation Plan - Somerset Hills" be removed from the
