Colville Forest Update

Tim Partin of AFRC reported that on July 20, AFRC members and staff met with Colville National Forest personnel to provide updates on the forest. In addition to the timber sale program, Forest Supervisor Rodney Smoldon reported on the progress or lack thereof on the Forest Plan Revision.

New plans are not being reviewed at the Washington Office due to staff shortages. It will be October or later before the Washington office reviews and edits the Plan and publishes it in the Federal Register.

The Colville Forest, however, is doing fantastic work on its current and five-year timber sale program. In addition to the regular timber sale program of roughly 55 mmbf, the forest has asked for and received $170,000 from the regional office for the Block of Nine Good Neighbor Agreement project. The project will add about 5 mmbf of volume. Additionally, the Washington Office timber management program will contract out the work for the Trout Lake Insect and Disease categorical exclusion.

This project is expected to yield 16 mmbf of additional volume in the near term as well.

With all the ongoing projects to be sold this year, including A-Z, the Colville Forest will be approaching a sales program of 90 mmbf, which is not bad for a forest of only 850,000 acres!

CAL FIRE and Pacific Forest Trust Announce $4 Million Forest Health Project

CAL FIRE announced a $4,072,000 California Climate Investment grant award to Pacific Forest Trust (PFT) for its multi-partner forest health and conservation project that will reduce the likelihood and intensity of fire spreading across the iconic Black Butte and Mount Shasta forests, reducing threats to the communities of Weed and Mount Shasta. Working with the family-owned Michigan-California Timber Company, PFT’s Mt. Shasta Headwaters Forest Health and Resilience Project will

prevent development on the privatelyowned Black Butte property, extend a major firebreak, thin hundreds of acres of young pine plantations, and establish permanent requirements to restore and sustain a more diverse, resilient forest.

The project’s benefits, including higher levels of carbon sequestration and more fireresilient forests, will be secured by a permanent working forest conservation easement funded through CAL FIRE’s Forest Legacy Program and granted to Pacific Forest Trust on Michigan-California’s 5,000-acre Black Butte property. The project will allow this large forest tract, highly visible along Interstate 5, to remain available forever for sustainable timber production and outdoor recreation.

The California Climate Investment Program reinvests the revenue generated by the state’s cap and trade program to reduce climate pollution through a variety of projects that reduce greenhouse gases and help California prepare for climate change.

Protecting healthy, resilient forests is a key tool in mitigating climate change.

Wildfire Fix

A hearing before the members of the Senate natural resources committee was held as fires continued to burn across Oregon, including the 4,579-acre Whitewater Fire in the Mount Jefferson Wilderness. Forest Service reports show that as of Aug. 1, a land area the size of New Hampshire has burned in the contiguous U.S. The Bulletin reported that efforts to increase Forest Service funding stalled in the House, but Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and other members of the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee introduced a “wildfire fix” that is part of a larger bill that would address funding for floods and other natural disasters. The legislation would end “fire borrowing” by funding firefighting for the largest wildfires from a similar disaster account used to fund other natural disasters.

“It is very clear that the system is a broken, dysfunctional mess,” Wyden said.

“Funding this is the longest-running battle since the Trojan War. Two hundred fifty groups have all endorsed the legislation. I asked the national fire chief the other day, what is the cost of inaction? He said $1 billion over a 10-year period.”

The fiscal 2017 budget for discretionary funding for the Forest Service is $4.9 billion, which is $787 million less than 2016. The Trump administration’s 2018 budget proposal would cut another $938 million from current spending.

Southern Oregon Operator of the Year

Plikat Logging, Roseburg, Oregon

By Mary Bullwinkel

I

A TSY 255 alongside a Caterpillar 320C and Link-Belt 290.

t was a very blustery day at one of Plikat Logging’s active op-

erations, yet above the howl of the wind could be heard the 255 Thunderbird yarder bringing up turns of logs, working alongside a 290 Link-Belt with a 623 processing head and a 4040 Link-Belt shovel. This logging was taking place in the Little River watershed, east of Roseburg, Oregon.

Forty Years of Experience and Counting

Plikat Logging’s equipment operators that day had a combined 40 years of experience working for the family-owned company. Owner Wally Plikat had words of praise not only for his equipment operators,

TimberWest July/August 2017 www.forestnet.com

ContractorProfile but for the entire logging crew. “It’s important to have people who can be out here every day and deal with the elements,” Plikat says. “That’s our lifeline, is our crews.”

Wally Plikat established the logging company in 1981. He had already been working in the woods since graduating from high school seven years earlier. He started out working for Standley Brothers out of Camas Valley and then went to work for Lone Rock Timber, the beginning of a longterm relationship with that business.

Plikat started doing what most loggers do first when they go to work in the woods: setting chokers.

Growing up in the logging community of Camas Valley, Oregon, Plikat said there was no question what his career path would be.

“I grew up in a logging community, so what else was there to do?” he says. Today and every day, Wally Plikat gets to do something that he loves. “The best part about being a logger is the independence and being able to do what we need to do.”

From Three Pieces of Equipment to 90 Employees

Talking about when Plikat Logging first started, Plikat says, “It was hard knocks back

Wally Plikat says, “The best part about being a logger is the independence.” then,” referring to the company’s humble beginnings with a Washington 78 yarder, a 366 Bantam excavator, and a 350 Homelite chainsaw.

Compare that to today when during the peak logging season, Plikat Logging is a 90plus employee business capable of running five yarder sides and three ground-based operations.

In the early years, Plikat Logging was mainly a yarder-based operation. Four

yarders were added to logging operations during a seven-year period from the early 1980s to 1990. The first purchase was a 1983 Thunderbird PSY 200, followed by a TSY 50. There’s a special story behind the TSY 50: it was the second one of its type built by Ross Murray, and Plikat Logging bought it brand new in 1985.

“I bought it for dependability. They just run, and run, and run,” Plikat says of Thunderbird yarders. “They’re just bullet proof.”

ContractorProfile

Plikat Logging recent received the Southern Oregon Operator of the Year award, given annually by the Oregon Department of Forestry to companies that show how operators can both manage the forest and protect natural resources.

The last two yarders purchased in 1990 were a Thunderbird TTY 90 and a Madill 099.

It was also the late 1980s when Plikat Logging began to do ground-based logging using a D-6 Caterpillar and a 600 Prentice shovel. Four feller bunchers are also part of the logging equipment mix, three 2250 Madills and a John Deere. Plikat says his operators seem to enjoy the user-friendliness of the Madill machines.

Plikat Logging also runs a fleet of 24 trucks, both logging and low bed trucks. It’s a big plus for us to have our own trucks and lowboys too,” Plikat says.

“Sometimes we will be moving two sides at one time, and we don’t have to call someone and wait our turn. We can get the jobs cleaned up . . . and it makes things a whole lot simpler.”

Family Operation

Plikat Logging is a family operation including the next generation of family members. Currently Plikat’s daughter, son-in-law, and two sons are involved in the operations.

Wally’s son Jeff is a supervisor and son Terry is a contract timber faller. Daughter Stefanie runs the office at Plikat Logging, and son-in-law Steve Cummings is the side

rod of the logging operations. It is comforting for Wally Plikat to know that when he is ready to retire, the family business will continue.

Always Staying Safe

Safety is most definitely a top priority for Plikat Logging. The logging company has an in-house safety program and also relies on the safety expertise provided by logging associations.

Plikat says his safety director does safety meetings and teaches a first aid class for new (continue on page 10) A Link-Belt 4040 loading one of Plikat’s trucks.

The Plikat logging crew also attends meetings and classes to keep current on the issues in the logging industry.

Getting Youth Involved

One issue facing Plikat Logging, as well as the rest of the industry, is a shortage of younger workers getting involved. It is not at all like it was when Wally Plikat entered the industry straight out of high school.

Today, with an aging workforce in the logging industry, the challenge is to find members of the younger generation who want to work. And the problem isn’t the level of compensation, as Plikat Logging offers employees a generous wage and benefits package. “It just seems like many of the younger generation don’t really want to work,” Plikat says.

Southern Oregon Operator of the Year

One bright spot for Plikat Logging was its recent above-and-beyond efforts put into a logging job that earned it the Southern Oregon Operator of the Year award. The award is given annually by the Oregon Department of Forestry to companies that show how operators can both manage the forest and protect natural resources.

The demanding job was on a piece of private timberland west of Drain, Oregon, in the Brush Creek area. It was a job for Lone Rock Timber, a company with whom Plikat Logging has a long-term relationship. “They approached us, and we went and looked at

One of the challenges was a Class 1 fish-bearing stream, which the logs were “flown” over to avoid significant impacts.

Additionally, the job was downhill logging and involved yarding logs over long distances. Plikat used a TTY 70 yarder with a Bowman sky car in the operations.

Well-deserved Accolades

Based on this logging job, Lone Rock Timber representative Chris Arnold called Plikat Logging “one of the best loggers in the state.” He said Plikat was nominated because of the difficulty of the job, their willingness to take on the challenge, and the

results that show on the ground what a good job was done.

“Anyplace we go, we try to do a good job,” Plikat says, “and we’ve accomplished a lot of tough jobs in our career.”

Plikat said he intends to keep working in the logging industry for the foreseeable future. Another reason for his commitment to the industry is the caliber of people who are involved.

“I enjoy being around the other people in the industry,” he says. “We know each other . . . and we work together. If somebody breaks down or needs parts, we’re always there to help them or they help us. You don’t get that in a lot of other industries.”

ince its beginnings, Freres Lumber Company has thrived in spite of the wild rollercoaster ride of the lumber business. By investing in ingenuity and innovation, it has become one of the premier wood products manufacturing companies in the Pacific Northwest.

According to Rob Freres, the company’s executive vice president, Freres Lumber has embraced technology and “never quits upgrading,” in order to stay on the leading edge of efficiency and competition.

Founded by T.G. Freres in 1922, and currently managed by third-generation family members, the company has grown from a small, local sawmill to a diversified engineered wood products company producing green and dry veneer, high-quality sheathing, touch-sanded plywood panels, custom industrial and standard lumber products, chips, sawdust, and bark dust. $100 Million in Upgrades

Over the past 12 years, Freres Lumber, located in Lyons, Oregon, has spent nearly $100 million in plant upgrades. In 2016 alone, the company invested over $10 million on upgrades, which included replacing an ADCO West stud mill with a HewSaw Series R200 setup, which helped increase output and chip production. West Coast Industrial Systems Inc. of Lebanon, Oregon, provided engineering, procurement, and construction services to facilitate the HewSaw installation.

“We operate the HewSaw to process core from our veneer manufacturing operations and small-diameter timber approximately

Left to Right: Ted Freres, President; Kyle Freres, VP Operations; Rob Freres, Executive VP; and Tyler Freres, VP Sales. six inches and smaller in 8-foot, 9-foot, and 10-foot lengths,” explains Rob. “We produce custom industrial and standard lumber products to customer specifications. Our primary lumber products are variations of 2 x 3 through 4 x 6 dimensions. Examples of the wide variety of products that we can produce are landscape timbers, standard and better lumber for truss manufacturing, and heat-treated products for export packaging.”

Noting that their plants are now up to date, Rob says they may coast for about a year before upgrading other facilities.

“It gives our maintenance personnel a chance to troubleshoot and get the bugs out and make the plant run better,” he says.

“We saw similar production results in 2016, where we were producing the same as what we produced in the prior year—but we were able to achieve that production in only nine months versus a full year.

“We were running with far less overtime because our plants were running better. It’s all because the maintenance crews were able to concentrate on making our new installations perform at a higher level.”

Freres Lumber also replaced the crane rails under their Kone crane, built a new maintenance shop for the company’s rolling stock, installed a new AKI Grenzbach dryer, and purchased five new Kenworth tractors and trailers.

To help maintain top efficiency, the company operates over 30 highway trucks utilizing a combination of flatbed maxis, curtain vans, and chip trailers. Freres trucks deliver product throughout Oregon, Washington, and California and backhaul from various locations in the Northwest.

The company also fields 15 log haulers and an assortment of roadbuilding equipment used mainly for road reconstruction,

From waste wood to watts

The “upgrade” philosophy at Freres Lumber has also created other opportunities to diversify the product mix.

In 2007, Freres launched its Evergreen BioPower LLC subsidiary, which produces electricity as a byproduct of heat generated for the plant processing operations.

“It’s sort of like back to the future,” Rob Freres said. “We had a cogeneration plant back in the 1950’s when they were building the Detroit Dam to the east of us. When electricity was cheap and plentiful and reliable from the dam, we took out the co-gen plant.

“In 2005-06, natural gas went to $140 per megawatt. When it hit that price we had the residuals—bark, planer shavings and fines—so we had an internal supply of biomass,” he said. He added that they also had chip vans coming back empty from five different paper mills located in Eugene, Oregon and Longview and Camas Washington, which gave them the opportunity to pick up urban wood at a backhaul price to enhance the raw material they already had.

Because the new bio-power plant could be incentivized by energy tax credits from the State of Oregon and production tax credits for a about a penny a kilowatt from the federal government, the company decided to go ahead with biomass and build a new cogeneration plant.

Soon after the new co-gen plant went on line, the company started selling power to the local public utility. TW

The advancing technology can be used as an alternative to steel, concrete, and masonry in a variety of mid-rise and high-rise building types. Mass timber buildings are structurally sound and less expensive to construct.

Developers and governments have also noted that mass timber construction has significant environmental benefits, is fully renewable, and prevents pollution associated with the manufacturing of concrete and steel.

CLT is a wood panel consisting of three, five, or seven layers of dimension lumber oriented at right angles to one another. It is then glued together to form structural panels and is noted for its strength, dimensional stability, and rigidity. CLT has been used in Europe since the 1990s and is now gaining traction in North America.

Developed as an alternative to CLT, the idea of a mass plywood panel was first hatched in 2015.

Interest in the new mass timber technologies led brothers Kyle Freres (vice president of operations) and Tyler Freres (vice president of sales) to travel with professors and the forestry dean at Oregon State University to Hanover, Germany, to tour CLT plants and attend LIGNA, the largest wood products show in the world.

Prompted by what he learned during the trade show and subsequent tours of the CLT plants, Tyler led the charge to develop an alternative product.

“We have to give a lot of credit to Tyler,” Rob says. “Tyler hand made some of the material to be tested, researched it, and ultimately convinced us to move forward with the product.”

True to the company’s commitment to innovation, Freres Lumber began the process to develop the product.

The fact that MPP was a natural evolution of the company’s present manufacturing process and products was a major influence on the decision to create the product.

“Plywood is already cross-laminated— it’s how we make it,” says Rob. “We thought we could produce a superior product to CLT because it’s similar to how Trus Joist I-beams have replaced solid sawn 2 x 10s and 2 x 12s.

They can perform better with a fraction of the wood fiber without the squeaks and defects.

“CLT is low-production and deals with

MillProfile lots of pieces—2 x 6s and 2 x 8s— whereas we deal with large pieces of 4’ x 8’ panels that we scarf together,” he adds. “There’s also an issue of drying. CLT lumber needs to dry to lower moisture content than normal. Plywood does not have that problem. There’s less waste in using plywood rather than lumber.”

Specialty Veneers

Rob explains that using the specialty veneers they make now to produce a new product that others can’t make is a step in diversifying the company’s product mix. “We’re in the Douglas fir region. I don’t think other mills can manufacture what we’re going to make. It won’t have the same characteristics.

Southern pine may not have the strength properties of Doug fir. We’re playing to our strength and what we know best.”

The Freres’ veneer plants can efficiently and responsibly use second and third growth timber with a minimum 5-inch block diameter to produce engineered panels. Using the traditional plywood laminating process, natural defects within the log are engineered out of the raw material prior to constructing the mass panel. The compounded veneer layers, and the ability to engineer each individual layer, allow Freres to customize the panels to specific engineering needs.

Rob believes market conditions will also

“We will make a wide variety of products like columns, beams, rim-boards, and

long-length plywood in addition to floors and walls for tall buildings. We hope to make complete building packages. Our goal is to have greater pricing power, better margins, and greater stability in sales.”

The Drone Dummies Are Back

By Lindsay R. Mohlere

A

s soon as fire season started, so did the reports of drone incursions halting air asset activities across the West.

Drones Hamper Firefighting

Last year firefighting air ops in 12 states were shut down more than 20 times.

Unfortunately, this year seems to be ramping up to be a banner season for dimwits playing with their drones — and playing with fire.

According to the National Interagency Fire Center, as of July 11 this year, there have already been 17 documented drone incursions over or near wildfires in ten states — Washington, Oregon, Arizona, California, Nevada, Utah, Arkansas, New Mexico, and Texas. As a result, air operations have been temporarily grounded more than 14 times.

the season doesn’t bode well for the home stretch. Despite stiff federal guidelines and laws aimed at preventing this type of goofball behavior, the drone dummies continue to fly.

The nonprofit organization Tread Lightly! (started by the U.S. Forest Service in 1985) recently kicked off an outreach campaign to complement the Forest Service If You Fly, We Can’t program and promote responsible use of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV). This campaign, Respected Access is Open Access, addresses outdoor recreation issues and responsible use to protect and enhance public land access. Public service advertising, a web page, billboards, and digital media will be used to promote the program and hopefully smarten up a few numbskulls.

Big Bird and the Bogeyman

SuperTanker Services LLC was receiving its final safety and operation approvals from the FAA. Most in the know figured it was a slam dunk before this beast was certified by the Forest Service and set to action dropping up to 20,000 gallons of water or retardant all at once over a three-mile stretch, or at variable rates from its pressurized tanks.

Christened “The Spirit of John Muir,” and designated by the Interagency Tanker Board as Tanker 944, the big bird came on the scene at the end of fire season and was put on hold until certified by the Forest Service this year. Without ruffling a feather, it flew off to Israel to fight huge fires before it even dropped a drop of water in the USA. In January 2017, Tanker 944 was deployed to Chile to fight the raging inferno threatening to incinerate Santo Domingo and much more of the country. The tanker did fantastic work laying down threemile-long and 200-yard-wide blankets of

FireColumn fire retardant or water in one pass. Global SuperTanker has said the plane can be reloaded in less than 30 minutes and return to the fire line at 600 mph. In Chile, they had the turnaround down to 13 minutes.

This spring it looked like the Forest Service was going to commission the big bird and put it to work. But no!

With over 4.5 million acres in the U.S. already torched in 2017, the Forest Service sat on its thumbs and blocked contracting Tanker 944 because of a few bureaucratic brick walls rumored to be either environmental concerns or a dispersion pattern problem. At the time, the Forest Service wouldn’t say.

Seems to me, the Forest Service should have laid a big sloppy kiss on the “John Muir” when it came back from Chile. Instead, it ding-donged around for months while forests, homes, and a few lives were lost due to wildfire.

The good news is that they finally cleared the world’s biggest fire engine to fight wildfires in the U.S. As of July 25, the Forest Service entered into an 18-month temporary agreement that will allow the plane to fight fires on USDA lands if requested. It also means that states can get reimbursed if they contract with Global SuperTanker.

Currently, officials say the giant air tanker has contracts in California and one county in Colorado. With more than 17 wildfires burning in the Northwest alone, maybe Oregon and Washington ought to get onboard. I’d bet a couple of sorties over the eastern half of the Northwest would help a bunch.

In Memoriam

With a heavy heart, we send our condolences to the families and loved ones of Trenton Johnson and Brent Witham.

Johnson, a 19-year-old firefighter from Missoula, Montana, working for one of Oregon’s professional wildfire fighting companies, Grayback Forestry Inc., was killed when a tree top broke off and fell toward four firefighters who had just arrived at a lightning-caused fire burning along a ridge near Florence Lake in Montana’s Lolo National Forest. Three of the men were able to get clear, but Johnson did not.

The 29-year-old Witham died while working on the Lolo Peak fire burning southwest of Missoula. A tree that was being felled came down and struck him. He was a six-year veteran U.S. Forest Service firefighter from the San Bernardino Vista Grande Hotshots, stationed in the San Bernardino National Forest. (continue on page 22)

Taking It to the Extreme

Steve’s Extreme Excavation, Potlatch, Idaho

Link-Belt 3400 moving logs to create a stream meander — a vital step in fish mitigation work.

By Barbara Coyner

hen Steve Normington

talks about that first excavator he purchased, you’d think he was talking about his first crush.

Normington knew that the Link-Belt 3400 had been sold to Hansen Logging out of Harvard, Idaho, but he wanted it. “It was back in 1996, and it only had 34 hours on it right off the lowboy,” he says, noting that he did indeed manage to buy the machine and eventually spent seven years working for Hansen as a contractor.

“It has 21,000 hours on it now and has worked in four states: Washington, Idaho, Oregon, and Montana.” Although the 3400 is currently semi-retired, he credits it with showing him the full potential of an excavator.

A native of Potlatch, Idaho, Steve Normington grew up working for his dad, Dewey Normington, who operated Mountain Dew Logging. Steve and brother Bob were introduced to working in the woods before they hit their teens, and Steve cut his first timber at the age of 12 with a McCullock chainsaw. After working various

Steve Normington

ContractorProfile stints as a millwright at the old Edwards Mill in Princeton, a mechanic for Potlatch Corporation at Bovill, and thirteen years for Latah Tree Service, he branched out into his own logging enterprise, giving it the name Steve’s Extreme Excavation. The company performs a combination of road-building and logging activities, with the excavator as the tool of choice in both instances.

Taking on Extreme Jobs

But why “extreme” in the company name?

“We get all the jobs nobody wants to take on,” says Normington, who primarily works Potlatch Corporation jobs. “We get the dangerous stuff, the big slides, the jobs nobody wants. We go out and get ‘er done.”

Normington has a year-round gig going with Potlatch Corporation, based pretty much on how he logs—and that’s of course with an excavator. When he proposed his approach to Potlatch some years back, his whole goal was to keep his crew working through each season with no layoffs. Knowing the way Normington’s system works and appreciating the consistently high quality of the logs, Potlatch Corporation constantly keeps the 12-person crew busy through the normally slack winter and spring.

Teamwork

As for Normington’s system, it begins as crew member Jerry Ely cuts the 60-foot path and right-of-way with the Link-Belt 250 X3 excavator, while hand fallers take down the trees. As Normington pioneers the road, he hands off the tree lengths to Kyle Dixon, who is operating the Link-Belt 240 X2 excavator. Dixon decks the logs and cleans off the bank as he goes, with a dozer busy clearing off the road, making the 16-foot road width smoother.

Meanwhile Nick Fuller pilots the LinkBelt 330 X2 processor, delimbing and cleaning off the logs, cutting them to length, and grabbing the trees below. Steve’s brother Bob Normington is ready with the log loader, either the 2008 Link-Belt 240 LX, or the recently acquired 2011 Link-Belt 210 LX. The dozer lineup varies between a Komatsu D65, a Caterpillar D6, or a Komatsu D65 EX 17, with Steve Karr operating. Normington also has three log trucks and a lowboy to round out the equipment stable. He says it all works because of his seasoned crew.

“Logging with an excavator, you use that bucket and thumb, and you can feel how hard you are pressing the log,” Normington adds.

“It takes a gentle touch not to tear up the logs. Using this system, I can get eight to ten log loads a day. While other road builders are laid off, we’re still working. I talked Potlatch into it so I could keep my guys working.”

The Link-Belt processor has the reach he needs and the ability to quickly pick up the whole tree length and slide it through the chute, making it perfect for his logging system. Because the 330 X2 is a heavier

machine, it doesn’t bounce around.

Depending on Link-Belt for much of his equipment lineup is no accident, and Normington likes the reliability of the brand, as well as the service he gets from the dealer, Triad Equipment out of Spokane, Washington.

His crew does regular maintenance on all machines, but with computers onboard, remote repair is possible if necessary.

Mostly, though, Normington is sold on the handling, durability, and smoothness of the Link-Belts.

Excavator Logging

Logging with an excavator is not the usual game around the Palouse-Clearwater region, but Normington defends his choice. “The machine road-builds, but it can also deliver high log quality because it doesn’t tear up the logs, and it’s all about log quality. That’s the number one thing for Potlatch Corporation.

Out on his jobs, Normington keeps an eye on safety and overall appearance, and because road-building is a mainstay, he makes the roads wider with more turnouts. He’s likely built roads for every other Potlatch logging contractor in the area, and wife Cindy, who keeps the company’s books, says he’s choosy about making the most of each job.

Sometimes that means he will modify the road layout as first prescribed, looking at the grade, the soil composition, and wet spots.

“I like to make everything look good,” says Normington. “That’s why Potlatch likes me. They don’t have to come out and supervise.”

The 53-year-old logging contractor is especially proud of his culvert installations and says that one year he put in 6,000 feet of culverts, completing 11 installations in one day.

But the road-building and business expertise didn’t come overnight, and it’s that penchant for taking on the challenging jobs that got Normington his reputation. Some years back, a group of Northwest farmers was seeing land washed away in an area near sensitive streams and fisheries. Farmers, tribes, Bonneville Power, and other government entities developed a cost-share program, hiring Normington and his Link-Belt 3400 to go in and clean out 68 ponds and conduct other fishery mitigation work. Landowners developed a trust in his expertise as he and his excavator deftly placed rocks and root wads, created stream meanders, and designed fish weirs, all the while adhering to the complex fishery protection guidelines.

“Ninety percent of the time, I was in the water with my excavator, and it worked great. It was smooth with good power,” he says. “I just got the feel of it and got right in the middle of the creek—with permits, of course. That was 15 years ago. The work was easy enough on the machine, and we worked in rock pits and in streams. The farmers and ranchers liked the good clean job. It’s got my name on it, so I take pride in what I do and try to do it right the first time. I’ve been in excavators for 33 years, and it took practice to get to where I wanted to be.”

Practice means Normington and his crew have fine-tuned the art of road-building, as well as road obliteration. In the past, for example, he took on obliteration of seven miles of Forest Service roads in three weeks near Pierce, Idaho. Forest Service personnel liked what they saw, noting that the crew’s timely work saved the government a lot of money, meaning they could get even more road obliteration work done.

These days the extreme team stays almost strictly with Potlatch Corporation, building roads for a variety of company contractors as well as getting out their own logs—hauling into mills at St. Maries, Plummer, Lewiston, Grangeville, and Troy; the company sometimes also does work for private landowners.

Looking back over his time in the logging profession, Steve Normington carries a confidence based on years of hard work, hustle, and getting out there on the job with his crew. Surviving on five hours of sleep or less, and enduring back surgery in the past, he nevertheless puts tough standards on himself, assuming the same for his crew. And maybe that’s part of his “extreme” mantra.

“Steve has big expectations for himself and his crew,” Cindy says. “He really wants people to like what he does.”

Telematics Technology Technology Promises to Be a Game Changer for Forest Operations

By Andrea Watts

T

elematics technology has

revolutionized business operations, and we have come to depend upon real-time global positioning systems (GPS) in our daily lives, whether to track the status of a package, receive turnby-turn instructions while driving, or to know when the next bus will arrive. For the logging industry, however, the full potential of telematics technology has yet to be realized. Inside the cab of a state-of-the-art feller buncher, an operator can view a map of the harvest unit, but this is a superficial use of telematics technology—not when the use of real-time GPS could show the positions of hand fallers or when a skidder is

approaching the landing. And it’s these capabilities that University of Idaho researchers are currently evaluating with the goal of bringing them out to the jobsite.

“It seemed like a game changer for the industry on the production side and on the safety side, and just the general advancement in all the technology we use in logging,” explains Robert (Rob) Keefe, an assistant professor of Forest Operations and forest manager of the University of Idaho Experimental Forest, as the reason he decided to research the use of telematics technology on logging operations.

Challenges of Telematics Technology

In 2014, with assistance from Idaho’s Associated Logging Contractors Inc., Keefe received a three-year grant from the National Institute of Health and the CDC National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health to evaluate and develop tools that could help increase safety on the jobsite. Keefe says his team decided to focus on how current GPS systems and mobile devices could be integrated to display the real-time locations of workers and equipment.

There are a couple reasons why telematics technology hasn’t made inroads into the logging industry. One is that positioning software relies on access to the Internet, something

that’s hard to come by where there aren’t cell towers around.

Second, accurate GPS and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) locations rely on a clear line of sight to the overhead satellites, which isn’t possible when working under a conifer canopy. (GPS utilizes the American satellite system, while GNSS utilizes the global system.)

To learn whether contractors would want to integrate telematics technology into logging operations, and if so, what resources they would need, Keefe’s team surveyed and interviewed nearly 240 contractors participating in Idaho’s Professional Logger Certification Program.

Keefe says they learned that contractors recognize the safety applications, such as knowing where the hand fallers are working and whether a yarder operator can see if the rigging crew is in the clear before yarding logs up the hill. However, he says, “Some of the concern about [using] the applications is if the contractors start relying on it too much, and if the accuracy isn’t good, it could introduce problems.”

Another concern was whether this technology would interfere with their ability to

jobsites, because the technology seems to be developing a lot faster, and the systems are user friendly and work with cell phones.

Ann Wempe, a graduate student in Keefe’s lab, spent last summer on three cable logging operations in northern Idaho collecting positioning data on the chaser, the choker, the carriage, and on the loader to study the location accuracy of each system.

“GPS can be very varied in how reliable it is [in terms of accuracy of location], and canopy is a major concern,” Wempe explains.

The reason for this variability is due to multipath errors, caused by signals hitting trees or leaves before reaching a GPS receiver. On a jobsite, she says, this variability can result in over or underestimating the proximity of a crewperson to a hazard, which can be dangerous. It also means that some radios may work fine for equipment working in a clearcut, but not as well for the feller buncher cutting in the woods.

Currently she is analyzing the data to determine how accurate the systems were under canopy conditions, methods for improving accuracy, such as way stations, and whether Geo-fences, an invisible boundary that could be placed around unit boundaries or riparian areas for example, can be used on the jobsite to warn operators when they are getting close to these lines.

Keefe and his team are evaluating several different kinds of systems that can be used in logging. Among the deliverables that Keefe and his team decided to create is an app that operators could download to a mobile phone or tablet that could display the locations of every person and piece of equipment on the jobsite in real time while working in the woods. In addition, they will provide documentation of how off-the-shelf GPS systems, such as Garmin and goTenna, performed on active logging operations so contractors could decide which system would work best with their operations and budget.

Last year the team tested off-the-shelf systems to learn their limitations and capabilities when placed on equipment or worn by a crewperson on active logging operations. Of the systems selected for further testing, Keefe says they are focused on technology that uses radio signals, similar to two-way radios that are already used on

Another project deliverable is using realtime GPS/GNSS to create activity profiles of each piece of equipment, and this is the focus of Ryer Becker’s research. Becker is also a graduate student in Keefe’s lab. By collecting a machine’s positioning data throughout the work day, such as where the machine traveled or how many times it swung its arm, Becker says he can create a daily activity profile that details the approximate production of board feet brought to the landing—as it happens—and even the cost of operating the machine or system versus what was produced.

Last summer on one logging operation with Jessie Hunt Logging, based out of Kamiah, Idaho, Becker recorded the number of trees felled by the operator and the number of times the arm swung. At the end of the day, he was able to show the operator how he moved through the stand on the screen. “It was interesting for the operator because it was something that he otherwise wouldn’t be too aware of,” Becker says.

Keefe and his team aren’t alone in recognizing the value of real-time GPS/GNSS on logging operations. Scott Kuehn, a forester with Missoula-based Salmon River Wood, approached Keefe with a logging operation problem that he knew real-time GPS/ GNSS could solve.

make decisions. Keefe recognizes that these are important concerns but says that the goal of using real-time GPS/GNSS isn’t to take away from the experience that operators bring to the job, rather to give them more information. “It’s really about the logger having more awareness of the situation,” he says.

TechnologySpotlight Kuehn’s company works on U.S. Forest Service sales that require the mapping out of skid trails prior to beginning the operation. This stipulation is because of a lawsuit that requires the Forest Service to demonstrate they are minimizing soil disturbance.

“We spend days and days running ribbons on the hillside so the Forest Service can approve our skid trails,” Kuehn says, adding, “It kills us timewise.” It also poses a safety risk for the crew in areas of heavy blowdown or where there is a potential for falling snags.

Kuehn investigated the GPS systems

available on the marketplace and found nothing that would meet his needs. He learned of Keefe’s research through their connection with the Intermountain Logging Conference and reached out to Keefe who saw the merit of solving the issue with realtime GPS/GNSS. This summer, Wempe and Becker will work with Kuehn to determine if they can improve the signal’s accuracy under closed canopy conditions.

Kuehn says that although the Forest Service is open to considering other mapping methods to meet the skid trail requirements,

“whatever system we go to has to be good because it will be tested for the first time on the job.”

Kuehn’s mapping application isn’t the only additional use that Keefe’s team is finding for real-time GPS/GNSS as they are analyzing the data. “There’s a lot things we take for granted [as far as logging operations] because they’ve been done for a certain way for a long time,” Keefe explains, “but just the way a processor operator, a skidder operator, or a shovel operator interact, if they can visualize what’s going on a bit better, it may help them make other decisions as they’re working.” He uses the example of the processor being able to adjust the timing of cleaning up the landing if the operator knows when the skidder will actually arrive rather than estimating.

Toolkit in 2017

This fall, Keefe anticipates rolling out a toolkit that will detail which systems work best under certain circumstances, their cost, and how contractors can implement the technology on the jobsite. This toolkit will include a phone-based app that Eloise Zimbelman, also a graduate student in Keefe’s lab, is developing. She says her goal is to create an app that could download a map onto a smartphone or tablet, and if everyone has an inexpensive transmitting device available from goTenna technologies, it would be possible to see everything on the map moving in real time, tailored to forest operations.

Part of designing this app requires “deciding how simple versus how complex we want the app to be; as simple as having a map and showing the points or more advanced being able to show a Geo-fence around the harvest unit,” Zimbelman explains. “We really want it to be as user friendly as possible so more people are likely to use it.” Keefe emphasizes that making their resources user friendly is a priority. “That’s something we hear from loggers again and again. User friendly is really important.”

Keefe and the team are excited about the future of telematics technology and logging.

“The possibilities are endless as to how we can use [this technology] to improve efficiency and safety and just general awareness on operations,” he says. Contractors will be instrumental in the future development because they provide suggestions, says Keefe, “From having a dot that shows where seed trees were laid down in an overstory removal, to the skidder operator seeing a heat map of which trees were cut first by the feller buncher.”

Tigercat Celebrates Silver Anniversary

Starting out in 1992, as a small company with a single prototype and no distribution, Tigercat has come a long way in just 25 years.

“We began designing the 726 in the fall of 1991 with a goal to have it completed and ready to exhibit at a live, in-woods show in Quitman, Georgia, in April 1992. Although lacking some finishing touches, such as finding a location for the batteries, which we had temporarily secured with bungee cords under the engine, we loaded it on a truck and set out for the southeast USA,” explains Tigercat president Tony Iarocci.

Don Snively, now district manager for the southern U.S., toured the prototype machine around the United States for forty days until a logger took a leap of faith, and the machine found a home at Williston Timber in north Florida.

To commemorate the silver anniversary, Tigercat took the prototype machine in trade from Williston Timber so it could return home, be restored, and live on for decades to come. www.tigercat.com

STEEP SLOPE HARVESTING. THE PERFECT COMBINATION. Don’t settle for anything less than the perfect combination for steep slopes. The robust Tigercat 5195 directional felling saw is a perfect match for the quick, agile and powerful LS855D shovel logger. This versatile carrier-head combo is much more than a shovel logger. It can fell and pre-bunch oversize timber in steep terrain and can shovel log the most challenging parts of the cut block – forwarding wood to easier ground at the lowest cost per ton.

Pacific Logging Congress Sets Date

Every four years, the PLC hosts an inwoods live demonstration of the latest forestry equipment and technology. During the event, it sets one day aside to host and educate middle school and high school students — the next generation of foresters and operators.

The date for the 8th In the Woods Show has been scheduled for September 13 - 18, 2018. It will be held at the OSU Research Forest in Corvallis, Oregon.

Full Ninth Circuit Declines to Hear White Castle Appeal

The AFRC reported that on July 19, the Ninth Circuit denied the petition for rehearing of the decision to dismiss the appeal of the White Castle case. AFRC attorneys, led by Scott Horngren, filed the petition on behalf of Scott Timber Co. and Carpenters Industrial Council.

Scott Timber purchased the timber sale and Carpenters is the union at the mill. The White Castle project would harvest only 187 acres and would not result in a take of any spotted owls. Nevertheless, the U.S. District Court found an EIS was required. The only

remaining step in the legal process, which is under consideration, is to file a petition for certiorari with the United States Supreme Court.

The deadline to file a petition for certiorari is October 17. The Supreme Court usually takes 60 to 90 days to decide whether to take a case.

AFRC Attorneys to Defend Singletary DNR Sale

AFRC’s Lawson Fite reported that the AFRC and Sierra Pacific Industries, represented by Miller Nash attorney’s Diane Meyers and Elaine Spencer, were granted intervention on June 30 in the lawsuit regarding the Singletary DNR timber sale near Gold Bar, Snohomish County, Washington.

Several environmental groups filed suit in May, unsatisfied with partial reconveyance that had already reduced the sale by 21 acres and 7.4 MMBF and deprived beneficiaries of $1,140,000 in trust revenue. Plaintiffs allege violations of the Public Lands Act, Forest Practices Act (FPA), and the Washington State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).

The Public Lands Act claim asserts the board did not act in the best interests of the state. The FPA claim alleges there is no valid

Forest Practices Application. Under SEPA, plaintiffs allege the reconveyance requires new SEPA analysis and/or invalidates the prior SEPA analysis. The parties agreed to an expedited resolution schedule, with briefing completed on July 28. The hearing was scheduled for August 10 in front of Snohomish County Superior Court Judge Millie Judge.

Biopesticide-based pest control strategies

By Jack Petree

N

orth America’s forests are under siege; attacked by armies of insects, clouds of fungal spores, and battalions of bacteria infecting and killing millions of trees each year with more of the same on the way, courtesy of a global economy.

Traditional weapons in the battle for the forests have often involved the spraying of synthetic chemicals to control dangerous pests. In many areas, intense social resistance to the use of those chemicals has meant untreated forests, so the pests live on to infect or re-infect healthier woodlands. Bugs have also learned to live with synthetic chemicals; chemical resistant strains survive, evolve, and become immune to treatments that killed their forebears. Drought conditions weaken trees and make them defenseless against pests looking for a home.

New kinds of warfare based on new breeds of biopesticides are, however, allowing for optimism that the battle to preserve the forests can be won. Landowners, sawmilling companies, harvesting contractors, environmental activists, and anyone else depending on the health of the world’s forests would do well to support efforts like those currently underway at the U.S. Forest Service (USFS) to promote the creation and implementation of biopesticide-based pest control strategies in America’s woodlands.

Biopesticides

Biopesticides are derived from animals, plants, bacteria, and minerals found in nature. The well-known pesticide neem, an oil derived from the seeds of a plant native to the Indian subcontinent, is one example.

The past two decades have seen a surge of interest in biopesticides, especially in agriculture because most of the newly developed pesticides can be targeted to specific pests (Many, if not most, chemical pesticides kill good bugs as well as bad.). Most of the newly developed biopesticides are also environmentally benign in most respects; overspray into wetlands and other sensitive areas is usually not a problem for fish and species other than the targeted bug. That surge, expedited by EPA’s simplified registration process for the “natural” products has resulted in acceptance for the marketplace of a total of 299 registered biopesticide active ingredients 74

and 1,401 active biopesticide product registrations. By all accounts, hundreds more are in the research, development, and registration stages.

The biopesticides being created today are a far cry from the natural bug killers that have been in use for decades, or even centuries, in agriculture. Today scientists labor away in laboratories researching the genomes of specific pests and their natural enemies. Researchers work at the molecular level to discover how plants and their pests interact and, more importantly, to develop pathogens toxic to specific pests.

The Forest Service Has Taken Notice

The Forest Service has taken notice of the expanding interest in biopesticides, establishing a Forest Health Technology Enterprise Team (FHTET) to manage information regarding the use of biopesticides in sensitive forests and to encourage further development of effective biopesticides. https://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/technology/ biopest.shtml Biopesticides that the Forest Service has already had a hand in establishing for use in North America’s forests include products designed to reduce or eliminate gypsy moth, Douglas-fir tussock moth, the emerald ash borer, and hemlock woolly adelgid infestations. They have also contributed to developing approaches for controlling the spread of invasive plant species.

The 15-year-old Biological Products Industry Alliance also points to some of the new biological products that are useful in promoting forest health. Bacillus thuringiensis kurstaki (strain ABTS-351), is a naturally occurring bacterium that is toxic only to caterpillars and when ingested, leads to

death within two days. “This active ingredient has minimal environmental impact and will not harm other types of insects, fish, birds, or mammals,” according to the alliance. “Nucleopolyhedrosis virus (NPV) is a naturally occurring virus highly selective to gypsy moth. The virus is ingested, then destroys the internal organs of the insect.

These applications have been noted to be highly effective against small gypsy moth caterpillars.”

With industry support, the Forest Service, in cooperation with forest-product-related associations, pesticide producing companies, and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), is likely to continue to bring new products to the marketplace. If gypsy moths, and emerald ash borers, can be attacked with specific biopesticides, there is no reason pine beetles, budworms, and other pests cannot be controlled as well.

While a new industry in terms of market penetration, the biopesticide industry (including agriculture, forestry, and other sectors) is not only substantially outpacing the conventional chemical industry’s growth, it is projected to gain ground even more rapidly than has already been the case.

DunhamTrimmer LLC, a leading international market research firm focusing exclusively on the global biological and natural product plant protection and plant health market sector, projects the global market for biopesticides —a market with sales of only $250 million at the turn of the century, and sales exceeding three billion dollars in 2016— will pass the five billion dollar mark in 2020. “I can tell you that our market projections see the global market exceeding $11 billion by 2025,” reports Mark Trimmer, one of the company’s principals.

Driven by pressure from activists across the special-interest spectrum and with support from the U.S. EPA, growth in the use of biopesticides is likely to be not only desired, but required, in the near future. The forest products industry should add its support to the movement toward the “new” approaches to pest management. The advantages are potentially great while the downsides appear to be negligible.
