 Arkansas High Risk Boundary Layout – UAP contracted with International Paper to mark a one mile safety buffer surrounding a World War II era bombing range. GIS data was provided by IP and uploaded into TimberMark’s GPS navigational system to complete the layout. The entire perimeter distance of 20 miles and was completed in just 4 hours. Pre-commercial thinning Layout (PCT) - Over the past 3 years, more than 12,000 acres of PCT layout has been accomplished for various industrial and non-industrial landowners. Minnesota Fuels Reduction Layout - UAP was contracted by the Red Lake DNR Forestry Dept. to delineate and mark wind damaged forest stands on the Red Lake Reservation. The work consisted of marking the boundaries of a fuels reduction project near the Northern boundary of the Red Lake Indian Reservation. GIS data was provided by Red Lake and uploaded into TimberMark’s GPS navigational system to delineate the fuel reduction areas. For more information you can contact project manager, Joe Harris, at the Red Lake DNR Forestry office (218) 766-9345 Hunting Lease Boundary Layout – Utilizing TimberMark’s marking technology, UAP contracted with Potlatch Woodlands, to delineate boundaries on new hunting leases. GIS data was provided by Potlatch prior to layout. New York Fort Drum 2003 – UAP was contracted by the US Government to use TimberMark’s airborne technology to mark range safety boundaries using environmentally approved tree marking paint (minimum one year duration). Painted marks were 20 feet long alternating with 50 foot spacing between each mark. The overall project line length was 6500 meters. Additionally, through the use of GIS uploaded data, TimberMark delineated perpendicular hash marks at predefined intervals (3450, 4100, & 6500 meters) from the starting point. For more information please contact Joe Donnelly at the Fort Drum military installation in upstate New York (315 772-6105) Fort Drum 2004 - Aerial Marking and Herbicide Treatment on 223 acres (5 blocks) within the Fort Drum Impact Area. TimberMark was used to delineate 5 areas within the Impact Area. All wetland/sensitive areas were also delineated as “no-spray” areas. A preflight before herbicide application was essential to provide the assurance that areas were delineated correctly. After the preflight, the herbicide application was performed at a total volume rate of 15 gallons per acre, with a prescription of 5 quarts of Accord Concentrate (Glyphosate) and 1 quart of Timberland 90 (adjuvant) per acre. The herbicide application was accomplished in the afternoon after the blocks were delineated in the morning. Fort Drum 2005 - Aerial Marking and Herbicide Treatment on 30 acres within the Fort Drum Impact Area. TimberMark was used to delineate 5 areas within the Impact Area. All wetland/sensitive areas were also delineated as “no-spray” areas. A preflight before herbicide application was essential to provide the assurance that areas were delineated correctly. The herbicide application was accomplished in the afternoon after the blocks were delineated in the morning. Fort Drum 2006 - Aerial Marking and Herbicide Treatment on approximately 700 acres on former Air Force Range 35. TimberMark was used to delineate the boundaries and wetlands prior to spraying. All wetland/sensitive areas were also delineated as “no-spray” areas. After the preflight, the herbicide application was performed at a total volume rate of 15 gallons per acre, with a prescription of 5 quarts of Accord Concentrate (Glyphosate) and 1 quart of Timberland 90 (adjuvant) per acre. The herbicide application was accomplished in the afternoon after the blocks were delineated in the morning. For more information please contact Mr. Thomas Lent at the Fort Drum military installation in upstate New York (315)-772-8056. North Carolina Wetlands Layout - Mildred Woods Wetlands Mitigation Layout for the North Carolina Department of Transportation. The Regulatory Agencies (Corps of Engineers, Division of Water Quality, EPA, etc.) decided that in order for the North Carolina Department of Transportation to get wetland restoration credit at the Mildred Wood mitigation site, they would have to complete the removal of nuisance tree species. The application technique on this site required removing trees by girdling and cutting. Due to the lack of a visible ground boundary, TimberMark used NC DOT’s existing GIS information to delineate the 200 acre site. “I never imagined how well you would be able to see the lines on the ground. The contractor has had no problems determining where to go and has been moving along very well. Again, I really appreciate the help and I’ll be sure to pass this along to others who may need this type of application” quote by Jason Elliott – project manager For more information please contact Mr. Jason Elliott, Wetland Mitigation Coordinator at (919)-861-3779. Salvage Sale Boundary Layout – Aerial Timber Marking, Siskiyou National Forest, Grants Pass, OR. The purpose of this marking project was to support the Biscuit Fire Recovery Implementation Team by recovering the timber values contained in the dead trees. UAP contracted with the USFS to mark (paint) and map (GPS record) timber salvage sale boundaries using TimberMark. The project size was approximately 1200 acres, which equated to approximately 200,000 linear feet. For more information please contact Brian Marrs, USDA Forest Service, Rogue River Siskiyou National Forest, Grants Pass, OR, (541) 471-6523 Streamside Management Zone (SMZ) & Stand Delineation – UAP contracted with International Paper in Sussex, County Virginia to paint lines along SMZ’s and forest stands prior to harvesting. Utilizing sub meter “real-time” GPS technology, each edge of the SMZ was flown, buffered, mapped and marked using TimberMark’s airborne technology. Upon completion of the SMZ layout, International Paper provided GIS data that was uploaded into the GPS navigation system to delineate Pine plantations. Timber Salvage Layout – The Gilman tornado destroyed approximately 3000 acres on the Medford/Park Falls District in the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest in central Wisconsin. UAP was contracted by the USFS to layout several miles of damaged forest stands utilizing TimberMark. GIS data was provided by the USFS and uploaded into TimberMark’s GPS navigational system to delineate the salvage areas. For more information contact project manager, Dan Vuchetich, at the Medford/Park Falls District office (715)–762-5168 ext. 168
