Section G. Other Measurement Applications subsection 4. Salvage Timber there is the following statement " There are no deductions for undersize, defect or cull logs when measuring salvage timber." This is a disincentive to salvage even with a 70% reduction more stumpage will be paid when using a chipping operation. As the operations in Fire or blown down are more costly to begin with having this disincentive does not contribute sustainability and wise use of a crown resource.
