CHAPTER 2470 - SILVICULTURAL PRACTICES
2477.22 - Sale Area Improvement Plans. Sale Area Improvement Plans (SAI) should be
developed along with the timber sale appraisal to reflect the accomplishment of those post sale
activities deemed necessary through the environmental analysis. A map will be prepared that
indicates the areas on which treatment is planned. This map and the completed Sale Area
Improvement and K-V Collection Plan (Form FS-2400-50), will be the sale area betterment plan
for the sale, and will be maintained in the sale folder(s) until the sale is closed.
SAI plans will be developed for all timber sales where sale area improvement projects will be
needed. K-V dollars will not be collected for Forestwide personal use fuelwood permits.
Districts may develop individual K-V collection plans for sales of miscellaneous forest products
if the specific location of the sale is designated on a forest map, with the projects noted, and a
SAI and K-V plan included and approved.
The amount of money available for initial K-V expenditures (prior to bidding) is calculated by
estimating the total sale value (advertised rate x volume) minus the minimum deposits to NFF
($.25/CCF) minus the purchaser road credit. After award of the timber sale, the K-V plan can be
modified to reflect the previously unfinanced needs covered by the new total sale value (bid rate
x volume).
Review and revise all SAI plans annually. After the sale is closed, the SAI plan should be
maintained until all planned work is completed.
