Ash and any remaining <br />woody debris shall be dispersed by the Contractor, and the area shall be thoroughly raked prior to seeding. <br />x Biochar kilns are designed to process woody material <4" in diameter and not exceeding 4 ft in length. Any material within burn piles <br />that does not meet this requirement will need to be processed by the Contractor on site to meet these specifications or will be the <br />Contractor's responsibility to be removed from the area on the site that is to be seeded. <br />x Once ignited, material can be added on top of burning pile within the kiln until coals are within 1 ft of the top of the kiln; larger (up to 4” <br />diameter) material will char best during the middle stages of the burn. A 100 gallon or larger pressurized water tank and hose should <br />be on site, as the burned material must be quenched with water once the material is no longer producing visible flames within the kiln. <br />Off-site removal conducted by Contractor <br />x All trees harvested from the project area can be chipped and removed from the site. Trees can either be hauled directly off site or <br />chipped and hauled off site. <br />x Contractor may remove chips off-site to compost facility to control on-site nutrient cycling. <br />Goat Browsing Requirement <br />x Restoration will be conducted using prescribed grazing with Boer, Boer-cross, Spanish, Savanna, Kiko, or similar meat goat breeds. <br />Standard size dairy goats may be added but may not constitute more than half of the goat herd. <br />x No long-haired or miniature goat breeds can be used. <br />x Goat herds must be comprised of mixed-aged goats, meaning a herd cannot be comprised of all young of the year goats.
