FOREST MANAGEMENT
DEDUCTIONS
(10 Fund)
The Bureau of Indian Affairt is required
to withhold 10 of Ihe receipts received for
limber harvested from Indian trust land
(25CFR 163.18). These withholds are termed
"Forest Management Deductions". In 1972,
Ihe Bureau adopted procedures which al
lowed ihete Forest Management Deductions
to be used to reimburse the tribct lhat expend
fundi in the management of their forest re
sources. Expenditures programmed lomanage and
or improve any natural resource found in the
forest qualify for this reimbursement. In
addition, programs lo train or educate Tribal
members to assume more management re
sponsibility of their Forestry program would
qualify. Any Forest Management Deduction
funds not expended on forest management
work within five years of collection would be
deposited into the Federal treasury as miscel
laneous receipts.
To receive reimbursement for expenses
incurred in their forest management program,
the Tribe needs to submit a budget 10 Ihe
Bureau identifying these program expenses.
This budget needs to be supported by an
approving resolution from the Tribe. After
these documents are submitted to the Bureau,
the Tribe is eligible to receive reimburse
ment for their budgeted expenditures.

MANAGEMENT DEDUCTION
BUDGET
FOREST RESOURCE INVENTORY
AND PLANNING
This budget is again placing a high prior
ity on Forest Resource Inventory and Plan
ning. In 1996, 50,000 acres of forest stand
exams were completed, litis year funding is
requested to complete another 25,000 acres.
This will further improve our data base as we
prepare our mid-course correction calcula
tions for the IRMP. Our strategy is lo accom
plish the following projects:
1. 6,000 acres of formal ttand examina
tions. 2. 19,000 acres of walk-through stand
examinations.
3. Input stand examination data into the
vegetation layer in the Tribal Geographical
Information System (GIS).
4. Continue to update the Timber Re
source Inventory Model (TRIM )
with specific stand information for timber
sale planning purposes.
5. Purchase needed supplies to begin work
on the remeasurcment of the Continuous
Forest Inventory (CFI) plots.
6. Acquire the Stand Inventory System
program to improve efficiency and increase
accuracy of stand volume calculations.
7. Acquire satellite photos to provide cur
rent forest inventory information for use in
the mid-course correction work.
AMOUNT BUDGETED $146,800
REFORESTATION
The objective of the planting program is
to regenerate all even-aged harvest units and
other forested areas lhat are under-stocked or
inadequately stocked.
In 1997, these funds will plan' approxi
mately 727 acres with 327,000 seedlings.
Stocking surveys are done in the 1 st, 2nd,
and 6th year on every plantation, or until the
plantations are certified as regenerated.
In 1997, stocking surveys will be done on
approximately 11,280 acres. Most of this
work is now done by Tribal member contrac
tors. Down payments will be made for seed
lings grown in nurseries and scheduled for
field planting in 1998 and 1999.
The planting program will continue to
utilize the Forest Crew and to solicit addi
tional interest from more Tribal members in
contracting this type of work.
AMOUNT BUDGETED $175,300
JEFFERSON & SLMNASHO FIRE REFOR
ESTATION
Every effort is being made to acquire
Federal funds to cover the reforestation costs
from last summer's major fires. However,
this line item is being established to cover
any reforestation costs that may not be cov
ered by Federal funds. We believe it is very
important to get trees re-established on this
ground and having these contingency funds
available will ensure it happens in a timely
manner.
AMOUNT BUDGETED $374,500
SITE PREPARATION
The purpose of the site preparation pro
gram is remove excess logging slash andor
competing vegetation to allow the area to be
planted. This year we are planning to accom
plish this by:
Burning 125 acres of logging slash, and
piling brush and vegetation on 1000 acres.
In addition, 300 acres will be scarified
with a forest cultivator to encourage natural
regeneration.
Approximately three quarters of this pro
gram will be paid for with federal funds.
AMOUNT BUDGETED $100,000
SEED PROCUREMENT AND IM
PROVEMENT The genetic tree improvement program is
well established and is currently recognized
as one of the best Tribal programs in the
nation. During 1997 the majority of opera
tions will center around maintenance of our6
evaluation plantations, 2 seed orchards, and
