ATTACHMENT 3: PROPOSED ACTIONS BY STAND UNIT FOR MESABI
Table 3.1 displays the proposed treatment by individual stand unit for the Mesabi Project Area. This table provides information on unit acres and existing forest type for each stand. The table also includes primary treatments; in other words those treatments that would occur first. There are follow-up treatments proposed for some stands which are identified as secondary treatments or reforestation. Use of proposed herbicide use is also noted. To reach the desired condition all proposed treatments would be needed for each stand.
