Dear Tiffany E. Williams,
Attached please find the Notification of Timber Harvest Form and a Timber Harvest Map
regarding a project Hull Forest Products, Inc. plans to conduct on approximately 50 of the 57.06
acres on property West of 163 owned by Lynette Crowley Et Al. This operation is a selection
with group selection timber harvest. The property boundaries have been identified in with pink
ribbon and the trees to be harvested have been marked with blue paint marks at eye level. This
harvest will be conducted as a conventional cut to length operation where the marked trees will
be felled and a forwarder will be used to transport the merchantable logs to a landing area
proposed road side on gay hill road, there they will be hauled off site via log truck. The tops of
the trees and residual branches will be slashed in place to within three feet of the forest floor.
There are two drainage crossings associated with this harvest which will be identified in the field
with four blue paint marks. Temporary timber bridges and/or corduroy will be installed as
needed to stabilize the crossings during the operation. It is estimated two months of good
working weather will be required to complete this project.
We understand the sensitivity of this site and all Best Management Practices regarding Timber
Harvesting as adopted by the CT DEEP will be strictly adhered to. It is our understanding that
this type of agricultural activity is permitted as a Use of Right and hope that upon your review
you will find the same. Please contact me if there is any other information you may need or if
you would like to visit the site together.
Respectfully Submitted,
Austin Burrows
