made-up of seedlings, saplings, grass, forbs or
shrubs.
Approximately 20 percent of the forested acres in the planning area (5,220 acres) are identified as
ponderosa pine LOS stage 6 with an additional approximately 2 percent or approximately 644 acres in LOS
stage 7. This meets the criteria for Scenario A under the Eastside Screens because there is less LOS stage 7
(single-story) within the planning area boundary than there would have been historically. Approximately
13 percent of the forested acres in the planning area (approximately 3,384 acres) are identified as lodgepole
pine LOS (stages 5 and 6). Table 3-39 summarizes existing LOS conditions within the planning area.
