The silvicultural Rules of each forest District and the Act contain basal Stocking Standards to be met following the completion of a Timber Operation. The following procedure shall be used to determine if these Stocking standards have been met: One or more basal area factors suitable for determining Stocking shall be used. The same basal area factor shall be used on all of the plots on a Sampling Area. A Countable Tree for basal area is described in PRC § 4528. If each plot has a minimum basal area equal to or greater than that specified in § 1071(a), or as required by the Rules if different, then the plot shall be counted as stocked.
