Pipeline Project Permits - Wood Storage Area

Wood Storage Area

Any large project which requires the clearing of land may result in the removal of merchantable timber resources. Depending on the timing of the project, it may be necessary to store the wood harvested prior to final disposition. Therefore, a timber storage area must be selected on stable terrain which does not interfere with the progress and accessibility of the pipeline project.
