    The reading passage describes that due to the damage that occurs in forests as a result of fires and storms through the northwestern of the United States, a technique known as salvage logging is developed. It has beneficial effects on both forests and economy. First, fire cause the death of trees that if they are not removed, there will be no vacant places for new ones.

    The subtitle D disposal is significantly more expensive than a regular clean soil disposal facility. 6. RATIOS AND ANALYSIS The 80/20 Rule This test states that 80 percent of the cost will lie in 20 percent of the line items. Different estimates will have different cost drivers. Those items that will have the most significant cost impact should be examined in detail to confirm they are being correctly estimated. Validating by Benchmarking There should be historical data available from past projects from which to compare back and ‘sniff test’ against. Quick high level conceptual estimating techniques may be used to ‘sanity check’ the costs such as, “we have done 3 similar projects which were at $14/SF all in at the end of the day”. If large deltas are discovered, then a more thorough inspection of the detail would need to be carried out. This can be a quick and fairly efficient way to check. 7. MISCELLANEOUS PERTINENT INFORMATION:  Cubic yards may be converted to cubic meters by multiplying the cubic yards by 0.7646.  Rain makes the soil unsuitable for backfill and may require water to be pumped.  Soils report for soil conditions will dictate method of excavation that must be used.  Deep excavation will require shoring, trench box or over excavation.  Is there an adequate area to store excavated material if needed?  Water table should be known and addressed if high enough to cause problems.  Overhead power lines should be identified and…

However, the minimum number of the horizontal cross braces, either screw jacks or timbers, required for each pair of uprights shall be determined by the number of 4-foot zones or segment into which the depth of the trench may be divided, yet in no case shall be less than two cross braces or jacks. Further, pre planning will reduce the chance of an accident and protect people nearby work site and maintenance operator from falling into the excavation, and it will protect them from possible exposure of atmospheric hazards in the excavation as well (such as leaking gas lines or storage tanks) and define how maintenance operator will get in and out of the excavation safely.
