Line 1 - Insect and Disease Detection. The purpose of detection surveys conducted by trained personnel on a planned and systematic basis is to discover and delineate infestations of forest insects and disease. a. Include only detection surveys documented in accordance with FSM 3415. Do not report unplanned surveillance as a part of detection. For example, do not report accomplishment for discovering an insect or disease outbreak during the course of timber cruising, fire reconnaissance, or routine travel. (1) Consider ground checks conducted after an aerial survey to verify the identity of a problem to be a part of the aerial survey. (2) Do not include miscellaneous forest, ornamental, or shade-tree assistance as detection. b. Report the number of detection surveys conducted and the gross acreage of host-type surveyed. Sampling surveys often are used in conducting detection activities. Reportable acreage includes the total forested area sampled, not just the acreage included in the sample plots. If there are several surveys over the same acreage, report the total acreage covered by each survey. Do not include an insect or disease identification number for this activity. 2. Line 2 - Insect and Disease Evaluation. Biological evaluations are planned appraisals of forest insects and diseases, performed by trained personnel to determine the need, feasibility, or justifiction for prevention and/or suppression. Biological evaluations may or may not include benefit-cost and environmental analyses. When they are included, do not count benefit-cost and environmental analyses separately but consider them as part of one evaluation. Biological evaluations do not include the specific delineation of treatment area boundaries; report these as part of insect and disease pretreatment survey (line 6). Include only biological evaluations documented in accordance with FSM 3421. When it is necessary to evaluate two or more life stages at different times of the year in order to reach a decision for or against suppression, consider each stage evaluated as a separate evaluation as long as a written report documents each evaluation. Do not include miscellaneous forest, ornamental, or shade tree assistance as an evaluation. Do not include an insect or disease identification number for this activity. Report the number of evaluations conducted and the gross forested acreage evaluated. If there are several evaluations conducted over the same acreage, report the gross acreage of host-type evaluation for each biological evaluation conducted. When an evaluation includes both aerial and ground phases in the same area, do not report duplicate acreage. 3. Line 3 - Training: Pesticide-Use, Management, and Coordination. Report the number of persons trained in the use, management, and coordination of pesticides whether or not the training leads to certification. The persons trained include the reported unit as the staff receiving training as well as the number of people for whom the staff provided the training. Do not enter an insect or disease identification number for this activity. 4. Line 4 - Training: Insect and Disease. The reportable training includes, but is not limited to, recognition of insect- and disease-caused damage, survey and evaluation techniques and prevention and suppression methods. Report the number of people on the reported unit's staff that receive training as well as the training provided by the staff to land managers and others. Do not enter an insect and disease identification number for this activity. 5. Line 5 - Monitoring of Silviculture Exams and Prescriptions (National Forest System Lands Only). This activity reports Forest Pest Management's involvement in providing information for silvicultural exams or for reviewing such exams to ensure that they include insect and disease considerations. Do not confuse this activity with training (line 4) although there may be an element of training involved. This activity also reports Forest Pest Management's review of silvicultural prescriptions to ensure that prescriptions are preventive in nature, provide the expected results, and do not lead to unacceptable pest-caused damage. Report the number of exams and prescriptions reviewed and the acres involved. 6. Line 6 - Insect and Disease Pretreatment Survey. Pretreatment surveys include activities performed after completion of a careful analysis of biological, environmental, and benefit-cost evaluations and after there has been a decision about whether or not to initiate prevention or suppression action. More than one pretreatment survey per year may be necessary, particularly in the case of insects that produce more than one generation per year. Pretreatment activities performed prior to project approval may be reported retroactively. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the gross acreage of host-type covered by each survey. 7. Line 7 - Insect and Disease Prevention and/or Suppression Using Biological Methods. Include here prevention or suppression measures that use biological agents, such as parasites and predators and and bacterial, fungal, and viral diseases. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the gross acreage of host-type involved in activity and merchantable timber volume protected. Merchantable timber volume protected is the estimated net volume that would be lost (mortality and/or growth loss) the following year if there were no prevention/suppression activities. Report volume in cubic feet. For treatment practices involving individual trees or groups of trees scattered over a large area, include the estimated actual acreage affected in the total treatment area and estimate net volume that would be lost the following year if there were no prevention/suppression activities. 8. Line 8 - Insect and Disease Prevention and/or Suppression Using Chemical Methods. Include here prevention or suppression measures that use chemicals, including chemical treatment of stumps. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the gross acreage of host-type involved in the activity and merchantable volume protected. Merchantable volume protected is the estimated net volume that would be lost (mortality and/or growth loss) the following year if there were no prevention and/or suppression activities. Report volume in cubic feet. For treatment practices involving individual trees or groups of trees scattered over a large area, include gross acreage in total treatment and estimate net volume that would be lost the following year if there were no prevention or suppressiona ctivities. 9. Line 9 - Insect and Disease Prevention or Suppression Using Silvicultural/Mechanical Methods. Silvicultural/mechanical prevention or suppression measures include removal of infected/infested trees by commercial sale, the piling and burning of infected/infested trees, the pruning of infected/infested limbs, the felling of infected/infested trees that are to receive no additional treatment, the removal of alternative hosts, the destruction of infected/infested nursery stock, and the treatment of trap trees. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the gross acreage of host-type involved in the activity and merchantable volume protected. Also include merchantable volume removed where appropriate. Merchantable volume protected is the estimated net volume that would be lost (mortality or growth loss) the following year if there were no prevention/suppression activities. Merchantable volume removed is that volume of usable wood fiber removed as a part of prevention/suppression activities. An example is the harvest removal of bark beetleinfested timber through commercial sale. Report volume in cubic feet. For treatment practices involving individual trees or groups of trees scattered over a large area, include the gross acreage in treatment area and an estimate of the net volume that would be lost the following year if there were no prevention/suppression activities. 10. Line 10 - Insect and Disease Post-Treatment Evaluation and Environmental Monitoring. Post-treatment evaluations and monitoring include those activities performed by trained personnel after prevention or suppression to determine whether or not treatment objectives have been satisfied and whether or not the treatment has had any detrimental effects on the environment, including nontarget organisms. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the acreage of host-type involved in the activity. 11. Line 11 - Insect and Disease Pilot Control Projects. Pilot control projects are evaluations of prevention or suppression methods that involve the use of chemical, biological, silvicultural, or mechanical measures that research has shown to have high promise for operational use in preventing or suppressing the incidence of forest insects or diseases. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the number of pilot control projects conducted and the gross acreage of host-type involved in activity. Do not include gross forested acreage for which the pilot project results would apply. 12. Line 12 - Insect and Disease Cooperative Field Experiments. Cooperative field experiments are relatively large-scale experiments jointly initiated, financed, and conducted by Forest Pest Management and Research Staffs (Forest Service, university, and other) and designed to determine, under a variety of field conditions, the best combinations of chemical, biological, silvicultural, or mechanical measures. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the number of cooperative field experiments conducted and the gross acreage of host-type involved in activity. Do not include gross forested acreage for which the cooperative field experiment results would apply. 13. Line 13 - Insect and Disease Impact Evaluation. Impact studies assess the cumulative net effect(s) of insects and diseases on the ecological and socioeconomic aspects of the forest resource. Report this activity in conjunction with the appropriate insect or disease identification number. Report the number of impact evaluations conducted and the gross acreage of host-type involved in activity. Do not include gross forested acreage for which the impact evaluation results would apply. 14. Line 90 - Check Sum. Use the check sum during data editing to detect keypunching errors. These are the sums of the entries in each column entered on line 90. Calculate separate check sums for each form.
