Universal Citation: 400 CO Code Regs 1752

Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 17, September 10, 2024

A. Short term bark damage (0-33%/limb or trunk) = no loss

B. Long term bark damage

1. (34-49%/limb or trunk) = 33% loss

$ Loss = (# of trees) (Bu/Tree) (33%) (ORV Equivalent) (2.0) (87%) Where,

ORV Equivalent =

(ORV/Bu) - (Harvest + Haul Cost/Bu)

2.0 Factor =

Recovery Loss Adjustment for 4-year recovery period.

87% =

Present value percentage factor from column 3 of Table B of #1754.

2. (50-59%/limb or trunk) = 65% Loss

$ Loss =

(# of Trees) (Bu/Tree) (65%) (ORV Equivalent) (3.5) (80%)

Where,

ORV Equivalent =

(Orchard Run $/Bu) - (Harvest + Haul Cost/Bu)

3.5 Factor =

Recovery Loss Adjustment for 6- year recovery period.

80% =

Present value percentage factor from column3 of Table B of #1754.

C. Permanent Bark Damage (60+%/Limb or trunk) = 100% Loss

Trees which have a limb and/or truck-limb damage in excess of 60%.

1. Limb loss without 100% tree loss.

$ Loss/Tree=

(Bu/Tree) (# 100%-loss limbs/Total # Limbs) (ORV Equivalent) (Years) (P.V.1) + (Bu/Tree) (# 33%-loss limbs/Total #limbs) (33%) (ORV Equivalent) (2.0) (87%) + (Bu/Tree) (# 65%-loss limbs/total # limbs) (65%) (ORV Equivalent) (3.5) (80%)

Where

ORV Equivalent =

(ORV/Bu) - (Harvest + Haul Cost/Bu)

Years =

Remaining Commercial Life

P.V.1 =

Present value percentage factor from Column 3 of Table B of #1754 based on # of years of remaining commercial life.

2.0 and 3.5 factors =

recovery loss adjustment for 4 and 6 year recovery periods respectively.

87% and 80% =

present value percentage factors from column 3 of Table B of #1754 for 4 and 6 year recovery periods.

(Recovery period for 33% damaged tree is deemed to be 4 years and for 65% damaged tree it is deemed to be 6 years.)

Total Block $ Loss =

sum of losses calculated for individual trees.

2. Total tree loss (individual or block)

Production $ loss =

(# of trees) (Bu/tree) (ORV equivalent) (Years) (P.V.)

Replacement $ Cost =

(# of trees) (Cost of removal/tree + replacement cost/tree + replant cost/tree - operational cost savings)

Total $ loss =

Production $ loss + replacement $ cost

Where,

ORV Equivalent =

(ORV/Bu) - (Harvest + Haul Cost/Bu)

Years =

# years of remaining commercial life, but not greater than 10 years for apple, 8 years for peach/apricot, 15 years for sweet cherry, 10 years for sour cherry.

P.V. =

Present value percentage factor from column 3 of Table B of #1754 based on # years of remaining commercial life.
