in the Forestry Handbook Second Edition (1984) edited for the Society of
American Foresters by Karl F. Wenger and published by John Wiley and
Sons.
2) Pulpwood, ton or cord - As
established by local market specifications in use at the time of cutting or
delivery to the pulpwood mill.
3)
Piling - Linear feet by grade within established specifications and dimensions
in use by the buyer. If such specifications cannot be determined, the Doyle Log
Rule will be used.
4) Other
specialized forest products - Established local market specification or custom
in use at the time of harvest as described by the buyer in a written
communication to the Department.
b) Standard forest mensuration procedures shall be used whenever estimates are substituted for actual measurements provided that the procedure has a probability of error of less than ten percent.
c) In the establishment of volume-price values, such published price guides as the Illinois Timber Prices Survey may be used as a guide when published by a government agency, accredited school of forestry or trade association.
