Metropolitan Wastewater Management Commission Capital Improvement Program <br />POPLAR MANAGEMENT SERVICES <br />Description: <br /> The Biocycle Farm comprises nearly 400 acres of hybrid poplar trees, which were <br />planted as three management units (MUs). The MUs were initially planted in 2004, 2007, <br />and 2009 and are managed on regulated 12-year rotations. This project develops a harvest <br />management plan for the Biocycle Farm through market collaboration and refinement of <br />poplar harvest and planting practices. The project ensures the timely harvest of the initial <br />plantings in each MU within the regulatory 12-year rotation limit and subsequent <br />replanting. <br />Status: <br />35%completed. MU-1, comprising 156 acres, was fully harvested in 2013-2015and was <br />replanted in 2016 with replanting monitoring activities extending into FY 16-17. MU-2 <br />was partially harvested in FY 15-16 for test marketing of veneer. Harvest of MU-2 may <br />resume in FY 16-17 and be completed by FY 18-19. <br />Justification: <br /> Land use regulatory requirement for operation of the Biocycle Farm. <br />Project Driver: <br />Land Use Compatibility Statement (LUCS) issued by Lane County. <br />Project Trigger: <br />Oregon ORS/OAR and NRCS rules dictating that exclusive farm use lands and farmed <br />wetland status agricultural lands requiring agriculturally managed hybrid poplar <br />plantations must be limited to 12-year rotation duration. <br />Project Type: <br />100% Performance <br />Improvement <br />SDC Eligibility: <br />0% <br />Estimated Project Cost: <br />$2,016,198for harvest and administration of the initial plantings across all three MUs. <br />Estimated Cash Flow: <br />FY 13-14 = $116,009; FY 14-15 = $114,465; FY 15-16 = $136,814; <br />FY 16-17 = $78,910; FY 17-18 = $330,000; FY 18-19 = $680,000; <br />FY 19-20 = $380,000; FY 20-21 = $90,000; FY 21-22 = $90,000 <br />Prior 2016-17 <br />Expenditure/Category:YearsEst.
