Samples of total annual logging harvests are selected for the auditing team to measure. The Department of Forestry (DOF) applies the sample data to overall performance in Virginia. The annual reportable result is expressed as a percentage of those tracts that have a reportable active sedimentation problem issue identified on-site. The results are based on a sample size of 240 tracts per year. Associated Service Areas SA Code SA Name 50103 Forest Conservation, Wildfire & Watershed Services StandIn X
