Posts shall be spaced not more than 40 feet apart on level terrain or as needed on inclines or otherwise uneven terrain. Where fence approaches riparian area for livestock access points, closer post spacing should be used (16.5 feet), and all wood posts should be used within 50 feet of the stream channel. Total length of posts should accommodate all measurements for the specific fence. In no circumstance may wire be fastened to trees in place of posts. • Fiberglass Posts: Fiberglass posts shall be a minimum diameter of 1 inch and shall be placed a minimum of 18 inches in the ground. • Wood Posts: Posts shall be pressure treated wood and have a minimum top diameter of 5 inches and set approximately 2 feet in the ground.

They shall be spaced at a maximum of/< mile (1320 feet) intervals or at corners and points of abrupt changes. An abrupt change can be a change of 15 degrees or more in vertical topography or where the alignment of the fence varies more than 12 inches from planned fence line between corners or brace post. Reasonable deviations shall be permitted where rocky ground or steep slopes exist. All H-brace assemblies will consist of posts a minimum of 7.5 feet in length and set approximately 3 feet in the ground, spaced 6 feet apart. Wood- A minimum of 6 inch top diameter of treated timber or durable wood for upright post. The horizontal post shall be a minimum of 4 inches in diameter. • Corner and End/ Gate Post: Use a corner post assembly for fence alignment changes of greater than 45 degrees.

Wire & Electrical Connections: Bottom wire shall be 18" above ground, middle wire at 28" above ground, and top wire at 40" above ground. Fence will be constructed such that middle and top wire can be energized on a single circuit. All electrical connections should use double insulated wire and mechanical fasteners. Bottom wire will be grounded. Wire should be attached to the side of the post that faces away from the riparian area (wire should not be inserted through pre -drilled holes in fiberglass posts). Wire should be attached to wood posts with high quality plastic insulators, and to fiberglass posts with adjustable pin locking insulators or clips that enable the wires attached to line posts to be lowered to ground level when the fence is not in use (wire attached to H braces or corner posts does not need to be adjustable). Grounding Rods: Lightning arrest location/ grounding rods should be placed at energizer and in 4 additional locations along the fence at stream access points (2 on east side, 2 on west side of fence. Galvanized steel or copper grounding rods 6 feet long should be driven into the soil until only 4-6 inches is sticking out above ground (or as deep as soil conditions allow), in the wettest soil available. Energizers: Fence should be powered with a solar powered electric fence controller. It should be high power, low impedance with a minimum 5,000 volt peak output with a short pulse that is less than 300 mAmps in intensity, finished within 300-millionths of a second (0.0003 seconds) at a rate of 35-65 pulses per minute and a high impact weather resistant case. Energizer should have a minimum output of 5 Joules (on the fence, not stored energy). Battery should be a Group 27 deep cycle battery. Solar panel should be a minimum 40 Watts.

Gate openings should be at least 16 feet wide. Locations will be selected in the field. Materials: Fencing materials must be new with a life expectancy of 15 years. Stream access points: The fence will be constructed to allow livestock access to the stream in 2 locations (see map). Fence should be constructed across the stream and to the opposite bank, but allow livestock access to a strip of ground on the opposite bank no more than 10 feet in width from the opposite stream bank. Locations should allow livestock access to approximately 30 feet of stream length. Two corner post assemblies should be used for each access point. Where fence approaches riparian area for livestock access points, closer post spacing should be used (16.5 feet), and all wood posts should be used within 50 feet of the stream channel. Cedar posts are to be used at locations within 50 feet or less from surface or ground water contact.
