Warning: a printed copy of this document may be uncontrolled. Please verify this is the latest version prior to use.

Contractor must ensure timber removed is allocated to the correct compartment when entered into Electronic Delivery Docket.

2. Management Conditions on Boundaries Boundary Conditions

FMZ FMZ 2 – Occurs on the southern boundary of the compartment, but is outside the harvest area. Log haulage and road maintenance are permitted. Harvesting and harvesting machinery are not permitted in this area. FT is not required to mark the boundary.

National Park National Park forms the eastern and northern boundary of the compartment and is shown on the HPOM. The eastern boundary is located 50m west of the Corn Trail.

No forestry activities are permitted to enter or cross the national park boundary.

The FT must mark the National Park boundary with pink and yellow tape.

The crew must ensure access roads to the National Park are not impeded by forestry activities and the roads condition is maintained.

Cultural Heritage Surveys have been conducted. No heritage sites were located during surveys.

If any potential heritage sites are identified notify the planner immediately.

* Where field boundary marking instructions differ from SOP2: Exclusion Zone Boundary Management, the instructions in this Harvest Plan apply.

3. Expected Yields

4. Haulage

Haul Route East out 517/1 road to No Name Mountain road. East on Hanns road, Quart Pot road, Buckenbowra road to the Princes highway.

Dust and Mud Homes immediately adjacent to Quart Pot road and Buckenbowra road may be adversely impacted by noise created by log haulage. Truck drivers should reduce speed and minimise the use of engine brakes near these such homes.

All vehicle operators are responsible for minimising dust on Quart Pot road and Buckenbowra road adjacent to homes and vehicle traffic.




Operating hours No restrictions apply to haulage contractors, except for those noise and dust conditions above.

5. Community

Issue Detail Conditions

Notifications Required Nil All relevant notifications have been conducted. A notification list for FCNSW staff is available from the planner.

Pests/Weeds Myrtle Rust/other weeds/pests

Is known to occur in Eurobodalla Shire. To prevent further spread the crew/haulage operators must ensure all harvesting machinery, equipment and vehicles heading west from Eurobodalla Shire are checked and all infected vegetation removed.

6. Infrastructure

Infrastructure Conditions

517/1 road & 517/2 road

These roads provide access for post-harvest forestry activities. Crew is to ensure at the completion of harvesting all road drainage is constructed to allow 4WD access.

7. Harvesting Conditions

Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Stand Condition

STS Heavy

Entire harvest area

The harvest area is predominately mature to over mature Silvertop Ash and Stringybark in predominately even-aged stands. Previous harvesting and fire has caused patchy regeneration, mainly Silvertop Ash along ridge lines, which is now advanced and approximately 30-40cm DBH. The objective is to harvest all commercially available trees to create canopy openings and ensure mechanical disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration of the stands. Silvertop Ash advanced regeneration can be thinned and spaced to promote growth of dominant trees.

Crew to retain well-formed seed trees of preferred species at ~40 m spacing.

HC to instruct crew to thin patches of quality advanced regeneration where they occur.

Crew to remove all merchantable stems not marked for retention and ensure mechanical disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration.

The crew is responsible for selecting retained seed trees and retaining patches of advanced regeneration.

Monitoring The HC must conduct Basal Area monitoring in areas treated with STS Heavy. Due to the topography of the compartment it is expected inaccessible areas will be encountered. The HC can use inaccessible areas as BA offsets.

Any changes to treatment and offset areas need to be endorsed by the Operations Planning Manager.




IFOA Limits STS Heavy Total

STS Tract 286 ha 286 ha

Pre-harvest BA 30 8,580m2

Post-harvest BA 16 4,719m2

Planned Removal 45% 45%

8. Tree Retention - refer to TSL booklet for full conditions

Prescription Condition/Responsibility

Mark-Up – the FT is responsible for marking up the forest ahead of harvesting operations consistent with Forest Mark Up and Tree Retention SOP

Compartment Mark-Up Survey

(5.1, 5.2)

Compartment mark-up surveys must be conducted at least 100m in advance of operations. The survey must search for threatened and protected species features listed in conditions 5.1 and 5.2 of the TSL.

Hollow-bearing and Recruitment tree retention (H and R)

Non Regrowth Zone – TSL 5.6 conditions apply.

Additional H trees for Greater Glider condition does not apply.

FT must select and mark 5 H trees/ha and 5 R trees/ha.

Significant Food Resources

(5.6 g)

FT must mark for retention - 4 Eucalypt feed trees/2 ha where they occur. All glider sap feed trees, stands of forest oak and forest oak feed trees must be marked for retention.

Stringybark and Monkey Gum are suitable E tree species present in this compartment.

Harvesting - crew and HC responsibilities

Protection of Retained Trees (5.6g)

Trees marked or selected for retention must not be felled.

The crew must minimise damage to H, R and E trees must by using directional felling.

Harvesting debris should not accumulate within 5 m of retained trees. Where debris does accumulate the crew must remove or flatten to < 1m high.

The HC must be notified of any badly damaged retained trees and they must assess and record if a replacement retained tree is required.

Stag Retention (Dead standing trees 5.6e)

The crew should retain stags where safe to do so.

The crew must record the date, DBH, risk and location of unsafe stags removed

Significant food resources The crew should avoid damaging flowering or fruiting banksias or grass trees.

Impenetrable Understory In areas mapped by the FT as Impenetrable Understory procedures for harvesting in un-marked forest must be implemented by the HC and Crew.




9. Site-Specific Flora and Fauna

Condition Boundary Type

Prescription

Riparian Habitat Protection (5.7)

(Lidar Corrected)

Pink Tape Implement filter strip (hard) and protection zone (soft) around drainage features as shown on the HPOM. Refer to SOP1.

FT must mark the location of UMDL with pink (10m) and 1st order protection zone boundary with pink tape.

The crew will locate and protect all 2nd order and above streams with GPS.

Ground Habitat (5.17 d)

N/A Due to the presence of Eastern Pygmy Possum damage to ground habitat should be minimised. The crew should not collect dead fallen timber from the forest floor.

Threatened Ecological Community (TEC)

Pink & Yellow Tape

River-flat Eucalypt Forest on Coastal Floodplain TEC occurs in the southern end of compartment 517. The mapping shown on the HPOM includes a 10m buffer.

The FT must mark as an exclusion the TEC boundary in the field as shown on the HPOM.

The crew must protect all areas of marked and mapped TEC.

Rainforest (5.4) Pink Tape Rainforest is mapped in the compartment and shown on the HPOM.

The FT must identify the rainforest type (temperate or depauperate) and then mark an exclusion zone based on the rainforest type.

The FT must search for and mark all areas of unmapped rainforest.

The crew must protect all areas of Rainforest.
