11 AAC 95.245 - Inspections
(a) For the purposes of
AS
41.17.120, the division shall coordinate
agency inspections under this chapter. An agency may request that the division
schedule an inspection or the division may initiate an inspection. If
requested, the division shall schedule the inspection, or deny the agency's
request and provide a response to the agency stating the reasons for denying
the request. An agency disagreement concerning whether to schedule an
inspection under this section is subject to elevation under
AS
41.17.098(f).
(b) If the state forester requires a field
inspection under
AS
41.17.090(f), an operator
shall inform the division when the site will be available for an inspection. To
be available for an inspection, a site must be accessible by mechanized means
to within one mile of the activity or proposed activity and, except for a
winter logging operation, the site must be free of significant snow cover. For
a winter logging operation the feature to be inspected must be locatable or be
adequately marked.
(c) The division
shall make every reasonable effort to notify the operator's representative of a
pending inspection at least five days in advance of the inspection and to give
the operator the opportunity to accompany state personnel during the
inspection.
(d) A written forest
operation inspection report shall be prepared by the forest practices forester
after each inspection and must be distributed to the operator, forest
landowner, timber owner, and agencies. The forest practices forester may
provide the report to the operator before leaving the site.
