Or. Admin. Code § 629-630-0100 - Skidding and Yarding Practices
(1) For each harvesting operation, operators
shall select a logging method and type of equipment appropriate to the given
slope, landscape, and soil properties in order to minimize soil deterioration
and to protect water quality.
(2)
Operators shall avoid ground-based yarding on unstable, wet, or easily
compacted soils unless operations can be conducted without damaging soil
productivity through soil disturbance, compaction or erosion.
(3) Operators shall locate skid trails where
sidecasting is kept to a minimum.
(4) Operators shall locate skid trails on
stable areas so as to minimize the risk of material entering waters of the
state.
(5) Operators shall avoid
excavating skid trails on slumps or slides.
(6) Operators shall limit cable logging to
uphill yarding whenever practical. When downhill cable yarding is necessary,
operators shall use a layout and system which minimizes soil
displacement.
