To evaluate timber harvesting on features identified by the
slopes model, operators shall submit a written plan that describes how the
operation is planned to be conducted in sufficient detail to allow the State
Forester to evaluate and comment on the likelihood that the operation will
comply with the Forest Practices Act or administrative rules. The written plan
shall include at a minimum:
(1) A unit
map including, where applicable:
(a)
Locations of slopes model designated debris flow traversal areas;
(b) Locations of slopes model designated
sediment source areas and those selected as slope retention areas;
and
(c) Identification of
approximate yarding corridors relative to (1)(a) and (b).
(2) Description of the rationale and
appropriate documentation for the following that apply:
(a) Selection of the 50 percent designated
debris flow traversal areas for Western Oregon forestlands that are managed
under the small forestland owner minimum option;
(b) Selection of slope retention areas,
including justification for choosing areas to satisfy the minimum 50 percent
designated sediment source area requirement, as described in OAR
629-630-0910(3) and
(4);
(c) How the number, size, and location of
yarding corridors were designed to minimize impacts to the designated debris
flow traversal areas; and
(d) How
the number, size, and location of yarding corridors were designed to minimize
soil and vegetation disruptions that may increase slope instability in slope
retention areas.
(3)
Additional administrative information related to the operation as required by
individual rules or as requested by the State Forester.
