2. Management Conditions on Boundaries Boundary Conditions

Private Property Private property occurs adjacent to the western and southern boundaries of both compartments as indicated on the HPOM. It also occurs to the eastern boundary of Cpt 637. Private property owners have been notified of the scheduled harvesting and post-harvest burning. The PP boundary must be located and marked by the PA. All heads and debris are to be pulled back from the PP boundary on the western edge and where practicable a snig track is to be located adjacent to the boundary as a fire break.

FMZ FMZ 2, 3A Harvesting Excluded and FMZ 4- General Management occur within the compartment and are shown on the HPOM.

FMZ 2 & 3A – Harvesting and harvesting machinery are not permitted in these areas. PA must mark boundaries as shown on the HPOM.

Research Any other inventory plots located during the harvesting operation which are not shown on the HPOM or described above are to be treated the same as the surrounding area.

National Park National Park forms the western boundary of Comparment 641 adjacent to Ben Boyd Trail and is shown on the HPOM. The PA must mark the boundary as mapped. 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. If any potential heritage sites are identified notify the planner immediately.

Operating hours Restrictions apply to haulage contractors, refer to table 5 below.



5. Community Issue Detail Conditions

Noise Around dumps A and B and close to nearby residences

When working in areas close to residential properties, machinery (including chainsaws) operating hours will be limited to between 7am and 8pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 12pm on Saturdays. Machinery must not be operated on Sundays and Public Holidays.

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

This boundary has been marked with blue tape and paint in a joint boundary review with the private property owner (20/12/2016).

The Permit to Enter for Lot 46 (DP 750223) is still outstanding. Access to Cpt 637, coupe 1 is not permitted until this Permit to Enter has been signed.

Pests/Weeds Myrtle Rust Is known to occur in Bega Valley Shire. To prevent further spread the crew/haulage operators must ensure all harvesting machinery, equipment and vehicles heading west from Bega Valley Shire or south into Victoria are checked and all infected vegetation removed.

Forest Permits 3 apiary ranges are occupied.

Bee Permit holders must be contacted by the PA at least two weeks prior to use of any log dumps that are occupied by bee hives.

6. Infrastructure Infrastructure Conditions

Utilities Underground Telecommunication cable owned by Telstra runs adjacent to 641/2 Road and is shown on the HPOM and marked in the field with blue paint and Telstra cable markers. The cable location has been verified using an Accredited Plant Locator. The PA must check the field markers to ensure they are adequate if required hang additional flagging tape to show location.

The crew must report all damage to underground utilities immediately.

7. Harvesting Conditions

Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Condition for each stand condition



Modified Shelter-wood (MSW)

Entire Harvest Area

Wildfire events occurred in the compartments in 1951. Both compartments were harvested in alternate coupes in 1989, 2002 (Cpt 641) and 2003 (Cpt 637). A hazard reduction burn was conducted in Cpt 637 in 1997.

The areas identified for harvest are mature to over mature. These stands are dominated by Yellow Stringybark and Gum with a small portion of Silvertop Ash in Cpt 637.

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.

Crew to target sawlogs, pulpwood and other miscellaneous products as markets allow.

Crew to remove all merchantable stems not marked for retention.

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

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 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 PA 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.
