FOREWORD

The Forest Operations Guidel ine was prepared by a technical committee con-vened by the Soi I Conservation and Rivers Control Council. The committee com-prised representatives of N.Z. Forest Service, the forest industry, catchmentäuthorities, and Water and Soil Division of Ministry of Works and Development;their co-operation and ass¡stance is acknowledged.

The guideline was released on a limited basis for comment in March 1'975andhas bee-n the subject of four training courses, three organised bY the NationalWater and Soil Cónservation Organisation and one by the N.Z. Forest Service.

Discussion arising from these courses emphasises the.need for responsible-locãl-ag-encies to intõçret the broad requirements of the guideline in the light oftheir pãrticular district conditions. Operators are advised to consult local agenc-ies foi any guidelines that are specific to their area.

This revised forest operations guidel ine results from a trial implementationperiod during which its operation has been subjected to continual discussion.

General agreement has been reached on the implementation. of the principlesoutlined in this guideline and excellent communications have developed betw.een

the forest industry and the National Water and Soil Conservation Organisation.

A good base on which all concerned can now build, will be foste.red by.earlVdiscujiions betweenforest managers and the catchment authority for the particularregion, when forest operations are being planned. This wi ll ensure that mutuallyacäeptable forest management plans incorporate soil conservation and watermanagement measures, tñus protecting soil and water resources both onsite and

offsi te.

This guidel ine is one in a s"ri"s aimed at stimulating awareness of watermanagemõnt and soil conservation problems and encouraging better long termpl anni ng.

This guideline will be reviewed from time to time should this be necessary.

INTRODUCTION

Population increases and allied develop-ment of lowland areas have created pressureson land which highlight the need to protecterosion-prone catchments, in order to alleviatesedimentation and flooding downstream, whilemaintaining water quality for aquatic life, andfor urban, rural, and recreational uses. Manyforests are located on erosion-prone land,therefore, it is important that soil conservationand water management requirements are metduring any forest operation. Thís guideline isintended to provide a broad basis for meetingthosé requirements. As needs vary throughoutthe country, detailed procedures based on co-operation between catchment authorities, otherlocal bodíes, and forest managers will be drawnup to implement the objectives of this guide-line.

1. OBJECTIVE

The objective of this guideline is to assistforest management in the development of pract-ices that wi ll safêguardthe country's water andsoil resources.

2. PRINCIPLES

2.1 Operations should meet the require-ments of, and should be carried out accordingto, water and soil conservation legislation aswell. as the requirements of relevant agenciesand bodies.

2.2 Due consideration should be given tothe protection and maintenance of fisheiies anddesi rable aquatic I ife.

3. IMPLEMENTATION

3.1 lmplementation of these objectives andprinciples should begin early in the planning offorest operations and become an establishedpart of forest management plans.

3.2 This guideline is intended to provide abroad basis, widely and generally applicable,to ensure that soil conservation and watermanagement requirements are met. lndividualcases, critical areas, and whole districts,however, wi ll need more specific guidelinesto achieve the des¡rd objectives.

3.3 Water and Soil agencies should laydown any necessary specific conditions whengranting water rights, or when consenting tooperations subject to public notices, issuingindividual notices, and when administering byilaws and the legislation generally. ln many

cases it is thought that adherence to the guide-line wi ll meet requirements.

3.4 For specific information regarding legalrequirements, and soil and water conservati nplans, the catchment authority for the areashould be consulted.

4. DEFINITIONS

For the purpose of this guideline the follow-ing definitions apply:

4.1 "Watercourse": includes every river,

the sole purpose of controlling runoff fromthe carriageway.

4.2 "Natural Water": means all forms ofwater, including fresh water, ground water,artesian water, sea water, geothermal steam,water vapour, ice, and snow that are within theouter limits of the territorial sea of NewZealand; but does not include water in anyreservoir (not being an aquifer) under the con-trol of a public authority and used mainly forthe water supply purposes of that public auth-ority, or in any pipe, tank or cistern.

4.3 "Roads": Any surfaced formation con-structed to standards capable of carrying logg-ing trucks, or other similar heavy wheel-equip-ment, for principal access through forest areas.

4.4 "Trac(s": All pathways, trails, andfirebreaks, whether constructed or not, andused by crawler or wheel tractors or otherveh i cl es.

4.5 "Cut-off": Diversions for the purposeof safely carrying surface water runoff intovegetation, "duff", stable areas or water-courses.

4.6 "Permanent Crossings": Bridges orother structures constructed to permanentstandards for the purpose of crossing water-cou rses.

4.7 "Temporary Crossings": Structuresbuilt for the purpose of crossing watercourses,with a design standard adequate to allow aspecific short term operation to be carried out.

4.8 "Landing (skid or dump)": General logassembly points.

4.9 "Protection Areas": Areasof vegetationwhich may be adjacent to a watercourse andmaintained for reasons which could include:- maintenance of water quality by preventing

sediment, slash, or other debris from enter-ing the watercourse.

- protection of aquatic life by maintaininginsect or other life required for food supply-.

- protection or enhancement of river reachesof high value for recreational activities.

- protection of an area of highly erodable land.


4. 10 "Extraction": Any operation involvingthe removal of forest produce.

5. EARTHWORKS

5.1 Roading:

5.1.1 Roading should be p_lanned and im-plemented well ahead of logging and with re-gard to catchment topography, and generaldrainage conditions.

5.1.2 Roads should be located to minimisethe risk of debris and spoil entering water-courses. The need to avoid the unnecessarycrossing' of watercourses and erosion proneareas should be considered equally withappropriate shape, al ignment, and safetyfactors.

5.1.3 Where borrow and waste areas areused, they should be located and maintained toavoid erosion or movement of spoil into water'courses.

5.1.4 Cut and fill slopes should be stabil-ised by appropriate measures, e.9., seeding,compacting, or benching, or a combination ofthese.

5.1.5 Earthworks should be avoided on un-stable slopes when climatic or soi I moistureconditions would aggravate soil erosion andsediment transport. Precautions should betaken to minimise erosion at all stages duringearthworks.

5.1.6 Culverts and cut-offs should be pro-vided to lead water safely away, and to preventundue concentrations of flow and the scour ofwater tables and fills. Similar precautionsshou ld also be taken for works temporari lysuspended as in 5.1.5 above. Debris should bekept well clear of watertables and culvert in-I ets.

5.1.7 Permanent crossings should be de-signed, having due regard of risks to down-stream development from any overtopping orfai lure of structures. (Note: al I crossings whichdam or divert a watercourse, other than fords,will require a water right). The use of fords,with permanent materials such as concrete, orgabion mats, should be encouraged to minimisethe collection of slash or other debris and toprovide minimum impedence to migratory fi sh.

5. 1.8 Crossings should all be constructedto cause minimum disturbance to banks, pro-tection zones, and existing watercourses.Wherever practicable watercourses should becrossed at right angles.

5. 1 .9 Waste materia I f rom excavations orany organic debris from road line clearingshould not be placed in watercourses or in aposition where it could easily enter water-courses, or lead to instab¡ lity. Where this isunavoidable the watercourse should be clearedas soon as possible.

5.1.10 Maintenance of road surfaces, watertables, cutoffs, culvert entries, and exits

6

shall be a continuing operation in keeping withsite requirements and road classif ication.

5.1.11 Upon the completion of use, tem-porary roads should be left in a state providingfor adequate drainage and soil stability, with-out the need for continuous maintenance.

5.2 Tracks and Firebreaks:

5.2.1 Tracks and fi rebreaks should gener-ally be planned constructed and maintained toprevent soil disturbance which leads to accel-erated erosion. Excessive tracking and fire-breaking should be avoided.

5.2.2 Cutoffs should have sufficient cap-acity to take stormwater, and shou ld a I lowfor any silt which may be deposited. lnspect-ions should be made periodically.

5.2.3 Adequate maintenance to preventscour of track and firebreak surface, water-tables, and fill is required. Culverts should bekept clear to ensure that water is lead awaysafely wi thout causing erosion.

5.2.4 Temporary tracks should be left in a

condition that provides for adequate drainageand soil stability without continuous main-tenance. Where practicable and necessary,temporary crossings should be removed. Re-vegetation should be considered and slash maybe used to provide cover, ensuring however,that it does not enter watercourses.

5.3 Landings:

5.3.1 Sites should be carefully chosen andshould generally be kept well clear of water-courses and protection zones. Subject alwaysto the approval of the relevant catchmentauthority, landings may, in special circum-stances, be constructed in watercourses, wheretopography makes any other site impracticable,providing adequate measures are adopted topass normal drainage or flood flows, withoutcausing erosion damage or movement of slashand/or othermaterial intodownstream channels.

'5.3.2 On completion of the period of activeuse, landings should be either removed (iflocated in a watercourse)or left in such a stateas to provide for adequate drainage and soilstabi lity without continuous acti ve mainten-ance.

5.3.3 lf landings dam or divert water, waterrights must be obtained in accordance with theprovisions of the Water and Soil ConservationAct and all attached conditions must be fullyobserved. Submission of logging plans to thecatchment authority showing the location oflandi ngs, roads, tracks, etc., may facilitategranting general authorisation for such works.

6. SITE PREPARATION, ESTABLISHMENT ANDTENDING

6.1 Site Preparation Methods:

6.1.1 Methods should be chosen to ensurethat there is minimal soil disturbance leading


to accelerated soil erosion, sedimentation andcontami nation of watercourses.

6.1.2 Burning should only be carried outwhere necessary at the establishment stageand be t¡med to minimise adverse effectswhich may occur as a result of soil and nut-rient changes.

6.1.3 Cultivation on the contour should beencouraged where practicable, to reduce soiland nutrient loss.

6.1.4 Wherepossible and practicable, rollermethods should be used for crushing,

6,1.5 Soil loss may occur with root-rakingon steep country but can be minimised by lift-ing the blade at regular intervals as themachine passes down the slope, to interruptand slow down water movement. Work shouldkeep clear of watercourses.

6.1.6 Windrowing of slash may be used onsteep or flat country at the preplanting stageand should be constructed along the contourto form a physical barrier to runoff. Windrowingof soil should be discouraged.

6.1.7 Line dozing should generally beavoided except under special circumstanceswhere there is no alternative as in clearinggorse.

6.2 Protection Areas:

6.2.1 Protection areas are desirable alongwatercourses where onsite and offsite effectsof forest removal would be detrimental (seedef inition).

6.2.2 The aim should be to manage, plant,or maintain vegetation adjacent to water-courses, and to mitigate soi I erosion.

6.2.3 Where trees are to be removed fromthese areas for management reasons, theyshould be felled so as to minimise the risk ofslash entering and remaining in the water-course.. Disturbance should be kept to amtntmum.

6.2.4 lt isneither practicable nor necessaryto provide protection areas along all water-courses. The particular needs of the region orspecial characteristics of a watercóurse shoulddetermine when and where such areas shouldbe provided.

6.2.5 Where unstable or erosion-proneslopes are recognisable these areas should bemanaged as protection areas.

6.3 Establishment and Tending:

During this stage all precautions (as in6.1 and 6.2) should be taken to ensure thatthere is no contamination of watercourseswith chem¡cals, debris, or detritus and thatsoi I loss is kept to a minimum.

6.4 Use of Chemicals and Fertilisers:

Consult and follow guideline issued by theAgriculture Chemicals Board in the publication,

"A Guide for Use of Herbicides on Weeds inand near Watercourses Ponds and Lakes",obtainable from catchment authorities andoffices of the Ministry of Agriculture andFi sheri es.

This publication gives details for the pre-paration and use of herbicides near water-courses and protection areas, in order to pre-vent harmful materials from entering water, orbeing placed in a position where they couldcontaminate the water.

Similar precautions should be taken whenusing other chemicals, such as, fertilisers,insecticides, and fungi cides.

7. EXTRACTTON AND MANAGEMENT AFTEREXTRACTION

7.1 Offsite considerations should be madein determining the proportion of a catchment tobe harvested. Clear felling operations on eros-ion prone areas should be planned for the drierperiods of the year.

7.2 ln general, no logging should be carriedout on erosion-prone land without adequatesafeguards.

7.3 A logging arch is desirable with mobileequipment to help prevent soil disturbance. Onsteçer slopes access tracks should be con-structed as in 5.1 and 5.2. Rubber tyred tract-ors, "skidders", are suitable vehicles whenused on flat country and easy slopes, but whenused on steep country, care is needed withaccess tracking to avoid excessive soil dis-turbance and concentration at runoff.

7.4 "Cable operations." Hauler settingsshould be laid out to avoid sweeping slash andsoi I into watercourses.

7.5 Slash should not be placed in such a

position where it, or its residue can enter a

watercourse, however, where for safety rea-sons felling into watercourses is necessaryall debris should be removed following com-pletion of the operation.

7.6 At no time should rubbish and unwantedmaterial be placed in watercourses, or put ina position where it may enter a watercoursee.g. used oil fi lters, wi re ropes, drums, wasteoi l.

7.7 Al the completion of logging operationsall earthworks (including temporary tracks)should be checked, and any necessary worksshould be carried out, including planting orgrassing down to prevent future erosion. When-ever required, rills and vehicle tracks shouldbe graded or bladed, water tables cleared, andcut-offs enlarged to provide for any futuresilting.

8. LEGISLATION

Relevant legislation includes but is notconfined to the following Acts. ln all cases


where legislation is relevant to forest operat-ions reference to the Acts is recommended.

8.1 Soil Conservation and Rivers ControlAct 1941. Catchment authorities from time totime may issue bylaws under sections 149 and150 of this Act regarding watercourses, soilerosion, and other related matters, which couldinclude forestry operations. Penalties for thebreach of bylaws are provided for in section151 .

Penalties for damage to or interference withwatercourses or works are provided for in sect-ions 154 and 155. Compensation may be award-ed under section 1458(c).

8.2 So¡l Conservation and Rivers ControlAmendment Act 1959. Section 34 provides aprocedure whereby certain operations (such aslogging, destruction of vegetation, and theformation of roads and tracks) may not becarried out in a specified area without theapproval of the catchment authority. Underthis procedure, public notices are issued,usually by the catchment authority after duedirection by the Soil Conservation and RiversControl Council , and conf irmation by theMinister.

Section 35 similarly provides for individualnotices to the occupier of land to do (or not todo) things specified in the notice within aspecified time, where the Soil Conservationand Rivers Control Council so resolves.

8.3 Town and Country Planning Act 1977.Under this Act and its regulations, regionaland district schemes are formulated showingthe predominant and conditional uses forwhich land may be used.

8.4 Forests Act 1949 and Amendments.Under section 14 of the principal Act as amend-ed by section 4 of the Forests Amendment Act1976 the N.Z. Forest Service is responsible forpolicy control and management of all Stateforest land.

8.5 The Forest and Rural Fires Act 1977.This Act makes it illegal to light fires in ruralfire districts, specially protected properties,State areas, and registered forest areas withouta permit in writing.

8.6 Water and Soil Conservation Act 1967.Under section 21(3) of this Act, water rightsare required for natural water to be dammed,diverted, taken, or used, and for any dischargeof water or waste into natural water, except inso far as any particular activity that has beengenerally authorised. lt is an offence to placewaste in a position where it could enter naturalwater. (See section 34 which also provides forpenalties). The regional water board for thearea (catchment authority) is responsible forissuing general authorisations and water rights(except Crown rights, where the board reportsand recommends). General authorisations qaybe revoked and those for the discharge ofwaste, cease, as waters are classified undersection 26E. The terms "waste" and "natural

I

water" are defined in section 2 of the Act.(Currently under review).

8.7 Government Procedures for Protectionand Enhancement of the Environment. Proced-ures were clef ined in a Cabinet directive issuedin 1973. For works financially assisted byGovernment. departmental policies, and thegranting of Crown licences, the proceduresrequire an environmental impact assessment orreport in appropriate cases (under certain Acts),whenever they are likely to significantly affectthe human, physical, or biological envi ron-ment. The Commissioner for the Environment,in appropriate cases, welcomes non-mandatoryenvironmental assessment, and rçorts fromprivate and other interests and undertakes toaudit these according to the procedures (beingreviewed).
