TW ficers including requirements that the retained basal area be “well-distributed” and that “minimum tree counts” per 1,000 foot stretches of streams also be “well-distributed” creating operational challenges for logging operations, and

WHEREAS, how these subjective interpretations are made could pose serious safety issues for loggers and other forest contractors as they attempt to comply with the complicated prescriptions required by the new stream rules, and

WHEREAS, the Oregon Department of Forestry will spend much of the next year adding precision to the rule adopted by the Board of Forestry, interpreting the intent of the expanded buffers and establishing terms for implementation. How the agency makes its final decision will have a profound impact on forest landowners and logging contractors charged with comply- ing with the new rules.

THEREFORE BE IT RESLOVED that the Oregon Logging Conference (OLC) go on record to encourage the De- partment of Forestry to finalize the new stream rules in a manner that affords flexibility for landowners and clarity for forest operators and recognize that not all landscapes will be able to safely accommodate the rule as currently written.

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Oregon Depart- ment of Forestry recognize the added burdens on both landowners and operators in terms of value depletion and increased complexity of compliance, and thus resolve to adopt the least burdensome methods of implementing the new rules.

WHEREAS, the safety of workers is a core objective of all employers and employees in the forest products industry and suggestions that any particular sector of the industry is not concerned about the safety of forest workers has no place in the discourse between the various sectors, and
