Description of Proposal

Harvesting of native forest Harvesting of native forest, using Single Tree Selection, Silviculture subject to the Southern Region, IFOA requirements will be undertaken within this planning unit.

The primary product of the harvesting is high quality large sawlogs (quota logs), small high quality sawlogs, veneer logs, girders, poles & piles where timber markets are available. Parts of felled logs that do not meet high quality log specifications are segregated and graded into other classifications such as salvage sawlogs, pulp logs & miscellaneous timbers e.g. split & round posts, firewood, mining timbers & craftwood. The availability of miscellaneous timbers depends mainly on forest types, log defectiveness & market conditions at the time of harvesting.

Clause 22 – Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (IFOA) Consideration All relevant factors have been reviewed taking into account the volume and monetary value of each forest product to supply Term Agreement Holders. The harvesting operation also complies with Clause 22 of the IFOA.

Attachment 1: Site Safety Plan prescribes safety requirements and Medical Emergency Evacuation Plan for this harvesting operation. Attachment 2: Roading plan prescribes roading requirements for this harvesting operation.

Appendix 3: Details prescribed burning requirements for the harvesting operation.

Traffic management/road closures The logging contractor is responsible for traffic control on all roads when felling is within two tree lengths of the tallest tree to be felled of the road or snigging on roads or loading is occurring within 10 metres of a road. Warning of trucks entering must be displayed 200 metres either side of all State Forest road approaches leading to areas where harvesting operations are in progress.

Note approvals have NOT been sought to enable closure of the Princes Hwy. Therefore NO harvesting is to occur within 2 tree lengths of the Princes Hwy.

Warning of timber harvesting operations must be displayed 200 metres either side of all thoroughfare State Forest road approaches leading to areas where harvesting operations are in progress.

This plan identifies haulage from the compartment will via Lemon Tree Road (from both the southern and northern sections) (Forestry Corporation of NSW owned) turning left or right onto Princes Highway (100km/hr Road). Both the southern and northern intersections of Lemon Tree Road and Princes Highway have been assessed as achieving a minimum of 200m sight distance on both approaches. Therefore at these intersections additional signage in accordance with a Traffic Control Plan is not required.

Road intersections outside the control of Forestry Corporation of NSW are not covered by this plan or any Forestry Corporation of NSW Traffic Control Plan. Haulage contractors must abide by RMS road laws and standard operating procedures in relation to haulage routes outside the control of Forestry Corporation of NSW.

Dust, noise and school bus routes Dust and noise – Where log haulage routes pass close to rural housing along natural surface/gravel roads dust and noise must be minimised to the greatest extent practicable. Trucks should reduce speed, restrict use to daylight hours and minimise the use of engine brakes through these areas.

Silvicultural Planning Single Tree Selection The STS tract (506.2ha) is a predominantly mixed and even aged mature forest and will be harvested under a light and heavy single tree selection (STS) regime. The objective within the 506.2 ha net harvest area for this operation is to remove 45% (Resource unit 1) and 25% (Resource unit 2 and 3) of commercially mature and defective trees to create canopy openings for regeneration, whilst retaining and minimising damage to young regenerating stems, seed trees, habitat and recruitment trees. It is envisaged that the next harvesting operation in this compartment would be on average 30 years time. The STS tract for IFOA purposes includes the net harvest area/resource units 1, 2 & 3 of 19 and 20 as indicated on the HPOM Single Tree Selection (STS) must remove no more than 45% of the basal area (BA), while retaining a minimum BA of 10m2 per hectare within the tract.

Harvesting Prescription

Resource Unit % of NHA Silvicultural Treatment (Refer to HPOM for detail)

1 65% STS heavy: • Retain and protect from harvesting/fire damage: -poles/advanced growth (<40cm DBHOB) with good form and vigour, -habitat and recruitment trees as per TSL, • Retained trees should be evenly spaced throughout the resource unit. • Ensure no more than 45% of the BA within the resource unit is removed, while retaining a minimum BA of 10m2 per hectare within the tract. • All other products should be removed markets permitting. If this objective cannot be achieved the following options should be considered: -reject tree felling (Contract Coordinator must first obtain approval from harvesting team leader), -defer harvesting until ideal market conditions prevail, -consider harvesting under a light or medium STS regime 2 32% STS light: Remove merchantable poles and trees of sawlog size with defective crowns/limited growth potential. Retain and protect from fire/harvesting damage: -stems which do not meet pole specifications which have good

form and vigour. -habitat and recruitment trees as per TSL, -retain additional dominant and co dominant trees of good form and vigour to ensure the total BA removed across the resource unit is no more than 25%. • Retained trees should be evenly spaced throughout the resource unit. 3 3% FCNSW has not sought approval from RMS to close the Princes Highway when harvesting within two tree lengths of this major road. Therefore within this resource unit, the areas within two tree lengths of Princes Hwy must be excluded from harvesting. For the remaining area: STS light-Modified Prescription (visual amenity): • Retain and protect from harvesting/fire damage: - poles/advanced growth (<40cm DBHOB) with good form and vigour, - habitat and recruitment trees as per TSL, - 4 seed trees/ha (can include other suitable retained trees). - Retain additional trees of good form and vigour to ensure the total BA removal across the Resource Unit is no more than 25%. • All other products should be removed markets permitting. To maintain the visual amenity of the area: • Retained trees should be evenly spaced throughout the resource unit. • Tree heads should be felled to avoid windrows and minimise the visual impact. • If log dumps are created within the area, retain additional trees around the log dumps to minimise visual impact. 4 0% Area adjacent to Hwy: • Exclude from harvesting due to timber volume being insufficient. Area adjacent to north western corner of Lot 21 DP 625967: • Exclude from harvesting due landholders concern about run off from an unmapped drainage line which occurs in the area.

Post Log Burning Timing Parts of compartments 19 and 20 are within a Strategic Fire Advantage Zone (SFAZ) for Shoalhaven Bush Fire Management Zone (refer to Burning Operations Map for detail). To maintain the values of this zone post log burning should aim to be carried out prior to the wildfire season. To enable this, where practical, the CC should manage the configuration of harvesting so that harvesting only occurs within the SFAZ in the months March, April and May.

HP_BB_19_20_12 06-08-13 10 Southern Region – Compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest, Batemans Bay Management Area

Noxious Weeds/Disease/Pests Hygiene Requirements Compartment 19 and 20 is with Shoalhaven City Council, which is designated red zone for myrtle rust. In order to prevent the spread of Myrtle Rust all harvesting machinery, equipment and vehicles heading west from Shoalhaven City Council must be inspected for vegetation containing Myrtle Rust and if present be washed down prior to leaving this local government area. Permanent Growth and Research Plots Any inventory plots located during the harvesting operation are to be treated the same as the surrounding area. Private Property Private property occurs adjacent to the boundaries of the compartment, as indicated on the HPOM. Private property owners have been notified of the scheduled harvesting and post-harvest burning. Contact details are available from the Batemans Bay office. The table below lists neighbours who adjoin Compartment 19 & 20: Name Lot Number

• No harvest disturbance is permitted on private property. • Harvesting debris must not be left within five metres of the boundary fence lines. • Any damage to fences must be repaired by the contractor. • Access roads must be maintained free of debris and in a trafficable state.

Occupation Permits An Occupation Permit for Powerlines occurs within the compartments (Shown on HPOM as Non Forest Use (FMZ 7 Powerlines)). There is a shed associated with this permit on the eastern side of cpt 19 (shown on HPOM as Powerline Infrastructure- Shed). This shed must not be damaged by the operation. Apart from the safety precautions listed in the site specific identified hazards table of this harvest plan, no other conditions apply to this permit.

HP_BB_19_20_12 06-08-13 11 Southern Region – Compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest, Batemans Bay Management Area

Apiary 4 apiary sites provided in the table below are located within the planning unit as detailed in the table below. Contact details are available from the Batemans Bay office. Name Boundary Location

• The Contract Coordinator must provide the apiary permittees with at least two weeks advance notice when bee boxes need to be removed or relocated. • Permanent apiary set down sites are located on dumps 29 & 34 (see HPOM), must be levelled and free of debris at the completion of logging. • Permanent sites must not be ripped.

Rocky Terrain Rocky terrain occurs within the net planned area. All rocky terrain shown on the HPOM was assessed at the planning stage and is unlikely to meet the definition of a rocky outcrop or cliff. SFO/CC will continue to conduct on the ground mark-up and searches and report back to foresters/ecologist any feature requiring further investigation.

National Parks and Nature Reserves National park neighbours the harvest area to the east. Princes Highway forms the boundary between National Park and State Forest. No harvest disturbance is permitted within National Park or Nature Reserves.

Underground Cables A dial before you dig request query of the compartment indicates that underground Telstra cables and powerlines are present on the eastern side of the compartment. Dial before you dig and field markers (where located) have been used to indicate the approximate location of the cable on the HPOM. Prior to any harvesting or roading activity taking place in the vicinity of the cables, the Contract Coordinator should inspect the area for markers or other evidence of the cables and flag with marking tape. If required to cross the cable the Contractor Coordinator to mark the designated Crossing point. When carrying out harvesting or road maintenance activities near cables, minimise ground disturbance across or along and increase depth of earth cover if required. Crossing an optic fibre cable - the contractor must install 600mm of cover over the cable. No mechanical excavation works are to be carried out with 1.0m of the actual location. Any damages to cables must be immediately reported to Telstra on 13 22 03. Forest Management Zoning

FMZ 3B-Special Prescriptions (visual), FMZ 7 Non Forest (powerlines) and FMZ 4- General Management (normal harvesting prescriptions apply) occur within the compartment. Refer to HPOM for more detail.

FMZ 3B (Visual) Refer to harvesting prescription details for resource unit 3 for special prescriptions relating to this zone.

FMZ 7 – Prescribed burning is only permitted if fire does not conflict with the specific non-forest use of the site.

IFOA Required Approval of Forestry Activities

All areas of Rainforest, Rare Non-Commercial Forest Ecosystems require prior OEH approval and Stream Exclusion Zones require prior Regional Manager approval before forest harvesting related activities (eg: road or snig track construction & reopening) can be undertaken. It is the responsibility of the Contract Coordinator to identify any exclusion areas which will need to be crossed during harvesting. The Contract Coordinator should then contact the Harvest Planner to obtain the necessary approval.

Cultural Heritage

Cultural Heritage - All 10 metre radius exclusion buffers are to be marked in the field as hard exclusion zones (i.e. pink & yellow tape) where logging and/or road works are scheduled to be undertaken. All operators must be taken to each site within the planned area before any activities are commenced. Flora and Fauna

Southern Region – Compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest, Batemans Bay Management Area

ATTACHMENT 3 POST-HARVEST BURNING PLAN

This burn plan has been planned and must be implemented in accordance with:

Bushfire Environmental Assessment Code (and χ accompanying Bush Fire Hazard Reduction Certificate).

Southern Region IFOA* ü

*This burn plan will be managed in accordance with the principles detailed in the FCNSW Corporate Fuel Management Plan 2008. All practical measures will be taken to ensure fire is contained within predetermined control lines and to prevent entry into exclusion areas. However due to the unpredictable nature of fire from time to time fire may escape the containment lines and enter exclusion zones. In these instances the Burn Supervisor should consider suitable strategies to manage the escaped fire.

PLANNING INFORMATION

Planned Burn Area: NHA of compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest. LGA: Shoalhaven

Refer to Area Identification and Yield Estimates section of harvest plan (page 2). Season: Spring for SFAZ area, autumn / winter /spring for LMZ area. Bush Fire Management Zone: Land Management Zone (LMZ) and Strategic Fire Advantage Zone (SFAZ) (Refer to HPOM for detail). BURN OBJECTIVES

LMZ and SFAZ: • Promote regeneration of eucalypt species • Protect & enhance ecological communities • To reduce fine fuel loads to 4-8 tonnes/ha. (assisting future fire suppression) • A burn coverage between 60-80% of harvested area. • To contain fire within harvested area. • To minimise mortality in trees retained under condition 5.6 of TSL (H & R trees and feed trees). • To minimise defect damage to retained regrowth stems. CRITICAL AND NON CRITICAL BOUNDARIES

A summary of critical boundaries where burning must be excluded are listed below (refer to harvest plan and BOM for further details). Critical boundaries within the planned compartments: • Exclusions for Golden Tipped Bat, Squirrel Glider, Masked Owl Nest, Ridge & Headwater, Rare & Non Commercial Forest Ecosystems and probable Rainforest. • Shed associated with powerline infrastructure. • Southern section of Excluded Forest Resource Unit 4 (the area south of lot 21). This area contains wooden surveyor’s pegs and marked trees for possible future Princes Hwy realignment. Critical boundaries outside the planned compartments: • National Park . • Private Property.

HP_BB_19_20_12 06-08-13 37 Southern Region – Compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest, Batemans Bay Management Area

Non-Critical Boundaries Non-critical boundaries are areas within the planned compartments which are outside the nha where fire should not be deliberately introduced (through lighting patterns or direct ignition). However if fire does enter these areas, attempts to extinguish the fire are not necessary and it is acceptable to allow fire to burn out to a secondary containment line. Snig track patterns should still aim to form a control line around these boundaries, however if this in impractical (e.g due to steep/rocky terrain) it is not necessary for CC/SFO to seek approval for the construction a bare earth break. FMZ 7 and excluded forest, resource unit 4 (except for the section mentioned in critical boundaries above).

HP_BB_19_20_12 06-08-13 38 Southern Region – Compartments 19 & 20, Termeil State Forest, Batemans Bay Management Area

REGIONAL BURNING GUIDELINES

Max Temp (°C): 25 Min RH (%) : 30 Max Wind Speed (km/h): < 20 Southerly aspect < 15 Northerly aspect

Max BKDI:< 70 Max FDI: 8 ( subject to area assessment). Scorch Height: 0.6 x dominant tree height

Max Fuel Moisture Range: 12-25% Max Rate of Spread: 300m/hr. Average Flame height: up to 4m BURN AREA INFORMATION

Fine Fuel loads: 50-150 tons per hectare of logging slash, 10 – 20 tons per hectare in between tree heads.

Fuel arrangement: Multi-tiered structure (litter, grasses, shrubs, eucalypt regeneration and mature trees)

Terrain (gross area): 19 - 0%>30°, <1% @ 25°-30°, 4% @ 20°-25°, 30% @10°-20°, 66% @ 0°-10° slope. 20 - 0%>30°, <1% @ 25°-30°, 1% @ 20°-25°, 23% @10°-20°, 75% @ 0°-10° slope.

Time since last burn: 2011

IMPORTANT BURNING PRESCRIPTIONS • A small test burn must always be lit prior to main burn. This will assist in determining FIRE BEHAVIOUR and IGNITION PATTERNS. • Seek information from Harvesting Contract Coordinator on regrowth excluded burn areas. • Sections will be lit by drip torch to a determined ignition pattern. • Areas will generally be burnt from ridge tops down and into the wind to minimise excessive fire behaviour. • Minimise fire intensity in regrowth stands. • Where one or more of the parameters detailed in the regional burning guidelines is not met, burning may still be conducted provided the other parameters will provide favourable conditions for burning to meet the burn objectives. Any decision to conduct burning outside of the parameters must be fully documented by the Burning Supervisor in the field copy of the burn plan. ENVIRONMENTAL PRESCRIPTIONS

FLORA AND FAUNA:

Refer to Flora and Fauna sections of the Harvest plan document.

The burn crew should be aware of and look for any H & R trees, Allocasuarina feed trees, eucalypt feed trees, stags or yellow bellied glider/squirrel glider sap trees where logging debris is stacked >1m high within the 5m radius of the tree. If any are found, minimise damage to these trees by not directly lighting within 5m of the tree.

SOIL, WATER & AQUATIC HABITAT: Refer to Soils and Water and Drainage Features sections of the Harvest plan document.

• Preferred months of burn – March to August

• Fuel moisture differentials will be utilised to minimise impacts upon drainage features within the burn area

ABORIGINAL CULTURAL HERITAGE:

Refer to the cultural heritage section of the Harvest plan document to determine if there are any sites and if so refer to the cultural heritage map for the location of the sites. Significant sites, e.g. scar trees, groove stones, should be raked around to prevent fire damage. It is not necessary to exclude fire from isolated finds, artefact scatters or open camp sites.
