Special Requirements
Non-harvest areas The HPOM indicates the non-harvest areas in the compartments, as detailed in the legend. Harvesting disturbance is not permitted in non-harvest areas unless authorised by the Regional Manager.
Noxious Weeds/Disease/Pests Hygiene Requirements The soil-borne pathogen Phytophthora cinnamomi is known to occur in the area. The fungus could also potentially be present within compartment 720. As a precaution to limit the spread of Phytophthora, the following conditions must be implemented. · Trucks and Contractor and SFO vehicles are to remain within the designated log dump locations and remain on licensed roads. · All contractor machinery is to be thoroughly washed down to remove all dirt/mud after the completion of the operation and before being floated from the compartment – SFO to supervise. · Brush loose dirt from boots and spray with a 50% metho/water mix (spray bottle) before leaving the compartment. · Excavator operator is to ensure that all loose dirt/plant material is bumped from the logs before loading onto truck.
Permanent Growth and Research Plots Any inventory plots located during the harvesting operation are to be treated the same as the surrounding area.
Rocky Terrain Rocky terrain may be encountered within the net planned area.
Flora Reserves Jingera Flora Reserve neighbours the compartment, with Dobbyns Road forming the boundary. A 20 metre road maintenance corridor applies along Dobbyns Road to allow for normal road maintenance activities (eg: road side clearing, road drainage and road re- alignment). Harvesting is not permitted within the road corridor. No harvest disturbance is permitted within Flora Reserves. Forest Management Zoning
FMZ 2 - Special Management (100m either side of Yowaka River), FMZ 3A (Wildlife) – Harvesting Exclusion, 3B (Visual) and FMZ 4- General Management (normal harvesting prescriptions apply) occur within the compartment. Refer to HPOM for more detail (note FMZ 3A is not shown on HPOM as it is contained within Smoky Mouse exclusion).
FMZ 2 Special Management and FMZ 3A (Wildlife) Harvesting Exclusion – Harvesting and harvesting machinery are not permitted in FMZ 2 or FMZ 3A areas. Prescribed burning is only permitted in these areas where fire does not conflict with underlying protection zones e.g. rainforest, cultural heritage etc. (Refer to cultural heritage flora and fauna sections of this plan and the standard harvest plan conditions for more detail).
FMZ 3B (Visual) Normal Prescriptions – A visual protection zone occurs within compartment 720. However the area has been assessed as not being seen from any major roads or townships, therefore harvesting is permitted under normal conditions specified in the harvesting prescription section (under normal harvesting zone).
