Certification This plan has been prepared in accordance with the Integrated Forestry Operations Approval issued under the Forestry and National Park Estate Act 1998. The Standard Harvest Plan Conditions for Native Forest Operations in Southern Region, South Coast apply to this operation. Prepared By: Kate Halton Endorsed By: Kevin Petty Approved By: Daniel Harvest Planning Regional Tuan Planner Manager Manager Signature Kate Halton Signature Kevin Petty Signature Daniel Tuan Date 16/1/2013 Date 16/1/2013 Date 18/1/2013

Note: Approval includes the Harvest Plan Operational Map (HPOM) and Burning Operational Map (BOM) with the corresponding approval date displayed on the map, verifying final approved version. Other maps included with this plan are Locality, Forest Type, Roading and Cultural Heritage (limited distribution).

Description of Proposal

Harvesting of native forest Harvesting of native forest, 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 poles & piles. 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. Attachment 3: Burning Plan prescribes burning requirements for this harvesting operation. Post-harvest burning should be confined as far as practicable to the Net Harvest Area. Site specific burning exclusions associated with other tenures, regrowth patches, and exclusions (flora, fauna, cultural heritage and other exclusion zones) are explained

within the relevant sections of this harvest plan, in the critical boundaries section of the burning plan and indicated on the HPOM and BOM. The BOM and critical boundaries section of the burning plan also considers exclusion zones in compartments surrounding the planned compartments. If the post-log burn escapes the containment lines, the burn supervisor should use this information to assess if it is necessary to extinguish the fire or if it is acceptable to allow fire to burn out to a secondary control line. During the planning stage the location and type of control lines required to contain fire within the nha are considered and listed in the control lines section of the burn plan. Snig track patterns should be designed to double as bare earth control lines for each of the proposed control lines specified in the burn plan and for any other critical boundaries identified during the operation (e.g. nest exclusions, regrowth patches). Where this is not practical, the Contract Coordinator is to assess the need for a bare earth break to be constructed close to harvesting exclusion boundaries and seek advice and approval from the Operations Team Leader for the additional earth works. The Contract Coordinator/SFO must record the following information in the burn plan and prior to burning use this information and any other relevant information from the CC/SFO notes to brief the Burning Supervisor: · Any new critical boundaries identified during the operation, · If works required for existing and proposed control lines were carried out, · If proposed control lines were deemed to be unsuitable (e.g. a proposed new road did not get constructed or where a mapped drainage line didn t occur to the full length as mapped), · If proposed control lines are no longer required (e.g. a section of the net harvest area did not get harvested) and will therefore not undergo post-log burning.

Silvicultural Planning Single Tree Selection The STS tract (485.3 ha) consists of a mixed aged mature stand combined with even aged regrowth/early mature trees and will be harvested under a light/medium single tree selection (STS) regime. The objective within the 485.3 ha net harvest area for this operation (resource units 1 & 2) is to remove 25%-35% of commercially mature trees (targeting poles) 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 and 2) of compartments 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041 & 1042 as indicated on the HPOM. Single Tree Selection (STS) must remove no more than 35% 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 &2 100% STS medium/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 35%. Retained trees should be evenly spaced throughout the resource unit. Note: The area of each silvicultural treatment must be mapped and recorded in the Post logging information section of this plan.

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. Post Log Burning Timing Parts of compartment 1039, and 1041 are within a Strategic Fire Advantage Zone for Shoalhaven Bush Fire Management Zone (refer to Burining Operations Map for detail). To maintain the values of this zone, where practical the CC should manage the configuration of harvesting so that harvesting is completed in this area by July 2013. This will enable the post log burn within this area to be carried out prior to the 2013/14 Wildfire season. Noxious Weeds/Disease/Pests Hygiene Requirements Compartments 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041 & 1042 are within Shoalhaven Shire Council which is a designated red zone for Myrtle Rust. In order to prevent the spread of Myrtle Rust all harvesting machinery, equipment and vehicles heading south or west from Shoalhaven Shire 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 Permanent Growth Plots A PGP (PSN 406) is located to the south of 1042/2 Rd (see HPOM). The PGP is to be treated the same as the surrounding harvested area. The Contract Coordinator must collect all metal measurement tags from trees fallen during harvesting and return them to the Resources Team Leader Batemans Bay. Research Plots In compartments 1039 & 1040, between Wandoo and Snowball Roads a silvicultural trail was set up but has since been abandoned. Any posts found in this area may be removed and the area is to be treated the same as the surrounding stand.

Southern Region Cpts 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041 & 1042, Currambene State Forest, Nowra Management Area

Any other 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 northern and southern boundaries of the compartments, 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 the compartments:

· 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.

Crown Lands Crown Lands Lot 0 falls within compartment 1042. This area must be excluded from harvesting and burning. The boundary of Lot 0 is not formed by a natural feature such as a road or stream and therefore must be marked in the field using gps. Part of Butterfly Road and Cpt 1042/2 Road runs through lot 0. Department of Trade and Investment Crown Lands has granted permission for log haulage and routine road maintenance to occur on these sections of road. During the operation these roads must be used and maintained in accordance with EPL best practice. Occupation Permits S.C.U.M Inc. Mountain Bike Tracks An occupation permit for S.C.U.M Inc. Mountain Bike Club exists in compartment 1038 & 1042 (Superbowl Track) and in compartment 1040 (Butterfly Track). The club has been notified that their club activities must cease in the areas where active harvesting is occurring. When active harvesting is taking place within the vicinity of the Occupation Permit for the tracks the entire forest will be closed to S.C.U.M Inc. When harvesting is taking place in areas outside the Occupation Permit for the tracks S.C.U.M Inc. may be permitted to use the tracks provided that the boundary of the active harvesting operation is clear and that no trucks will be hauling along roads used by the club. The CC must communicate with to communicate the details (timing and location) of forest closures. When harvesting within the Occupation Permit, damage to the tracks should be avoided by: · Where practical, not falling across the tracks.

i Removing heads/debris which have accidentally been felled accross tracks. i Snig across rather than along tracks. i Any hazards should be flagged/gps’d. Shoalhaven Water Underground Pipes Shoalhaven Water hold an occupation permit for water pipes along Pipeline Road (Refer to HPOM for detail). Harvesting machinery must not cross over the pipe unless to arrange a site inspection and site specific measures to protect the pipe are developed.

Endeavour Energy Powerlines Endeavour Energy hold an occupation permit for powerlines in the northern sections of compartments 1038, 1039 and 1040 (shown on HPOM). In February 2013 Endeavour Energy will be carrying out maintenance works to the powerlines. These works will involve locked gates being placed at the entrances to roads which lead to the maintenance works (refer to HPOM for location of gates). During these works, harvesting within the locked gate area should be avoided. If there is a need for the harvesting activity to occur within the locked gate area, the contract coordinator should contact Planning Manager Kevin Petty to obtain contact details for Endeavour Energy. The harvesting contractor must then liaise with the Endeavour Energy crew to ensure both worksites are managed safely (eg coordination of radio communications, worksite barriers, through traffic procedures) and should include an induction into one another’s site safety plans. Apiary 10 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 of permit holder Permit Number

i The Contract Coordinator must provide the apiary permittees with at least two weeks advance notice when bee boxes need to be removed or relocated. i A permanent apiary set down site is located on dump 23 (see HPOM). This site must be levelled and free of debris at the completion of logging. The other 2 permanent set down sites within the nha are not log dumps and will not be affected by the operation. i Permanent sites must not be ripped.

National Parks and Nature Reserves Jervis Bay National Park neighbours compartment 1040 to the east, however is not adjacent to the nha and is unlikely to be affected by the operation. Saltwater Swamp Nature Reserve forms the northern boundary of the nha of cpt 1040. This boundary is not formed by a natural feature such as a road or stream and therefore must be marked in the field using gps. The contract coordinator must contact NPWS, 1 months notice prior to marking this boundary to arrange for a NPWS employee to be present.

Underground Cables A dial before you dig request query of the compartment that underground Telstra cables are present in the southwestern corner of the nha in compartment 1038 and the western side of the nha in compartment 1042 (Refer to HPOM for detail). 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. When carrying out harvesting or road maintenance activities near cables, minimise ground disturbance across or along and increase depth of earth cover if required.

Any damages to cables must be immediately reported to Telstra on 13 22 03. Forest Management Zoning

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

FMZ 3B (Special Prescriptions-Catchment Protection): This zone is in place to contribute to the Jervis Bay Catchment Rural Environment Plan, in which Forestry Corporation of NSW is required to maintain forest cover within the management zone. The light/medium STS silviculture specified in the Silvicultural Planning section of this plan are sufficient to protect the values of this zone. No further management prescriptions are required.

FMZ 3A - No harvesting machinery or harvesting activities are allowed in this zone. As this area doubles as an owl landscape exclusion, fire should be excluded. FMZ 7 – This zone is comprised of underground Telstra cables, above ground electricity cables and underground water pipes. Refer to the hazards table and the occupation permits section of this plan for further details.

IFOA Required Approval of Forestry Activities

All areas of 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.

ATTACHMENT 3 POST-HARVEST BURNING PLAN

This burn plan will be managed in accordance with the principles detailed in the Forestry Corporation of NSW 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 inform the Operations Team Leader to discuss suitable strategies to manage the escaped fire.

PLANNING INFORMATION

Planned Burn Area: NHA of compartments 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041 & 1042, Currambene State Forest LGA: Shoalhaven 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 BOM map for details).

BURN OBJECTIVES

· 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 Owl Landscape, Ridge and Headwater, Green and Golden Bell Frog records, probable EEC (Swamp Sclerophyll on Coastal Floodplains) and probable Wetlands. · Note the FMZ 3A is not a critical boundary, however as it doubles as Owl Landscape in compartments 1041 & 1042, it should be treated as a critical boundary for this burning plan. Critical boundaries outside the planned compartments: · National Park and Nature Reserves · Private Property. · Vacant crown timbered lands · Exclusion for Ridge and Headwater. 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

HP_BB_1038_1039_1040_1041_1042_12 33 21-01-13 Southern Region Cpts 1038, 1039, 1040, 1041 & 1042, Currambene State Forest, Nowra Management Area

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): 0%>30 , 0% @ 25 -30 , 0% @ 20 -25 , 20% @10 -20 , 80% @ 0 -10 slope.

Time since last burn: 2003/04 (Broad area hazard reduction)

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

· Harvesting of unmapped drainage lines was planned to occur within these compartments. To ensure that >70% ground cover within the modified harvest zone of the unmapped drainage lines is not compromised, the burn supervisor should pay particular attention to the fuel moisture content of unmapped drainage line and not deliberately burn heads within the modified harvesting zone.

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.
