HARDWOOD FORESTS- SOUTHERN IFOA SOUTH COAST HARVESTING PLAN
Tallaganda State Forest - Compartment 2418
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 Harvest Plan Standard Conditions for Hardwood Forest Operations in South Coast apply to this operation. Prepared By: Kevin Petty Updated & Lee Blessington Harvest Approved By: Planner Planning Supervisor Signature Kevin Petty Signature Lee Blessington
Date 16/04/2003 Date 02/04/2015
Note: Approval includes the Harvest Plan Operational Map (HPOM) with the corresponding approval date displayed on the map, verifying final approved version. Other maps included with this plan are Locality, Forest Type, and Cultural Heritage (limited distribution).
Description of Proposal
Harvesting of Hardwood forest Harvesting of Hardwood forest, using Single Tree Selection silviculture subject to the Southern IFOA requirements will be undertaken within this planning unit. Timber harvesting will not be licensed under the EPL. 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.

Silvicultural Planning Single Tree Selection The single tree selection (STS) tract (205) is a predominantly mixed aged mature forest and will be harvested under a heavy STS regime. The objective within the 205 ha harvest area for this operation (resource unit 1) is to remove 45% of the basal area 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 harvest area of 2418 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.
Resource Species Composition Stand Structure and Condition Unit (Refer to HPOM for detail) 1 Overstorey dominated by brown • Resource unit is a mixed age forest with a barrel (E. fastigata), manna gum (E. predominantly mature\over mature viminalis), mountain gum (E. overstorey.

Harvesting Prescription
Resource Unit % of Silvicultural Treatment (Refer to Harvest HPOM for Area detail)
1 68% 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 (HC must first obtain approval from HS), -defer harvesting until ideal market conditions prevail, -consider harvesting under a light or medium STS regime 2 32% Excluded forest – no harvesting. Note: The area of each silvicultural treatment must be mapped and recorded in the Post logging information section of this plan.
Special Requirements
Noxious Weeds/Disease/Pests Hygiene Requirements There are no known noxious weeds, pathogens or diseases in the compartment. Harvesting Machinery is not required to be washed down prior to leaving the compartment. Road Works Within the compartment boundary only roads that are shown on the HPOM as EPL standard or sealed may be used for haulage.

• The HC must provide the apiary permittees with at least two weeks advance notice when bee boxes need to be removed or relocated.
Rocky Terrain Rocky terrain maybe encountered within the net planned area. FT/HC will continue to conduct on the ground mark-up and searches and report back to Planner/Field Ecologist any feature requiring further investigation.
National Parks and Nature Reserves Tallaganda National Park forms the western boundary of the harvest area as shown on the HPOM. No harvest disturbance is permitted within National Park or Nature Reserves. • Harvesting debris must not be left within five metres of the boundary fence lines.
HP_BB_2418_15 09-04-15 8 Southern IFOA – Compartment 2418, Tallaganda State Forest, Queanbeyan Management Area
• The contractor must repair any damage to fences. • Access roads must be maintained free of debris and in a trafficable state. • Boundaries must be marked in the field.
Underground Cables A dial before you dig request query of the compartment indicates that underground Telstra cables are present on the southern side of the compartment. No harvesting or roading is proposed in the vicinity of this cable.
From time to time above ground infrastructure associated with the cables occurs. Where this infrastructure is detected, the FT should pass the location and details on to the burning supervisor who should consider if extra protection measures (eg rake hoe line) are required.
Any damages to cables must be immediately reported to Telstra on 13 22 03. Forest Management Zoning
FMZ 3A Harvesting Excluded, FMZ 7 Non Forest and FMZ 4- General Management (normal harvesting prescriptions apply) occur within the compartment. Refer to HPOM for more detail.
FMZ 3A – 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 7 (Powerlines) – Apart from the conditions detailed in the safety section of this harvest plan, no other conditions apply. Construction of mineral earth breaks are not required along the boundary of this zone as it is clear and able to be used as a fire break in its current state.
IFOA Required Approval of Forestry Activities
Approvals have not been obtained for snig track construction and/or use, road construction, road re-opening, routine road maintenance and log haulage in FMZ 3A. If the HC identifies the need for harvesting related activities to occur within FMZ 3A during the operation, the Planner must be contacted to seek Planning Supervisor approval.
All Stream Exclusion Zones require prior Planning Supervisor approval before forest harvesting related activities (eg: road or snig track construction & reopening) can be undertaken. It is the responsibility of the HC to identify any exclusion areas which will need to be crossed during harvesting. The HC must then contact the Planner to obtain the necessary approval.

13 log dumps are indicated on the HPOM. Field location of log dumps must utilise the most level site available consistent with the location indicated on the HPOM. Inherent hazard level 1 Conditions 26, 27, 30, and 33 of Schedule 4 of the EPL must apply.
Drainage Feature Crossings 4 road crossings (B, C, E, F, C2 and C3) are approved for use on drainage features. (Refer to HPOM). Road crossing details are contained in Attachment 2 of this Plan.
Mass Movement Compartment 2418 is not in an area identified as having a potential for mass movement. No specific prescriptions relating to mass movement/snigging are required.
Suitability of existing log dams and gully stuffers There are no known log dams or gully stuffers on snig track or road crossings in the compartments. Condition 47 of Schedule 4 of the EPL must apply.
Post Log Burning Control Lines
To assist the post log burning crews prevent fire from entering areas to be excluded from burning, control line construction must be undertaken concurrently with harvesting. Where possible snig tracks patterns should be designed to double as control lines. Control lines must be located as close as reasonably practical to the feature to be excluded from burning. The HC must assess the areas harvested, snig track network and existing roads to determine if there are sufficient control lines in place and where required instruct the contractor to construct additional mineral earth control lines to supplement these. The HC must record instances where it was not possible to construct a suitable control line close to the feature to be excluded and recommend harvest areas which should be excluded from the post log burning operation due to inadequate control lines. The table below lists critical boundaries in compartment 2418. Where possible design snig track patterns so they double as bare earth containment lines as close as possible to these boundaries. Where this is not practical, it is NOT necessary to construct a bare earth break along boundary of the exclusion; the practice of no direct ignition will be followed. Critical boundary Completed Yes /No FMZ3A RHH Wetland
The table below lists critical boundaries in compartment 2418. Where possible design snig track patterns so they double as bare earth containment lines as close as possible to these boundaries or use roads. Where this is not practical, HC must instruct contractor to construct a bare earth break (drained as per EPL snig track conditions) as close as possible to the critical boundary. Critical boundary Completed Yes /No
