Management Conditions Boundary Conditions SMZ / FMZ FMZ 3B – Special Prescriptions (catchment) and FMZ 4 – General Management occur within the compartment and are shown on the HPOM. FMZ 3B (Catchment) – The PA is not required to mark this boundary. Cultural Heritage Surveys have been conducted. No sites were identified. If any potential heritage sites are identified they should be recorded on FCMapApp, and the ACHO notified immediately. A 20m interim buffer must be observed pending further investigation. Haulage North via 63 Logging Road, Back Creek Road then north or south on Batlow- Tumbarumba Road. OR North west on Hardy’s Road, Bullongra Road, Bago Forest Way, Kopsens Road and then north or south on Batlow-Tumbarumba Road. Community Notifications - All relevant notifications have been conducted. A notification list for FCNSW staff is available from the planner. Apiary Ranges – 2 apiary ranges are occupied. Contact Name Site # Contact I I I I Bee Permit holders must be contacted by the PA at least two weeks prior to use of any log dumps that are occupied by bee hives. Infrastructure Existing Fire Trails - Roads used for haulage should be left in a trafficable condition, free of harvesting debris and any installed rollovers must be trafficable. Traffic Control Plan – The crew is responsible for road closures when harvesting 2 tree lengths of any public use forest road.

Please verify this is the latest version prior to use. Pests/Weeds Blackberries Blackberry infestation occurs within the compartment and surrounding area. All harvesting machinery, equipment and vehicles that come into contact with the weed must be inspected prior to leaving the compartment and cleaned of vegetative material. Also refer to special conditions in Regeneration Risk and Mitigation section below. Control Lines for Post Log Existing compartment roads will act as control lines Burning The PA must liaise with the harvesting crew to construct any additional control lines during harvesting. Any new tracks constructed for use as control lines must comply with SOP 8. 4. Harvesting Conditions Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Stand Condition Shelterwood The harvest area is predominately mature Alpine Ash in predominately even- aged stands. The objective is to create canopy openings and ensure mechanical Entire harvest area disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration. (FMZ 3B & 4) The objectives will be achieved by harvesting the compartment using a 2 stage shelterwood system. The 1st stage will involve removing merchantable trees throughout the compartment down to the minimum average retained BA of 10m2. The operator will select trees containing sawlog for retention to make up the 10m2 BA so as to ensure economic viability of the subsequent operation. Additional well-formed seed trees should be retained if required to ensure adequate regeneration. The 2nd stage will involve removal of the retained sawlog trees (shelterwood) and will be carried out approximately 5-10 years after the initial harvest. BA Monitoring The PA must conduct Basal Area monitoring as per CIFOA Protocol 7 in areas treated with the Shelterwood harvesting system. The minimum BA limits are shown below. Regeneration Requirements These forests generally comprise of non-lignotuberous eucalypt species that regenerate primarily from seed. Successful regeneration requires sufficient canopy removal, a good seed bed that is free from grass/shrub competition and adequate seed stock.
