Areas are mapped rainforest with High Conservation Value Old Growth embedded in Mapped Limited Falling Exclusion Zones. FMZ 4 – Available and displayed (in yellow) on the HPOM as net harvest area. Available for harvest under conditions of the Harvest & Haul Plan. FMZ 7 – located in close proximity to the banks of Kangaroo River and coincides with Improved Pasture & Cropland on the Forest Type Map. There is an absence of trees in this area. It is a harvesting exclusion zone that is to be located by the Crew using GPS. Nymboi-Binderay Sandy Creek forms the boundary of the planning unit, with National Park, in the National Park far north-western tip of the planning unit. Sandy Creek is 4th order drainage line and is protected by a 50 m harvesting exclusion. The Crew is to identify and implement mapped exclusion zone using GPS. Cultural Heritage Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Survey report is pending. No operations to take place until report and consultation has been completed and prescriptions incorporated into the Harvesting and Haul Plan. In the interim, numerous Harvesting Exclusion Zones have been mapped within the operational area. If any potential heritage sites are identified an interim 100m exclusion buffer must be applied and Planning Supervisor notified as soon as possible. Private Property Private property plantation forms the boundary of the harvesting unit in the Plantation north and east. Much of this boundary is fenced. The FT must mark this (Non FCNSW) boundary. The FT must mark the boundary conservatively in the absence of any physical markers.

Caution must be exercised when traversing the terrain close to this location, especially where the ground surface is obscured by understorey vegetation. If any mine shafts are identified they must be clearly marked in the field prior to commencing operations in the area, and ensure personnel are aware that other potential shafts may exist.
7. Harvesting Conditions
Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Condition for each stand condition
STS Medium In stands dominated by mixed spotted gum forest type, the objective is to harvest all the mature merchantable stems within the stand to open up the Mixed Spotted Gum canopy and mechanically disturb the soil to encourage vigorous regeneration forest type (both lignotuberous and from seed).
The crew is responsible for selecting retained seed trees along with retaining growers and patches of advanced regeneration for harvest in approximately 15-20 years.
Monitoring Basal area monitoring is required. Any changes to the silvicultural treatment and/or establishment of offset areas must be endorsed by the Planning Supervisor.
IFOA Limits Medium STS Total STS Tract 432 ha 432 ha Pre-harvest BA (m2) 23 m2/ha 9,936 m2 Post-harvest BA (m2) 15 m2/ha 6,480 m2 Planned Removal 8 m2/ha 35%
