The Harvest Plan Standard Conditions for Hardwood Forest Operations in South Coast apply to this operation. Prepared By: Darryl Chaffey Updated & Lee Blessington Harvest Approved By: Planner Planning Supervisor Signature Darryl Chaffey Signature Lee Blessington Date 14/07/2011 Date 13/01/15 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, Roading 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 in compartment 1153 will be EPL licensed; and - Timber harvesting in compartment 1156 will not be EPL licensed. 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.

Comments: No signage required Description of Work to be undertaken on site: - Refer to description of proposal above. Site Supervisor Name: Contact number: Communication Radio channel number VHF: UHF Other (e.g. hand signals): Traffic management (describe) e.g. Signage, Road closure, Traffic control This plan assumes haulage from the compartments will be east via Hawthorn Road turning right onto Wandean Road (80km/hr Road). The Hawthorn/Wandean Roads intersection has been assessed as achieving a minimum of 160m sight distance on both approaches. Therefore at this intersection additional signage in accordance with a Traffic Control Plan is not required. Road intersections outside the control of FCNSW are not covered by this plan or any FCNSW Traffic Control Plan. Haulage contractors must abide by RTA road laws and standard operating procedures in relation to haulage routes outside the control of FCNSW. Dust, noise and school bus routes Dust and noise – Where log haulage routes pass close to rural housing along natural surface/gravel roads dust and noise must be minimised to the greatest extent practicable. Trucks should reduce speed, restrict use to daylight hours and minimise the use of engine brakes through these areas.
