Prepared By: Melanie Endorsed By: Shane Approved By: Daniel Harvest Dyne Harvest Planning Clohesy Regional Tuan Planner Team Leader Manager Signature Melanie Signature Shane Signature Daniel Dyne Clohesy Tuan Date 05/04/2012 Date 05/04/2012 Date 05/04/2012 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 habitat quality class (SFO and indicative). Description of Proposal Harvesting of native forest (a) Integrated Harvesting of Native Forest: Mixed-age stands dominated by a commercially mature overstorey will be harvested to create regeneration opportunities through integrated harvesting of sawlogs and pulpwood with the retention of trees for future sawlogs, fauna habitat, seed trees, visual maintenance and soil and water protection. This operation will be licensed under the EPL with notification sent to the regulatory authorities as per clause 23 of Integrated Forestry Operations Approval (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 Flora, Fauna, Cultural Heritage, Riparian and other exclusion zones are explained within the relevant sections of this Harvest Plan and indicated on the HPOM. Where practicable, snig track patterns should be designed to double as bare earth control lines to prevent fire entering specified burning exclusion zones and other tenures, i.e. Smoky Mouse, Southern Brown Bandicoot & significant Cultural Heritage sites. Where this is not practical, the SFO 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 Harvesting Team Leader for the additional earth works. Specific areas identified during the planning stage which require a mineral earth break are identified in the burning plan.
