2. Management Conditions on Boundaries Boundary Conditions
Private Property The eastern edge of the NHA of compartment 110 adjoins PP. Fences are generally non-existent. Marking as required on private property boundaries. FT responsibility.
National Park Bago Bluff NP to the north
Neighbourhood Noise
There are EPA regulations that relate to noise control when operating machinery within 100m from residential establishments.
When working in areas adjacent to private property, there is potential for noise associated with timber harvest and haulage to affect residential areas that occur within 100m of the active operation.
Restrictions on forest operations will apply according to the EPA regulations on neighbourhood noise.
• If working within 100m of a residential establishment, machinery
(including chainsaws) operating hours will be limited to between 7am
and 8pm Monday to Saturday, and 8am to 8pm on Sundays and Public
Holidays.
• Timber haulage trucks may enter or exit the site between 7am and
8pm Monday to Friday, and 8am to 8pm on Weekends and Public
Holidays.
The HC will monitor noise and dust resulting from the operation and take the appropriate action to minimise the effect on surrounding property owners.
SMZ / FMZ FMZ3A occurs in these compartments and are generally associated with rainforest. Crew responsibility.

Research No research plots nor plus trees were detected during planning. If any sites are identified, notify the planner immediately.
Modified Harvest Area
Apply 10m total exclusion on 4 sites as indicated on HPOM. No falling into or out of buffer – to be marked in the field by APLO. HC is to check markings before harvesting. Existing roads and trails through the modified harvest area may be used for snigging, however, disturbance should be minimised. Only those roads indicated to be used for haulage on the HPOM may be used for haulage.
Cultural Heritage Surveys have been conducted and no new sites were detected.
If any potential heritage sites are identified, place an interim 20m buffer around the site and notify the planner and APL immediately.

6. Infrastructure
Infrastructure Conditions
Gravel Pits Separate management plan. Do not disturb.
Fire Trails All mapped trails servicing dump locations must remain in a trafficable condition post-harvest in order to assist HR burning and other post logging management activities.
7. Harvesting Conditions
Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Condition for each stand condition
STS Heavy
The estimated net harvest area will be treated with STS heavy.
The objective is to harvest the merchantable component of the mature aged crop and retain the vigorous younger age class trees. FTs to mark growers for retention where operationally appropriate.
Crew to remove all merchantable stems not marked for retention and ensure mechanical disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration.
The crew must avoid damage to areas of advanced regeneration/pre-merchantable stems where possible to minimise damage to retained trees.
Future Treatment Area
Approximately 175ha in both compartments has been set aside for future treatment.
Monitoring Planning assumptions have been made as below, and therefore the HC must conduct Basal Area Monitoring in areas treated with Heavy STS.
HC is to monitor BA retention during harvesting using 15-20 BA post-harvest sweeps, randomly located across different stand types to ensure average BA is maintained.
Evidence of BA monitoring and the plot location must be documented by HC. Ideally monitoring of BA should occur prior to leaving each dump to ensure any variance to planned outcomes can be rectified.
Retained BA can be lower in high-quality BBT stands if suitable offset is used in other areas.
Any changes to treatment and non-harvest areas need to be endorsed by the Planning Supervisor.

Silviculture and Harvesting Prescriptions
Silvicultural Planning
Plantation clearfall harvesting. The planted species are a mixture of Flooded Gum and Blackbutt established during plantings from around 1962 to 1967. The stand condition is generally poorly stocked with medium to good size and good quality commercial trees (up to about 55cm dbh) with a stocking of around 100 to 160 dominant/co-dominant stems per hectare. Plantation establishment of the cleared area will be conducted under a separate operational plan, which will include site preparation, weed control and plantation establishment according to the Plantations and Reafforestation (Code) Regulation 2001, clauses 26, 27 and 28. Harvesting Prescriptions Harvesting areas are as shown on the Harvest Plan Operational Map.
• Hollow bearing trees that provide fauna habitat should be retained where they exist and where safe to do so (refer to PRA Code clauses 23 and 55).
• Pull/stack debris away from the road prism (and 3m beyond where possible to facilitate machine movement off roads) of any named roads and boundary trails, especially near intersections, passing bays and turnarounds.
Harvesting to assist where practicable
• Where adjacent harvesting and/or extraction works, badly suppressed trees with no commercial or obvious habitat value - outside buffers and modified harvest areas - may be opportunistically culled by harvester and/or skidder at the discretion of the operator. However these trees must not be placed/pushed/stacked within 5m of retained seed trees.
• Consider arrangement of tree heads during harvesting and extraction, particularly in areas where seed-tree silviculture is conducted. Preference for opportunistic alignment of larger piece size residues in rough stacks across the slope.
Special Conditions
Conditions of Authorisation
The harvesting areas are clearly defined on the HPOM.
• There are no exclusions within the authorised plantation area.
• Harvesting of drainage feature protection areas should be applied as per the PRA Code.
Road works
Internal compartment road works and feeder road maintenance via Cooks Hut Rd from Upsalls Creek Rd will be done prior to harvesting commencing under a separate road maintenance plan.

Forest Management Zoning
This Plantation area has the following FMZ zones and associated harvest conditions:
FMZ 5 - Native Plantation – Authorised Plantation – CH0905P – Harvest using Plantations and Reafforestation (Code) Regulation 2001 (referred to as the PRA Code).
Cultural heritage
Cultural heritage surveys have been completed and no new site was detected.
Condition 13.2 (FPC) and Condition 19 (PRA Code) applies; contractors and their staff must notify the Harvesting Coordinator if a site is identified so conditions can be developed. An interim minimum 50 m buffer zone must be placed around sites until a condition is developed.
Protection of Biodiversity and Unique or Special Wildlife Values
If the Harvesting Coordinator or contractor becomes aware of unique or special wildlife values (any endangered species, endangered ecological community or species presumed extinct) in the plantation area the Senior Field Ecologist must be immediately notified (Condition 13.1 FPC). Logging should cease in the immediate vicinity until such time that suitable prescriptions can be implemented. Hollow bearing trees that provide fauna habitat should be retained where they exist and where safe to do so (refer to PRA Code, clause 23). Soils and Water Protection – Refer Plantation FPC

drainage feature, and the tracks or wheels of harvesting and extraction machinery must not enter the area within 5 metre zone of a drainage line.
Trees in and between the bed and banks of drainage lines must not be felled.
Machinery operating in the buffer zone must:
• Not create water channels • Minimise soil exposure by using slash, litter or other ground cover • Use walkover extraction techniques where possible • Prevent skewing of machinery tracks • Elevate the leading edge of the log when skidding • No snigging along drainage depressions, or earthworks allowed in 5 m buffer zone of a drainage
depression
Falling into Drainage Features
• Where necessary, trees can be felled into rivers and drainage lines. Crowns, logs and debris (greater than 10cm in diameter and/or three metres long) must be removed with minimal disturbance to the beds and banks.
• Tree matter can only be left with Harvesting Coordinator approval.
Drainage Feature Crossings – See Clauses 37-41 of PRA Code, and 11.4 of FPC for full description of conditions
• The location and type of all drainage feature crossings must be approved by the Harvesting Coordinator and must be marked in the field prior to crossing construction.
• Crossing construction must minimise depositing loose material into the drainage feature or any disturbance to its bed and banks.
• 5 and 30 metre drainage must be constructed on approaches to extraction track crossings. • Temporary slash crossings may be constructed on drainage lines or depressions where the
crossing point is shallow and dry, the surrounding soil is dry, water is prevented from entering the crossing from the approaches and no earthworks are required to enable machinery to cross the drainage line or depression.
• Temporary crossings over a drainage feature must be removed with 5 days of the completion of harvesting.
• Road crossings, permanent crossings and crossings of rivers must be designed as per the requirements of the PRA code.
Operational Conditions
Slope limits within the plantation area - Clause 59 of PRA Code
• Slope limits for snigging within the plantation area is 30 degrees (for a given soil regolith of R1 and rainfall erosivity of 5050).
Windrow and debris management within the plantation area (Clause 52 of PRA Code) Windrows and debris heaps:
• Must be located outside buffer zones of drainage features or places or relics of cultural heritage.
• Must be heaped with minimum disturbance to topsoil.
• Must be located across the slope of the land where practical.

Wet Weather Controls
Condition 14 of the FPC describes a comprehensive list of wet weather controls that apply to this operation. • Hauling is prohibited over any road during wet weather if resulting rutting is likely to be more
than 150 millimetres deep for any distance exceeding 20 metres (FPC 14.5).
Tracks, Dumps and Roads
Extraction Tracks
All extraction tracks must be drained, maintained and managed in accordance with Part 5, Division 2 & Part 6 Division 4 of the PRA Code, and Conditions 5, 6 and 9 of the FPC:
• Wherever practicable, walkover extraction techniques are to be used in preference to snig track construction.
• Snig track drainage must be located and constructed to ensure that water flow or potential water flow does not occur on snig track or extraction track surfaces for distances exceeding those given in 9.2 of the FPC.
• Constructed snig track cross-banks must have a minimum effective unconsolidated height of 35 cm or consolidated height of 25 cm.
• If downhill snig tracks connect to a dump, tracks must enter the dump from the side, or a drainage cross-bank above where the track enters the dump must be constructed at the end of each day.
Log Dumps
All logs dumps must be managed as per Condition 14, 17 of the FPC and 60-61, 64 of the PRA Code.
• Field location of log dumps must utilise the most level site available, consistent with the location indicated on the Operational Map. It is permissible for the Harvesting Coordinator to move the location up to 200m from the indicated position to achieve this provided the new location is within the plantation area.
• Dumps must not be located in any buffer zone.
• Runoff from log dumps must not be discharged into drainage features or extraction tracks and must be dispersed onto stable surfaces.
• Dumps must be re-shaped, drained and, where it is considered that slash/debris cover and natural revegetation will not stabilise the surface, the dump must be enrichment planted or grass seeded.
• Excavators and truck mounted loaders may be used as stationery loaders when there is runoff from log dump surface. All other machinery must remain stationary when there is run-off from the dump surface. This condition does not apply to gravelled dumps (FPC 14.2.4 and PRA 64C)
• Bark and logging debris must not be stacked against retained trees. Following completion of logging on a log dump, bark and logging debris must be stacked 5 metres away from the surrounding forest and separated from other flammable material by mineral soil for a distance of 5 metres.
• Pushing bark around the dump with a blade is to be discouraged. Where bark has been pushed with the blade, the excavator must shake the soil out of the bark prior to the bark being added to the bark heap.
• Large amounts of bark should not be accumulated around the dump. Upon completion of each log dump, bark must be re-distributed throughout the surrounding harvest area. Bark piles

must not exceed one grapple load or push of the blade (approx. 2 cubic metres) and be deposited no closer than two metres apart.
• Off cuts must be stacked separately, away from the bark heaps.
Roads Roads must be managed as per conditions 18-20 of the FPC. • The Harvesting Coordinator must ensure that roads in use are inspected routinely to ensure
pavement and drainage is maintained.
• Blading off may only occur if it will cause no, or only minimal, damage to the road surface and soil material must be re-spread as soon as practicable.
• A section of road with a non-functioning culvert must be repaired as soon as practicable only.
