Contractor must ensure timber removed is allocated to the correct compartment when entered onto Delivery Docket.

2. Management Conditions on Boundaries Boundary Conditions

FMZ FMZ 3A – Harvesting Excluded, FMZ 3B – special Prescriptions (visual), and FMZ 4 – General Management occur within the compartment and are shown on the HPOM.

FMZ 3A – Harvesting and harvesting machinery are not permitted in these areas. The crew must protect all areas of FMZ 3A.

FMZ 3B (Visual) – A visual protection zone exists adjacent the South East Forests National Park. The PA is not required to mark this boundary but must supervise implementation of harvesting prescriptions (see table 7).

National Park National Park forms the eastern boundary of the compartment and is shown on the HPOM. The PA must mark the boundary as mapped. The crew must ensure access roads to the National Park are not impeded by forestry activities and the roads condition is maintained.

Cultural Heritage Surveys have been conducted.

Forest Permits

6. Infrastructure Infrastructure Conditions

Utilities Underground Nil

Transmission lines Nil

Radio Tower A telecommunications tower is located on the eastern edge of coupe 5 in National Park. Tower not adjacent to harvesting operations. Road access to tower to remain open.

Control Lines for Post Log Burning

In this compartment, post log burning must be prevented from entering the National Park.

Control lines to be constructed by the crew are indicatively mapped on HPOM, however final location will depend on snig tracks and areas harvested.

The PA must liaise with the Protection Coordinator during harvesting to more accurately plan where control lines are required.

Existing Fire Trails Existing fire trails and through access should be left in a trafficable condition, free of harvesting debris and any installed rollovers must be trafficable.

7. Harvesting Conditions

Silviculture Type Harvesting Objectives and Condition for each stand condition

FMZ 4 & FMZ 3B – MAF (Modified Shelter Wood)

Coupes 1 (part), & 3

The harvest area is predominately mature to over mature E. fastigata (Brown Barrel), E. cypellocarpa (Monkey Gum), E. elata (River Peppermint) and E. nitens (Shining Gum), in mixed aged stands. The objective is to harvest all commercially available trees to create canopy openings and ensure mechanical disturbance creates a suitable seed bed for regeneration of the stands.

Crew to target sawlogs, pulpwood and other miscellaneous products as markets allow.

Crew to remove all merchantable stems not marked for retention.

The crew is responsible for protecting retained seed trees and retaining patches of advanced regeneration.
