4. Forest Description

Forest Type: (See Forest type map) • The harvest unit is dominated by Type 37- dry blackbutt on the tops of the ridges.

• Brushbox Type 53 and Tallowood Type 47 located on the moister lower slopes.

• Plantation (type 218), predominantly Flooded Gum & Blackbutt of various different age c lasses is excluded from this plan, with the exception of small section of predominantly Flooded Gum plantation in compartment 331 along the Bobo River.

Harvest History: • Compartment histories indicate that the area has an extensive harvest & silvicultural

history dating back to the late 1800s.

• The most recent harvest events include a thinning operation in 1996 and a selective logging operation in compartments 330 & 331 in 2003.

• Large areas of the compartments have been planted with Black Butt & Flooded gum plantations. Records indicate that the plantations were first established in the early to mid sixties. More recent plantations were established after a major fire in the mid nineties.

c 328 329 330 331 - 2


Stand Description: Mixed Aged, BBT regrowth

• The BBT forest type is generally in good condition. There are two distinct age classes present- mature trees and regeneration 25-30 years old. Previous harvest operations have left a higher percentage of LQ but it is anticipated that the bush will cut approximately 1/3 (HQL, HQS, Poles, Veneer) and 2/3 LQ.

Mixed Aged , Mixed Species regrowth • The mixed hardwoods stands are generally poorer than the BBT stands. Brush box forest

dominates the hardwoods and is found in association with Tallowood, Sydney Blue Gum & Flood Gum in the overstorey and viney scrub and mesic elements in the understorey. Yields are likely to be lower than in the BBT.

Even aged Flooded Gum • There is an area of 12 Ha of predominantly flooded gum plantation in compartment 331

established in the mid 60s along the Bobo River that has been included in this plan as FMZ zone 4 and is available for harvest. The stand is of mixed quality but there are veneer quality stems available.

Site Quality • Generally excellent site quali ty w ith site height 35-45m

Stand health • The stand health is of good quality with relatively little defect.

5. Silviculture and Harvesting Prescriptions

Notwithstanding the prescriptions detailed below, a ll conditions of the IFOA, including General and Species Specific conditions of the Threatened Species Licence and the Environment Protection Licence are to be applied, where they are described in this plan or in the respective licences.

Objectives: • Maximise the recovery of merchantable timber from the mature age/size cohort within the

constraints of the harvest plan

• Create suitable conditions for a regeneration event.

• Enrichment seeding/ planting

Single Tree Selection prescription: • Tree removal and ground disturbance must also maximise regeneration opportunities.

• Single Tree Selection must remove no more than 40% of the basa l area across the net harvest area.

• Trees with dbhob <20cm must not be selected for harvesting under STS (1.5.1 0 I FOA).

- - - -

HARVEST PLAN No. 3964 - Wild Cattle Creek SF, Compartments 328, 329, 330 & 331

• BA removal may exceed 40% in some localized areas, but will be balanced by non harvest areas and tree retention across the tract.

If heavy STS is implemented, seed tree retention , mechanical disturbance and enrichment planting may be required. Seed trees should be

• as tall as possible (-30-40m), • have good form , • be in the size range 40-?0cm dbhob and • generally be spaced at 1.5x tree height but not more than 2x tree height (trunk to trunk). • Trees in retention areas may also serve as seed trees. • Seed trees may also fulfil tree retention requirements of the TSL.

Mechanical Disturbance • Ensure ground disturbance is sufficient to create suitable seedbed for regeneration • SFO to map and recommend any areas requiring additional disturbance • Encourage knocking over of as much non-vigourous unmerchantable material as possible.

Enrichment Planting/Seed ing • Seed is to be collected during the harvest operation and dispersed over suitably disturbed

and/or burnt areas, preferably during the wet season (January/February).

• Enrichment planting to be conducted as determined by the Harvesting Forester.

• Seedlings planted must be of the same species present prior to harvest with the objective of ensuring that species proportions following planting are sim ilar to pre-harvest proportions (IFOA Cl. 37).

6. S~ecial Conditions

6.1 Unmapped rainforest

There is likely to be unmapped rainforest in the harvest area. Continue searching during mark up and retain in accordance with Forest Practices Circular 2005/2.

6.2 Seasonal Harvesting and Burning Restrictions Yes

• In compartments 328, 329 & 331 logging is to be excluded from harvesting 1 January to 31 March inclusive, for slopes ;;:::25°.

• Compartment 330 is to be excluded from harvesting 1 December to 30 April inclusive, for slopes ;;:::20°.

Condition 36/37 of Schedule 4 of the EPL applies. During the months of February- December burning may be carried out by top disposal only.

6.3 Noise & dust

Where there are residences in close proximity to an operation or haulage route that are likely to be affected by noise & dust (as determined by the SFO), mitigation measures to lessen the impact on those residences will apply. These measures are to be determined on a site specific basis by the SFO and should be discussed with the Harvesting Team Leader.

6.4 Critical Boundaries

The harvest unit is wholly within State Forest. All other critical boundaries such as FMZ & rainforest are as indicated on the map.

6.5 Haulage Considerations

• Haulage is planned to access the Orara Way via Timmsvale Road & Dorrigo- Coramba Rd. This route is not suitable for 8-doubles.

Safety Issues (includes hazards, public use of roads)

Timmsvale Road is frequently used for recreation purposes, be aware of potential for local traffic. Use appropriate road closure & signage.

Short Term Haulage Roads Short Term haulage Roads are shown on the operational map. They are currently vegetated

and stable. These roads may be used for haulage, subject to the following conditions:

• Roads must be left vegetated until immediately prior to use • Drainage is installed to EPL specifications within 5 days of completion of haulage

operations (crossbanks) • Rollovers or other EPL compliant drainage are installed where road grade is less than

3 degrees • EPL compliant drainage is installed 5-30m either side of any drainage line crossing • Minimise disturbance to vegetated, working table drains • Temporary drainage is installed in the event of ongoing rainfall or cessation of

operations for more than 2 days.

• Road Drainage spacings may exceed those specified in Schedule 5 of the EPL where:

mitre drains cannot be constructed (eg side cut road); road grade exceeds 3 degrees

Consideration to be given to implementation of additional site specific conditions as appropriate such as:

• Utilising outfall and other forms of drainage (modified rollovers) • Installing energy dissipaters in table drains ; and • Installing silt mesh /trapping on drain outlets if native vegetation filtering is

inadequate.

4. General Conditions

Remove trees in accordance with FNSW Safety Standard 1.3.9; and

Remove vegetation within 3m of the road prism only where required to maintain safe sight distance and passage of trucks.

Note: Clearing is generally permitted within 3m of the road prism for all roads. Ground disturbance and tree debris may impact outside this 3m either side of the road prism as is required to effect clearing within 3m of the road prism. Conditions 5, 6 and 47 Schedule 5 of the EPL must apply.
