silviculture

bull These compartments have been harvested over long periods with recorded events during the 1960s 1970s and 1980s

Stand Description There are four agesize stands in this area bull Advanced sapling -1 0-20cm dbhob regrowth from the 1992-93 harvest events bull PoleEarly Mature 40-60cm dbhob component resulting from harvest events in the

60s and 70s bull Mature stands comprising 60-100cm dbhob age group bull Late Mature over-mature stands gt1 OOcm dbhob age group

Site Quality bull Generally good site quality with site height 30-40m bull Non commercial forest type on sites along Clouds Creek

Stand health bull Good -some old defective trees in healthy regrowth stands

[5 Silviculture and Harvesting Prescriptions

Notwithstanding the prescriptions detailed below all 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 th is plan or in the respective licences

Objectives bull Maximise the recovery of merchantable timber from the mature agesize cohort within

the constraints of the harvest plan

bull Create suitable conditions for a regeneration event

62 Critical Boundaries

Private Property adjoins compartment 201 to the west These Boundaries are fenced

National Park Chaelundi NP adjoins compartments 199 and 201 to the north This boundary is remote from the harvest area and is clearly demarcated by Clouds Creek

Other critical boundaries bull If there is any doubt about the location of a critical boundary clarification must be sought

form the Harvest Team Leader to determine the requirements for boundary mark-up

bull Harvesting must not impact on private property or National Park or any fence line Fence on the eastern boundary must be protected

bull Any damage to a functional fence must be immediately repaired by the contractor

63 Haulage Considerations

bull Haulage is planned to access the ArmidaleGrafton Road via Blue Flat Road and Frosts Plantations

bull The haulage route passes through the area of a grazing occupation permit that exists over Frosts plantation All gates are to be closed at the completion of operations each evening The front gate adjoining Grafton-Armidale Road must also be locked at the completion of operations each evening and on weekends The permitee conducts cattle processing in the yards from time to time During such periods each of the four gates along the haulage route will be required to be kept closed at all times It is the responsibility of the harvesting team leader to maintain contact with the permitee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage operators

bull Additional signage should be used on GraftonArmidale to notify traffic of turning trucks

bull It is the responsibility of the Harvesting Team Leader to maintain contact with the permittee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage contractors

silviculture

bull These compartments have been harvested over long periods with recorded events during the 1960s 1970s and 1980s

Stand Description There are four agesize stands in this area bull Advanced sapling -1 0-20cm dbhob regrowth from the 1992-93 harvest events bull PoleEarly Mature 40-60cm dbhob component resulting from harvest events in the

60s and 70s bull Mature stands comprising 60-100cm dbhob age group bull Late Mature over-mature stands gt1 OOcm dbhob age group

Site Quality bull Generally good site quality with site height 30-40m bull Non commercial forest type on sites along Clouds Creek

Stand health bull Good -some old defective trees in healthy regrowth stands

[5 Silviculture and Harvesting Prescriptions

Notwithstanding the prescriptions detailed below all 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 th is plan or in the respective licences

Objectives bull Maximise the recovery of merchantable timber from the mature agesize cohort within

the constraints of the harvest plan

bull Create suitable conditions for a regeneration event

62 Critical Boundaries

Private Property adjoins compartment 201 to the west These Boundaries are fenced

National Park Chaelundi NP adjoins compartments 199 and 201 to the north This boundary is remote from the harvest area and is clearly demarcated by Clouds Creek

Other critical boundaries bull If there is any doubt about the location of a critical boundary clarification must be sought

form the Harvest Team Leader to determine the requirements for boundary mark-up

bull Harvesting must not impact on private property or National Park or any fence line Fence on the eastern boundary must be protected

bull Any damage to a functional fence must be immediately repaired by the contractor

63 Haulage Considerations

bull Haulage is planned to access the ArmidaleGrafton Road via Blue Flat Road and Frosts Plantations

bull The haulage route passes through the area of a grazing occupation permit that exists over Frosts plantation All gates are to be closed at the completion of operations each evening The front gate adjoining Grafton-Armidale Road must also be locked at the completion of operations each evening and on weekends The permitee conducts cattle processing in the yards from time to time During such periods each of the four gates along the haulage route will be required to be kept closed at all times It is the responsibility of the harvesting team leader to maintain contact with the permitee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage operators

bull Additional signage should be used on GraftonArmidale to notify traffic of turning trucks

bull It is the responsibility of the Harvesting Team Leader to maintain contact with the permittee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage contractors

bull The haulage route passes through the area of a grazing occupation permit that exists over Frosts plantation All gates are to be closed at the completion of operations each evening The front gate adjoining Grafton-Armidale Road must also be locked at the completion of operations each evening and on weekends The permitee conducts cattle processing in the yards from time to time During such periods each of the four gates along the haulage route will be required to be kept closed at all times It is the responsibility of the harvesting team leader to maintain contact with the permitee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage operators

bull Additional signage should be used on GraftonArmidale to notify traffic of turning trucks

bull It is the responsibility of the Harvesting Team Leader to maintain contact with the permittee and communicate changes to gate closures to the harvesting and haulage contractors
