Or. Admin. R. 629-605-0180 - Interim Process for Protecting Sensitive Resource Sites Requiring Written Plans
Protection practices for sites requiring written plans under OAR 629-605-0170(5)(a) or (d) shall be determined for each site as follows:
(1) The State Forester shall
notify the operator and landowner of the presence of a site requiring a written
plan, and request their input into the decision making process.
(2) The State Forester shall, when practical,
inspect the proposed operation with the landowner or landowner's
representative, the operator, and the appropriate representative of the
Department of Fish and Wildlife. The State Forester shall then determine if the
proposed forest practice is in conflict with the protection of the sensitive
resource site.
(3) If planned
forest practices are determined to conflict with protection of the sensitive
resource site, the written plan must describe reasonable measures sufficient to
resolve the conflict in favor of the resource site. Reasonable measures to
resolve the conflict in favor of the resource site may include but are not
limited to preparing and implementing a habitat management plan, obtaining
approval of a plan for an alternate practice, limiting the timing of forest
practices, redesigning the proposed practices in favor of site protection and
excluding the forest activities outright.
(4) If planned forest practices are
determined not to conflict with protection of the sensitive resource site, the
written plan shall describe how the operation will be conducted in compliance
with existing forest practice rules. No additional protection measures shall be
required.
