Or. Admin. R. 629-623-0400 - Restriction of Timber Harvesting - Substantial Public Safety Risk
(1) Operators shall
not remove trees from high landslide hazard locations with substantial
downslope public safety risk unless a geotechnical report demonstrates to the
State Forester that any landslides that might occur will not be directly
related to forest practices because of very deep soil or other site-specific
conditions. Removal of dead or diseased trees or trees from sites that have
already failed is allowed if the operator demonstrates to the State Forester
that the operation results in no increased overall downslope public safety
risk.
(2) Operators shall leave a
sufficient number and arrangement of trees adjacent to high landslide hazard
locations to reduce the likelihood of trees retained in these locations blowing
down.
