Section 943.3 - Mapping and Identification of Logging Roads and Landings

The following mapping and identification standards shall apply to Logging Roads and Landings:

(a) For Logging Road- and Landing-related mapping requirements refer to 14 CCR §§ 1034(x)(4)(A)-(E) and (5)(A)-(G), 1090.5(w)(4)(A)-(L) and (5)-(6), 1090.5(gg), 1090.7(n)(4)-(7), 1092.09 (l)(5)(A)(1.-5.) and (6)(A)-(G), 1094.6(e)(4)-(5), (11) and (15)-(16) and 1094.8(u)(4)-(7) and (13)-(14).
(b) The RPF shall identify in the field, for use by the LTO, all Logging Roads and Landings to be constructed or to be reconstructed:
(1) Across slopes greater than sixty-five (65) percent for one hundred (100) lineal feet or more.
(2) Across slopes greater than fifty (50) percent for one hundred (100) lineal feet or more within one hundred (100) feet of the boundary of a WLPZ that drains toward the zoned Watercourse or Lake.
(c) The location of all Logging Roads to be constructed or to be Reconstructed shall be flagged or otherwise identified on the ground prior to the pre-harvest inspection. Exceptions may be explained and justified in the Plan and agreed to by the Director if flagging is unnecessary as a substantial aid to examining:

(2) possible significant adverse effects of Logging Road location on the factors listed under 14 CCR § 943(b).
