						Commission on July 5, 1977.
The Buffer Zone adjacent to designated Coastal highways
						shall be a 200 foot (60.96 m) wide band running parallel to the first line of
						trees nearest the road on appropriate side(s) of the road as designated. In no
						place shall the Buffer Zone extend more than 350 feet (106.68 m) from the
						shoulder of the road. The Buffer Zone also shall include those forested areas
						within the Coastal Zone within 200 feet (60.96 m) of all publicly owned
						preserves and recreation areas including national, state, regional, county, and
						municipal parks. Said distances shall be measured along the surface of the
						ground.
(a) The clear-cutting or
					 rehabilitation silvicultural method is prohibited within the designated Buffer
					 Zones, and a well distributed stand of trees shall be left within said Buffer
					 Zones upon completion of Timber Operations, except under exceptional
					 circumstances. Such exceptions shall be explained and justified in the Plan and
					 found in conformance by the Director when the proposed exceptions conform to

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
Constructed and Reconstructed Logging Roads and Landings
						shall be designed and located in accordance with their proposed use,
						maintenance requirements, and the approved Plan.
(a) All Logging Roads and Landings shall:
(1) Avoid or mitigate potential impacts to
					 public safety.
(2) Avoid Unstable
					 Areas and Connected Headwall Swales to the extent Feasible and minimize
					 activities that adversely affect them.
(3) Minimize the size of cuts and Fills to
					 the extent Feasible.
(4) Be
					 outsloped where Feasible and drained with Waterbreaks and/or Rolling Dips in
					 conformance with other applicable Forest Practice Rules.
(5) Be hydrologically disconnected from
					 Watercourses and Lakes to the extent Feasible to minimize sediment delivery
					 from road runoff to a Watercourse, and reduce the potential for hydrologic
					 changes that alter the magnitude and frequency of runoff delivery to a
					 Watercourse. Guidance on methods for Hydrologic Disconnection may be found in
					 "Board of Forestry Technical Rule Addendum Number 5: Guidance on Hydrologic
					 Disconnection, Road Drainage, Minimization of Diversion Potential, and High
					 Risk Crossings" (1st Edition, revised 04/21/15), hereby incorporated by

(6) Include adequate
					 drainage structures and facilities necessary to avoid concentrating and
					 diverting runoff, to minimize erosion of roadbeds, Landing surfaces, drainage
					 ditches, Sidecast and Fills, to minimize the potential for soil erosion and
					 sediment transport, and to prevent Significant Sediment Discharge. Guidance on
					 methods for conformance with this rule section may be found in "Board of
					 Forestry Technical Rule Addendum Number 5: Guidance on Hydrologic
					 Disconnection, Road Drainage, Minimization of Diversion Potential, and High
					 Risk Crossings" (1st Edition, revised 04/21/15), hereby incorporated by

(7) Avoid crossing, or
					 locations on, 100 feet or more of lineal distance over any slopes greater than
					 65% or within 100 feet of the boundary of a WLPZ on slopes greater than 50%
					 that drain toward the zoned Watercourse or Lake. Where Logging Road or Landing
					 construction or reconstruction is proposed in these areas, specific measures to
					 minimize movement of soil and the discharge of concentrated surface runoff
					 shall be incorporated in the Plan. The Director may waive inclusion of such
					 measures where the RPF can show that slope depressions, drainage ways, and
					 other natural retention and detention features are sufficient to control
					 overland transport of eroded material.

					 be utilized where Feasible and appropriate.
(c) All new drainage structures and
					 facilities on Watercourses that support fish or listed aquatic Species shall
					 allow for unrestricted passage of all life stages that may be present, and
					 allow for the natural movement of bedload to form a continuous bed through the
					 crossing. Such structures and facilities shall be fully described in the Plan

					 crossings shall be provided, where fish are always or seasonally present or
					 where fish passage is restorable. Where it is determined that current crossing

					 to address these conditions subject to the Director's review and
					 determination.
(e) The location of
					 all new permanent constructed and reconstructed, and temporary Logging Road
					 Watercourse crossings, including those crossings to be abandoned or
					 deactivated, shall be shown on a map. If the structure is a culvert intended

					 to determine the culvert Diameter shall be specified in the Plan.
(1) The location of all Logging Road
					 Watercourse crossings to be constructed or Reconstructed shall be flagged or
					 otherwise identified on the ground prior to the pre-harvest inspection, if
					 necessary, or prior to Logging Road Watercourse crossing construction or
					 reconstruction. 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 possible significant adverse effects of the crossing location on the
