					 owl if any of the following conditions exist:
(1) Feeding habits would be significantly
					 impaired because prey base or ability to catch prey would be adversely
					 altered;
(2) Breeding success would
					 be significantly impaired because of a reduction in surrounding Owl Habitat
					 before the young have had an opportunity to successfully disperse from their
					 nesting site;
(3) Nesting behavior
					 would be significantly impaired because the Nest Site or adjoining area up to
					 500 feet from the Nest Site would be adversely altered; or

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The Board has the responsibility under the FPA to provide
						protection to all Species occurring in the state's forestlands. The procedure
						to identify those Species that warrant special protection during Timber
						Operations is described as follows:
(a) The public or public agencies may
					 petition the Board to classify a Species as a "Sensitive Species." For the
					 Board to consider such a petition, it must contain a discussion of the
					 following topics:
(1) Range and distributional
					 status of the Species which includes an assessment of occurrence in Timberland
					 as defined by the FPA and Rules.
(2) Indices of population trends describing
					 the abundance of the Species.
(3)
					 Biotic and abiotic factors affecting the population viability or status of the
					 Species. Specific attention should be given to factors related to forest
					 management and harvesting. This should include threats to population and
					 habitat viability, including direct, indirect, and cumulative effects from
					 these and other threats.
(4)
					 Habitat availability and trends that include, but are not limited to, an
					 assessment of the following as appropriate:
A.
					 Dependence on general habitat conditions altered by typical forest management
					 activities and projected time for habitat recovery,
B. Dependence on special habitat elements
					 adversely impacted by Timber Operations,
C. Habitat continuity and juxtaposition
					 requirements as an evaluation of sensitivity to habitat
					 fragmentation.
(5)
					 Suggested Feasible protective measures required to provide for Species
					 protection.
(6) Other information
					 specific to the Species proposed that the petitioner believes to be relevant in
					 assisting the Board to evaluate the petition.
(7) Sources of information relied upon to
					 complete the petition.
(8)
					 Recommended forest practice Rules to provide guidance to RPF's, LTO's,
					 landowners and the Director on Species protection.
(9) The potential economic impacts of
					 classifying a Species sensitive.
