Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a)
					 The Designated Agent may submit a proposed deviation, as prepared by the RPF,
					 to the approved Plan. No action shall occur that substantially deviates, as
					 defined by the Board, from the approved Plan until the substantial deviation
					 has been approved by the Director. The Director shall determine, after
					 completion of the interagency review and public comment period, either of the
					 following:
(1) The substantial deviation is
					 in compliance with the current Board Rules and provisions in the FPA.
(2) The substantial deviation is in
					 compliance with the Board Rules and provisions in the FPA that were in effect
					 at the time the WFMP was approved. The Director may only make this
					 determination if a RPF explains, justifies, and certifies both of the
					 following:
(A) The adherence to new or
					 modified Board Rules would cause unreasonable additional expense, pursuant to
					 PRC §
													4583,
					 to the Working Forest Landowner(s).
(B) Compliance with the Board Rules and
					 provisions in the FPA that were in effect at the time the WFMP was approved
					 will not result in any significant degradation to the beneficial uses of water,
					 soil stability, forest productivity, or wildlife.
California Code of Regulations › Title 14 - Natural Resources › Division 1.5 - Department of Forestry and Fire Protection › Chapter 4 - Forest Practices › Subchapter 7 - Administration › Article 6.95 - Working Forest Management Plan Administration › Section 1094.24 - Report of Minor Deviations

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
(a) "Minor deviations" means any change,
					 minor in scope, in a Plan which can reasonably be presumed not to make a
					 significant change in the conduct of timber operations and which can reasonably
					 be expected not to significantly adversely affect timberland productivity or
					 values relating to soil, water quality, watershed, wildlife, fisheries, range
					 and forage, recreation, and aesthetic enjoyment or to result in a violation of
					 the applicable water quality control plan.
(b) Minor deviations may be undertaken by the
					 person who submitted the WFMP or Working Forest Harvest Notice without
					 submission of a minor deviation to the Plan and shall be reported immediately
					 in writing to the Director. Actions described in
					 14 CCR
					 §
												1094.23 which are normally presumed to
					 be substantial deviations may, in a given instance, be a minor deviation.
					 Actions listed as substantial deviations in
					 14 CCR
					 §
												1094.23, but considered to be minor
					 deviation by the submitter(s), may be undertaken only if the person who
					 submitted the Plan or the Designated Agent submits the proposed deviation in
					 writing to the Director for review and receives approval. Approval shall be
					 given if the Director determines that the proposed minor deviation conforms to
					 the standards provided in
					 14 CCR
					 §
												1094.24(a). The
					 Director shall have five (5) working days to act on the application. If the
					 Director or the representative of the Director does not act within five (5)
					 working days of receipt of such a deviation, timber operations may commence
					 pursuant to such minor deviation.
(c) Newly adopted Board Rules may be
					 incorporated into an approved WFMP through a minor deviation.
