(b) During Timber Operations, Nest Tree(s),
					 designated Perch Tree(s), Screening Tree(s), and Replacement Tree(s), shall be
					 left standing and unharmed except as otherwise provided in these following
					 Rules.
(c) Timber Operations shall
					 be planned and operated to commence as far as possible from occupied Nest Trees
					 unless explained and justified by the RPF in the THP.
(d) When an occupied Nest Site of a listed
					 bird Species is discovered during Timber Operation, the Timber Operator shall
					 protect the Nest Tree, Screening Trees, Perch Trees, and Replacement Trees and
					 shall apply the provisions of subsections (b) and (c) above and of §
											919.2 (939.2, 959.2), and shall

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 28, July 12, 2024
The following requirements shall apply to Nest Sites
						containing Active Nests and not to Nest Sites containing only abandoned
						nests.
(a) Buffer Zones shall be
					 established around all Nest Trees containing Active Nests. The Buffer Zones
					 shall be designed to best protect the Nest Site and nesting birds from the
					 Effects of Timber Operations. In consultation with the CDFW, and as approved by
					 the Director, an RPF or Supervised Designee shall flag the location of the
					 boundaries of the Buffer Zone, and the configuration of the Buffer Zone.
					 Consultation with the CDFW shall be required pursuant to
					 14 CCR
					 §
												898. Consideration shall be given to
					 the specific habitat requirements of the bird Species involved when
					 configuration and boundaries of the Buffer Zone are established.
(b) The size of the Buffer Zone for each
					 Species shall be as follows:
(1) For the Bald
					 eagle and Peregrine falcon, the Buffer Zone shall be a minimum of ten acres in
					 size. The Director may increase the Buffer Zone beyond 40 acres in size so that
					 Timber Operation will not result in a "take" of either Species. The Director
					 shall develop the Buffer Zone in consultation with the Department of Fish and
					 Wildlife and the RPF.
(2) For the
					 Golden eagle, the Buffer Zone shall be a minimum of eight acres in
					 size.
(3) For the Great blue heron
					 and Great egret, the Buffer Zone shall consist of the area within a 300-foot
					 radius of a tree or trees containing a group of five or more Active Nests in
					 close proximity as determined by the Department of Fish and Wildlife.
(4) For the Northern goshawk, the Buffer Zone
					 shall be a minimum of five acres in size. When explained and justified in
					 writing, the Director may increase the size of the Buffer Zone to a maximum of
					 20 acres when necessary to protect nesting birds.
(5) For the Osprey, the Buffer Zone may be up
					 to five acres in size. When explained and justified in writing, the Director
					 may increase the size of the Buffer Zone to a maximum of 18 acres when
					 necessary to protect nesting birds.
