The Notice shall include, but need not be limited to, the following:
(1) Names and addresses of Timberland owner(s), Timber Owner(s), and developer(s).

(3) Estimated date of completion of the Project.
(4) Acres of Timberland to be converted.
(5) Legal property description of the conversion area.
(6) Signature, title, and date of signing of the Timberland owner(s). In the case of a partnership, at least one of the partners shall sign the application. For a corporation, a corporate officer shall sign. In other cases of more than one owner, all owners shall sign. An agent may sign for the owner(s) if so designated in writing submitted with the Notice.
(7) Plat or map of the area to be converted.
(8) Documentation of the county or city tentative subdivision map approval, conditions of approval, required use permit, or other required county or city Project approvals.

(e) If the subdivision development Project is not completed or is abandoned, the Director may take corrective action pursuant to PRC §§ 4605-4611 to have restocked those parts of the area from which timber has been harvested and which do not meet the Stocking requirements of this chapter. For purposes of this subsection, the Project shall be deemed abandoned or not completed if:
(1) The county or city tentative map approval has expired; and
(2) No further work has been carried on to complete the subdivision for three years after the expected date of completion stated in the THP. The Director shall order inspections as needed to determine whether the Project has been completed as proposed.
(f) Partial performance shall be recognized. Those portions of the subdivision shall be deemed completed and excluded from the Stocking requirement where the development has been completed and residential services have been provided pursuant to the Plan for development.
