§ 914.2. Operations.
(d) Heavy equipment shall not operate on Unstable Areas. If such areas are unavoidable, the RPF shall develop specific measures to minimize the effect of operations on slope instability. These measures shall be explained and justified in the Plan and approved by the Director, and must meet the requirements of 14 CCR § 914.
(3) On slopes between fifty (50) percent and sixty-five (65) percent where the Erosion Hazard Rating is moderate, and all slope percentages are for Average Slope steepness based on sample areas that are twenty (20) acres, or less if proposed by the RPF or required by the Director, heavy equipment, except for Tethered Operations, shall be limited to:
(4) Non-Tethered Tractor Operations, excluding Yarding, may occur in areas designated for Cable Yarding on slopes up to 50%. Tethered Operations, excluding Yarding, may occur in areas designated for Cable Yarding. The limitations of 14 CCR § 914.2(a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f)(2), (g), (h), and (i), and any other applicable limitations on Tractor Operations throughout this Chapter, by District, apply.
(5) The RPF may propose exceptions to the limitations on Tractor Operations described above if the proposed exception will comply with 14 CCR § 914, and if the Plan both clearly explains the proposed exception and justifies how the proposed exception will comply with 14 CCR § 914. The location of Tractor Roads, except for those used in Tethered Operations, to be used under such exceptions shall be flagged prior to the pre-harvest inspection or, when a pre-harvest inspection is not required, prior to the start of Timber Operations.
