24 Sedimentation Pollution Control Act of A Forest Practice Guidelines. (a) The Department shall adopt Forest Practice Guidelines Related to Water Quality (best management practices). The adoption of Forest Practices Guidelines Related to Water Quality under this section is subject to the provisions of Chapter 150B of the General Statutes. (b) If land disturbing activity undertaken on forestland for the production and harvesting of timber and timber products is not conducted in accordance with Forest Practice Guidelines Related to Water Quality, the provisions of this Article shall apply to such activity and any related land disturbing activity on the tract. Forest Practice Guidelines 9 Performance Standards 1. Streamside Management Zone 2. Prohibition of Debris Entering Streams and Waterbodies 3. Access Road and Skid Trail Stream Crossings 4. Access Road Entrances 5. Prohibition/Waste Entering Streams/ Waterbodies/Groundwater 6. Pesticide Application 7. Fertilizer Application 8. Stream Temperature 9. Rehabilitation of Project Site 24
25 02 NCAC 60C.0201 STREAMSIDE MANAGEMENT ZONE (a) A streamside management zone (SMZ) shall be established and maintained along the margins of intermittent and perennial streams and perennial waterbodies. The SMZ shall be of sufficient width to confine within the SMZ visible sediment resulting from accelerated erosion. (b) Ground cover, or other means, within the SMZ shall be sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion. (c) Access roads, skid trails, except as provided in Rule.0203 of this Section, logging decks and mill sites shall be placed outside of SMZs. When barriers such as property lines or limiting land features prohibit the location of any of these outside of SMZs, they can be located within the SMZs. When located within SMZs they shall have effective erosion control and sediment control structures or measures installed to restrain accelerated erosion and prevent visible sediment from entering intermittent or perennial streams or perennial waterbodies. 02 NCAC 60C.0202 PROHIBITION OF DEBRIS ENTERING STREAMS AND WATERBODIES Stream obstruction and the impediment of stream flow and/or degradation of water quality shall be prevented by keeping debris from construction, harvesting, mill site residue, and site preparation out of intermittent and perennial streams and perennial waterbodies. 25
26 02 NCAC 60C.0203 ACCESS ROAD AND SKID TRAIL STREAM CROSSINGS Stream crossings shall be avoided when possible. Access roads and skid trails which must cross intermittent or perennial streams or perennial waterbodies shall be constructed so as to minimize the amount of sediment that enters the streams because of the construction. These crossings shall be installed so that: (1) stream flow will not be obstructed or impeded; (2) no stream channel or perennial waterbody shall be used as an access road or skid trail; (3) crossings are provided with effective structures or ground cover to protect the banks and channel from accelerated erosion; (4) they shall have sufficient water control devices to collect and divert surface flow from the access road or skid trail into undisturbed areas or other control structures to restrain accelerated erosion and prevent visible sediment from entering intermittent and perennial streams; and (5) ground cover, or other means, sufficient to prevent visible sediment from entering intermittent and perennial streams and perennial waterbodies shall be provided within ten working days of initial disturbance and will be maintained until the site is permanently stabilized. 02 NCAC 60C.0204 ACCESS ROAD ENTRANCES Access road entrances intersecting public highways shall be constructed and maintained with measures, devices or techniques effective to prevent excessive soil and other debris from being carried to and deposited on the highway to the extent that sedimentation problems will result. 26
27 02 NCAC 60C.0205 PROHIBITION / WASTE ENTERING STREAMS / WATERBODIES / GROUNDWATER Measures shall be taken to prevent equipment servicing waste, petroleum, fertilizers or other chemical waste from entering streams, perennial waterbodies, and groundwater which result in a violation of an adopted water quality standard of the Environmental Management Commission in Sections 15A NCAC 02B.0200 Classifications and Water Quality Standards Applicable to Surface Waters of North Carolina, and 15A NCAC 02L.0200 Classifications and Water Quality Standards (related to groundwater). 02 NCAC 60C.0206 PESTICIDE APPLICATION Application of pesticides shall be limited to those labeled for that intended use, shall be used in accordance with labeling and rules adopted by the N.C. Pesticide Board as set forth in 2 NCAC 9L.1005, Restricted Areas, and applied in a manner to prevent adverse impacts on water quality. 02 NCAC 60C.0207 FERTILIZER APPLICATION When used, fertilizers shall be applied in a manner to prevent adverse impacts on water quality. 27
28 02 NCAC 60C.0208 STREAM TEMPERATURE Adequate shade within SMZs associated with natural perennial streams shall be retained to protect those streams from adverse temperature fluctuations which result in a violation of an adopted water quality standard of the Environmental Management Commission as contained in Rule 15A NCAC 02B.0211 Fresh Surface Water Classifications and Standards. 02 NCAC 60C.0209 REHABILITATION OF PROJECT SITE Areas on the project site that have the potential for accelerated erosion, resulting in concentrated flow directly entering an intermittent or perennial stream or perennial waterbody, shall be provided with ground cover or other means of adequate sedimentation control within 30 working days after ceasing any phase of an operation or beginning a period of inactivity. Treatment and maintenance of those areas shall be sufficient to restrain accelerated erosion and prevent visible sediment from entering intermittent and perennial streams and perennial waterbodies until the site is permanently stabilized. 28
29 Forest Management Plan DEFINITION: Aforest management plan is a site specific plan developed for a client, which addresses one or more resource concerns on land where forestryrelated conservation activities or practices will be planned and applied. SUCCESSFUL MANAGEMENT PLAN: Each plan is unique to its owner. Each plan is based on owner objectives. Plans should be current and updated every decade. Plans should be modified as markets, ownership, and forest conditions change. 6 Steps of Forest Management Planning 29
