Timber Harvest

E&S BMPs are required when timbering an area that will involve earth disturbance of 5,000 square feet or more.

Erosion and sedimentation best management practices are required to be implemented on all timber harvest projects. Timber harvest projects that involve 5,000 square feet or more of earth disturbance require an erosion and sedimentation plan. Disturbance associated with timber harvests includes the construction of skid trails, haul roads, and log landing zones. Disturbance greater than 25 acres requires an Erosion and Sedimentation Permit to be obtained.
