Good morning Shannen,
As we discussed on the phone the scale of the harvest area shown on the Forest Practice Activity Map for FPA/N
2615192 is actually fairly accurate for the actual parcel size of 10 acres. The acreage was only reported inaccurately in
question 21 as 4.5 acres. I conducted a site visit on February 22, 2018 and observed that approximately 9 acres of the 10
acre parcel was harvested. The 1 acre area not harvested is also accurately depicted in the southwest corner on the
Forest Practice Activity Map.
Please let me know if you need further clarification.
Regards,

Ross,
Is it at all the in the realm of possibilities to get the harvest boundary map updated and the FPA updated to reflect the
approximate amount actually cleared? This is a proposal that would go to hearing and it would be best if we could prove
the moratorium boundaries.
Thank you,

Hi Shannon,
Sorry for the delayed response. I did meet with someone out there a little over a year ago. It may have been one of the
new landowners, but it had not been purchased yet. I did observe that the whole parcel except for approximately one
acre in the SW corner had been harvested. Therefore the moratorium would apply to all the property except for the
approximately one acre of un-harvested area.
I don’t remember definitively telling the landowner I was going to take enforcement action – but it was an option. I may
not have in this case for a couple of reasons. The first is because there was no resource damage associated with the
harvest. I verified that the stream shown on the hydrology layer did not exist. Additionally the additional acreage would
not have changed the classification or complexity of our permit. The second is because the person I met with seemed
pretty interested in purchasing the parcel. From prior experience, an enforcement action may have had negative
unintended consequences for the new landowner in terms of the permitting process with Jefferson County.
Please give me a call at the number below if you would like to discuss this further.
Thank you,

Hi Ross,
I met with the new owners of parcel #001334021. The county has put a moratorium on the property for the area
proposed to be logged. I believe it was supposed to be 4.5 acres. However, when I met with the owners, they stated
almost the entire 10.31 acre parcel had been cleared by Cedarland Forest Resources. They stated they had spoken with
you and you had allegedly said enforcement action will be taking place because the applicant cleared more than the FPA
allotted. Is this accurate information? Mainly I need to know, to confirm that the moratorium needs to be applied to the
entire property.
Thank you,
