Section 921.9 - Alternatives

The RPF may propose alternatives to the requirements of this article on a site-specific basis. The RPF must explain and justify the proposed alternative in the THP. Alternative measures stated in the Plan shall be so written as to provide clear, enforceable standards for the guidance of the Timber Operator. The Director may approve such alternatives provided the alternative practice will achieve equal protection for each of the goals of 14 CCR § 921 and protection at least equal to that which would result from using measures stated in 14 CCR §§ 921.1-921.8. The Director shall not accept for inclusion in a THP any alternative practice as described in this section where two or more agencies listed in PRC § 4582.6 and 14 CCR § 1037.3 have submitted written comments which lead to the Director's conclusion that the proposed alternative will not meet the intent of the Act and Rules and the agencies participated in the review of the Plan, including any on-the-ground inspection.
