Section 1040 - Report Minor Deviations

Minor Deviations may be undertaken by the Person who submitted the Plan without submission of an amendment to the Plan and shall be reported immediately in writing to the Director.

Actions described in 14 CCR § 895.1 which are normally presumed to be Substantial Deviations may, in a given instance, be Minor Deviations. Actions listed as Substantial Deviations in 14 CCR § 895.1 but considered to be minor by the submitter, may be undertaken only if the Person who submitted the Plan submits the proposed deviation in writing to the Director for review and receives approval. Approval shall be given if the Director determines that the proposed minor deviation conforms to the standards provided in 14 CCR § 895.1. The Director shall have 5 working days to act on the application. If the Director or the Director's representative does not act within 5 working days of receipt of such a deviation, Timber Operations may commence pursuant to such amendment.
