(a) If a landowner with an approved NTMP with less than 2,500 acres of timberland expands the total timberland ownership to 2,500 or more acres of timberland through acquisition of additional timberland they may transition into a WFMP through a substantial deviation to the NTMP.

(1) Operations may continue under an approved NTMP for a period of one (1) year after the acquisition of property that would result in 2,500 or more acres of timberland, if the landowner notifies the Director in writing of their intent to transition to a WFMP. The Director may grant up to an additional one (1) year of operations under the previously approved NTMP to landowners who demonstrate substantial work has been conducted by a RPF(s) towards transitioning to a WFMP. Substantial work may include, but is not limited to, augmented growth and yield, harvest document preparation, legal document preparation, updated field work or biological assessments.
