    Please be aware that compliance with the Forest Practices Act is not in lieu of compliance with any federal requirements related to the federal Endangered Species Act. Federal law prohibits a person from taking northern spotted owls. Taking under the federal law may include significant alteration of owl habitat on any class of ownership (OAR 629-665-0210 (4)). Landowners and operators are encouraged to communicate directly with the USFWS regarding requirements under the federal Endangered Species Act.

    The following comment pertains to units located within Stewardship Forester area 7302; Cody Lokan: FPA protected resources office review complete. There are several small type N streams within the notified area. Per Oregon Senate Bill 1602, all helicopter pesticide spray buffers must be a minimum 50 feet for any type N streams with surface water present, flowing or ponded, at the time of the application. Per notifier- No operation will occur within 100 feet of protected streams. No other concerns or conflicts detected at this time.
