Special Management Areas. The Board may create one or more Special Management Areas (“SMA”) consisting of geographic subareas within the boundaries of the Management Area that represent areas where the presence of local conditions for one or more critical parameters differ from those of the remaining Management Area, and where the Board has determined an area will benefit by identifying site-specific conditions of water demand, water use, water source, management strategies, or other characteristics. The intent behind the creation of SMAs is to allow local control and local action to resolve issues that do not require full involvement of all Members. The Board will designate the boundaries of the SMAs on a map officially adopted by the Board after public notice.
Special Management Areas. Special Management Areas (SMAs) are three inventory types on the LCT containing unique habitat features or requiring additional protection under current Forest Practices Rules. These SMAs often contain landforms or habitat features that have high conservation value compared to other inventory types. SMA locations maintained in Xxxxxxx’x GIS database include green tree areas (GTAs), potentially unstable slopes, and forested wetlands.
Special Management Areas. Through this planning effort, existing designations as well as other lands within the planning area which may meet specific criteria (such as ACECs) will be reviewed. Other issues to be considered include: • Management prescriptions for existing ACECs will be reviewed and modified if appropriate. Priorities for implementation of management plans will be set. • New nominations will be solicited through this planning effort. Priorities for management plan development and implementation for new ACECs will be established.
Special Management Areas. ENGINEER shall make a site visit to each site for which a permit is sought to determine whether the documents submitted by the applicant are accurate and that the proposed work will not affect a Special Management Area. Should the proposed work appear to affect a Special Management Area, ENGINEER is to notify the DEC staff and request a site evaluation with respect to the suspected special management.
