INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT The Department’s Commercial Feed Regulatory Program (CFRP) is responsible for the enforcement of California state law and regulations pertaining to the manufacturing, distribution and labeling of commer- cial feed while preventing adulterated feed from being consumed by livestock.

Inspectors and investigators located throughout the state conduct routine feed sam- pling and inspections, quality assurance inspections of feed manufacturing facilities, respond to consumer complaints, and enforce the laws and regulations that govern the manufacturing, distribution, and labeling of commercial feed. The work of the CFRP helps to ensure a clean and wholesome supply of milk and meat, as well as providing assurance that the product received by the consumer is the quality and quantity purported by the manufacturer. CFRP is proposing the adoptions and revisions to 3 CCR, Division 4,

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1025

Section 2765(

b) is being adopted to clarify the cri- teria for violations that will be classified as major and subject to administrative penalty.

Section 2765(b)(1) is being adopted to specify that violations deemed by the secretary to require immedi- ate action to protect public or animal health and safety shall be classified as major.

B) is being adopted to clarify that intent is demonstrated by the degree to which the violator failed to prevent noncompliance.

Section 2765(b)(3)(

C) is being adopted to clarify that recurrence is demonstrated by repeated violations.

Section 2765(

c) is being adopted to specify that vi- olations that do not meet the criteria specified in sub- paragraph (

b) shall be classified as minor and receive a notice of warning in lieu of an administrative penalty.

Section 2766 is being amended to move existing language regarding unlawful use of medicated feed to

Section 2701 with the other provisions applicable to medicated feed.

Section 2766(

a) is being adopted to clarify that vi- olations classified as major shall be evaluated based upon nature of the violation, effect of the violation upon the effectuation of the purposes and provisions of this chapter, and impact of the penalty on the violator to determine the administrative penalty amount and that the total administrative penalty amount shall be calculated by adding together the applicable amount based on consideration of the defined factors.

Section 2766(a)(1) is being adopted to clarify that nature of the violation means the potential risk posed and the actions of the violator, as well as specify the criteria for high ($500) and low ($250) penalty amounts.

Section 2766(a)(2) is being adopted to clarify that the effect of the violation upon the effectuation of the purposes and provisions of this

chapter means how the violation impacted consumers, as well as specify the criteria for high ($1,000) and low ($500) penalty amounts.

Section 2768 is being adopted to specify hearing scheduling and notification requirements.

Section 2769 is being adopted to clarify hearing procedures. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations: Clarifying the terminology used in FAC versus CCR will reduce confusion for the regulated industry. Specifying consequences for failure to provide sub- sample results to the Department will ensure the De- partment receives results to help validate our labora- tory methods and does not have to continue providing results to noncompliant requestors. Clarifying which firms shall pay tonnage tax for bulk versus packaged commercial feed will reduce confusion for the regulated industry.

Specifying late fees for delinquent tonnage reports, tax payments, and operating with an expired commercial feed license will enable to Department to pursue delinquent ton- nage reports, tax payments, and license renewals. Clarifying that it is the licensee’s responsibility to notify the Department if any of the information on their license application changes after the license is issued will ensure the Department maintains current contact information for licensees. Defining severity, intent, and repeat nature of viola- tions will provide clarity in determining when to issue penalties.

Defining nature of the violation, the serious- ness of the effect of the violation upon the effectuation of the purposes and provisions of this chapter, and the impact of the penalty on the violator will provide clar- ity in determining the amount of the penalty assessed for violations. Determination of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing Regulations: The Department evaluated the proposed regu- lations and made several determinations required by Government Code

Section 11346.5(a)(3)(

A) to 11346.5(a)(3)(D). The Department determined that there are no existing state laws or regulations related directly to the proposed action and the effect of the pro- posed action; the proposed regulations are not incon- sistent or incompatible with existing state regulations.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1026 PLAIN ENGLISH REQUIREMENT The Department prepared the proposed regulations pursuant to the standard of clarity provided in Gov- ernment Code

Section 11349 and the plain English re- quirements of Government Code Sections 11342.580 and 11346.2, subdivision (a)(1). The proposed regula- tions are written to be easily understood by the indi- viduals that will use them. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION The Department has made the following initial determinations: Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. Cost or savings to any state agency: None. Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Government Code sections 17500 through 17630: None.

Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed upon local agencies: None. Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di- rectly affecting business including the ability of Cali- fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: None. Cost impacts on a representative person or business: The Department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would nec- essarily incur in reasonable compliance with the pro- posed action. Significant effect on housing costs: None.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT/ANALYSIS California Government Code

Section 11346.3 re- quires state agencies to assess the potential econom- ic impacts on California businesses and individuals when proposing to adopt or amend any administrative regulation. The Department has initially determined that the proposed regulatory action will not have a broad economic or fiscal impact to the commercial feed industry. The proposed regulations will not:

(1) Require any additional ongoing expenses for compliant individuals or businesses.

(2) Create or eliminate jobs within the state.

(3) Create new businesses or eliminate existing busi- nesses within the State of California.

(4) Affect the expansion of businesses currently op- erating within the State of California.

(5) The proposed regulations will benefit the health and welfare of California residents utilizing feed for their livestock by adding clarity to the regulated industry terminology, compliance ex- pectations and subsequent consequences for in- dustry licensees as it pertains to tonnage type, re- porting, and payments; tax and licensure respon- sibilities, providing subsampling results, and de- fining severity of consequences by violation type.

(6) The proposed regulations are not expected to af- fect worker safety, or the state’s environment. SMALL BUSINESS DETERMINATION The Department has determined that the proposed regulations will affect small businesses but will not have an economic impact on those businesses. The proposed actions do not involve any area that would increase fees or result in any increased costs to these businesses.

The only small businesses potentially affected by the proposed regulations would be non– compliant firms that are delinquent in submitting ton- nage reports, payments, or license renewals, or receive violations for violating laws and/or regulations, there- by receiving penalties. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

Section 11346.5(a)(13), the Department must determine that no reasonable alternative it has considered or that has otherwise been identified and brought to its attention would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The Department invites interested persons to present statements or arguments with respect to alter- natives to the proposed regulations at the scheduled hearing or during the written comment period.

AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE Authority: Sections 48410 and 48412, Education Code. References: Sections 48410 and 48412, Education Code. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Education Code (EC)

section 48412 provides for a program of assessment that allows a student 16 years of age or older, who is enrolled in the second semes- ter of their sophomore year, to “have their proficiency in basic skills taught in public high schools verified according to criteria established by the department.” EC

section 48412 further states that the CDE shall de- velop the standards of competency in basic skills and shall administer the tests annually. Upon successfully passing the examination, the student shall receive a certificate of proficiency, awarded by the SBE, that is equivalent to a California high school diploma. Policy Statement Overview New

definitions are needed to align title 5 of the California Code of Regulations (5 CCR)

section 11520 with the eligibility criteria in EC

section 48412(a)(1) and to clarify that payment is required at the time of the examination registration or when requesting ser- vices and that administration fees are comprised of different costs. The objective for the proposed definition for “eligi- bility” is to clarify that the test will be administered to students who are at least in their second semester of their sophomore year of high school. In EC

section 48412(c)(1), “fee” is defined to be “an amount sufficient to recover the costs” to administer the test. This amount is a combination of costs, which includes vendor costs, testing center costs, and state administration costs, as well as the costs for additional score reports or certificates, if needed. Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulation The benefits of using these

definitions are to provide the public consistency and clarity regarding the crite- ria for eligibility to take a test of proficiency, and what

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1029 costs are included in the fee charged to the test taker to register for an examination. Evaluation of Inconsistency/Incompatibility with Existing State Regulations An evaluation of the proposed regulations has de- termined they are not inconsistent/incompatible with existing regulations, pursuant to Government Code

section 11346.5(a)(3)(D). After conducting a review for any regulations that would relate to or affect this area of law, the SBE has concluded that these are the only regulations that concern the CHSPE regulations. DISCLOSURES REGARDING THE PROPOSED ACTION/ FISCAL IMPACT The SBE has made the following initial determinations: Mandated by federal law or regulations: No. Other statutory requirements : There are no other matters as are prescribed by statute applicable to the specific state agency or to any specific regulations or class of regulations. Mandate on local agencies and school districts: No.

Costs to any local agencies or school districts for which reimbursement would be required pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

section 17500) of division 4 of the Government Code: No. Cost or savings to any state agency: No. Other non–discretionary costs or savings imposed on local agencies, including local educational agen - cies: No. Costs or savings in federal funding to the state: N/A. Effect on housing costs: None. Significant, statewide adverse economic impact di - rectly affecting business including the ability of Cali - fornia businesses to compete with businesses in other states: No.

Cost impacts on a representative private person or businesses: The SBE is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. Report required : The proposed regulations do not require a report to be made. Effect on small businesses : The proposed regula- tions would not have an effect on any small business because they are designed to address students’ eligi- bility for the high school proficiency exam and will not expand or eliminate small businesses currently doing business within the State of California.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ANALYSIS/ASSESSMENT Benefits of the Regulations to the Health and Welfare of California Residents, Worker Safety, and the State’s Environment — Gov. Code

Section 11346.5(a)(10): The SBE concludes that it is unlikely that these proposed regulations will: 1) create or eliminate jobs within California; 2) create new businesses or elimi- nate existing businesses within California; or 3) affect the expansion of businesses currently doing business within California. Benefits of the Proposed Action: The proposed reg- ulations will benefit the educational options of Cali- fornia’s residents and will not adversely affect the welfare of California residents, worker safety or the State’s environment. CONSIDERATION OF ALTERNATIVES In accordance with Government Code

section 11346.5(a)(13), the SBE must determine that no rea- sonable alternative it considered or that has other- wise been identified and brought to the attention of the SBE, would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, would be as effective and less burdensome to affected private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provision of law.

The SBE invites interested persons to present state- ments or arguments with respect to alternatives to the proposed regulations during the written comment period.

CHAPTER 7.75,

ARTICLE 3, SECTIONS 5520–5528 Notice is hereby given that the California Film Commission (CFC) proposes to amend the regulations described below after considering all comments, ob- jections and recommendations regarding the proposed action. PROPOSED REGULATORY ACTION The CFC proposes to amend sections 5520, 5521, 5523, 5525, 5526, 5527, and 5528 in

Article 3 of Chap- ter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regula- tions in order to implement, interpret and make spe- cific Revenue and Taxation Code sections 17053.98 and 23698 relating to a film and television tax credit program. No public hearing is scheduled; however, any inter- ested person or their duly authorized representative may request a public hearing no later than fifteen (15) days prior to the close of the public comment period.

WRITTEN COMMENT PERIOD Any interested person, or their authorized repre- sentative, may submit written comments relevant to the proposed regulatory action to the Agency. Written comments will be accepted by the Agency until 5:00 p.m. on September 26, 2023. Submit comments to: Name: Hedvig Marx Address: California Film Commission, 7080 Hollywood Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028 Email: Hedvig.Marx@film.ca.gov AUTHORITY AND REFERENCE The proposed regulation will be adopted under the authority of Government Code

section 11152, and Revenue and Taxation Code sections 17053.98(

e) and 23698(e). The proposed regulation implements, inter- prets, and makes specific Revenue and Taxation Code sections 17053.98 and 23698. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW The California Film Commission (CFC) proposes to amend sections 5520, 5521, 5523, 5525, 5526, 5527, and 5528 in

Article 3 of

Chapter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. The regulations outline a procedure for allocating tax credits to qual- ified taxpayers in the motion picture industry and the proposed amendments provide necessary additional process clarity to applicants.

Summary of Related Existing Laws and Regulations: In 2018, the Legislature and Administration ap- proved Senate Bill (SB) 878 (Chapter 456, Stat. 2018), which created the third iteration of the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program, applicable to tax- able years beginning on or after January 1, 2020, and before January 1, 2025. Permanent regulations for the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program 3.0

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1034 were adopted on February 10, 2022, as

Article 3 of

Chapter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Reg- ulations. These regulations provided a program to the motion picture industry allocating tax credits to qual- ified taxpayers in the motion picture industry until June 30, 2025. The provisions in the existing program, outlined in

Article 3 of

Chapter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, provide for applicants to file a written application for the allocation of the tax credit and for the CFC to establish criteria for allo- cating tax credits, determine and designate applicants who meet the requirements to apply for the tax credit, and issue the credit certificate to the qualified taxpayer upon completion of an eligible and approved qualified motion picture.

The California Film and Television Tax Credit Pro- gram 3.0 was preceded by the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program (Program 1.0), 2009 through 2017, and the California Film and Television Tax Credit Program 2.0 (Program 2.0), 2015–2020. Program 1.0 was enacted by SB 15 (Chapter 17, Stat. 2009), and is outlined in sections 17053.85 and 23685 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Program 2.0 was enacted by 1839 (Chapter 413, Stat. 2014), and is out- lined in sections 17053.95 and 23695 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

Existing law also provides for a current similar program, the California Soundstage Filming Tax Credit Program. In 2021, the Legislature and Admin- istration approved SB 144 (Chapter 114, Stat. 2021), which among other things, created the new California Soundstage Filming Tax Credit Program, applicable to taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2022, and before January 1, 2032. The Program allocates tax credits to qualified motion pictures and, unlike Pro- gram 3.0, includes provisions to incentivize the con- struction or renovation of soundstages in the state.

Permanent regulations for the California Soundstage Filming Tax credit program were adopted on February 15, 2023, as

Article 4 of

Chapter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations. Broad Objectives and Anticipated Benefits of the Proposed Regulations: The California Film and Television Tax Credit Pro- gram 3.0, implemented through

Article 3 of

Chapter 7.75 of Title 10 of the California Code of Regulations, encourages production companies regardless of dis- tribution outlet to film in California instead of other states, provinces, and countries offering incentives. The Program is structured to encourage job creation and training opportunities for disadvantaged youth, and to increase and retain motion picture production in California.

The proposed amendments to the previous- ly adopted California Film and Television Tax Credit Program 3.0 regulations clarify the specific processes necessary for Program implementation, enabling the state to successfully operate the Program and realize its benefits. The objective of these amendments is to ensure that Program processes and requirements are detailed and clear so that applicants can understand and utilize the Program as intended, and so that the CFC is better able to administer the program fairly and consistently.

Consistency and Compatibility with Existing State Regulations: During the process of developing these regulations, the CFC has conducted a search of any similar regula- tions on this topic and has concluded that these regu- lations are neither inconsistent nor incompatible with existing state regulations. The CFC has endeavored to ensure that these regulatory amendments comply with the non–duplication standard found in Title 1, Cali- fornia Code of Regulations.

In some instances, the amended regulations duplicate California statute in part where the statute is cited as “authority” or “refer- ence” for the proposed regulation and the duplication or overlap is necessary to satisfy the “clarity” standard of Government Code

section 11349.1(a)(3).

ESTIMATES OF ECONOMIC IMPACT The California Film Commission has made the fol- lowing determinations: ● Mandate on local agencies and school districts: None. ● Cost or savings to any state agency: None. ● Cost to any local agency or school district which must be reimbursed in accordance with Govern- ment Code sections 17500 through 17630: None. ● Other nondiscretionary cost or savings imposed on local agencies: None. ● Cost or savings in federal funding to the state: None. ● Significant effect on housing costs: None. ● Significant statewide adverse economic impact directly affecting business, including the ability of California businesses to compete with busi- nesses in other states: None. ● Potential cost impact on representative person or businesses: The agency is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action.

EFFECT ON SMALL BUSINESS The California Film Commission has determined that the proposed regulations will not directly affect small businesses. The businesses that may elect to participate in the Film and Television Tax Credit Pro- gram 3.0 and in such cases will be complying with

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1035 these regulations are film production companies and are as such not small businesses, as defined in

section 11342.610 of the Government Code. Small businesses in California may, however, provide goods and ser- vices to the businesses electing to comply with these regulations and thus benefit from the additional film- ing in California. RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT ASSESSMENT Pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (

e) of Sec- tions 17053.98 and 23698 of the Revenue and Taxation Code the CFC is not required to provide an economic impact analysis. Due to the nature of tax credit incen- tives in relation to economic impact, the CFC has been exempted from the economic impact analysis through- out the existence of the California Film and Television Tax Credit Programs in all iterations; this exemption is consistent with previous practice.

It is worth noting that the California Film and Tele- vision Tax Credit Program 3.0 is optional and only ap- plies to entities who elect to participate, and further, that the parameters and functions of a tax credit pro- gram such as this ensures that any participating enti- ties will contribute to a positive economic impact on the state, its existing businesses, and opportunities for prospective businesses, as credits are allocated based on percentages of actual in–state spending for labor, goods, and services.

REASONABLE ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The California Film Commission must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the Com- mission or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the Board would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the ac- tion is proposed or would be as effective as and less burdensome to affected private persons than the pro- posed action, or would be more cost–effective to af- fected private persons and equally effective in imple- menting the statutory policy or other provision of law.

section 12804.9. INFORMATIVE DIGEST/POLICY STATEMENT OVERVIEW Vehicle Code

section 12804.9 requires the depart- ment to, among other things, test an applicant’s knowl- edge and understanding of the operation of vehicles upon the highways and perform an actual demonstra- tion of the applicant’s ability to exercise ordinary and reasonable control of a motor vehicle under the super- vision of an examining officer. The examination process for a driver’s license con- sists of the vision test, knowledge (or written) test and the behind–the–wheel driving test.

When an applicant successfully completes the vision and knowledge por- tions of the test, they can proceed to scheduling the driving test. The driving test is administered in two parts. The first part of the driving test requires the applicant to show they are familiar with the operation of the vehi- cle by demonstrating such functions as the turn sig- nals, vehicle’s headlights and emergency flashers. The second part of the driving test is the road test. The road test is administered by a Licensing–Registration Examiner (licensing examiner) on a predetermined route.

The applicant will be tested in maneuvers such as backing, turning, freeway entry and exit, parking lots, and various intersections. The department has recently encountered situations where driving test applicants appear for testing in ve- hicles equipped with interior recording devices. The department has determined that the audio and/or vi- sual recording of driving tests could potentially create privacy concerns within the department’s driving test processes. The department administers driving ex- aminations on predetermined routes.

Recording those routes could impact the integrity of the examination that and unconsented recording violates the Penal Code. The licensing examiner may object to being re- corded inside the vehicle while the driving test is be- ing administered. This proposed action prohibits the audio recordings and video recordings of a vehicle’s interior during a driving examination, unless autho- rized by the department. Prohibiting interior record- ings will also protect the applicant’s personal identi- fying information that may arise out of conversations between the driver and the examiner.

CONSISTENCY AND COMPATIBILITY WITH STATE REGULATIONS The department has conducted a review of other state regulations and has concluded that these are the only regulations related to driving tests and the audio and/or video recording of driving tests. Therefore, the proposed regulations are neither inconsistent nor in- compatible with existing state regulations. COMPARABLE FEDERAL STATUTES OR STATE REGULATIONS There are no existing federal statues or regula- tions that govern driving tests administered by the department. DOCUMENTS INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE There are no documents incorporated by reference.

ECONOMIC AND FISCAL IMPACT DETERMINATIONS The department has made the following initial de- terminations concerning the proposed regulatory action: ● Cost or Savings to Any State Agency: None. ● Other Non–Discretionary Cost or Savings to Lo- cal Agencies: None. ● Costs or Savings in Federal Funding to the State: None. ● Effects on Housing Costs: None. ● Cost to any local agency or school district re- quiring reimbursement pursuant to Government Code

section 17500 et seq.: None. ● Cost Impact on Representative Private Persons or Businesses: The department is not aware of any cost impacts that a representative private person or business would necessarily incur in reasonable compliance with the proposed action. ● Small Business Impact: This proposed action will not impact small businesses. The driving test procedures have no impact on businesses and the adoption of

Section 20.02 will also have no im- pact on small businesses. ● Local Agency/School District Mandate: The pro- posed regulatory action will not impose a man- date on local agencies or school districts, or a mandate that requires reimbursement pursuant to

Part 7 (commencing with

Section 17500) of Divi- sion 4 of the Government Code. ● Significant statewide adverse economic im- pact directly affecting businesses, including the

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1040 ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states: The department has made the initial determination that this action will not have a significant statewide adverse eco- nomic impact directly affecting business nor will it impact the ability of California businesses to compete with businesses in other states. This proposed rule impacts specified individuals, not businesses.

RESULTS OF THE ECONOMIC IMPACT STATEMENT The department has made the following determina- tions when assessing the economic impact associated with this proposed regulation: This proposed action is unlikely to 1) create or elim- inate jobs within the State of California; 2) create or eliminate businesses within the State of California; or 3) expand businesses currently doing business in the State of California.

The proposed rule will benefit the welfare of Cali- fornia residents by protecting department’s licensing examiners who may not want to be recorded while administering a driving examination and will benefit the drive test applicant by preventing circumstances where the applicant’s personal identifying informa- tion may inadvertently be discussed while the audio or video is recording. This proposed action is unlikely to benefit the state’s environment or worker safety. PUBLIC DISCUSSIONS OF PROPOSED REGULATIONS A pre–notice workshop, pursuant to Government Code

section 11346.45, is not required because the is- sues addressed in the proposal are not so complex or large in number that they cannot easily be reviewed during the comment period.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED The department must determine that no reasonable alternative considered by the department or that has otherwise been identified and brought to the attention of the department would be more effective in carrying out the purpose for which the action is proposed, or would be as effective and less burdensome to affect- ed private persons than the proposed action, or would be more cost–effective to affected private persons and equally effective in implementing the statutory policy or other provisions of law.

Project Description: Erin N Laner (Applicant), rep- resenting Aera Energy LLC, proposes to enhance or restore habitat within Cañada de las Encinas to pro- vide a net conservation benefit for native riparian habitat and species. The Project will improve riparian habitat by removing an existing culvert and revege- tating the area with native plants. The channel will be restored as a vegetated boulder cascade with rock and riparian vegetation.

The Project will demolish an existing crossing on Cañada de las Encinas, including removal of steel and wood revetments, culvert, asphalt surface pavement, and vegetation growing on top of the crossing. The Project area will then be excavated and recontoured. Three profile control structures will be installed to accommodate the 12’ change in elevation and ar- mored with rock stabilizers. These features will be subsequently vegetated with pole cuttings from native plants. Planting will occur at the Project site, using sal- vaged plant material, pole cuttings, container plants, and a native seed mix.

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1047 1. Erosion Control measures include limitations on tractor operations, standards and spacing for wa- terbreak installations, restrictions on timber op- erations in the winter period, and tractor road wa- tercourse crossing specifications. a. Tractors and other heavy equipment are re- stricted from operations that cause erosion, such as operating on skid roads or slopes when equipped with a blade and operating in unstable areas, slopes greater than 65 per- cent, or slopes with a high hazard rating.

Slash and debris shall not be placed in lo- cations where they could be discharged into nearby waterbodies. b. Waterbreak installations shall be seasonally restricted. Discharge from waterbreaks shall flow through some form of vegetative cov- er, duff, slash, rocks, or less erodible materi- al. Waterbreaks shall be maintained during timber operations so they minimize erosion and slope instability and prevent water qual- ity degradation. c.

During the winter period (November 15– April 1), mechanical site preparation and timber harvest are restricted unless a win- ter period operating plan is incorporated in the timber harvesting plan. The winter pe- riod operating plan shall include specific measures taken during the winter operat- ing period to avoid or minimize erosion, soil movement into watercourses, and soil com- paction from timber operations. d. Road crossings shall be kept to a minimum, and existing crossing locations shall be used when possible.

If a new watercourse cross- ing is required, it will be prepared using a structure, such as a bridge, culvert, or tem- porary log culvert. Crossing facilities on wa- tercourses supporting fish shall allow unre- stricted passage for all life stages that may be present. All tractor road watercourse cross- ing facilities shall be removed and stabilized before the winter operating period unless described in the winter operating plan and approved by the Director of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). 2.

Site Preparation shall be planned and conducted in a manner to encourage maximum timber pro- ductivity, minimize fire hazards, prevent substan- tial adverse effects on soil resources and fish and wildlife habitat, and prevent degradation of water quality. Heavy equipment will not be used for site preparation under saturated soil conditions that may produce sediment discharge. Watercourse crossings for heavy equipment shall be planned, constructed, maintained, and removed in ac- cordance with requirements for tractor roads.

Undisturbed areas or energy dissipaters shall be used to control and disperse concentrated runoff from roads, landings, tractor roads, firebreaks, and erosion control facilities where it flows into site preparation areas. 3. Watercourse and Lake Protection conservation measures ensure that timber operations do not cause significant adverse site–specific and cumu- lative impacts on the beneficial uses of water and native aquatic and riparian–associated species, and the beneficial functions of riparian zones.

Protective measures include general limitations near watercourses, lakes, marshes, meadows, and other wet areas; watercourse and lake protection; reduction of soil loss; protection and restoration of the beneficial functions of the riparian zone in watersheds with listed anadromous salmonids; and Class I watercourses with confined channels in watersheds in the coastal anadromy zone. a. Several general mitigation measures apply to all watercourses and lakes. Trees shall be felled to lean away from watercourses and lakes.

Equipment shall be serviced in loca- tions to prevent grease, oil, or fuel from en- tering lakes or watercourses. Pesticides shall not be used, and snags and green wildlife trees shall be retained within watercourse protection zones. Accidental depositions of soil or other debris in lakes or watercourses shall be removed immediately.

Tractor roads shall not be constructed or used in water- courses and other wet areas, except at pre- pared tractor road crossings, crossings over dry watercourses, and at new and existing tractor road crossings as part of the Fish and Game Code process (Fish and Game Code § 1600 et seq.). Non–commercial vegetation bordering and covering meadows and wet areas shall be retained and protected during timber operations unless explained and justi- fied in the THP and approved by CAL FIRE. Where less than 50 percent canopy cover ex- ists, sanitation salvage will be the only per- mitted silvicultural prescription.

This will help protect stream functions and features, which include maintaining appropriate wa- ter temperature, streambed and flow modi- fication by large woody debris (LWD), fil- tration of organic and inorganic material, upslope stability, bank and channel stabili- ty, spawning and rearing habitat for salmo- nids, and vegetation structure diversity for fish and wildlife habitat. LWD recruitment

CALIFORNIA REGULATORY NOTICE REGISTER 2023, VOLUME NUMBER 32-Z 1048 for instream habitat is provided by retaining core, inner and outer tree zone and canopy requirements as described in CFPR 936.9 and maintaining at least two live conifers (at least 16–inch dbh and 50 feet tall) within 50 feet of Class I and II watercourses in the Project Area. b.

Within the Watercourse and Lake Protection Zone (WLPZ), at least 75 percent surface cover and undisturbed area will be retained for wildlife habitat, to provide ground cov- er, and act as a filter strip to dissipate rain- drop energy and reduce potential surface erosion. Soil deposited during timber oper- ations will be removed, and debris deposit- ed during timber operations will be removed or stabilized before the conclusion of timber operations. Temporary crossings will be re- moved before the winter period unless ex- plained and justified in the winter operating plan and approved by the Director of CAL FIRE.

Heavy equipment will not be used in timber falling, yarding, or site preparation within the WLPZ unless explained and jus- tified in a Timber Harvest Plan or other har- vest document. c. Where 100 continuous square feet of ex- posed mineral soil exists within WLPZ ar- eas as a result of timb
