DATES: 2002-
ARRANGEMENT: Numerical by registration and notification numbers

DESCRIPTION: The Division of Forestry, Fire and State Lands is responsible for administering the Utah Forest Practices Act (Chapter 65A-8a) (2004). This law directs the division to monitor the application and effectiveness of the Forest Water Quality Guidelines (FWQG). The monitoring process involves periodic inspections of timber sale activity on non-federal lands where the landowner gives the division permission to enter the lands. The process also involves post-harvest audits to document the application and effectiveness of FWQG, and the relative success in minimizing non-point source pollution (erosion and sedimentation). Documents in the series include forms containing operator and landowner information, location of sale activity, site description, FWQG practices implemented, FWQG application and effectiveness ratings (audits), and summary reports.
