The regulation outlines the restrictions of harvesting in different areas, or circumstances. For example, harvesting adjacent to unidentified or incorrectly classified streams, wetlands and lakes (section 6); harvesting within community watersheds (section 7); harvesting on potentially unstable terrain (section 8) and harvesting adjacent to previously harvest cutblocks (section 9). The regulation also outlines practice requirements, such as when constructing excavated or bladed trails section 12); and when constructing a landing, (section 15).
