License Settlement Article 511 Clause Samples

License Settlement Article 511. Settlement Agreement Article 511 states: Within three years following license issuance, and annually thereafter, the licensee shall manage snags, logs and residual live trees (“Decaying and Legacy Wood") located on existing or acquired Project lands for the purpose of enhancing Decaying and Legacy Wood structure to increase its value to snag and log dependant species. The management will be conducted in accordance with a plan filed with the Commission for approval in accordance with Article 501 within one year from license issuance. The licensee shall develop the plan in consultation with the TRIG, and will provide a 90-day review and comment period on a draft prior to filing with the Commission as required by Article 501.

The plan shall include measures to retain snags, logs, and residual live trees where they already exist, and to promote the development of these features where they do not exist. The plan may also include measures to provide artificial structures to meet short-term habitat needs where natural snags, logs, and residual live trees are not present and are not expected to develop over the term of the license. All measures in the plan shall be appropriate to the habitat types present on the lands. Existing snags, logs and residual live trees shall be retained in appropriate numbers as determined by land management objectives for each site in conformance with the plan. If existing snags and logs are insufficient to support the land management objectives in the plan to support population densities of primary cavity excavators, and live trees of appropriate size are present, the licensee shall create additional snags or downed logs from live trees, or alternative methods. The licensee shall file any amendments to the Decaying and Legacy Wood element of the plan, as required by Article 501, that result from the acquisition of any new Project lands. Funding for preparing the plan and managing Decaying and Legacy Wood according to the plan is not to exceed $35,000 each year in the first two years following license issuance, to allow for planning and initial site work, and is not to exce...
