Essentials_from_Existing_Management_Plan.pdf

This document is a management plan excerpt prepared for Greenville County, South Carolina, detailing essential forestry and land stewardship requirements for county-owned properties associated with solid waste facilities. The document outlines the professional forestry services scope, which encompasses implementation of an existing timber management plan across approximately 1,765 acres, facilitation of timber sales, reforestation initiatives, and ongoing property stewardship. The selected timber management consultant must coordinate forestry activities with landfill cell development schedules, maintain required vegetative buffers established through the Facility Issues Negotiation Network (FINN) process, protect stormwater and MS4 features, and preserve landfill monitoring wells. The consultant will collaborate directly with Greenville County Solid Waste staff to balance revenue generation from timber activities with the long-term operational requirements of the county's solid waste facilities.

The document establishes the essential framework for managing forest resources on county properties while maintaining compliance with environmental and operational constraints specific to landfill operations. Forestry activities must be integrated with ongoing landfill development and maintenance schedules to ensure that timber management does not compromise facility functionality, environmental compliance, or monitoring infrastructure. The document serves as the foundational reference for qualified timber management consultants to understand the integrated approach required, where commercial forestry objectives must align with the primary operational mission of the county's solid waste management facilities.
