Essentials_from_Existing_Management_Plan.pdf

This document contains essential forestry management guidelines extracted from an existing timber management plan for Greenville County, South Carolina's solid waste facilities. The file establishes the foundational requirements and objectives that will guide timber management consulting services across approximately 1,765 acres of County-owned properties associated with landfill operations. The document outlines the scope of forestry activities, including timber sales facilitation, reforestation efforts, and ongoing land stewardship, while establishing critical coordination requirements with landfill cell development schedules, vegetative buffer maintenance as established through the Facility Issues Negotiation Network (FINN) process, stormwater and MS4 feature protection, and preservation of landfill monitoring infrastructure.

The management plan emphasizes the dual objectives of revenue generation through timber operations and support for long-term solid waste facility operational needs. Key considerations include the integration of forestry activities with active landfill operations, maintenance of environmentally required buffers, and protection of critical infrastructure elements. The selected timber management consultant will be responsible for implementing the existing management plan while coordinating closely with Greenville County Solid Waste staff to balance commercial timber interests with the facility's operational requirements and environmental compliance obligations.
