A-18.1, r. 0.01 - Regulation respecting the sustainable development of forests in the domain of the State
Section 126
Disposition versions
126. In the case of a total cutting of whole trees, the person who carries out the cutting must aggregate logging residues in windrows over an area that does not exceed 30% of the total area of the piling area or spread the logging residues evenly over the entire cutting area so that the residues decompose quickly and do not affect the pre-established regeneration.
Windrowing of logging residues in the piling area or the spreading of the logging residues over the cutting area must be carried out before 1 September following the harvest year. Where the recovery of forest biomass is authorized in the cutting area, windrowing of logging residues in the piling area or the spreading of the logging residues over the cutting area must be performed after the recovery.
Windrowing of logging residues in the piling area must not affect the visibility and the safety of the users of the road.
The total area of the piling area is calculated by multiplying the length of the piling area facing the road by its depth. The depth of the piling area, which may not exceed 30 m, is measured from the foot of the embankment of the road bordering on it.
