If a person chooses to conform to the requirements of Sec. 35 and Sec. 36 of the FPPR, the person does not have to include results and strategies for the objective set out in Sec. 5 (FRPA).
These default results and strategies include:
Sec. 35 (1) (FPPR) Soil disturbance limits In this section: 
"roadside work area" means the area adjacent to a road where one or both of the following are carried out:
(a) decking, processing or loading timber;
(b) piling or disposing of logging debris;
"sensitive soils" means soils that, because of their slope gradient, texture class, moisture regime, or organic matter content have the following risk of displacement, surface erosion or compaction:
(a) for the Interior, a very high hazard;
(b) for the Coast, a high or very high hazard.
(3) An agreement holder other than a holder of a minor tenure who is carrying out timber harvesting must not cause the amount of soil disturbance on the net area to be reforested to exceed the following limits:
(a) if the standards unit is predominantly comprised of sensitive soils, 5% of the area covered by the standards unit, excluding any area covered by a roadside work area;
(b) if the standards unit not is not predominantly comprised of sensitive soils, 10% of the area covered by the standards unit, excluding any area covered by a roadside work area;
(c) 25% of the area covered by a roadside work area.
(4) An agreement holder may cause soil disturbance that exceeds the limits specified in subsection (3) if the holder
(a) is removing infected stumps or salvaging windthrow and the additional disturbance is the minimum necessary, or
(b) is constructing a temporary access structure and both of the following apply:
(i) the limit set out in subsection (3) (a) or (b), as applicable, is not exceeded by more than 5% of the area covered by the standards unit, excluding the area covered by a roadside work area;
(ii) before the regeneration date, a sufficient amount of the area within the standards unit is rehabilitated such that the agreement holder is in compliance with the limits set out in subsection (3).
(5) The minister may require an agreement holder to rehabilitate an area of compacted soil if all of the following apply:
(a) the area of compacted soil
(i) was created by activities of the holder,
(ii) is within the net area to be reforested, and
(iii) is a minimum of 1 ha in size;
(b) the holder has not exceeded the limits described in subsection (3);
(c) rehabilitation would, in the opinion of the minister,
(i) materially improve the productivity and the hydrologic function of the soil within the area, and
(ii) not create an unacceptable risk of further damage or harm to, or impairment of, forest resource values related to one or more of the subjects listed in section 149 (1) of the Act.
(6) An agreement holder who rehabilitates an area under subsection (4) or (5) must
(a) remove or redistribute woody materials that are exposed on the surface of the area and are concentrating subsurface moisture, to the extent necessary to limit the concentration of subsurface moisture on the area,
(b) de-compact compacted soils, and
(c) return displaced surface soils, retrievable side-cast and berm materials.
(7) If an agreement holder rehabilitates an area under subsection (4) or (5) and erosion of exposed soil from the area would cause sediment to enter a stream, wetland or lake, or a material adverse effect in relation to one or more of the subjects listed in section 149 (1) of the Act, the agreement holder, unless placing debris or revegetation would not materially reduce the likelihood of erosion, must
(a) place woody debris on the exposed soils, or
(b) revegetate the exposed mineral soils.
Sec. 36, (FPPR) Permanent access structure limits
(1) An agreement holder must ensure that the area in a cutblock that is occupied by permanent access structures built by the holder or used by the holder does not exceed 7% of the cutblock, unless
(a) there is no other practicable option on that cutblock, having regard to
(i) the size, topography and engineering constraints of the cutblock,
(ii) in the case of a road, the safety of road users, or
(iii) the requirement in selection harvesting systems for excavated or bladed trails or other logging trails, or
(b) additional permanent access structures are necessary to provide access beyond the cutblock.
(2) If an agreement holder exceeds the limit for permanent access structures described in subsection (1) for either of the reasons set out in that subsection, the holder must ensure that the limit is exceeded as little as practicable.
(3) An agreement holder may rehabilitate an area occupied by permanent access structures in accordance with the results or strategies specified in the forest stewardship plan or by
(a) removing or redistributing woody materials that are exposed on the surface of the area and are concentrating subsurface moisture, as necessary to limit the concentration of subsurface moisture on the area,
(b) de-compacting compacted soils, and
(c) returning displaced surface soils, retrievable side-cast and berm materials.
(4) If an agreement holder rehabilitates an area under subsection (3) (a) and erosion of exposed soil from the area would cause sediment to enter a stream, wetland or lake, or a material adverse effect in relation to one or more of the subjects listed in section 149 (1) of the Act, the agreement holder, unless placing debris or revegetation would not materially reduce the likelihood of erosion, must
(a) place woody debris on the exposed soils, or
(b) revegetate the exposed mineral soils.
Sec. 37 (FPPR), Landslides
"An authorized person who carries out a primary forest activity must ensure that the primary forest activity does not cause a landslide that has a material adverse effect in relation to one or more of the subjects listed in section 149 (1) of the Act."
Sec. 38 (FPPR), Gully processes
"An authorized person who carries out a primary forest activity on the Coast must ensure that the primary forest activity does not cause a gully process that has a material adverse effect in relation to one or more of the subjects listed in section 149 (1) of the Act."
Sec. 39 (FPPR), Natural surface drainage patterns
"(1) If an authorized person constructs a temporary access structure or a permanent access structure on an area, the person must maintain natural surface drainage patterns on the area both during and after construction.
(2) Despite subsection (1), if it is not practicable for an authorized person to maintain natural surface drainage patterns during the construction of a temporary access structure or permanent access structure, the person must ensure the altered surface drainage pattern is compatible with the original natural surface drainage pattern by the earlier of
(a) the end of the construction, and
(b) the next freshet."
Sec. 40 (FPPR), Revegetation
"An authorized person who constructs or deactivates a road must ensure that soil exposed by the construction or deactivation is revegetated within two years after the construction or deactivation is completed if it is reasonably foreseeable that
(a) the erosion of the soil would cause
(i) sediment to enter a stream, wetland or lake, or
(ii) a material adverse effect on a matter referred to in section 149 (1) [objectives set by government] of the Act, and
(b) revegetation would materially reduce the likelihood of erosion."
"(1) A person required to prepare a forest stewardship plan is exempt from that plan from the requirement under section 5 of the Act that the plan specify intended results or strategies in relation to the objective for soils set out in section 5 of this regulation if the person
(a) prepares the plan, including in it an undertaking that the person will comply with sections 35 and 36 of this regulation, during the term of the plan, and
(b) receives the minister's approval to the plan."
Sec. 12.2 (1) (FPPR) Conditional exemption - section 35 or 36
(1) A person required to prepare a forest stewardship plan is exempt from section 35 if the person
(a) prepares and submits to the minister the proposed plan, including an intended result or strategy for the objective for soils that is set out in section 5, in relation to the areas of primary forest activity under the plan, and
(b) receives the minister's approval to the plan.
(2) A person required to prepare a forest stewardship plan is exempt from section 36 if the person
(a) prepares and submits to the minister the proposed plan, including an intended result or strategy for the objective for soils that is set out in section 5, in relation to the areas of primary forest activity under the plan, and
(b) receives the minister's approval to the plan."
