Any person making application for a subdivision, grading permit or sediment control plan on a tract of 40,000 square feet or more,
less in some jurisdictions, must submit a Forest Stand Delineation (FSD) and a Forest Conservation Plan (FCP).  Woodland
Management Services can prepare these reports for you with quick turnaround times.    
The Forest Stand Delineation includes the identification of existing forest cover and the environmental features of a proposed
development site. It must include an application for the appropriate jurisdiction, a map and summary of specific field data collected.   
This submittal usually takes 30 days to receive approval or comments.   If any comments are received the 30 day time period starts
over again.  It is advantageous therefore to make the documents submitted adhere to submittal requirements as close as possible to
avoid delays.
     The Forest Conservation Plan includes a map and narrative describing the limits of disturbance for the proposed project and how
the existing forested and sensitive areas will be protected during and after development. It includes an application form and a
worksheet showing the calculation of forest disturbed and retained and whether replanting trees will be required and a plan for the
long-term maintenance or protection of these trees.   This submittal usually takes up to 45 days to receive approval or comments.  
Again, if comments are received, the 45 day time period starts over again.
