What is a Sustained Yield Plan (SYP)?
An SYP is a state plan which provides for maximum sustained production of high-quality timber products over a 100 year planning period. An SYP requires protection of watersheds, wildlife, and fisheries, and must abide by applicable state and federal laws such as the endangered species acts of the state and federal governments. Following approval, an SYP is in force for a period of 10 years. In this case, PL is preparing a coordinated HCP/SYP. Who prepared the Draft HCP/SYP and do government biologists think it is adequate? The draft HCP/SYP was prepared by Pacific Lumber Company, however, the conservation and management guidelines for endangered species (and other covered species) were developed during long and difficult negotiations with government biologists.
