Michigan DNR October 2008 Surveillance Audit   ·   any changes within DNR (e.g., staffing, land acquisitions, planning documents) that areReview of pertinent to the certification.   Logistics ·   As during the certification audit we should plan to have lunch on site to expedite the visit. ·   We will travel in your vehicle(s) each day during the audit, but will require transportation to a car rental location in Lansing at end of the audit. ·   We ask that you provide hardhats.   Field Site Selections You have provided maps showing activities in these locations over the past several years. We have selected an initial subset of compartments and request additional information on them, including their accessibility and the likelihood of being actively harvested during the visit. Once we receive this information we will select a smaller number of sites that we hope to visit. On the day of the audit we would ask your local forestry staff to tell us about any sales that are being worked at that time, and we would add one or two of these if possible   Documentation Requested When we arrive each day please provide documentation for the selected sites similar to that provided for the certification audit (maps, project descriptions, and contracts). We would also need copies of the draft or recently completed management plans and any other information that would help us determine conformance to the certification requirements.   The enclosed tentative schedule should be reviewed by all participants. This schedule can be adapted either in advance or on-site to accommodate any special circumstances. If you have any questions regarding this planned audit, please contact either of us.     Sincerely yours,
