A.         Timber harvesting operations within the Township of Marshall on any parcel of property over one (1) acre in size shall require a timber harvesting permit, which shall be valid for a period of one (1) year.  The timber harvesting permit shall be issued by the Township for the entire site, but subject to review for each cutting block.  Harvesting will be controlled by establishing cutting blocks on the permitted site.  A timber harvesting permit shall be valid for a maximum of one (1) cutting block at a time.  The harvester shall complete and restore a cutting block to the satisfaction of the Township before commencing timber harvesting in the next cutting block.  A timber harvesting operation that moves from one cutting block to another without first receiving the approval of the Township shall be considered a violation of this Chapter and shall be subject to the penalties referenced in this Chapter and any other appropriate legal processes.  If the timber harvesting operation is conducted without or in violation of a Township permit, then the landowner and the timber harvesting operator shall each be in violation of this Chapter and each shall be subject to the penalties under this Chapter.
