32. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #2: “Clarity and Linkages” Key Messages  Get an independent review of your document(s)  Follow up on independent review  Once FSP submitted, have a meeting or other form of dialogue with the licensee to increase the understanding of what is intended by a R/S where there are questions of clarity

33. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #2: “Clarity and Linkages” Key Messages  Make sure linkages to modifiers/qualifiers are clear and specific  Use extra caution when using single R/S to address multiple or overlapping objectives  Supporting document and definitions can be used to tell the story for the decision maker and others  Agency responses should also be clear and specific rather than asking questions

34. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #3: “Built in Amendments” Example 1 Objective – Old Growth Objective To contribute to the conservation of biodiversity, licensees must maintain old forest by biogeoclimatic variant within each landscape unit according to the age of old forest and the percentage of old forest retention that is specified in Tables 1 through 4 and the assignment of Natural Disturbance Types outlined in Appendix 3, and subject to provisions 5 through 9 below.

37. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #3: “Built in Amendments” Example 2 Objective – Objective set by government for wildlife The objective set by government for wildlife is, without unduly reducing the supply of timber from British Columbia's forests, to conserve sufficient wildlife habitat in terms of amount of area, distribution of areas and attributes of those areas, for the survival of species at risk. (Notice – Indicators of the Amount, Distribution and Attributes of Wildlife Habitat Required for the Survival of Species at Risk in the South Island Forest District dated December 21, 2004.)

38. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #3: “Built in Amendments” Example 2 Result or Strategy – Marbelled Murrelet 1.

39. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #3: “Built in Amendments” Key Messages  Contemplating future events and providing built in amended R/S is a useful means of reducing transactional costs and increasing operational flexibility  Contemplated future events must be clearly understood and consistent with the legislated framework and the built in amended R/S must meet the legislated approval tests

40. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #3: “Built in Amendments” Key Messages  When contemplating future events ensure you include a R/S to match the future event  It is very difficult to contemplate every future event, therefore don’t try to cover off everything in a built in amendment; it may be more efficient to amend the plan later as necessary

41. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #4: “Meeting R/S Legal Test” Example 1 Objectives set by government for water, fish, wildlife and biodiversity within riparian areas The objective set by government for water, fish, wildlife and biodiversity within riparian areas is, without unduly reducing the supply of timber from British Columbia's forests, to conserve, at the landscape level, the water quality, fish habitat, wildlife habitat and biodiversity associated with those riparian areas.

46. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #4: “Meeting R/S Legal Test” Key Messages  A reviewer needs to be able to understand the R/S in order to know what is being committed to and the implementer needs to be able to understand it to be able to deliver it  If using a strategy, licensees should include a sufficient number of steps to reasonably articulate the commitment, but there is no need to identify the “how to” of the strategy

47. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #4: “Meeting R/S Legal Test” Key Messages  The MOFR is struggling with reviewing strategies versus the process based Code world (with respect to measureable and verifiable)

48. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk in When providing Determination Advise” Example 1 Objective – Objective set by government for wildlife The objective set by government for wildlife is, without unduly reducing the supply of timber from British Columbia's forests, to conserve sufficient wildlife habitat in terms of amount of area, distribution of areas and attributes of those areas, for the survival of species at risk. (Notice –Indicators of the Amount, Distribution and Attributes of Wildlife Habitat Required for the Survival of Species at Risk in the Campbell River Forest District dated July 27, 2004.)

49. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 1 Result or Strategy - Marbled Murrelet WHA’s for Marbled Murrelet have yet to be established within the area covered by this FSP. Preliminary habitat modeling based on the criteria specified in the Identified Wildlife Management Strategy Version 2004 has been completed for the FSP area and potentially suitable habitat in the non-contributing landbase has been identified. The following strategy will be implemented by the Licensee over the term of this FSP to refine suitable Marbled Murrelet nesting habitat and facilitate the establishment of appropriate WHAs that are consistent with government policy:

50. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 1 Result or Strategy - Marbled Murrelet Air photo interpretation and low-level aerial surveys using helicopters will be used to map and rank potentially suitable marbled murrelet habitat (these techniques are used to refine the habitat modeling). Ranking will be based on:  … (See Handout) … Until WHAs are designated, the Licensees may submit new CP applications for harvesting in areas of Moderate to Very High habitat value … provided that an area equivalent in habitat value within the timber harvesting landbase, in addition to 143.1 ha, is retained. Once WHAs are approved …

51. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 2 Objective – Objective set by government for water, fish, wildlife and biodiversity in riparian areas The objective set by government for water, fish, wildlife and biodiversity within riparian areas is, without unduly reducing the supply of timber from British Columbia's forests, to conserve, at the landscape level, the water quality, fish habitat, wildlife habitat and biodiversity associated with those riparian areas.

52. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 2 Result or Strategy - Riparian Management Zones S1-3, W1, W5 RMZs (FPPR Section 12(3)) Unless specific wildlife and/or biodiversity values are identified in the RMA, retention of trees within the RMZ will be based on consideration of the likelihood of damages to the RRZ caused by windthrow. Specifically for stands with: 1. a Low likelihood of post-harvest windthrow within the RRZ, retention of trees is unnecessary in the RMZ. 2. a Moderate or High likelihood of post-harvest windthrow within the RRZ, a. retention will vary, with possible edge manipulation treatments to improve wind-firmness in the RMA.

53. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 2 Result or Strategy- Riparian Management Zones (Cont’d) b. where trees are felled under section 6.2.4.1, retention may be reduced to minimize windthrow hazards. Should specific wildlife and/or biodiversity values be identified appropriate retention levels will be maintained to conserve and protect these values. S4-6, L3, W3 RMZs including S4-6 RMZs not defined in FPPR Section 52(2) (FPPR Section 12(3)) Trees will be retained where necessary to protect the integrity of the stream bank, channel, or waterbody, on a site-specific basis within the RMZ, where it will benefit the protection of identified water quality, fish habitat, wildlife, and/or biodiversity values.

54. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk … ” Example 2 Additional Panel Discussion Points

55. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk in When providing Determination Advise” Key Messages  The professionals can rely on the supporting documents, history of practice, SOPs used by professionals to provide a clear understanding of what is going to be delivered, the context of the commitment and what level of risk is associated with the R/S  Professional accountability is an element to be considered when assessing risk

56. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Theme #5: “Use of Risk in When providing Determination Advise” Key Messages  Expectations meeting is a good place to discuss risk and information requirements  Amount of supporting documentation is commensurate with the level of risk to the resource value the R/S proposes and the extent the proposed R/S deviates from commonly used practices  R/S global qualifiers and liability clauses may be redundant and may add to the complexity of the plan and should be used with caution

57. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Other Key Messages

58. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Other Key Messages  Professional dialogue during FSP development and review process at two key points, prior to public review and comment and post submission, but pre- determination  While personal dialogue is preferred, any written review comments should be clear and to the point rather than asking a series of questions where possible  Don’t let issues fester or get abandoned on someone’s desk if you know there is an issue with the plan; discuss with the reviewing/developing forester ASAP

59. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Other Key Messages  Should work with districts regarding submission schedule/plans and include a schedule of meetings and points of contact  Follow through on commitments made during review meetings, or provide rationales for varying from those commitments will enhance subsequent review requirements  A partnership exists between proposing and reviewing foresters with a common goal of getting the FSP approved

60. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Professional Reliance

61. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Professional Reliance Key Messages from Richmond/Nanaimo Culture Change Sessions  Supporting Information can play a significant role, especially when proposing new approaches to stewardship  Supporting information assists district in reviewing FSP and speeds up the review process  Reviewers need to pay attention to supporting information as it can be used to tell the story and fill in any gaps that appear missing from the Result or Strategy

62. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Professional Reliance (Cont’d)  Professional reliance requires strong professional accountability  More peer review before plan submission within and outside of industry and same for government reviewers after submission  Work to improve the level of trust and relationship between professionals  Be innovative; manage risk, don’t avoid it

63. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Professional Reliance (Cont’d)  Allow prescriber to go out and try something innovative  Celebrate and communicate successes  Good communications down to the “field level” to ensure results and strategies are carried out  Understand the role you are in as a professional  Where the ministry is possibly uncomfortable with a Result or Strategy, consider a trial period with documented monitoring and evaluation first

64. CRIT FRPA Results or Strategies Workshop - May 18, 2006 Concluding Remarks
