  2. Introduction • FDP for CFAs • FDP for woodlots • Site plans for woodlots and CFAs • Roads for woodlots and CFAs

  3. FDPs for Community Forest Agreements • FDPs for CFAs are not extended to April 1, 2005 • FDPs for CFAs expire as specified in their letter of approval • FDPs for CFAs can be extended for up to 1 year

  4. FDPs for Woodlot Licences • FDPs that are due to expire before April 1, 2005, are extended to April 1, 2005. • FDPs that are due to expire after April 1, 2005, remain in effect until the expiry date specified in their Letter of Approval. • One year extensions of woodlot FDPs are eliminated. • FDPs that expired in the last year are also automatically extended to April 1, 2005.

  5. Reduced Content for new FDPs • green-up and cutblock size considerations have been eliminated • referral to resource agencies eliminated • there is a reduced list of “forest resources” that require measures to protect

  6. Site Plans for Woodlots • WLs and CFAs still required to prepare and obtain the DM’s approval of a Site Plan for new harvest areas • unless the area qualifies for a Site Plan exemption • Site Plans no longer need to describe the function of trees that are retained in Riparian Management Zones

  7. Roads for Woodlots and CFAs • Sections 44 to 57 of the WLFMR are repealed and replaced with wording that parallels sections 4 to 17 of the Forest Road Regulation • Persons involved with WLs and CFAs should review Ron Davis’ information on amendments to road requirements

  8. Different Road Requirements for WLs and CFAs Compared to Major Licensees • WLs and CFAs are only required to prepare RLADs in 3 situations where DM approval of the RLAD is required • WLs and CFAs are not required to make RLADs publicly available • WLs and CFAs can be authorized to construct or modify any road on the Crown portion of a WL or CFA using a Road Permit or Cutting Permit

  9. Roads for Woodlots and CFAs • Preparation of a RLAD and DM approval is required in only 3 circumstances: • Work in riparian reserve zones or riparian management zones, other than crossings • Within 100 m upslope of a known licensed community water supply intake • In areas of unstable or potentially unstable terrain, where the licensee proposes measures that will not result in the least likelihood of a landslide
