The Refusal of Cutting Permit or Road Permit Regulation allows the minister or delegate to refuse a cutting permit (CP) or road permit (RP) application that is, wholly, or partially contained, in a BCTS operating area, if any of the following criteria apply:
However, the Minister, or delegate, may also consider any mitigating factors the minister considers relevant to the above criteria.
Consistent with the requirements, and only for the purposes, of the regulation, BC Timber Sales is making known those proposed harvest areas and roads, it wants subject to the regulation, spatially identified in a multi-year development plan. These proposed harvest areas and roads are updated regularly.
The content of the multi-year development plan map is intended only for the purposes of the regulation and is not a comprehensive map that includes notation of all that was taken into consideration when determining block or road location.
For more comprehensive information on those considerations, please contact your local BCTS business area office.
