Forest Practices Board to audit operation near Williams Lake
| News |
The Forest Practices Board has planned an audit for the forest practices of Amabilis Contracting Ltd, part of the Pioneer Family Timber Partnership. The audit is for Forest Licence A79575, and beginning on June 18, will examine operational planning, harvesting, roads, silviculture, fire preparedness and hazard abatement for compliance with forest practices legislation.
Harvesting is aimed at salvaging mountain pine beetle-infested timber. Communities near the audit areas include the village of Horsefly and the City of Williams Lake. Once the audit work is completed, a report will be prepared, and any party that may be adversely affected by the audit findings will have a chance to respond.
The board's final report and recommendations will then be released to the public and government. The Forest Practices Board is BC.'s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.
The board audits forest and range practices on public land, as well as appropriateness of government enforcement.
