1. Post-FSP World Making it work between Tenures, C&E, Stewardship (Larry Badowski) (Tenures Officer – PGFD) A presentation at the PFIT Post FSP Workshop by Larry Badowski on MoFR’s experience implementing FSPs.

2. Post-FSP World A) Amendments Signing Matrix for co-holder FSPs Who signs for the agreement holder(s)? Who signs for the professional preparing? Submission formats? Sequential #? Types of amendments? New FSP Tracking System (March 31/07)

3. Post-FSP World Amendments (cont’d) 1) Declared areas (company RPF, & at least one FSP partner – Woodlands or Operations Mgr) 2) Amendments not requiring approval – no text changes (same as above) 3) Amendments not requiring approval - text changes (same as above) 4) Amendments requiring DDM approval (RPF, & all FSP partner signatures)

4. Post-FSP World Amendments (cont’d) Option 5: “Amendment submitted to, & approved or acknowledged by, approving District with lead from the most affected District. However, with agreement of the approving District, the most affected District would be allowed, in some cases, to approve the amendment.”

5. Post-FSP World B) Land Use Orders Provincial Non-Spatial Old Growth Order Applies to both TFLs (& a CFA) in PGFD ILMB sets the targets by NDT/BEC zone No clear mechanism to amend the Order Recruitment strategies for any deficient zones are to be approved by MOFR DDM

6. Post-FSP World Land Use Orders (cont’d) Prince George TSA Biodiversity order Defines old growth, old interior & young patch size distribution targets for merged BEC units Administered by a consortium of Licensees Voluntarily report out once a year; follow a non- legal implementation policy No spatial definition of OG patches

7. Post-FSP World Land Use Orders (cont’d) Closely allied is stand level biodiversity Can it be “strategically located” vrs randomly scattered across the landscape? One TFL FSP argued successfully that retention should focus on known biodiversity priorities & locations The term “stand level” in FRPA need not be block specific

8. Post-FSP World C) Exemptions What are the mechanisms for variances or exemptions (e.g. visuals)? Exemption only - FPPR 12(7)? Exemption & FSP amendment? Amend VQOs via GAR Order; no FSP amendment? Lots of increasing pressure for exceptions in the MPB salvage polygons

9. Post-FSP World Other Issues No batch fix for setting up FSP SSIDs in RESULTS RESULTS reporting is legislated; the ESF is policy only; C&E implications? Can FL operating areas be redirected at the Forest Act/TSA level; what will this do for FRPA FDUs? Will “materiality” ever be legally defined? Without cut block plans, how do we ensure appraisal allowances are included in CPs to mitigate natural range barrier impacts?
