Objective of the ReviewObjective of the Review
To support government in determining whether the HLPO, including both efforts to interpret and implement it, reflects the required balance of social, economic and environmental values of the citizens of the Kootenay-Boundary region.

HLP ReviewHLP Review
• The first HLP Order was signed off by three ministers in December of 2000 which included a policy in Part 3 called Monitoring and Review
• It was intended by government that a formal review be undertaken in the first six months of 2004 with results submitted to ministers by July 1st of that year.

Task Force RecommendedTask Force Recommended
• KBLUP Timber Targets range remain unchanged from 4.7 to 5.2 million meters
• Commitment to long term planning• Continued support for refining spatial analytical tools in
assessing timber supply and the associated environmental risk
• Continued support for most projects, including field testing the results
• Chief Forester consider partition cuts to promote the attainment of pushing the envelope of wood availability and hence test the economic viability of these actions
![Page 5: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Review (Continued)Review (Continued)
• In the process of field testing the objectives (putting them into effect on the ground through approval of operational plans), it became apparent that industries concern around access to economical wood was real in certain locations
• Government reviewed the mature objective, amended requirements for mature and replaced the 2001 Order with a new HLP Order signed October 26th, 2002
![Page 6: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Review (Continued)Review (Continued)
• Under the new order government in consultation with communities, forest licensees and other interests will create thresholds for timber supply, costs and timber profiles that would initiate a review of Objectives 1 to 9.
• This resulted in a perception by some companies that equity for impacts was not equally distributed
![Page 7: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
So what happened next?So what happened next?
• Slocan approached the Deputy of MSRM with a proposal to solve the perceived equity question by Implementing a Sustainable Forest Management Planning Process that would improve on the HLP
• An MOU was signed off between MSRM and Slocan to use SFM to improve on legal objectives. Addendums were signed off by Tembec, Pope & Talbot and Kalesnikoff

SFM MOU and AddendumsSFM MOU and Addendums
• Intent was to use a criteria and indicators approach to improve on HLP objectives and jointly develop with MSRM the workplan to do this including cost sharing.
• This resulted in cost sharing 1.4 Million in projects in 2003. The data went into spatial analysis to test the HLPO and alternative approaches using SFM indicators

Spatial Analysis GoalsSpatial Analysis Goals
• To assist in implementing the Kootenay Boundary Land Use Plan (Part 3 Requirements)
• To develop forest-related spatial planning in the old Nelson Forest Region
• Provide linkage of strategic, tactical and operational plans
• To get operational planners aware of and using spatial planning tools

Spatial and SFM Project Objectives Spatial and SFM Project Objectives
• To create databases and processes suitable for spatial analyses• To cover all of the old Nelson Forest Region• To incorporate both wood supply and environmental values• To create software which utilizes this data• Evaluate the trends coming out of the analyses for determining
need for change

ResultsResults
• The review was completed to the satisfaction of the government
• Spatial analysis costs were reduced from $150,000 down to $17,000 per MU
• In specific units a 20 year supply of accessible wood was confirmed using new tools
• Uncertainties in spatial data version control, coding and currency continue to be a problem

RecommendationsRecommendations
![Page 27: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
RecommendationsRecommendations
1. MSRM (ILMA)should develop and deploy a principled management system that includes:
standardized data sets that are directly linked to legal objectives
forest estate spatial analysis standards
a decision-making support pathway for interpreting spatially-explicit modelling results and integrating them into strategic decision-making (HLPOs, LRMPs, SFMPs, FSPs, etc.)
![Page 28: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
RecommendationsRecommendations
2. In support of recommendation #1, MSRM (ILMA)should assume and assign authority for setting and ensuring consistent standards or practices related to:
reliability and accuracy of resultants and source data
data nomenclature
metadata documentation
spatial modelling netdown logic and modelling assumptions used for input and output layers
custodianship for data layers, including data manipulation, verification and full documentation
![Page 29: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
3. Establish baseline conditions for comparing future proposed HLP changes against, including:
disturbing the non-THLB
appropriate site productivity adjustments for each MU
genetic gains over time for each MU
consistent approach to MHAs
a full suite of indicators and associated benchmarks to monitor the effectiveness of the HLPO to meet environmental objectives
• “future desired conditions” that describe the optimal abundance and distribution of important habitat elements
![Page 30: Kootenay HLP/Spatial](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56814588550346895db26cab/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
4. The HLPO should be kept current through an open and transparent process that involves affected stakeholders.
5. Roll all variances into a new Order and clarify
understanding of what is required.

• Some of the recommendations have been acted on by developing a stronger relationship between data and decisions through;
• The faciltation of the Spatial Data Parntership
