The audit will include all operational planning, harvesting, roads, silviculture, and wildfire protection practices carried out over the last year for compliance with the Forest and Range Practices Act and the Wildfire Act.
Auditors will be examining activities near Pitt Lake, Norrish Creek, the west side of Harrison Lake, Sowaqua Creek (north of Hope) and Mowhokam Creek (north of Boston Bar). Teal Cedar’s operating area includes 29 community watersheds, where its activities must not affect the quantity or timing of water flow, or affect water quality in a manner that impacts human health.
The Forest Practices Board is B.C.’s independent watchdog for sound forest and range practices, reporting its findings and recommendations directly to the public and government.
