No clearcut opening will be allowed within three diameters of closest clearcut opening
for 20 years.

This principle would insure that no watershed area was harvested at a rate that might
possibly destabilize an entire watershed ecosystem.

No clearcut opening will be allowed within a minimum 100 meters of regularly flowing
or ponded water.

Perhaps the greatest negative impact of industrial logging is on streams, lakes and
oceanside habitats. To insure that these impacts are reduced to a minimum, a wide ‘leave
Strip’ should border all flawing or ponded water sources.

All timber sale awards will be made only on the condition that the following disclosures
be made:
a) volume and specie/age profile of total sale area
b) stumpage volume/value projected and as scaied
c) name of accountable, on-site Ministry of Forests manager
d) name and address of harvester
e) destination of harvest, end product by volume
{) dates of tenure award, harvest start, harvest completion,
completion of all site rehabilitation work, etc.

The background and subsequent performance of those who are allowed to harvest British
Columbia forests should be public knowledge. The above disclosure parameters also
become a valuable resource management tool.

The export of round logs and cants shail be prohibited.

The timber resources of British Columbia are too valuable to be allowed to be shipped
offshore.

All timber harvested will be fully utilized.

Industrial clearcut logging has traditionally left massive amounts of timber fibre to
waste. Any tree harvested, by any technique, should be manufactured to its highest
economic use, be it lumber, pulp, or mulch.

Ecological Diversity . |
Relatively small representative samples of each forest habitat type in each T.S.A. will be

preserved.

There are many areas currently preserved in each T.S.A for parks, wilderness,
ecological reserves, UREP reserves, and other related conservation uses. The siting of
conservation and public use areas should be targeted to preserve examples of the full
range of habitat types that exist in each T.S.A.

Relatively large representative samples of each forest habitat will be preserved
somewhere in British Columbia.
