2 Today s Presentation Integrated Land Management Forest Management Energy Sector Activities Integrated Planning Opportunities Summary 2

3 Integrated Land Management ILM is the strategic, planned approach to the way we use land and resources. GOA, Describing the Integrated Land Management Approach 3

4 Integrated Land Management Focus is on reducing our footprint on the landbase and Integrated planning efforts Re-use of existing footprint Reclamation of old footprint Coordinated sharing of new footprint 4

5 Integrated Land Management Reduced footprint Ecological Services Win-Win Opportunities and Synergies Coordinated Planning Optimized Corridors Reforestation/Reclamation Good economics Social License 5

6 Forest Management Scale of Landbase Demands from Society Ecosystem-Based Management (EBM) Long-term strategic planning Multiple-Use Challenges 6

7 DMI Fibre Sources Over 7.5 million ha 18 million acres 116,000 quarter sections Includes DMI FMAs and dispositions on other company s FMAs 7

8 Demands from Society Maintain Biological Diversity Maintain Ecosystem Productivity Protect Soil and Water Consider Global Ecological Cycles Multiple Benefits to Society Accepting Society s Responsibility for Sustainable Development 8

9 Ecosystem-Based Management Reflects what may occur naturally. Emulate natural disturbances such as fires and insects. Ensure all the pieces are there for the future. Manage for the identified values. 9

10 Planning Cycle Forest Model Forest Management Analysis Selection of Mgmt Scenario Detailed Forest Management Plan (Strategic Plan) Access Yield Curve Development 10 yr Spatial Harvest Sequence Special Mgmt. Zones Growth and Yield Analysis Land-use Forest Classification Research General Development Plan (Tactical 5-year outlook) Forest Surveys Volume Growth Reforestation Vegetation Inventory Forest Roads Streams Lakes Fires updates Annual Operating Plan (Implementation) -harvests -silviculture -roads -surveys 10

11 Planning Cycle (cont d) Planning horizon of 200 years Ten-year planning cycle Spatial identification of 70 years of harvest blocks 11

12 Consultation Public Advisory Committee First Nation Consultation 12

13 Co-operation between Companies INTEGRATED Planning and field activities 13

14 Multiple Use Objectives to gain the maximum benefit from an area. Overlapping values Overlapping interests Expectation for access Multiple users, multiple products, multiple interests 14

15 Challenges Cumulative effects Clarification of public priorities for forest lands Different regulations on same landbase Public Land Act Forests Act Social license to operate 15

16 Oil and Gas 1,400+ km Pipelines 67,000+ km Seismic 5,000+ Well Sites 1,000+ km Unimproved Roads 16

17 Our Goal operationalize ILM..work together to reduce our footprint, promote sustainability and remain profitable. 17

18 Achieve ILM Benefits Reduced footprint and ecological impacts Maintain sustainable harvest level (AAC) Meet objectives for values and indicators Operational and economic benefits Protect critical investments and values (e.g. R&D sites) Ecological Services 18

19 Opportunities Integrated planning of O&G activities with forest industry strategic and operational plans. Reclamation of industrial footprint. Optimized corridors Roads, transmission lines, pipelines, etc. 19

20 Integrated Planning Opportunities for IP at both the individual block level and larger project level. Integrated planning prior to O&G activities. Integrated planning at reclamation. 20

21 Integrated Planning Before Activities Reduced footprint Optimized access Well-planned corridors Multiple interests and values Reduced access issues (e.g. pipeline crossings) Reclamation plans integrated with forest company s reforestation plans Overall reduction of disturbed area. 21

22 Integrated Planning At Reclamation Planning of harvest areas to overlap areas with significant development. Reclamation can then be planned, implemented and monitored to coincide with reforestation by forest company. 22

23 Reclamation Synergies can be realized. Trained professionals Know how to grow forests Specialized equipment Seed available Aspen, spruce, etc. Research partners Annual reforestation program 23

24 Optimized Access Planned access Alignment of pipelines and power lines Reduced footprint Opportunities for reduced maintenance Reduced costs 24

25 Ecological Services benefits people obtain from ecosystems. 25

26 Summary Integrated Planning and implementation between O&G and Forest Industry provides Win-Win Opportunities Reduced footprint Streamlined processes Synergies resulting in reduced costs Ecological Services Aids in maintaining social license to operate. Reclamation should ideally be part of a strategic, integrated planning process. Forest companies provide an cost effective and efficient means for meeting ILM objectives. 26
