7 Resource features are partially defined in section 51 of the Forest Practices Code of BC Act. Additional resource features are defined in section 1(2) of the WLFMR. The complete list includes: RIPARIAN MANAGEMENT Riparian Class of Feature Designation on Map Falling and/or Skidding or Yarding Across a Stream Post-harvest stand structure Trees to be Retained Species Characteristics Function Minimum Basal Area (m 2 /ha) or Trees/ha or Number of Trees Harvesting is proposed in the RMZ of an S4, S5, or S6 stream that is a direct tributary to a known temperature sensitive S1, S2, S3, or S4 stream and there are currently sufficient numbers of shade trees in the RMZ. Harvesting is proposed in the RMZ of an S4, S5, or S6 stream that is a direct tributary to a S1, S2, or S3 stream or a marine-sensitive zone and there are sufficient numbers and distribution of trees in the RMZ to provide or contribute significantly to the maintenance of stream bank or channel stability. Measures for debris management if falling and/or skidding or yarding across a stream is proposed SITE PLAN APPLICABLE TO LARGER AREA Woodlot Licence # Page! 7 of 16
