Third Party: Forest Practices Board
APPEAL NO. 1997-FOR-16

Canfor appealed a contravention determination that it had felled trees and operated machinery across a stream. The appeal focused on whether the watercourse met the Code’s definition of a “stream.” The FAC found that an alluvial sediment bed does not have to be continuous throughout the course of a stream, and upheld the contravention and administrative penalty.

Appeal dismissed.
