The operating areas of the licence are located in the Chilliwack Forest District, within the Fraser Timber Supply Area. The objectives of this full scope audit were to determine compliance with the requirements of the Act and Regulations, including the transitional provisions for:

• operational plans approved between May 1, 1996, and June 15, 1997;
• forest practices conducted between May 1, 1996, and June 15, 1997; and
• operational plans approved between June 15, 1995, and June 15, 1997, related to the forest practices selected for the audit.

On November 2, 1995, the Board received a complaint from an organization about the submission and approval of a forest development plan (FDP) near a provincial park in the Lower Mainland. The complaint involved three cutblocks. Concerns were raised about the clearcutting of areas adjacent to a stream, inaccurate engineering and ecological information, and removal of large trees near a wetland. The complainant also asserted that the Ministry of Forests relied on an inadequate recreational inventory and that neither the Ministry of Forests nor the licensee referred the FDP to BC Parks for review.
