Adequacy of a Public Review Period near McBride

The district manager of the Robson Valley Forest District authorized a shortened review and comment period for an amendment to McBride Forest Industries’ forest development plan for Forest Licence A15429. The Fraser Headwaters Alliance (the complainant) submitted a complaint to the Forest Practices Board on July 1, 2001, asserting that the review and comment period was too short, and that a forest health assessment should have been made available to them during the review period.
