Roadmap to Feedstock Supply for Biomass Energy

Step 1pForest Resource Management Plans

– “High” level plan– Minister establishes planning area which can include Public and/or First Nation settlement land

– Generally Forest Management Branch tries to y gcomplete these plans through joint planning with First Nations

– Lead by a planning committee appointed by theLead by a planning committee appointed by the Minister and First Nation if settlement land included

– Terms of Reference established by the Minster determines the Planning Committee Scopedetermines the Planning Committee Scope

Step 3:  Determination of Annual Allowable CutStep 3: ete at o o ua o ab e Cut• Decision made by Director of FMB based on FRMP, First Nation representations,  public p prepresentations, timber supply analysis, land‐use plan, other applicable plans and factors specified b l ti th Di t b li ill ff tby regulation the Director believes will affect timber supply for that area.

• Establishes an maximum amount of timber that• Establishes an maximum amount of timber that may be harvested annually for the FRMP area.

Roadmap to Feedstock Supply for Biomass Energy

• Forest Resource Management Areas – Higher Level of Feedstock Security– Provides highest level of feedstock security for bioenergy

• Annual Limit Regions Lower Level of Feedstock Security• Annual Limit Regions – Lower Level of Feedstock Security

– Harvest limits established by regulation are very restrictive if live timber harvested

– Designed to mimic historic harvest history– AAC when established replaces timber harvest limit– Director may determine a new AAC and apportionment if factors brought 

forward to support an increase or decrease in timber harvesting.pp g– Could support a high level of feedstock security if only dead timber harvested.
