Abstract

This Regulation enacts section 110 of the Forest Act. This states that where a person incurs an expense not considered in the determination of stumpage rates which is approved in advance, the approved expense will be applied as a credit against stumpage in respect of timber harvested in a prescribed area of British Columbia. The Regulation is divided into 7 parts as follows: 1 Interpretation; 2 Prescribed area; 2.1 Spent; 3 Exception, (where cutting is redirected); 4 Exception, (where a public sustained yield unit is not wholly within one timber supply area); 5 Exception, (Vancouver forest region and the coastal portion of the Prince Rupert forest region); 6 Repealed and 7 Exception, (forest nursery or seed orchard). The exceptions outlined above specify instances or areas which are also included in the prescribed area of British Columbia. Section 151 of the Forest Act is also relevant to the enactment of this Regulation as it enables the Lieutenant Governor in Council to make regulations referred to in section 41 of the Interpretation Act.
