The CSRD has received a referral from Tolko Industries Ltd. (Lumby) regarding new cutblocks and roads it is adding to the Okanagan Woodlands Forest Stewardship Plan (FSP).  An FSP defines the areas in which timber harvesting and road construction activities may occur during the term of the FSP.

Many of these cutblocks and roads are located within the "Community Crown Interface Area" of the Okanagan Shuswap Land and Resource Management Plan (LRMP). 

Several cutblocks and roads are also located in known hazard areas of the CSRD,  most notably the Mara Creek/Hummingbird Creek basin directly above the community of Swansea Point. 

The CSRD has received numerous emails and phone calls from Swansea Point and Salmon Valley residents who are concerned about the potential impact from the FSP amendments.  Concerns have been raised about the risk of damaging landslides and debris flows but also the possible disturbance to domestic water sources and viewscapes.

The Electoral Area Directors' Committee made the following recommendation to the Board:

 THAT: the Board recommend to Tolko Industries Ltd. (Lumby) and the Minister of Forest Lands and Natural Resource Operations that a moratorium be placed on future logging activity in the Hummingbird Creek and Mara Creek basin due to the history of large debris flows in this area;

AND THAT: the Board request Tolko Industries Ltd. (Lumby) to hold public engagement meetings in Sicamous, Falkland and Silver Creek to provide information and answer questions regarding the Forest Stewardship Plan amendments.
