| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
Section 42 (1) of the Water Regulation gives authority to a Habitat Officer to add specific conditions to ensure the protection of habitat in addition to the conditions of general application. Under this authority, MWLAP Habitat Officers, Omineca Region, require the following mandatory terms and conditions: 42 (1) To protect habitat, a person making a change in and about a stream under this regulation, other than under section 44(1)(o) to (s) or (2), must make that change in accordance with terms and conditions specified by the habitat officer with respect to (a) The timing window or the period or periods of time in the year during which the change can proceed without causing harm to fish, wildlife or habitat. The timing window of least risk to fish and fish habitat must be applied to all activities in fish streams as well as tributaries that have a risk of depositing sediment into fish streams. Windows of least risk are designed to protect all fish species known to occur in a stream. On way fish presence can be confirmed is through a fish inventory database1. Please note if using this database that the lack of fish records for a particular area is not necessarily equivalent to fish absence. All streams are assumed to have both spring and fall spawners, until proven otherwise. White (non-shaded) areas in the Table represent time periods when in-stream work must be conducted. Numbers in the Table represent an approved start or end date for in-stream work. |
