| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This is the Forest Practices Board's report on the resolution of the Griffin Lake complaint. A resident of Salmon Arm wrote to the Board on November 16, 2007, concerned about current and planned timber harvesting by Federated Co?Operatives Limited (the licensee). The complainant was unsure of the licensee's plans for the area and wondered if the licensee had adequately considered the potential for landslides and impacts to a formally un?named creek known as ﾓChester Creek.ﾔ Chester Creek supplies domestic water and generates power for five cottages on Griffin Lake. The complainant, representing the five cabin owners, asked the Board to clarify and help resolve these concerns.ﾠﾠ The participants had previously discussed the licensee's plans for a cutblock that was harvested in 2007. However, the complainants did not know what the future road or harvesting plans were. Board staff, two of the cabin owners, and the licensee visited the site and discussed the issues. At the end of the site visit, the complainants and licensee agreed that they have a better understanding of each other's concerns and activities. They now consider the complaint resolved. terrain stability, water supply, water quality, landslide, erosion |
