Introduction
Forest Investment Account funding recipients interested in
undertaking Development of objectives at the landscape/watershed level,
which will be in most cases a grouping of landscape units in some cases
a single unit, are required under their recipient agreement with
PricewaterhouseCoopers to adhere to standards established by government.
The table below provides on-line access to those standards and related
documents to enable recipients to plan such projects.
Significant background work is necessary when developing a legal
objective for forest management. Much of this background work can be
accomplished through existing activities and associated standards within
the LBIP.
For key biodiversity objectives such as Old Growth Management Areas
and Wildlife Tree Retention detailed direction on development of these
objectives is provided in the Landscape Unit Planning Guide (LUPG).
Direction on integration of objectives for different values and
development of plans that span multiple landscape units is provided in
the document Sustainable Resource Management A Landscape-Level Strategy
for Resource Development.
Development of legal objectives may show the need for background
work. This background work will often be the same as is required for
preparation of a criteria and indicators for sustainable forest
management or for development of a sustainable forest management plan.
Background work that is covered by an eligible activity under the LBIP
but varies from the provided standards will require that a request be
submitted to PricewaterhouseCoopers who will then forward that request
for approval of the variance.
