Forest management reasons for postponing operation of cutting permit

2 For the purposes of

section 58.21 [postponement of operation of cutting permits] of the Act, the minister may postpone the operation of a cutting permit

(

a) if, in the minister's opinion,

(

i) it is necessary or desirable for a holder of a cutting permit to harvest other timber in priority to deferred timber because the other timber is in danger, as a result of forest health factors, of being significantly reduced in value, lost or destroyed, and

(ii) the postponement will not result in the deferred timber being significantly reduced in value, lost or destroyed, or

(

b) if, in the minister's opinion, the continuance or completion of timber harvesting operations under the cutting permit is likely to result in

(

i) an adverse effect on reforestation, or

(ii) an unacceptable risk of a fire hazard,

in an area of land covered by the cutting permit.

— P. BELL, Minister of Forests and Range; M. COELL, Presiding Member of the Executive Council.
