A-18.1 - Sustainable Forest Development Act

Section 46.1 Disposition versions

2013-04-09

46.1. In determining the volumes of timber referred to in subparagraph 8.1 of the first paragraph of section 46, the chief forester ensures that harvesting that timber will not affect the allowable cut assigned to the area concerned or impact negatively on the achievement of sustainable forest development objectives. Such timber may, as the Minister determines, be left standing, be marketed by the timber marketing board, or be sold to one or more wood processing plants at the rates set by the timber marketing board.

The volumes of timber referred to in subparagraph 8.1 of the first paragraph of section 46 are the volumes which were not harvested in the area concerned during the five years preceding the five-year review of annual cuts or during the period covered by the previous tactical plans for integrated forest development, but which, solely for the purpose of calculating the allowable cut, were considered by the chief forester as having been harvested.
