UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention
Initiative – Gaps and Potential Efficiencies
Date of Meeting: Electoral Area Directors Meeting – April 5, 2017
Background:
The Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) has been engaged in wildfire forest fuel management (FFM) activities on Crown land since 2010. Funds set aside by Electoral Area Directors for use in their respective areas provide the SLRD Emergency Program the “local government share” required to make application to the Union of British Columbia Municipalities (UBCM) Strategic Wildfire Initiative Program (SWPI) grant program. The SWPI funds FFM activities across 5 activity areas, with funding contributions that vary from 50% - 90%. Since 2010, the SLRD has received SWPI grants amounting to almost $700,000 in the following 4 categories1: Funding Category 2017 Funding Ratio FireSmart Communities Initiative Annual grant of $10,000
Community Wildfire Protection Plans 75% SWPI / 25% Local Government (CWPP) and Updates FFM Prescription Development 75% SWPI / 25% Local Government
FFM Operational Fuel Treatments 90% SWPI / 10% Local Government
In comparison to other regional districts (RDs) in the Province, the SLRD is one of the more active subscribers to the SWPI program, having consistently been engaged with projects across the full FFM spectrum for the past seven years. However, there are a number of issues apparent with the SWPI. Since first engaging with the SWPI in 2010, the SLRD Emergency Program has noted: Increasingly complex reporting requirements Increased time from project completion/final report submission to reimbursement of local government funds Annual or semi-annual changes to the GIS data requirements of SWPI-funded projects Production of GIS data and threat-assessment data that is of limited or no use to local authorities Requirements to update submitted data long after the project has closed
1 The SLRD has not applied for SWPI funding in the “Demonstration Project” category, as this category of project is of limited utility in mitigating wildfire threat to communities.
Page 35 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... – 2 –
FFM data submitted to the SWPI program is not being incorporated in the data made available to the BC Wildfire Service (BCWFS) crews responding to wildfires The SLRD Emergency Program has informally consulted with a number of other RDs to discuss their experiences with the SWPI; most RDs expressed a level of frustration with the program, and specifically with the project oversight required of RD staff with no technical FFM expertise. The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has spent considerable time detailing the issues encountered with the current SWPI, and has submitted a resolution to the Association of Kootenay and Boundary Local Governments (AKBLG) 2017 Annual General Meeting with the intention that the resolution then be forwarded to the 2017 UBCM AGM. In a white paper prepared by the RDEK Emergency Services Coordinator, an enumeration of SWPI- related activates required of the RD in administering the FFM program was put forward. The table2 below holds true for the SLRD: Prescription Phase Selection of proposed Treatment Area Approve as a Priority Project Thorough review of proposed area of treatment – including discussions with consultant, Forest District, BC Wildfire Service, other stakeholders Work with consultant on UBCM prescription application for scope of work and costs If and when grant funding is available, approval from Board to submit application and fund proposed budget (75% funded by UBCM, 25% by local authority) Submission of prescription application to UBCM Wait up to 6 months for approval - seasonal and other factors dictate efficiency If approved, ensure funding is included in financial plan as required to fund work Hire a consultant to complete the work. This requires an RFP Complete the prescription work (may only take a few days of work by the consultant) Submit completed prescription and Final Report to UBCM Await approval of Final Report from UBCM (approval times vary – sometimes up to 10 months) If Final Report is approved, payment of grant remitted to the RD Operational Treatment Phase When further SWPI grant funding is available, request approval from Board to submit new UBCM application and for funding of proposed operational budget (90% funded by UBCM, 10% funded by RD) Prepare and submit UBCM application – may require support of a consultant to improve chance of a successful application Wait for application approval from UBCM (seasonal and other factors dictate efficiency – up to several months is not unusual) Develop and post RFP for project supervision or sole source to the consultant that created the prescription and assisted with the operational application Consultation and negotiations with land tenure holders, stakeholders, residents
Develop and post RFP’s for contractors to complete work – selection - approval

Communications program to ensure all affected property owners understand what is happening Operational work occurs. Depending on work, weather, prescription, contractors, other stakeholders, this can take from months to years to complete. Payment to consultant, contractors Submit final report to UBCM for approval and payment (depending on evaluation committee timelines, data change requirements, etc. can take several months)
The key issues with the current SWPI, as presented by the RDEK3 and echoed in discussions with other RDs engaged in the program, are: 1. UBCM/SWPI Process - The current UBCM/SWPI program has proven to be quite cumbersome in terms of:
. The dedication of RD staff time – even with a consultant engaged throughout the entire process, the RD Emergency Program is required to be engaged as the RD representative to facilitate all phases of these projects. The SWPI also requires time of the RD Board as well as Finance, Corporate Services, and Communications departments.
. The application / review / approval process – Even if all phases of a project go smoothly, it can easily take 1.5 - 3 years from start to finish, regardless of the size of area treated.
The UBCM review process for applications and final reporting can face significant delays for a number of reasons including, but not limited to:
the lack of availability of BCWFS review panel members and mapping technicians during busy fire seasons,
even the slightest alterations to prescriptions/operations can cause significant delay and a need for resubmissions,
extremely stringent map data protocols that have required multiple subsequent submissions of data.
2. Mandate and Land Tenure – the SWPI program places the burden of coordinating forest / wildfire management activities on Crown Land onto the local authority. The four points below outline why this approach may not be the most efficient:
The provincial government Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) has:
1. The mandate to protect the forests and surrounding communities from wildfire; 2. The expertise in their foresters and wildfire staff resources to assess and mitigate the risks;
3 Ibid, October 2016
Page 37 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... – 4 –
3. The appropriate relationships with the forest management and wildfire sectors to perform the work; and 4. The tenure or other control mechanism over Crown Land.
The above raises questions as to why this important prevention work is being tasked to local authorities who typically have no expertise in forest or wildfire management within their organization. In light of this fact, some RDs have chosen to not partake in any Crown Land fuel management activities.
The introduction in early 2017 of the Forest Enhancement Fund (FEF) - $235 million for forest enhancement activities, including FFM, available to local governments and industry, and administered by the Forest Enhancement Society of British Columbia (FESBC) - further complicates the FFM landscape. There is significant overlap between the SWPI and the FEF, including approval criteria in the FEF that reference SWPI requirements. Both programs include the requirement for a non-expert local government staffer to provide project oversight.
There is undoubtedly a public safety benefit for the SLRD in FFM activities. Field proofing during the 2016 Botanie Rd. fire in the Thompson-Nicola Regional District (TNRD) showed that areas treated through SWPI-funded programs had an impact on reducing fire behavior and protecting structures. However, the complexity of both the SWPI and FEF programs, and their increasing draw on SLRD staff time indicate that seeking efficiencies between both programs would benefit the overall conduct of FFM in the Province. The RDEK, in the attached “Framework for an alternative approach to wildfire fuel management”, presents a viable option for adjusting the stance of both the SWPI and FEF by creating an FEF-funded position within each MFLNRO Forest District, effectively removing the need for local government participation in FFM. From discussions with neighboring RDs, as well as with the FFM consultants used by SLRD to complete past projects, it is clear that an approach similar to the one suggested by RDEK would benefit FFM activities throughout the Province. FFM experts should provide the coordinated strategic prioritization of projects to assist the BCWFS in fire suppression activities, and to protect communities. Projects should be administered regionally by a subject-matter expert with the ability to contract and oversee FFM consultants and crews directly.

Information Report Ehh 680 001
Date January 20th, 2017 Author Travis Abbey, Emergency Services Coordinator Subject A framework for an alternative approach to wildfire fuel management
BACKGROUND
This document outlines a rough framework of a potential alternative approach to achieving the objectives of wildfire risk reduction in the RDEK. It is intended to be a supplement to the RDEK Board Resolution submitted to the AKBLG 2017 Annual General Meeting, which recommends a program review of the current UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI).
CONCEPT OVERVIEW
An alternate program framework would transfer the regional coordination and leadership of wildfire fuel management activities to a staff or contract position, funded by the newly created Forest Enhancement Society (FES) and/or SWPI.
Position function:
• Reports to the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, who possesses the forest management expertise and jurisdiction over Crown land, but currently isn’t staffed to lead this function.
• Is a project management specialist with a background in all aspects of fuel management, and is preferably a Registered Professional Forester (RPF).
• Acts as the regional representative for all fuel management throughout the Regional District / Rocky Mountain Forest District jurisdiction (or other area of the Province), inclusive of all areas adjacent to municipalities and First Nations reserves.
• Provides leadership to the existing fuel management / ecosystem restoration ‘Working Group’ that consists of representatives from the RDEK, Forest District, Rocky Mountain Trench Natural Resource Society, Ministry of Environment, BC Wildfire, BC Parks, etc. with the primary objectives of:
o assessing the current needs for fuel management (using CWPPs etc) o selection of the highest priority projects o determining the most expedient and cost effective way to treat the areas o sourcing and obtaining funding and/or leveraging funding sources o managing of all funds o coordination of licensees, stakeholders and project managers to complete the work
Page 1 of 2 Page 39 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... Information Report January 20th, 2017 A framework for an alternative approach to wildfire fuel management Ehh 680 001
Keys to the success of this approach:
1. FES – Funds the position. May also contribute to prescription and operational treatment funding.
2. UBCM / Province of BC – Establishes an alternate funding model that would see UBCM/SWPI provide an annual fixed dollar amount for each region, managed by this position, allowing the best decisions to be made without the process and time constraints of individual funding applications, to achieve maximum progress.
3. Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations – Houses the individual hired to perform the lead role, funded by FES/SWPI, supported by other district staff. All field work (prescriptions, project management and supervision) would continue to be outsourced to the consulting industry, licensees, BCTS, other ministries etc., as it is currently.
Benefits of this approach:
1. Elimination of several steps in the process that are not providing added value.
2. Minimized UBCM/SWPI bureaucracy with no further need for the UBCM / BC Wildfire review panel or individual applications to be sent through UBCM. Regional strategies and operational decisions would be made through the Working Group based on priority, availability of resources, and cost/benefit.
3. The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations is enabled to take a lead role with a full time person assigned to the coordination of the work.
4. All local governments and First Nations that typically don’t staff wildfire or forest management expertise would have their adjacent Crown land wildfire concerns in the queue, being addressed by a single entity, instead of each community applying for funding separately.
5. A truly regional, but streamlined and coordinated approach to fuel management.
CONCLUSION
The RDEK does not question the importance behind fuel management as a wildfire risk reduction methodology. The concern is the ineffectiveness and cumbersome nature of the current funding process provided by the Province through UBCM. It is hoped the alternate approach presented in this document can provide a framework for change.

1. OVERVIEW
Members of the Board have asked for an update on wildfire protection initiatives.
2. BACKGROUND
The Union of BC Municipalities (UBCM) administers a wildfire prevention program titled the “Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative (SWPI)” to assist communities in addressing and mitigating wildfire risk on Crown Lands. SWPI provides municipalities, regional districts and first nations the opportunity to apply for grant funding through UBCM to:
o create Community Wildfire Protection Plans (CWPP) – to identify/quantify the wildfire threat in the RDEK’s rural areas
o develop Fuel Management Prescriptions – the technical plan of how to modify the forested area to reduce the threat
o perform Operational Fuel Management Treatments – carrying out the fuel management prescriptions which typically involves a combination of hand treatments (using chainsaws and pruners, pile burning) and mechanical treatments (traditional logging equipment -feller bunchers, skidders etc)
o facilitate the FireSmart Community Recognition Program – in 2015 UBCM had an initiative aimed at supporting local neighbourhoods to become recognized by FireSmart Canada for their efforts in wildfire risk reduction and it may be reinitiated in 2017.
3. PAST AND CURRENT PROJECTS
To date, the RDEK, through the Electoral Area Administration service has led the following activities related to wildfire prevention:
o 2012 – RDEK Community Wildfire Protection Plan (CWPP)
. Completed in the spring of 2012, this document compiles a variety of factors to provide a high level overview of wildfire risk in the entire rural geography of the regional district.
. This document also provides the basis for subsequent funding applications to the SWPI for prescriptions and operational treatments.
Page 1 of 5 Page 43 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... RDEK Wildfire Prevention / Fuel Management Update Oct 31, 2016 Ehh 680 001
. The 2012 CWPP identified 65 “Priority 1” and 41 “Priority 2” Treatment Areas of various size and complexity, throughout the six electoral areas, all of which reside on Crown Land.
. Operational Treatment areas identified in the CWPP can be completed by a variety of different agencies such as the BC Wildfire Service, Ministry of Environment, Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Trench Society etc.
o 2013-2016 – Baynes Lake Prescriptions and Operational Treatment (Area B)
. Broken into two sections (“Bay 2” and “Bay 3”), this project was supervised by a Forest Management consultant and overseen by the RDEK.
. Following a variety of project complications, the operational treatments were completed in the spring of 2016.
o 2014-2016 – Prescriptions for Westview and Gold Creek (Area C) and Panorama Resort (Area F)
. A roughly 50 Hectare unit surrounding the Westview subdivision south of Cranbrook had a Fuel Management Prescription completed in 2015.
. A prescription was completed for a 145 Hectare unit in the Gold Creek area southeast of Cranbrook in 2015. This prescription has been passed to the Rocky Mountain Forest District for their pursuit of alternative funding options and completion of work. The Forest District recently submitted this project as part of a regional application to the Forest Enhancement Society (FES), with the intent that if the project funding was approved, it would be managed by the Forest District.
. The RDEK submitted a Prescription application on behalf of Panorama Resort with the agreement that Panorama would be responsible for all management and costs associated with the project. This prescription application was approved in July 2016 after three separate submissions.
o 2016 – Westview Operational Treatment (Area C)
. UBCM approved a SWPI Operational Treatment application to provide $262,058 towards the completion of the operational component of the ‘Westview 1’ project.
. The Rocky Mountain Natural Resource Trench Society has been retained to provide project management services to the RDEK for the two-phase Westview 1 project.
. A presentation at the Area C Town Hall meeting and an on-site public information session have been performed to date, advising the community of the pending work to be initiated.
. BC Timber Sales (Provincial government – Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations – (FLNRO)) is leading the portion of the project outside a 100m buffer from the residences where more aggressive work will be undertaken. This work is expected to begin in the fall of 2016 and will need to be followed up with post-harvesting cleanup in “Phase 2” of the SWPI operational treatment.
Page 2 of 5 Page 44 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... RDEK Wildfire Prevention / Fuel Management Update Oct 31, 2016 Ehh 680 001
. The area within the 100m buffer will be treated by hand and will be undertaken by the successful proponent following the RDEK call for proposals which has recently been completed. This work is also slated for the fall of 2016 and is considered “Phase 1”.
o Ongoing - FireSmart Education
. The RDEK Fire Service has participated in coordination of FireSmart initiatives in conjunction with the BC Wildfire Service.
4. CURRENT STRATEGY
Considering the multi-year complications with the Baynes Lake project and the amount of staff time fuel management activities involve, the RDEK is taking a “one-at-a-time” approach to these projects in 2016.
. Currently the Strategic Priorities for 2015/2016 includes 1) completion of the Baynes Lake project, 2) receiving final payment for the Westview and Gold Creek prescriptions, and 3) performance of operational work on Westview 1. The first two have been completed, with the Westview project expected to continue well into the fall of 2017.
. Participation in the FireSmart program will continue to be only dissemination of information by the RDEK Emergency Program and/or RDEK Fire Services personnel.
. Support will continue for outside agency fuel management projects that align with the RDEK CWPP.
. The Forest Enhancement Society of BC (FES) has recently been created as a non-government mechanism to achieve a variety of forest health and management issues; one of which being prevention and mitigation of wildfire risk. FES is currently receiving fuel management project applications submitted by the province’s Forest Districts. This model is an example of a program that could provide the local authority ‘voice of support’ without actual operational involvement by the RDEK.
5. ISSUES TO DATE
o UBCM/SWPI Process - The current UBCM/SWPI program has proven to be quite cumbersome in terms of:
. The dedication of RDEK staff time – even with a consultant engaged throughout the entire process, the Emergency Services Coordinator is required to be engaged as the RDEK representative to facilitate all phases of these projects. This time is exclusive of that required by the RDEK Board as well as RDEK Finance, Corporate Services and Communications. See page 5 for a rough timeline related to the SWPI program.
A current estimate of annual Emergency Services Coordinator hours required for this engagement is roughly ten (10) percent.
Page 3 of 5 Page 45 of 100 Information Report - UBCM Strategic Wildfire Prevention Init... RDEK Wildfire Prevention / Fuel Management Update Oct 31, 2016 Ehh 680 001
. The application / review / approval process – Even if all phases of a project go smoothly, it can easily take 1.5 - 3 years from start to finish, regardless of the size of area treated. See Page 5 of this document for an outline of the steps and rough timelines associated with all facets of the SWPI program.
The UBCM review process for applications and final reporting can face significant delays for a number of reasons including, but not limited to:
a) the lack of availability of BC Wildfire review panel members and mapping technicians during busy fire seasons,
b) even the slightest alterations to prescriptions/operations can cause significant delay and a need for resubmissions,
c) extremely stringent map data protocols that have required multiple subsequent submissions of data.
o Mandate and Land Tenure – simply put, the SWPI program places the burden of coordinating forest / wildfire management activities on Crown Land onto the local authority. The four points below outline why this approach may not be the most efficient:
The provincial government Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) has:
1. the mandate to protect the forests and surrounding communities from wildfire, 2. the expertise in their foresters and wildfire staff resources to assess and mitigate the risks, 3. the appropriate relationships with the forest management and wildfire sectors to perform the work, and most importantly, 4. the tenure or other control mechanism over Crown Land.
The above raises questions as to why this important prevention work is being tasked to local authorities who typically have no expertise in forest or wildfire management within their organization. In fact, some Regional Districts have chosen to not partake in any Crown Land fuel management activities whatsoever. An example of this stance is the one taken by the Regional District of Kootenay Boundary.
6. THE FUTURE OF FUEL MANAGEMENT IN THE RDEK
Moving forward, the RDEK Board of Directors may want to consider to what extent the RDEK will be involved in fire prevention / fuel management activities.

UBCM / SWPI Fuel Management Program A summary of steps and associated timelines
The following table outlines the current process involved in the Strategic Wildfire Prevention Initiative overseen by UBCM.
Prescription Phase Selection of proposed Treatment Area Approve as a Priority Project Thorough review of proposed area of treatment – including discussions with consultant, Forest District, BC Wildfire Service, other stakeholders Work with consultant on UBCM prescription application for scope of work and costs If and when grant funding is available, approval from Board to submit application and fund proposed budget (75% funded by UBCM, 25% by local authority) Submission of prescription application to UBCM Wait up to 6 months for approval - seasonal and other factors dictate efficiency (Westview and Gold Creek Prescriptions took 5.5 months in 2014 to be approved) If approved, ensure funding is included in financial plan as required to fund work Hire a consultant to complete the work. This usually requires an RFP. Complete the prescription work (may only take a few days of work by the consultant) Submit completed prescription and Final Report to UBCM Await approval of Final Report from UBCM (Westview prescription took almost a year to be approved, Gold Creek took 10 months) If Final Report is approved, payment of grant remitted to the RDEK. Operational Treatment Phase When further SWPI grant funding is available, request approval from Board to submit new UBCM application and for funding of proposed operational budget (90% funded by UBCM, 10% funded by RDEK) Prepare and submit UBCM application – may require support of a consultant to improve chance of a successful application. Wait for application approval from UBCM (seasonal and other factors dictate efficiency – Westview application took 2 months) Develop and post RFP for project supervision or sole source to the consultant that created the prescription and assisted with the operational application Consultation and negotiations with land tenure holders, stakeholders, residents
Develop and post RFP’s for contractors to complete work – selection - approval
Communications program to ensure all affected property owners understand what is happening Operational work occurs. Depending on work, weather, prescription, contractors, other stakeholders, this can take from months to years to complete. Payment to consultant, contractors Submit final report to UBCM for approval and payment

Change of Scope – Pemberton North Water Metering Project
Date of Meetings: EAD Committee / Regular Board Meeting – April 5/19, 2016
Recommendation:
THAT a change in scope be requested from the administering organizations for the Pemberton North Metering Project from individual residential meters to zone meters as stated in the scope of work for the two grants received for this project – The Green Municipal Fund grant and the Infrastructure 150 grant.
Attachments: None.
Key Information:
In 2015, Staff approached the Board of Directors with a plan to apply for a Green Municipal Fund grant and an Infrastructure Planning grant to investigate installing water meters in the Pemberton North Water System (PNWS) and the following resolutions were made:
June 24, 2015 THAT water metering for the Pemberton North Water System be put forward as a project for a feasibility study funded by the Green Municipal Fund and managed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities, with the SLRD’s 50% contribution estimated at $12,800 coming from the Cost Centre #2707 Pemberton North Water Operational Surplus Reserve;
July 22, 2015 THAT staff submit a grant application to the Infrastructure Planning Grant Program (“IPGP”) for funding to construct a feasibility study to implement water metering for the Pemberton North Water System; and
THAT the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District’s contribution to the feasibility study, if the grant application is successful, come from the Cost Centre #2702 (Pemberton North Water) Operation Surplus Reserve.
The idea was to use the funding to determine the appropriate type of meters and installation methodology (curb versus in home installation), determine a fair rate system
Page 48 of 100 Request for Decision - Change of Scope - Pemberton North Wat... Request for Direction
Change of Scope – Pemberton North Water
Metering Project
for volumetric charges and develop a Community Based Social Marketing campaign to target high volume users. At the time of the report, the average daily consumption in liters per capita (based on 2.6 people per dwelling and 156 connections, for the time period of 2010 - 2014), was 923 lcd. At the time, the BC average was 425 lcd.
The Green Municipal Fund is a matching funds grant program managed by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities. One intention of this fund is to support sustainable community development through feasibility studies which will evolve into capital projects in the future. The purpose of a feasibility study under this program is to assess the technical and financial feasibility, as well as the environmental, social and economic impacts of a potential local government environmental project. Successful applications for feasibility funding, for which applications are accepted and evaluated year round, are awarded based on the merits of the application; as such, there is no competition against other applications for limited funding.
In order to be an eligible and successful application, the project must respond to a local government need and contribute to cleaner air, water or soil, or reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The study must examine the requirements and outcomes of a specific project and detail a recommended course of action.
The Community Based Social Marketing (CBSM) campaign was not part of the original grant request report to the Board, instead, it came about through the application process with the Federation of Canadian Municipalities (FCM) – the administrators of the Green Municipal Fund. The application process took over a year, as the application was sent back to staff for clarification and adjustments in scope a number of times. Initially, the application did not receive a very positive response from FCM because a feasibility study on water metering alone does not meet the requirement of a strong platform to address high water consumption. Following a number of conversations with FCM, and using their feedback, a successful application, based on using CBSM was approved in the late fall of 2016 for a sum of $16,850.
Prior to receiving the FCM grant, in 2015 staff also applied for an Infrastructure Planning Grant for this project, and were successful with the application. This grant is administered by the BC Provincial Government and is for $10,000; its purpose is to assist local governments in developing sustainable infrastructure that will improve public health and safety, protect the natural environment and strengthen local and regional economies.
The scope for both approved grants is as follows:
2 Page 49 of 100 Request for Decision - Change of Scope - Pemberton North Wat... Request for Direction
Change of Scope – Pemberton North Water
Metering Project
• Estimating the potential water savings to be gained through the implementation of a water metering program; • Taking into account the estimated potential water savings, assessing the financial, environmental, social and operational costs and benefits of water metering; • Based on that assessment, reviewing options and making recommendations regarding: o The most appropriate type of metering program (if any); o Equipment selection; o Implementation timing; o Rate structure; o Data collection and billing system; o Community-based social marketing tools to promote appropriate behaviour change; o Reducing unbillable water losses; o Budgetary capital cost estimates; and o Potential funding opportunities (e.g. taxation, grant funding, borrowing).
With the expected outcomes being: • Increased public awareness of water use and an increased conservation ethic; • Reduced customer demand for water; • Equity among water users; • Reduced water loss through leak detection and improved efficiencies; and • Reduced operating costs for water service delivery.
The estimated budget for this project is $37,860, broken out as follows:
Contributor Cost Green Municipal Fund $16,850 Infrastructure 150 Grant $10,000 Contribution from CC2702 – Pemberton North Water $11,010 Total $37,860
Since the report in May 2015, where staff requested direction on applying for the FCM grant, the water consumption in the Pemberton North Water System has reduced considerably. The average daily demand per capita for 2016 was 686 lcd, down 237 lcd from 923 lcd, which is a reduction of 96 m3 per day for the system, or 35,086 m3 per year. Also at the time of the report, the losses in the system due to leaks was estimated
3 Page 50 of 100 Request for Decision - Change of Scope - Pemberton North Wat... Request for Direction
Change of Scope – Pemberton North Water
Metering Project
at 2 l/s (63,000 m3/year), or 47% of the total consumption, based on a zone by zone leak detection program undertaken by staff in 2014.
The SLRD has implemented watering restrictions to reduce summer consumption and the peak usage has reduced. However, locating and repairing leaks in the PNWS system has been the largest contributor to the reduced water consumption. A similar drop in water consumption in the winter months, when there are no watering restrictions enforced, provides proof of this. Considering the number of repairs performed on the system in the last few years, the amount of loss due to leaks is possibly closer to the generally accepted value of 20% or 20,400 m3 per year. Using that number, the per capita consumption is reduced to 521 lcd. Given the mix of acreages, hobby farms, old and new homes, this consumption rate is not excessive and likely a targeted approach through CBSM would have minimal impact on reducing water consumption.
A better approach to reducing consumption by the Pemberton North Water System is to find and repair the leaks that are potentially 20% or more. To do this, the installation of zone meters makes more sense at this point in time. When undertaking the zone- by-zone leak detection program, a staff member was required to isolate sections of the Pemberton North Water System from midnight to 6 a.m. During this investigation, staff was alerted to a section of the PNWS that showed high flows when the majority of the residents were not using water (the equipment was so sensitive that a flushing of a single toilet was measurable) and a leak was found. However, due to the amount of time required and the fact that only the zone being measured had water during the test, this is not an efficient way to collect data. Installing zone meters would allow for easy tracking of flows, along with the ability to isolate sections within a zone with minimal impact to other zones.
The zone meters are useful to identify zones that have higher per capita usage above the suspected loss due to leaks. In this manner, some form of CBSM could be employed to encourage less use by those residents in a certain zone.
Changing the scope of the project from individual meters to zone meters is a significant deviation from what was proposed in both grant applications. The likelihood of losing the FCM grant is fairly certain as the focus of the project is now more on the infrastructure than on the CBSM – which was the direction that FCM encouraged us to follow. However, with the scope change, the project will be cheaper, and the FCM grant will not be necessary.
4 Page 51 of 100 Request for Decision - Change of Scope - Pemberton North Wat... Request for Direction
Change of Scope – Pemberton North Water
Metering Project
There is a possibility that the Infrastructure 150 grant would allow for the scope change, as that grant is more about infrastructure than the CBSM. Under the Infrastructure 150 grant, the SLRD contribution is $5,000 for a $10,000 grant. A consultant will be hired to determine the best locations for the water meter chambers, and supply drawings for the installation of the meters. The Solid Waste Communications Coordinator, who has training in CBSM, can undertake the corresponding CBSM component. As $11,010 was allocated to this project for 2017 from CC2702 for the SLRD share, the extra staff time to develop in-house CBSM programming can be accommodated within the operating budget. Currently, there is an allocation of 100 hours in the SW Communication Coordinators work plan for initiatives that arise in 2017 and are approved by the Board (these hours will be billed to the PNWS cost centre).
If the Infrastructure 150 scope change is unsuccessful, then for $15,000 – an increase of $3,990 over the already allocated $11,010, staff can undertake the project primarily in house, with just a peer review of the design drawings needing to be outsourced; though with the large sewer projects coming, this project may need to be deferred until 2018.
Options:
1) Approve the scope change for the project and look at installing zone meters instead of individual meters. Staff will request a scope change for the Infrastructure Planning Grant and the Green Municipal Grant and will proceed as detailed in this report depending on the outcome of this request. 2) Defer this project until 2018, but in the interim, staff will perform a new zone-by- zone leak detection program with the intent to locate leaks. This option will require staff to inform both Infrastructure BC and the FCM that the grants will not be used. This option will be funded solely from the PNWS operating budget as there will be no grant funding to offset. 3) Proceed with the project as originally outlined in the grant applications. 4) Other option(s), as identified by the Board. Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred option as this makes more sense for the Pemberton North Water System and the current water usage regime than versus individual meters.
Follow-Up Action & Communications Plan: Upon confirmation of a resolution, staff will seek qualified professionals to undertake the study. The process will be through an RFP process if option 3 is chosen as required in the SLRD Purchasing Policy.

Meeting Dates: April 5/April 19, 2017
To: SLRD Electoral Area Directors/SLRD Board
Applicant: Continental Pole Ltd., Drew Oberson (Owner)
Location: SLRD Electoral Area C – Mt. Currie
Legal Descriptions: PID 007-026-811 (Lot A, District Lot 209 Lillooet District Plan 22218)
OCP Designation: Zoning: ALR Status: Development Permit Rural Residential - Resource Industrial N/A Areas: Electoral Area C OCP (I2) N/A Bylaw No. 689, 1999 Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT staff be directed to proceed with the zoning amendment process for the Continental Pole zoning amendment application for Lot A, District Lot 209, 2085 Highway 99.
KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS:
The SLRD received a zoning amendment application for Lot A, District Lot 209, 2085 Highway 99. The property is currently zoned Resource Industrial (I2) in Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw 765, 2002. The proposed zoning amendment is to facilitate subdivision and would see a portion of the property rezoned to a new Resource Industrial (I3) Zone thereby reducing the minimum parcel size to 0.5 hectares. The permitted uses and regulations would be unaffected.
SLRD Staff is seeking permission from the Board in order to proceed with the Continental Pole zoning amendment application.
RELEVANT POLICIES: Electoral Area C Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 689, 1999 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002
BACKGROUND:
SLRD Staff have not yet drafted any bylaw amendments for this application. It is being brought to the Board for review to determine if there is support for the zoning amendment that will reduce the minimum parcel size to a half hectare (0.5 ha) to facilitate the subdivision of Lot A, District Lot
Page 54 of 100 Request for Decision - Continental Pole Zoning Amendment App... REQUEST FOR DECISION Continental Pole Zoning Amendment Application – 2085 Highway 99, Area C Permission to Proceed
209, 2085 Highway 99. The proposed subdivision would enable the property owner to sell a portion of the land to a purchaser who wishes to start a water bottling plant on the land.
The property is ~3.8 hectares in size. Under the current Resource Industrial 2 (I2) zoning the minimum parcel size is 1 hectare. The proposed zoning amendment would reduce the minimum parcel size on a ~0.607 ha portion of the parcel to 0.5 hectares; the remainder of the parcel would continue to be zoned I2. Appendix A includes the proposed subdivision plan and shows the new parcel that is proposed to be rezoned as “Lot 2”.
ANALYSIS:
Electoral Area C Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 689, 1999 Review SLRD staff have conducted an initial review of the zoning amendment application and have not identified any concerns that relate to policies specific to this application. The SLRD Electoral Area C OCP Bylaw No. 689, 1999 directs new industrial development to the Village of Pemberton Industrial Park; however, existing zoned industrial land uses are supported. No new industrial land is being created; proposed rezoning involves land that is currently zoned industrial.
Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002 The I2 zoning states the minimum parcel area for subdivision shall be one hectare. The zoning amendment application is for a site-specific rezoning which would reduce the minimum parcel size on a portion of Lot A, District Lot 209, thereby facilitating the desired subdivision. Permitted uses in the proposed I3 zone would be limited to Light Industrial. All other aspects of the zoning would remain unaffected.
Additionally, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MoTI) has additional requirements (geotechnical, water, septic) that they can request at the subdivision approval stage, and there will be site/building specific requirements at the Building Permit stage. A referral will be made to MoTI after first reading of any zoning amendment bylaw and any other requirements will be identified for SLRD staff at that time.
REGIONAL IMPACT ANALYSIS: Although the SLRD Electoral Area C OCP Bylaw No. 689, 1999 directs new industrial development to the Village of Pemberton Industrial Park, existing zoned industrial land uses are supported. MOTI, as the subdivision approving authority, will ultimately determine the suitability for subdivision.
OPTIONS:
Option 1 Direct SLRD Staff to proceed with the zoning amendment application process and to draft a zoning amendment bylaw.
Option 2 Refer the application back to SLRD Staff for more information, or revision.

REQUEST FOR DECISION WedgeWoods Estates Sales Centre Zoning Amendment Application – Area C Permission to Proceed
Meeting Dates: April 5/April 19, 2017
To: SLRD Electoral Area Directors/SLRD Board
Applicant: 28165 Yukon Inc.
Location: SLRD Electoral Area C – WedgeWoods Estates
Legal Descriptions: PID 027-752-330 (Lot A, District Lot 2247 Group 1 NWD Plan BCP39086 Except Phase One Strata Plan BCS3916)
OCP Designation: Zoning: ALR Status: Development Permit Rural Residential - Comprehensive N/A Areas: Electoral Area C OCP Development – N/A Bylaw No. 689, 1999 Green River Estates Residential (CDGRE) Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT staff be directed to proceed with the zoning amendment process for the WedgeWoods Estates Sales Centre zoning amendment application for Lot A, District 2247 (PID 027-752-330).
KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS:
The SLRD received a zoning amendment application for Lot A, District Lot 2247, GP 1, NWD, Plan BCP39086 to add sales centre as a permitted use under the CDGRE zone in Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002. There is an existing sales building located on the strata common property that was built under a Temporary Use Permit (TUP). This TUP cannot be renewed, thus the continued use requires a zoning amendment.
Proposed Zoning Amendment: To allow for a sales centre (within a building that currently exists) on the strata common property.
In addition to the sales centre piece, staff are proposing some minor text amendments which would add clarifying language to aspects of the CDGRE Zone that have contributed to confusion among the public and staff.
Page 58 of 100 Request for Decision - WedgeWoods Estates Sales Centre Zonin... REQUEST FOR DECISION WedgeWoods Estates Sales Centre Zoning Amendment Application – Area C Permission to Proceed SLRD Staff is seeking permission from the Board in order to proceed with the WedgeWoods Estates Sales Centre zoning amendment application.
RELEVANT POLICIES:
Electoral Area C Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 689, 1999 Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002
BACKGROUND:
SLRD Staff have not yet drafted any bylaw amendments for this application. It is being brought to the Board for review to determine if there is support for the zoning amendment that will allow for a sales centre as a permitted use on Lot A, District Lot 2247, GP 1, NWD, Plan BCP39086.
Housekeeping Text Amendments In addition to the sales centre amendment, staff are proposing some minor text amendments which would add clarifying language to aspects of the CDGRE Zone that have contributed to confusion among the public and staff.
ANALYSIS:
Proposed Amendments to Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002: Add sales centre as a permitted use under section 16.1 (1). Add a Floor Area requirement for the sales centre (maximum 160m2). Remove language under section 16.1 (2) (a) which outlines uses not permitted. Zoning bylaws generally list uses that are permitted; confusion is created by listing some uses that are not permitted, as there are many others that are not permitted as well. Move language under section 16.1 (2) (b) under 16.1 (1) Permitted Uses, as this section just lists additional uses that are permitted. Add clarifying language to the applicable zone sections, such as “the land on the east of Highway 99” and “the land on the west of Highway 99”. Amend name of zone from Comprehensive Development – Green River Estates to Comprehensive Development – WedgeWoods Estates, which is how the property is now known. Remove reference to bed and breakfast inn and bed and breakfast home and instead only use the term bed and breakfast. The bed and breakfast inn/home specifications are now irrelevant; bed and breakfast provisions are based on building code requirements.
The proposed amendments do not affect density, floor area, siting requirements or parcel coverage.
As the proposed amendment to allow for a sales centre is for an existing building located on the strata common property and was previously provided for under a TUP, SLRD staff do not have concerns with legitimizing this existing use at it will only be useful until the time that the various phases are sold. After the lots are sold, the property owner can convert the building to a single family dwelling through a building permit process. Further, the additional proposed text amendments are to add clarity to the zone and are recommended by staff.

Brew Creek Centre Zoning Amendment, Area D Permission to Proceed
Date of Meetings: EAD/Board Meeting – April 5/19, 2017
File No. 3360.20.100
Owner: 630706 BC Ltd. Applicant/Agent: Andrew Rose, Still Point Architecture Inc.
Location: Brew Creek, Electoral Area D
Legal description: THE FRACTIONAL EAST ½ OF THE EAST ½ OF THE NORTH EAST ¼ OF DISTRICT LOT 4101, GROUP 1, NWD.
OCP Zoning: ALR DP Area: Designation: Split Zoned: Status: Wildfire Protection Split Designated: RR3 (predominantly) No Riparian Protection Special Planning RR4 (small southeast Comprehensive Area corner) Community Watershed Protection
Recommendation:
THAT staff be directed to proceed with review of the Brew Creek Centre zoning amendment application.
Key Information:
The owner of the Brew Creek Centre has submitted an application to rezone the lot that abuts the south property line of the existing Brew Creek Centre lot. As part of the application to amend Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016 , the property owner is looking to:
rezone the new lot to the same CRC2 zone that applies to the main Brew Creek Centre parcel. consolidate both parcels into one larger lot through the subdivision process after the rezoning. relocate some of the existing and permitted uses in the CRC2 zone on the main Brew Creek Centre parcel to the new southern lot.
Note that no new uses are proposed nor is any increase to the number of permitted guest beds, accommodation, or employee housing proposed.
Page 61 of 100 Request for Decision - Brew Creek Centre Zoning Amendment, A... Request for Decision - Brew Creek Centre Zoning Amendment, Area D Permission to Proceed
The proposed uses that would be relocated are: A limited portion (~23 beds) of the permitted maximum of 50 guest beds Four of the five permitted employee housing units Parking and accessory uses
The main Brew Creek Centre parcel is ~13 acres (5.26 ha) and the subject property (southern lot) is ~6.5 acres (2.63 ha). Once consolidated the new larger parcel would be ~19.5 acres (7.89 ha). Despite eventual creation of a larger parcel, the CRC2 zone would still only permit a maximum of 50 guest beds as it does currently.
Relevant Polices: Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Regional Growth Strategy Bylaw No. 1062, 2008 Electoral Area D Official Community Plan Bylaw No. 1135-2013 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016
Analysis:
The portion of the subject property that is proposed for the relocation of currently permitted uses under the CRC2 zone is the northwestern area and is currently zoned RR3 and RR4 (Serviced Residential). There is a BC Hydro right of way running through the middle of the lot. That portion of the parcel along with the small remaining southeastern corner falls within the Area D OCP’s Community Watershed Protection designation.
The proposed area for relocation of development is outside of that Community Watershed Protection designation and falls within the Special Planning Area. The Special Planning Area designation is intended to acknowledge the RGS designation of Serviced Residential areas beyond the current extent of the Black Tusk Village and Pinecrest Estates communities. It is a designation that it seeks to recognize the existing development in the area, and will consider new development if it is compact and efficient while protecting and maintaining the existing rural character.
The property owners are seeking to free up space on the main parcel and shift a large portion of the parking spaces south along with four employee housing units. A new building for commercial lodging would be located partly on the current boundary between the lots, which would eventually be dissolved. This shift would allow a better fit for the existing and undeveloped uses. The new guest building would be kept close to the main lodge area.
The Regional Growth Strategy designates the Brew Creek Centre property, and the proposed development area of the southern subject property as Serviced Residential. The portion of the subject property that is covered by the BC Hydro right of way and the remaining eastern portion are designated Non-Settlement Area.
As part of the revised CRC2 zone that would apply to both parcels, staff will consider provisions to limit the siting of the relocated land uses within that portion of the subject property west of the BC Hydro right of way as shown on the proposed site plan attached as Appendix 1. This would ensure that the development remains in the RGS Serviced Residential area and outside the OCP Watershed Protection area.
Page 62 of 100 Request for Decision - Brew Creek Centre Zoning Amendment, A... Request for Decision - Brew Creek Centre Zoning Amendment, Area D Permission to Proceed
Regional Considerations: None. Application affects Electoral Area D only and will not result in the expansion of the activities allowed on the site.
Options:
(1) Direct staff to develop a zoning amendment bylaw to be brought back to the Board as per the proposed rezoning application.
(2) Refer back to staff for more information prior to developing a zoning amendment bylaw.
(3) Refuse the application.
Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred option. The application is primarily intended to facilitate both the relocation of some of the currently permitted uses in the CRC2 zone that applies to the Brew Creek Centre lot to the newly acquired southern lot and the consolidation of the two lots into one larger parcel.
Follow-Up Action & Communications Plan: If approved by the Board, proceed with development of a zoning amendment bylaw.

File No. 3360.20.97
Owner: Crown Land (Province) / Tenure Holder: Black Tusk Helicopters Inc. Applicant/Agent: Cascade Environmental Resource Group
Location: Echo Lake, Electoral Area D
Legal description: THAT PARCEL OR TRACT OF LAND IN THE VICINITY OF MOUNT MURCHISON, GROUP 1, NWD.
OCP Zoning: ALR DP Area: Designation: RR4 (Rural Resource Status: Wildfire Protection Resource 4) No RAR Management Comprehensive
RECOMMENDATIONS:
THAT staff be directed to proceed with review of the Black Tusk Helicopter zoning amendment application for Echo Lake.
KEY INFORMATION:
Black Tusk Helicopters (BTH), which operates a commercial recreational tenure on Crown land in Electoral Area D, has submitted an application for rezoning. The subject area for the rezoning is less than 0.2 ha (~0.165 ha): the Echo Lake satellite camp in the Red Tusk zone of BTH’s Crown Land tenure.
The existing satellite camp consists of a helipad and camping area. The rezoning application proposes: a cabin primarily for BTH’s commercial use though still available to the public for overnight stays and as an emergency shelter the cabin would have a maximum gross floor area (GFA) of ~150 m2 which would contain o two bathrooms o lower level with one bunkroom that sleeps 10 people with a small common area (~45 – 50 m2) o upper level with kitchen, foyer, lounge, and deck (~100 – 105 m2) two camping pads as no formal campsites currently exist the cabin and decks are all outside the 30 m riparian assessment area (RAA)
Page 65 of 100 Request for Decision - Black Tusk Helicopters Zoning Amendme... REQUEST FOR DECISION 170405_BTH_Rezoning_Report.docx
The applicant is basing their proposal on their 2013 management plan that has been approved by the Province. The Red Tusk zone of BTH’s tenure: is used for winter and summer activities – heli-skiing/boarding, and heli- hiking/biking/fishing. requires a boat, helicopter or plane to access the area with the exception of Mount Sedgewick. has hiking trails to Henrietta and Echo Lakes.

BTH had previously submitted a number of rezoning applications for this area starting back in 2006. 2006 application for a 4 ha parcel of land with a 3 storey, 4 bedroom, 2,365 ft2 building o The SLRD determined that the building was too large and did not comply with the draft Sea to Sky LRMP (“LRMP”). In December 2006 the SLRD Board determined that the application was inconsistent with the LRMP. 2007 application with revised plans. o This application was rejected due to the similarity of the revised plans with the original plans from 2006. 2008 application that changed the building to a 2 storey, 1,587 ft2 building that would accommodate 12 people still on the same 4 ha parcel of land o The footprint of the building remained the same as the 2007 version, but was reduced in height and gross floor area. o There was an ongoing issue regarding whether the proposed building constituted a cabin or a lodge as the LRMP has certain prohibitions for the area that Echo Lake falls within. There was correspondence between the SLRD and the Province on the language in the LRMP. o The result was that the LRMP does not permit a commercial backcountry lodge at Echo lake, however, it does not specifically exclude a small cabin with accommodation for up to 12 people for either commercial or public use. o The LRMP makes the distinction between commercial lodges (more than 12 people) and commercial cabins (less than or equal to 12 people). o This application was put on hold. 2009 application was submitted in October following on from the previous application that was put on hold. o The application was presented to the SLRD Board in December. o At that time BTH was renewing its Licence of Occupation with the Province and revising their management plan. o The SLRD received correspondence from the Squamish Nation in early 2010 regarding their concerns with the proposal and the Provincial tenure renewals. o The SLRD Board resolved to defer the application for a two month period at the March 2010 meeting. o No further progress was made by BTH on the application and it lapsed.

ANALYSIS:
Appendices 1 and 2 provide an overview of the site location and aerial view of Echo Lake respectively. The applicant indicates that there are no existing wells, and no proposed wells. Any additional water would require a water licence. There would be a water reservoir of approx. 2,500 L located in the attic of the cabin. Water would then be gravity fed from that attic reservoir, and greywater collected in buckets under the sinks.
The application proposes that all waste (garbage, recycling, organic) and residual wastewater will be flown back to Squamish. No septic system planned - a composting toilet will be used at the site.
The SLRD will be following up with the Vancouver Coastal Heath Authority on the proposed water, wastewater and waste approaches. To address any wildlife management/interaction concerns, the SLRD can use guidelines in the Comprehensive Development Permit Area (DPA) in the Area D OCP as it includes site design, landscaping, and solid waste guidelines.
While the proposed development is outside the 30 m riparian assessment area, the Wildfire Protection DPA would be triggered by the proposed cabin. The proposed rezoning area is designated Non-Settlement Area in the Regional Growth Strategy. Backcountry Resorts without residential components are considered consistent with the Non-Settlement Area designation. The proposed commercial cabin with accommodation for 12 or fewer people could be considered consistent with a backcountry resort in the RGS as there is no residential component to it.
While the LRMP does not speak to the gross floor area of a commercial cabin, based on information from the previous files (see attached excerpt in Appendix 3), the LRMP does consider commercial cabins that accommodate less than or equal to 12 people as a permitted use in the Echo Lake area.
The size of the proposed cabin has been a long-standing issue identified in previous applications brought to the Board. The current proposed two storey 150 m2 cabin is approximately 3 m2 larger than the two storey cabin proposed in the 2008/09 application plans. Given concerns raised regarding previous application proposals to the Board may wish to specifically consider the gross floor area of the cabin and any limitations thereon.
If the zoning amendment bylaw receives first reading in a subsequent meeting, it would be referred to various provincial ministries and First Nations as part of the standard referral process.

Options:
(1) Direct SLRD Staff to proceed with the zoning amendment application process and to draft a zoning amendment bylaw.
(2) Refer the application back to SLRD Staff for more information, or revision.
(3) Reject the zoning amendment application.
Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred option as it would allow the SLRD to draft a new zoning amendment bylaw that will be referred to the Province, First Nations, and several SLRD member municipalities. It will allow the consideration of BTH’s new proposal based on the currently approved Crown tenure and management plan.
Regional Considerations: While the actual application area located within Area D is quite small, it is connected to the larger BTH commercial tenure area. BTH operates out of the District of Squamish throughout its tenure covering a large portion of Electoral Area D.

Temporary Use Permit #49 Office Trailer - Taicheng Development Group, Area D
Date of Meetings: EAD/Board Meetings – April 5/19, 2017
Recommendations:
THAT the Board approve Temporary Use Permit No. 49 to Taicheng Development Corporation for a three-year term in order to allow for an office trailer onsite, and that the permit be issued.
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer or Secretary be authorized to execute Temporary Use Permit #49.
Attachments: Appendix 1: Temporary Use Permit #49
Key Information:
The SLRD received a Temporary Use Permit (TUP) application proposing an office trailer on part of the Taicheng lands associated with the South Britannia development project for a period of three years. This proposed office trailer is already located at the site, and the TUP would legitimize the use as the current zoning of the property under Squamish-Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area D Zoning Bylaw No. 1350-2016 does not allow for an office as a permitted land use. The office is intended for the Taicheng company’s use; not for a sales office. The site location map attached as Appendix 1 shows the general location of the trailer on the property legally described as Lot A, Plan VAP21576, District Lot 1538, Group 1, Except Part Dedicated Road on Plan BCP28651 & District Lot 2001 and 7034.
The office trailer will be served by an existing well for potable water that is subject to approval by the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA). The existing well is located approximately 75 m from the office trailer. A 500 gallon (1,892.71 L) septic tank onsite will provide for sewage service and be pumped out every two weeks. This system is also subject to approval by the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority.
Parking will be provided onsite for users of the office. It is not intended or anticipated by the applicant that large numbers of public visitors will visit the office. However, visitor parking will be available in addition to staff parking. The site area for the trailer office includes sufficient space for a reasonable number of office and visitor parking spaces.
The neighbouring properties within 150 m were sent a notification, and the newspaper advertisements were placed in the Squamish Chief as per the Local Government Act requirements. Any responses from the public will be presented to the Board at the April 19, 2017 meeting.
Page 74 of 100 Request for Decision - Temporary Use Permit #49 - Office Tra... Request for Decision Temporary Use Permit #49 Office Trailer – Taicheng Development Corporation, Area D
Options:
(1) Approve and issue TUP #49 for three years.
(2) Do not approve or issue TUP#49 for three years, or approve it for one or two years only.
(3) Other, as determined by the Board.
Preferred Option: Option 1 is the preferred option as the proposed TUP is intended to provide an onsite office for the Taicheng company as they continue to work on the OCP and Zoning amendment application for the South Britannia project. The use will be discontinued and the office removed once development starts, if the Taicheng South Britannia OCP/rezoning application proceeds.
Regional Considerations: This is a temporary office use for the Taicheng Development Corporation as it works on its major rezoning application.

Director’s Report
Re Firesmart Funding
In discussions with Ryan Wainwright, it has become clear the division of the $10,000 allocation for Fire Smart funding between the 4 Electoral Areas is not particularly effective.
I’d like to propose that we circulate these funds on a per funding application basis and that Area A receive the full $10,000 in the next funding round.
The intention here is to enable the development of a pilot program to support private property owners in planning/executing Firesmarting their properties. The amount of $10,000 would allow a student a full 4 month summer where they could both deliver the support/planning services as well as preparing templates, advertising, etc. that could be used in following years in Area A as well as being passed on the other other Electoral Areas for their use.
Yours truly,
Dir. Debbie Demare Electoral Area Director, Area A.

Could this item of concern please be placed on the EAD Committee agenda for April 5th under Director's report.
At this time I will also being talking about the Bear Creek berm and how it effects the area of Seton/Shahalth.
I am expecting more information that may be forthcoming from the community also.

Hi Mickey
We are at Seton Portage Road. We met briefly at last year's meeting regarding the local fire department.
I just spoke to Janice at the SLRD about water coming down Cresta Road and flowing into our property. She suggested that I contact you and the MOT about this. Last fall during heavy rain the water was flowing right to our front door. We managed to create a gravel barrier to divert it. Sometime in the last couple of months there must have been another heavy water flow because on our return I see water flow damage to the yard.
Additionally, and separate from our issue, the ditch along Seton Portage Road has not been cleared since last fall's damage. The SLRD fixed the top of the berm but I am told that the ditches are not its responsibility.
Who should I contact at MOT?
Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Dear Sirs/Mesdames:
RE: Logging in the Burkholder Lake and Little Burkholder Lake Area
At the November 23 and 24, 2016 Squamish-Lillooet Regional District (SLRD) Board meeting, the SLRD Board provided its support to the concerns being raised by the Yalakom Community Forestry Committee regarding logging and roadbuilding around Burkholder Lake and Little Burkholder Lake.
By way of background, the area comprising these lakes is located above the Yalakom River in the Shulaps Range of the Coast Mountains and holds a special designation by the Ministry of Forestry, known as a “Use for the Recreation and Enjoyment of the Public”, or UREP. These lakes are unique within the Yalakom watershed in the sense that they are easily accessible from Lac La Mare via the Lac La Mare Trail, a well-established recreation trail. This area is known as an outstanding backcountry retreat having three designated campsites within a pristine wilderness setting. In addition to the UREP designation, the area is recognized as an important wildlife and biodiversity corridor as well being as the Yalakom watershed.
The SLRD and the Yalakom Community Forestry Committee are extremely concerned with Aspen Planers’ plans to start roadbuilding and logging activities within the UREP boundary, including up to the shores of Little Burkholder Lake. These activities will negatively impact the backcountry tourism value of the area. In addition, roadbuilding has the potential to lead to more intensive use of the area to the detriment of the wildlife habitat.
The SLRD requests that Aspen Planers and the logging industry meet with the Yalakom community and work to incorporate, into Aspen Planers’ plans for this area, solutions that address the concerns being raised about the proposed roadbuilding and logging activities around Burkholder Lake and Little Burkholder Lake. It should be noted that the SLRD has requested information from Aspen Planers with respect to their plans for the Burkholder Lakes area, however, such information has not been provided.
The SLRD also encourages the Province to play a role in assisting Aspen Planers and the Yalakom community to work towards an alternative forestry plan that is responsive to the concerns of the community. Also, the SLRD encourages the Province to ensure that community consultation, prior to any final planning, is an integral part of any forestry and logging plans undertaken in British Columbia.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Jack Crompton Board Chair, Squamish-Lillooet Regional District

Dear Mr. Manwaring, Here attached is a letter from the Yalakom Community Forestry Committee in answer to your response to the Squamish Lillooet Regional District's letter of support for our objections to logging in the UREP of Burkholder Lakes. Respectfully, Van Andruss for YCFC

Van Andruss, for the Yalakom, Community Forestry Committee
February 15, 2017 Rick Manwaring, RPF Assistant Deputy Minister South Area, Regional Operations Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations
Dear Mr. Manwaring.
First let me thank you for responding to the SLRD’s letter of support for the Yalakom Community Forestry Committee’s concerns regarding Aspen Planer’s logging plans at Burkholder Lakes (reference 226178), specifically our objection to logging within Burkholder’s UREP.
You are unlikely to be aware of the importance of Burkholder to the people of the Yalakom Valley and to many people beyond this region who visit the lakes in order to enjoy the re- creative values of a pristine wilderness setting. The unique feature of Burkholder is that it is not roaded, while easily accessible by trail from Lac Lamare (an already roaded area).
It should be noted that the Yalakom Community Forestry Committee is not demanding that Aspen Planers stay out of the Burkholder area altogether; rather, we are asking that Aspen Planers stay out of the UREP, a small area by comparison with the blocks planned in the wider surround. There can be no doubt that logging within the UREP will severely damage its unroaded recreational value.
In your letter, you encourage us to “stay engaged with meaningful dialogue in efforts to reach an acceptable outcome for both parties,” for, “ relationships such as these form a key part of the current forest management construct and are integral to the ‘social licence’ that a forest licensee must uphold.”
Such a statement sounds very good and positive on the surface, and we do meet and converse with representatives of Aspen Planers over issues in our area, and have done so for years, certainly not only in regard to the Burkholder Lakes. As a rule, representatives of the company have received our concerns with reasonable patience and courtesy.
But all is not well in these communications. This is because our engagement in the process of planning is greatly unbalanced, with the effective decision-making power hugely weighted on the side of Aspen Planers. Here’s briefly how the process of planning goes, and I believe this is the experience of most local people engaged in planning with BC’s logging companies. Aspen Planers sends out timber cruisers who pick out blocks. We usually don’t find out about them until a local resident discovers the flagging accidentally while moving about in the watershed. We call for a meeting with Aspen to voice our concerns. By going into the office we are allowed to see the planning map. We study the map and respond with our concerns. Aspen Planers hears
Page 87 of 100 Response Letter from Ministry of Forest, Lands and Natural R...
our concerns, then goes ahead and carries out their original plan, claiming that by law they have every right to do so. We might get the odd concession (they always claim they are going way out of their way to satisfy our demands at considerable expense). There is talk of “retention” and so on. But basically, I repeat, they carry out their original plan.
In all fairness, I will mention one major concession. Block Y23 at a site along Verbenkov Road was on the books to be logged but was deferred due to its painful encroachment on the peace and sanity of the family residing there. Since that time, no such concessions have been granted.
I might also mention for the record that we have relentlessly insisted that Aspen Planers comply with the Forest and Range Practices Act (FRPA) & Regulations regarding managing visual quality. As a result, AP altered plans on CP715 (in full view of our residences) only after we alerted Compliance and Enforcement and the Forest Practices Board of their likely violation, and after these agencies had conversations with AP. This remains a critical issue in the Burkholder Lakes area as well. The information AP has so far provided us shows that they are once again failing to comply with the FRPA.
To return to the matter of Burkholder’s UREP, I assure you that logging that fragile area will have no social license from this community and if such a travesty is enacted, you may be sure it will leave behind a very bitter aftertaste among our people; it will constitute for us one more example of a lack of meaningful participation in the planning process with Aspen Planers.
If you have any further interest in the actual experience of Yalakom Community with Aspen Planers and other logging companies, our Forestry Committee stands ready for discussion.

The Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society (LRISS) is very grateful for the funding that has been provided by the Squamish Lillooet Regional District Area B. We know, as a result of your advocacy, that there is a recommendation to for the SLRD Board to consider implementing a service model that will provide stable long-term funding for invasives. It is our hope that this might be our last request for discretionary funds for invasives management.
We will be submitting a report of our annual activities completed in 2016. SLRD B funding contributed significantly to our outreach and education program. LRISS crews were able to continue to do outreach to inform people of the risks of Aquatic invasives (for example, Lion’s Fishing Derby). Other funding sources like BC Hydro, Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure (MOTI) and Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations assisted with invasive management in the SLRD region. We have continued to work on partnerships because they expand our ability to reach people and find invasives within the SLRD Area B.
We were pleased to continue to build on our partnerships with the St’at’imc in Area B. LRISS continued to strengthen our relationship with Ts’kw’aylaxw First Nation. LRISS hosted 2 presentations and a weed pull in Marble Canyon Provincial Park. This project was in collaboration with BC Parks and financial assistance from the Park Enhancement Fund. The Xaxli’p Forest Corporation was subcontracted by LRISS to survey and remove invasives along the Fountain Road right of way. This was a very successful contract. These crews have had 2 years of invasives training as part of our partnership.
Fish and Wildlife Compensation Funds were also awarded to LRISS this past year toward our Aquatics program of treatment and surveying. Ten invasive sites were treated on Seton Lake. The largest was 0.77 of a hectare of Yellow Flag Iris. This site is between

Portage Creek and the Tsal’alh community. There were 23 patches dug by hand using Tsal’alh crews hired specifically for this job. The plant material removed was taken to the Lillooet landfill and its weight was approximately 600 kilograms. Anderson Lake was also surveyed and only 3 sites of Yellow Flag Iris were detected. Our partnership with the Tsal’alh community and community groups (Ponderosa, for example) made this project a success.
LRISS would like to make a request for $5,500 for the invasives programming for the 2016-2017 fiscal year. Activities for this year include the following: • Continued development of partnerships and relationships with regional stakeholders including First Nations Governments and community groups. We wish to connect more with the communities of Pavilion and Fountain to offer resources and information regarding invasives. • Invasive outreach and education activities including signage, local events and communication. For example, invasive species spotlight signage on the Xwisten Bus and outreach materials for events (e.g. Lion’s Fishing Derby, Pavilion Lake). • Outreach & Educational resources and communications: Signage, invasive species articles, Educational materials for outreach events and public, presentations and training initiatives. • Early detection & prevention especially for aquatic species. Surveys on local lakes and outreach events to educate the public (fishing derbies, Salmon in the Canyon, for example). • Continue regional and provincial partnerships and collaboration that will benefit the LRISS region including staff training and workshops. There is an annual Professional Development Field tour that is organized for the provincial invasive coordinators.
Please do not hesitate to call or email us with any questions ([email protected] or 250-256-4292).
Sincerely,
Jacquie Rasmussen, Coordinator On behalf of, Dr. Sue Senger Chair, LRISS Board of Directors

Dear Debbie Demare,
The Lillooet Regional Invasive Species Society (LRISS) is very grateful for the funding that has been provided by the Squamish Lillooet Regional District Area A. LRISS would like to make a request for $5,500 for the invasives programming for the 2016-17 fiscal year.
LRISS was able to accomplish a significant amount of work in the Bridge River Valley- SLRD Area A using not only SLRD funding but also Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, BC Hydro’s Fish and Wildlife Compensation Fund and BC Park Enhancement Fund money. We are currently preparing an annual report that will be submitted to you outlining the activities that LRISS accomplished in 2016.
There were many accomplishments in Area A in both the outreach and field programs. LRISS extended our outreach capacity by training the BRVCA staff working at the Haylmore site. Boot brush signs (see photo below), were constructed with Park Enhancement Funds for 2 trailheads into the South Chilcotin Mountains Park. Burdock was removed not only by the LRISS crews but by Fire crews from the Lillooet Fire Zone and the Wilderness Stewardship Foundation Society on 5 Mile Ridge (in-kind donation of time).
LRISS continues to build strong partnerships in Area A especially with First Nations. The Tsal’alh community supported our successful Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program Aquatics project for the second year. LRISS hired Tsal’alh members to assist us in the removal of 7 Yellow Flag Iris sites on Tyaughton Lake. The Tyaughton Rate Payers Association was also a key partner and President, Sue Eckersley’s excavator removed approximately 6000 kilograms of Yellow Flag Iris from the lakeshore (an full dump truck load).

Re: Miyazaki House Society – Request for Funding
On behalf of Miyazaki House Board of Directors. I would like to thank the SLRD for the generous donation of $2,500.00 last year for the Summer Music Festival. This went towards funding the entertainers for the Summer Concert Series. We are indeed grateful for you help.
This year we have 9 weeks of entertainers scheduled as that is the number of weeks in July and August. Any help that you can give would be greatly appreciated and would go directly to continue our Summer Music program.
Thank you.

Greetings All,
The Rotary Club of Pemberton and the Pemberton & District Chamber of Commerce invite you to a joint fundraiser at Big Sky Golf Club on Thursday June 15, 2017. So make sure you mark that date on your calendars now! This annual event has alternated between two great venues, Big Sky Golf Club and The Meadows at Pemberton. The networking, fellowship, golf, competition and laughs participants experience are remembered long after the golf game ends.
The golf tournament is one of the largest and most important fundraisers for the Rotary Club of Pemberton that allows the club to continue to support local, international and youth-based projects. In recent years, the Club has raised funds for a playground at Signal Hill Elementary School, the completion of the kitchen at the Pemberton & District Community Centre, and a fitness circuit for One Mile Lake and the grass maze in Phase 1 of the Playscape project at the Pemberton & District Community Centre .
Currently, the club is raising funds to support the One Mile Lake Park Master Plan in partnership with the Village of Pemberton, with a particular focus on the dog beach and teen dock. The Rotary Club of Pemberton is committed to the Adopt-a-highway program and supports the Pemberton Secondary School through its bursary program support of the school’s Youth Interact Club. It is also pursuing an exciting education program called iEmpowerment and is currently spearheading its implementation in Lesotho, Africa. When at the tournament, please talk to one of our members if you are interested in being a part of our club.
This golf tournament is also the single biggest fundraiser for the Pemberton & District Chamber of Commerce. As a business organization, the Chamber is a strong advocate for business and dedicates its energy to strengthening the business community, helping the Village of Pemberton and surrounding area to thrive.
Funds from the golf tournament allow the Chamber to operate the Visitor Center, support the local business community by providing numerous networking opportunities and participate in business- enhancing initiatives. The Chamber will also continue funding an annual bursary for a student graduating from Pemberton Secondary School graduating student.
Enclosed, for your consideration, you will find a list of the various sponsorship opportunities for the 2017 Golf Tournament Fundraiser. We thank you for supporting this community event and look forward to seeing you in June!

Directors Report
EAD Committee Wednesday April 5th, 2017
Furry Creek Fishing Season, 2017.
The first fishers have appeared and we are expecting that 2017 will have a very good pink salmon run that will attract up to 100 fishers per day. Most of these people drive out from Vancouver and the North Shore or from Squamish. There are only a couple of families at Furry Creek that fish off the beaches here.
Two years ago there were problems in the community with noise, human waste, parking, and garbage, mostly on the north beach beside Olivers Landing. The community through the FCCA and the Olivers Landing Strata Council have decided to take some pro-active measures on the north beaches. They are widening some paths to make beach access easier and putting up signs giving information about parking, toilets, garbage disposal, and noise. The signs will all be on OLSC property.
I am proposing that SLRD support the Furry Creek community by providing temporary toilet facilities during the fishing season. The cost per toilet from Carneys is as follows:
Drop off: $70 Pick up: $70 Rental: $155 / month (includes once per week servicing)
The total cost for three toilets for 4 months is $760 x 3 = $2280
In addition to the toilets, I would like to install a small commercial garbage bin at the following cost:
Drop off: $105 Pick up: $105 Rental: $26 / month Service: $150 / month
Total cost = $914
There is also the possibility that I will want to purchase some signage for public areas on both beaches up to a total of $500
I would like approval for up to $4000 from Area D Select Funds.
Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Director Rainbow and Council,
The Squamish Arts Council is a community non -profit arts council that serves the District of Squamish, Electoral Area D and the Sea to Sky Corridor. Our mission is to increase awareness of and improve access to arts, culture and heritage while supporting l ocal artists. We achieve this by creating accessible arts programs, running community events and working with community partners.
This year the Squamish Arts Council (SAC) and VISUALS, Squamish Valley Artists Society are looking to partner to host a new c ommunity arts and culture event called the ArtWalk 150. We hope to that this will be an on -going annual event for residents and visitors of Squamish and Electoral Area D and are looking to start it off w ith honouring Canada's 150 years of Confederacy . We believe this lan dmark celebration will be a unique opportunity to connect people to Sea to Sky arts and will help drive visibility for local artists through cultural tourism linked with 150 Celebrations.
The event will take place over the month of September and will host weekend workshops or talks that will focus on local priorities, arts, culture and heritage. Our volunteer team and planning committee will work with local heritage and art venues such as Britannia Mine Museum and Furry Creek Golf Course to display artwork s from local artists. The ArtWalk will have a program developed with a map of all the destinations participants can visit. This map will also be a virtual interactive map to make access to the ArtWalk easier and expand potential reach to increase involveme nt. Additionally, the ArtWalk will also include free interpretive bike tours that will take participants to a featured art sp ots which will be sponsored in part by Squamish Recreation Services.
The ArtWalk will serve artists, venues and residents not just within the District of Squamish but also from the Squamish Valle y, Porteau Cove, Furry Creek and Britannia. We believe the benefit to these areas would be significant as there is room for growth and development for the arts sector and art events in our region.
The Squamish Arts Council kindly request from the SLRD a g rant of $25 00.00 for this project. These funds will go towards sourcing art from artists that are in Electoral Area D; managing the coordination and partnership of Electoral Area D venues to participate in the ArtWalk and to set up pop -up galleries in thei r venues; and to assist with program materials like ArtWalk map and guide that will highlight the Electoral Area D venues which participants can visit.
Our planning team of passionate volunteers are working hard with community partners and sourcing sponso rship and grant opportunities for this event. Currently, Brennan Park Recreation Services has partnered with SAC and VISUALS for this event and has committed in -kind sponsorship. We believe by investing in this initiative we can help grow arts and culture for Squamish, Electoral Area D and the Sea to Sky.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Cydney Lyons Chairperson, Squamish Arts Council
