In British Columbia, the parks and protected areas, recreation sites, reserves and conservation reserves within the PDA and PEAA are managed under the Park Act, the Protected Areas of British Columbia Act, the Forest and Range Practices Act, the Forest Practices Code of British Columbia Act, the Forest Act, the Ecological Reserve Act, the Environment and Land Use Act and the Agricultural Land Commission Act. All parks, protected areas and recreation areas are managed for outdoor recreation and tourism, preservation and protection of natural heritage, scientific research and education, nonconsumptive outdoor recreation and the protection and maintenance of their biological diversity and natural environments. A number of restrictions on motor vehicle use and industrial and construction activities are in place within Forest Recreation Sites in British Columbia. Approval must be obtained from a designated forest official to engage in restricted activities. The following sections provide a summary of the proposed Burnie River Protected Area and the Monkman Provincial Park because these protected areas have special significance to the Project and Monkman Provincial Park is the only park within the PEAA. 8.1.1 Proposed Burnie River Protected Area, British Columbia A notable protected area of special relevance to the Project is the proposed Burnie River Protected Area in British Columbia. This proposed protected area was planned by provincial authorities in consultation with and consideration of the Project, making allowance for the RoW to pass through it. The proposed protected area is delineated under British Columbia’s Environment and Land Use Act and the approval process for the official designation status of the protected area is expected to be completed before the end of 2009, by an order in council (Schultz 2008, pers. comm.).
