From: Claire Trevena [mailto:claire.trevena.mla@leg.bc.ca]  Sent: September‐09‐16 11:36 AM To: Melissa Tonkin <mtonkin@rdmw.bc.ca> Subject: Ferry users deserve better than Christy Clark’s cynical pre‐election ploy 

Dear Friends,   This week’s announcement of reinstated ferry service is nothing but a cynical pre‐election ploy by Premier Christy Clark.   By restoring the service she cut herself, the premier is showing she is more interested in blunting criticism of her government than addressing the needs of ferry‐dependent communities.   The premier announced Tuesday that BC Ferries would be reinstating service between Bella Coola, on the central coast, and Port Hardy, on Vancouver Island. She claimed that the route would help visitors from around the world see the majesty of the Great Bear Rainforest.  First Nations, communities and small businesses will no doubt welcome the service, but everyone in British Columbia remembers that it was Christy Clark who cut the service in 2014, and it was the residents and the New Democrat opposition who said the cuts would devastate small business in the region.   Christy Clark also allowed the sale of the Queen of Chilliwack, the ferry serving the route, for cents on the dollar to a private ferry company in Fiji, and she did it after $18 million of public money was spent to refit the ship.  Christy Clark’s BC Ferries have been contributing to the affordability crisis in this province, with skyrocketing fares and service cuts that hurt coastal communities. This latest move will not fool British Columbians – it hasn’t fooled the media, who are rightly condemning this late stact of cynical politics, calling it a “thorough botch job” and ridiculing it like a sleight of hand magic trick.   Ferry users and coastal communities deserve better than what they are getting from Christy Clark.  Thank you for supporting an affordable, accessible public ferry system.   Claire Trevena, MLA (North Island) Opposition spokesperson for transportation   Gary Holman, MLA (Saanich‐North and the Islands) Opposition spokesperson for BC Ferries

New Whale Heritage Sites (WHS) signal a new era in responsible whale watching DYLAN WALKER

16th August, 2016 As whale watching grows in popularity, so too do concerns about marine habitats and the conservation of whales, dolphins and porpoises. DYLAN WALKER of the World Cetacean Alliance explains why we must all take responsibility for ethical interactions with these intriguing animals

Irresponsible whale watching can result in harassment of cetaceans, lead to behavioural changes, and even hinder reproductive rates

The cultural importance of cetaceans dates back millennia, with whales and dolphins revered in many cultures as deities, guides and protectors. However, in recent times the need to reconnect with cetaceans in a non-exploitative way has never been more apparent.

From hunting cetaceans and capturing animals for captivity, to dangers posed by ghost fishing nets and plastic waste, whales and dolphins face continued exploitation - with numbers of many species in decline. Of the 88 species, the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) now classifies three as Critically Endangered, seven as Endangered, six as Vulnerable, and five as Near Threatened.

Despite these issues, the appeal of experiencing cetaceans in their natural habitat has never been more popular. Whale watching - the practice of observing whales, dolphins, and porpoises (cetaceans) in their natural habitat - has seen a huge and recent surge in popularity as humans continue to be enamoured by these majestic creatures.

However, our desire to experience those close encounters with whales and dolphins can serve to escalate the problems that they face. Irresponsible whale watching can result in harassment of cetaceans, lead to behavioural changes, and even hinder reproductive rates. In the very worse cases, serious or fatal injuries caused by strikes from whale watching and other vessels can occur if boats attempt to approach the animals too closely and with reckless boat handling.

Fortunately, many responsible whale-watching companies operate around the world. It has become increasingly apparent that these organisations and their associated communities must be recognised for their efforts if we're to secure a prosperous future not only for cetaceans and the people that rely upon them for their livelihoods, but also for our oceans.

17

How can whale watching promote healthy oceans?

As a basis for significant scientific research, an educational platform for the public to learn about ocean conservation, and an important source of income for local communities, responsible whale watching is now seen as an ethical alternative to keeping cetaceans in captivity.

Yet the many tour operators that maintain respectful whale watching practices, and contribute to securing a viable source of income for coastal communities through responsible tourism, remain largely unrecognized. The solution is to reward the communities that celebrate cetaceans, seek more sustainable solutions, and promote the environmental management of marine resources.

To address these concerns, Whale Heritage Sites (WHS) are now being earmarked across the globe. Each site will aim to enhance the conservation of cetaceans by helping to secure sustainable livelihoods, encourage respectful interactions, increase protection measures, and celebrate cetaceans through the arts, science, education, and cultural events. Whale Heritage Sites also provide the travel industry with a clear marker to identify and support sustainable practice, and create a platform for destinations to promote whale related culture, heritage and biodiversity.

What are Whale Heritage Sites?

The WHS initiative, spearheaded by the UK-based World Cetacean Alliance (WCA), was created following three years of consultation with whale watching companies, NGOs, governments, and the travel industry. Whale Heritage Sites can be high sea or coastal marine areas - and occasionally rivers and lakes - where dolphins, whales and porpoises live. Accreditation is awarded to specific areas considered to be centres of excellence, which meet robust criteria to promote harmonious engagement with cetaceans. The sites must demonstrate that relationships between communities and animals are congruous and not exploitative.

The umbrella categories include: encouraging respectful human-cetacean coexistence; celebrating cetaceans with cultural events; environmental, social and economic sustainability; and research, education and awareness.

These criteria were debated at the first WHS Summit, held in the Azores, Portugal, in October 2015 and attended by nearly 100 delegates from around the world - including scientists, conservationists, tourist board representatives and whale watching companies. Following a public consultation, the scheme opened for applications in April 2016.

Since the programme launched, more than 11 entries have been received from sites applying for candidacy status. Five of these applications have been accepted to progress to a first round of considerations by the WHS's Steering Committee. The destinations are Vancouver Island North in Canada, Port Stephens, and Hervey Bay, in Australia, Peninsula Valdez in Argentina, and Nantucket in the USA.

18

The five locations are now in the process of becoming candidate sites, and will be audited before an Independent Review Panel assesses whether they have fulfilled the criteria in order to be designated as Whale Heritage Sites.

Designation as a Whale Heritage Site will facilitate marketing and promotion, boost visitor numbers and the incomes of tourism providers, enable sustainable management of marine resources and celebrate history, the environment, and cultural identity.

Guidance on responsible whale watching

Whale Heritage Sites are also designed to provide tourists with an easily accessible means to select responsible whale and dolphin watching holiday destinations. Experiencing these incredible animals in a respectful way is known to lead to the best encounters, either because natural behaviours are not disturbed, or because the animals feel relaxed in the company of the vessel and often approach closer or interact.

It is not only tourism companies, governments, and coastal communities that hold the key to helping ensure a thriving future for our oceans, but also the wider public. The more inspired we are as a result of witnessing cetaceans in their natural habitats, the more likely we are to work together to promote ocean conservation and sustainable practices. It's a responsibility that each and every one of us shares, but what is exciting is that Whale Heritage Sites are places that will help us to realise these aspirations.

REGIONAL DISTRICT OF MOUNT WADDINGTON (RDMW)

INTERAGENCY REFERRAL REPORT

Date: September 12, 2016 RDMW File No.: 2016029

Provincial Agency: Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO)

Agency File No: 1414416

Electoral Area: A Electoral Area Director: Heidi Soltau Applicant’s Name: BC Timber Sales Applicant’s Location: Port McNeill, BC

Tenure Type: License of Occupation Tenure Duration: 10 years Location: Georgia Bay – Mereworth Sound Area: 1 site of 12.6 hectares

Proposal:

The RDMW has received a referral from BC Timber Sales with respect to a proposal to submit a Crown Land Tenure Application related to a marine based site (subject site) of 12.6 hectares (31.14 acres) located adjacent to the east side of Mereworth Sound in the vicinity of Georgia Bay. The purpose of the application is to obtain a ten year licence of occupation tenure with respect to the subject site in order to reactivate it to allow forestry related activities including log dump, handling and storage, direct to barge loading, skidway, barging, float and/or barge camp and related activities. These activities would be undertaken in relation to logging operations in the area by the applicant’s TSL licencees. A report titled, “Post-Operational Marine Environmental Impact Review of the Georgia Bay Log Handling Facility” was prepared by Strategic Natural Resource Consultants Inc. in October, 2015 on behalf of the applicant. The purpose in preparing this report is to compile the findings associated with an assessment of the impacts to the marine environment as a result of past log handling activities at this location. The report indicates that the subject site was previously utilized for similar logging activities from November, 2014 through March, 2015 and that as part of these operations, BCTS has received an authorization issued by the Federal Government that allowed for up to 750 square meters of fish habitat to be harmed through alteration / disruption / destruction (HADD) with plans to mitigate this by providing suitable fish habitat elsewhere. The Strategic assessment work determined that a larger area of 1,000 square meters of fish habitat was actually impacted and as a result, an additional HADD of 250 square meters was created. The applicant, BC Timber Sales, advises that it has been working with Fisheries and Oceans Canada to ensure that adequate compensatory habitat has been identified and set aside to account for this over extension of HADD. In its report, Strategic indicates that the Georgia Bay log handling facility was chosen due to the determination from previous surveys that its bathymetry and small amount of sensitive habitats was conducive to these activities. This previous work indicated that the bathymetry was favorable for wood waste transportation into deeper, less productive waters and that the local fish habitat located was not crucial. This resulted in the conclusion that this location for the log dump was a logical choice. Strategic confirms that the compensation of fish habitat due to the excess HADD of 250 square meters has since been created. In its assessment, Strategic concludes that the subject site is a good candidate for continued use if its recommendations are adhered to. These recommendations include: • Adhering to all relevant legislation regarding the re-activation of log handling facilities. • The skidway should be directed towards the south-west where the wood waste can go towards deeper

water. This will promote quicker recovery of the site. • Install boom sticks approximately 50m from shore with stiff leg anchors (or comparable anchoring systems)

in the log storage area (east side of LOO) to prevent grounding of log bundles. • Anchor barge camp in a minimum of 12m of water. • Do not perform any operations within the shallow, productive area in northeastern Georgia Bay. • Follow the debris management plan and environmental management plan attached in Appendix 5 and 6

respectively. The debris management plan includes measures that were used during previous operations of 25

RDMW Interagency Referral Report: BC Timber Sales – Georgia Bay - 1414416 / 2016029 2

other sites that proved to be effective. • Prior to the next operations, the eelgrass beds within Georgia Bay should be mapped for size and density.

Subsequent surveys could track changes to these sensitive habitats if they are being negatively affected by the operations of the log handling facility.

• During the next survey, create an additional transect line to the west of transect 1 to determine the extent of wood waste accumulation in that direction.

Regional Plan (Bylaw No. 890, 2015): The Regional Plan outlines the vision and strategic goals for the Regional District. It is an umbrella policy document that contains policies on a broad range of matters of importance to the region’s residents, including land use planning and development. The vision statement, as well as the land use policies for public lands support resource-based economic development while emphasizing the need for long-term ecological, economic and social sustainability. The Regional Plan contains forestry-specific policies that promote a sustainable forestry sector which includes forestry uses that are conducted in a manner that demonstrate responsible management practices, and that meet all relevant policies, laws and regulations. The Regional Plan advises that the RDMW will be guided by policies included in approved provincial planning documents. North Vancouver Island Marine Plan (NVIMP): The purpose of the NVIMP is to provide recommendations for achieving ecosystem-based marine management that maintains social and cultural wellbeing and economic development based on healthy ecosystems over the long term. The NVIMP includes recommendations for developing and maintaining resilient marine ecosystems and sustainable economies. It focuses on providing direction for managing marine areas, uses and activities. The subject site is situated in the North Coast Fjords ecosection of the North Vancouver Island Marine Plan Area as shown on Figure 4. It is not located in a Marine Protection Designation as per Figure 5, and is located in the Special Management Zone (SMZ) as shown on Figure 7. The management intent for the SMZ as described by the NVIMP, is ecosystem-based management of potentially compatible and co-existing uses, activities, values and interests. SMZ areas are assigned a management emphasis that is intended to strengthen, encourage and/or maintain opportunities for important existing values, uses or activities associated with local communities, First Nations and marine economic sectors related to the area emphasis. In this regard, Figure 8 shows that the subject site is included in SMZ Cultural/Economic Emphasis Area 4 – Kokwiiss/Alison Sound/Wa’ump/Tsai-kwi-ee. SMZ Cultural/Economic Emphasis Areas are intended to reinforce their high value to First Nations, on a seasonal and year-round basis, for cultural value protection, Aboriginal economic development opportunities, and food security. This includes continued First Nations marine resource use and access to cultural resources, including those for spiritual, social, food and marine plant fibre harvest, educational and ceremonial purposes. Uses and activities in SMZ Cultural/Economic Emphasis Areas should strengthen, encourage and/or maintain First Nations cultural resources and economic opportunities. General provisions for SMZ Cultural/Economic Emphasis Areas are included in Table 13, recommended uses and activities are outlined in Table 14, and area-based conditions for conditional uses and activities are included in Table 15. This information indicates that forestry operations in SMZ Cultural/Economic Emphasis Area 4 are conditionally acceptable subject to all applicable laws, policy and relevant agreements, and provided they are consistent with (adhere to) the NVIMP conditions. RDMW Zoning Bylaw No. 21, 2002: Zoning Bylaw No. 21 applies to the subject site and surrounding marine and upland areas. The subject site is a marine area which is not subject to a particular zoning category at this time. The adjacent upland areas are included in the Rural Zone (A-1), the provisions of which include forestry as a permitted use. Electoral Area Director: I concur with this report. 26

RDMW Interagency Referral Report: BC Timber Sales – Georgia Bay - 1414416 / 2016029 3 Manager of Economic Development: Reuse of the subject site for is designed to limit impacts associated with forestry activities by avoiding the need to establish new log handling sites. Where new / expanded environmental impacts can be avoided, and reuse of existing infrastructure and/or improvements achieved, this should be encouraged as part of a more sustainable forestry sector which is in keeping with the policies of the Regional Plan.

SUMMARY COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: The proposal relates to reactivation of a marine based site in Merecroft Sound (Georgia Bay) that has been used for forestry purposes in the past, and is proposed to be reactivated and utilized in conjunction with forestry operations being undertaken nearby as part of a Timber Sales Licence(s) to be issued by British Columbia Timber Sales. As per its Regional Plan, the RDMW’s policies strongly support the region’s forestry sector provided forestry operations are conducted in a sustainable manner that demonstrate responsible management practices, and that meet all relevant provincial, federal and local government policies and regulations. Specific uses are not prescribed for this marine area via Zoning Bylaw No. 21 which applies,

The North Vancouver Island Marine Plan (NVIMP) provides recommendations for achieving ecosystem-based marine management that maintains social and cultural wellbeing and economic development based on healthy ecosystems over the long term. It includes recommendations for developing and maintaining resilient marine ecosystems and sustainable economies, and focuses on providing direction for managing marine areas, uses and activities. The subject site / proposal is located in Special Management Zone Cultural/Economic Emphasis Area 4 – Kokwiiss/Alison Sound/Wa’ump/Tsai-kwi-ee where forestry operations are conditionally acceptable subject to all applicable laws, policy and relevant agreements and provided they are consistent with (adhere to) the NVIMP conditions. An environmental impact review of the subject site was undertaken Strategic Natural Resource Consultants Inc. (Strategic) to measure the impact of past forestry operations and to provide direction with respect to potential reactivation of the site for forestry operations. In conducting its assessment, Strategic concludes that the subject site can be reactivated for forestry uses provided its recommendations are implemented as part of these operations. These recommendations include, but not limited to, adherence to the debris management and environmental management plans it developed for the subject site. The RDMW has no objection to this proposal subject to implementation of the recommended mitigation measures developed as part of the environmental impact review by Strategic. This includes, but is not limited to, the debris management plan and environmental management plan prepared by Strategic. Given the nature of this site, operations must be undertaken in accordance with Approved Work Practices (AWP) for Re-activated Log Dumps in Marine Waters of British Columbia.

The subject property is included in the Rural Residential RA-1 Zone (“RA-1 Zone”) in accordance with Zone Map No. 1 of Bylaw No. 648. The RA-1 Zone permits one single-family dwelling on a lot and your proposal to site one single-family dwelling on the subject property complies with Bylaw No. 648 in this regard. The regulations of the RA-1 Zone stipulate a minimum lot size of 1.0 hectare (2.47 acres) and the subject property is 1.01 of a hectare (2.5 acres) in area and therefore complies with the minimum lot size requirement. While a minimum frontage requirement is not prescribed by Bylaw No. 648, section 512 of the Local Government Act requires the minimum frontage to be 10% of the perimeter of the lot. In this regard, the subject property must have 41.66 meters (136.68 feet) of frontage and it has 71.12 meters (233.33 feet) of frontage on Hyde Creek Road. A review of the setback regulations of Bylaw No. 648 has been conducted with respect to the single detached dwelling as shown on the site plan submitted by you and attached hereto, as follows:

Required

Proposed

Conformity

Front Lot Line Setback (Hyde Creek Road): minimum of 9 meters (29.5 feet)

39.6 meters (130 feet) yes

Rear Lot Line Setback (opposite and parallel to front lot line: minimum of 9 meters (29.5 feet)

78 meters (256 feet) yes

Side Lot Line Setback (north): minimum of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) 29.6 meters (97 feet) yes

Side Lot Line Setback (south): minimum of 2.5 meters (8.2 feet) 27.4 meters (90) feet) yes

Bylaw No. 648 stipulates that the maximum height of any principal or accessory building is 12 meters (39.37 feet). Height means the vertical distance between the average elevation of the finished grade of the lot, along the front of the development, to the highest point of the roof surface. You have indicated that the single-family dwelling will be limited to a single storey. Off-street parking must be provided in accordance with section 3.1.0 of Bylaw No. 648. In this regard, two off-street parking stalls must be provided with respect to a single-family dwelling. The proposed driveway shown on your site plan is of sufficient area to accommodate the required parking stalls. Please note that as we have discussed, where more than one driveway access is proposed from a property onto a public road,

approval of the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure must be obtained. In this regard, please contact Anne Molony, Development Technician with the Ministry, at 250-334-6969 or Anne.Molony@gov.bc.ca. A review of the current title for the subject property indicates there is one covenant and one statutory building scheme registered on the title as follows: 1) The covenant (Registration Number FB130079) is with the Vancouver Island Health Authority (now

Island Health) and stipulates that a 760 square metre (8,180.6 square foot) sewage disposal area in the southwest corner of the subject property must only be used for sewage disposal purposes, and that installation of a sewage disposal system in another location on the subject property shall require the prior written permission of Island Health. The proposed location of the single-family dwelling does interfere with the sewage disposal area as identified in the covenant document.

2) The statutory building scheme (Registration Number FB130080) was registered on title of the subject property by the developer and includes provisions that affect the use and development of the subject property as follows:

- No lot may be used for other than residential purposes; - Any dwelling or outbuilding (s) must be completed on the exterior within one year of commencement

of construction; and, - No mobile or modular residence may be moved onto the site, including mobile homes and modular

homes. It is noted that the subject property is not served by community sewage or water systems and will be required to be serviced with onsite services. Please consult with Island Health (formerly Vancouver Island Health Authority) with respect to arrangements / requirements related to the provision of sewage and water services. Please contact Mr. Eric Bergsma, Environmental Health Officer, at 250-902-6078 or Eric.Bergsma@viha.ca in this regard. Given the above review, the RDMW has approved Site Permit 2016-SP-14 included on page 4 with respect to the single-family dwelling in accordance with the site plan submitted as part of your Application for Site Permit, which is marked “APPROVED” and signed/dated by the undersigned, and attached hereto on page 4. It is noted that while the subject property is not within the mandatory building inspection area of the Regional District of Mount Waddington, all construction must be undertaken in accordance with the British Columbia Building Code and any other applicable provincial and federal legislation and associated regulations. Electrical and gas work may require a permit from the BC Safety Authority and you are advised to check with the BCSA in this regard (Tel: 1-866-566-7233 Web: http://safetyauthority.ca). Please note that construction of new homes may be required to meet certain requirements administered by the Homeowner Protection Office (Branch of BC Housing) under the Homeowner Protection Act and regulations. Please contact the Homeowner Protection office at 1-800-407-7757, hpo@hpo.bc.ca or visit the HPO website at https://hpo.bc.ca/.

Should you have any questions or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact me.

August 11, 2016 File: 2016-SP-15 Folio: 14075.000 Guy and Kathryn Campbell PO Box 75 Sointula, BC V0N 3E0 Dear Guy and Kathryn: Re: Application for Site Permit - 165 1st Street, Sointula (The North West ¼ of Block 21, Section 9, Malcolm Island, Rupert District, Plan 816 / PID 008-438-048) I have reviewed your Application for Site Permit with respect to the proposed 20.25 square meter (218 square foot) accessory gazebo building to be sited on the above referenced property (“subject property”), in accordance with the site plan provided with your application, and the applicable regulations of Malcolm Island Zoning Bylaw No. 725, 2006 (“Bylaw No. 725”). The subject property is included in the R4 Multi Family Residential Zone (“R4 Zone”) in accordance with Schedule B of Bylaw No. 725. The R4 Zone permits one duplex dwelling and accessory buildings. A duplex dwelling is currently located on the subject property and your proposal to site an accessory gazebo building complies with Bylaw No. 725 in this regard. It is noted that the existing resource centre use is not a permitted use in the R4 Zone and that this should be rectified through application for and consideration of a change to Bylaw No. 725. Both buildings associated with the duplex and resource centre uses have been in existence for over 50 years and therefore predate zoning regulations. These buildings do not meet some of the current zoning regulations associated with setbacks and any future expansions or additions thereto may require development variances or other approvals to proceed. The regulations of the R4 Zone stipulate a minimum lot size of 1,337.76 square meters (0.33 of an acre). The subject property is 1,337.8 square meters (0.331 of an acre) in area and thereby complies with the minimum lot size requirement. The R4 Zone requires both the length and width of a lot to be a minimum of 36.576 meters (120 feet). The subject property is a square with lengths and widths equal to 36.576 meters. The subject property has frontage on both 1st Street and 17th Avenue with 1st Street being the front lot line. A review of the setback regulations of Bylaw No. 725 has been conducted for the accessory gazebo building shown on the site plan submitted by you and attached hereto, as follows:

Required

Proposed

Conformity

Front Lot Line Setback (1st Street): minimum of 5.0 meters (16.4 feet)

+/- 9 meters (29.5 feet) yes

Rear Lot Line Setback (opposite and parallel to 1st Street): minimum of 1.5 meters (4.92 feet)

+/- 23 meters (132.9 feet) yes

Side Lot Line Setback (north – 17th Avenue): minimum of 1.5 meters (4.92 feet)

3 meters (9.8 feet) yes

Side Lot Line Setback (south): minimum of 1.5 metres (4.92 feet)

28 meters (92.1 feet) yes

32

Application for Site Permit: Campbell, 165 1st Street, Sointula (RDMW File: 2016-SP-15) 2

The maximum lot coverage prescribed by Bylaw No. 725 with respect to the accessory uses on a lot in the applicable R4 Zone is 35%. The proposed gazebo and two other accessory buildings (resource centre and shed) combined are far less than the 35% maximum limit. The R4 Zone also requires that the landscape portion of the subject property be a minimum of 30%. Landscaped areas of the subject property far exceed 30%. Bylaw No. 725 limits the height of a primary dwelling building and accessory building to a maximum of 9.0 meters (29.53 feet) and defines height as the vertical distance between the average elevation of the finished grade along the front of the building to the highest point of the roof surface. The height of the proposed accessory gazebo building is 4 meters (13.12 feet) and this complies with the height restriction requirement of Bylaw No. 725. Off-street parking must be provided in accordance with section 3.1(a)(i) of Bylaw No. 725. No additional parking stalls are required in conjunction with the accessory gazebo building. A review of the current title for the subject property has been conducted for the purposes of identifying any encumbrances (covenants, easements or statutory rights of way) that may restrict the siting of buildings on the subject property. In this regard, there are none of these registered on the title of the subject property. The subject property is served by public sewerage and water supply services. It is understood that the accessory gazebo building will not be connected to these services. Should you need to make arrangements to service the proposed accessory gazebo building, please contact Mr. Patrick Donaghy, Manager of Operations at the Regional District of Mount Waddington, for sewerage, and Mr. Darryl Luscombe at the Sointula Water Works District at 250-973-2308 or sointula_water@yahoo.ca for arrangements related to the provision of water service. Given the above review, the RDMW has approved Site Permit 2016-SP-15 included on page 3 with respect to the accessory gazebo building in accordance with the site plan submitted as part of your Application for Site Permit, which is marked “APPROVED” and signed/dated by the undersigned, and attached hereto on page 4. While the subject property is not within the mandatory building inspection area of the Regional District of Mount Waddington, all construction must be undertaken in accordance with the British Columbia Building Code and any other applicable provincial and federal legislation and associated regulations. Electrical and gas work may require a permit from the BC Safety Authority and you are advised to check with the BCSA in this regard (Telephone: 1-866-566-7233 Web: http://safetyauthority.ca.

Should you have any questions or require any clarification, please do not hesitate to contact the undersigned.

Thank you.

Tipping Fees Applied to Transfer StationBins Whose Commun¡t¡es Have CurbsideCollect¡on

Currently fees pa¡d at transfer stat¡onsonly go towards the cost of transportingthe b¡n's contents to the landfill. Not¡pping fee is assessed by the Reg¡onalD¡strict to cover the cost of the filling upof the landf¡ll. Because the cost of thelandfill not covered by tipp¡ng fees is

made up by taxes based on propertyvalue, all property owners subs¡d¡ze th¡swaste. lffees charged at transfer stationswere set to also cover a tipping fee,property owners would not bear the sametax burden.

Currently pr¡vate and commercialpropert¡es have the¡r waste collected bythe same truck on collection days. Thispractice ¡s done to max¡m¡ze truckeffic¡ency and reduce the environmentalimpact as opposed to two trucks doingthe same route. The drawback to th¡spractice is some propert¡es generatelarger loads than the normal two garbage

cans but only pay an extra fee for thecollect¡on costs and do not pay extratipp¡ng fees. Because the cost of thelandfill not covered by tipping fees is

made up by taxes based on propertyvalue, all property owners subsid¡ze thiswaste. lf fees charged also include an

allocation for the appropriate t¡pp¡ng fee,property owners would not bear the sametax burden.
