Current ISIS Scope Mandate: To track all silviculture obligations and activities on Crown Land includes: FIA funded X X Backlog areas Current Fire & Pest Major Licensees Woodlot Licences Timber Sales Program Community Forest Agreements Free Growing Openings Post Free Growing Openings Pre-1987 Post 1988 Post 1987 Pre-Post 1987 for stand tending
Current total ISIS Scope Total of number of Openings: Representing Coverage: Total Timber Harvesting Landbase (THLB): 175, 000 7. 7 million ha 23 million ha Proportion of Total THLB: 33. 5% Annual number of new openings: Annual area of new openings: 7, 400 approx. 212, 000 ha Duration of silviculture obligation until free growing: 15 to 20 years
ISIS receives significant amounts of Forest Cover/land status updates (FC) annually ä ä ä 200, 000 ha of FC info on new harvest areas 200, 000 ha of FC info at regen delay 200, 000 ha of FC info at free growing 400, 000 of pre-87 pre treatment and post treatment FC info 3/4 to 1 million ha of Forest Cover updates annually
Current State ä ä ä Since 1987 Licensees are required to do Forest Cover and Map updates on new harvest areas Licensees are required to do Forest Cover and Map updates on areas treated with FIA funds 36 % EDT transmission MOF staff involved in keypunching the other 64% of Basic silv data significant timeliness issues, some data quality issues FIA data is sent electronically for centralized process
Current State ä ä ä forest cover attribute info submitted on the FS 708 C manually transcribed into VEGCAP - no automated transfer forest cover map info submitted on paper maps and then transcribed manually onto District forest cover base maps - no automated transfer Currently limited (or no) map up-dating by MSRM industry does not have easy access to own records limited MAPVIEW use or functionality for day-day operations
Retooling of ISIS into RESULTS - VM platform is shutting down as of July 2003 - IMG is rewriting all applications to Oracle - ISIS/MLEDT applications will have to be rebuilt/redesigned and there is an opportunity align to RBC and emerging business needs - FPB will give best-approximation of business need despite RBC consultation process not complete until Nov-Dec in order to meet July 2003 target - Sufficient lead-time is required to articulate business changes, if any, to licensees so that they can prepare and make changes to their own in-house data management systems
Retooling of ISIS into RESULTS - silviculture application built based on new business requirements supplied by FPB (e. g. RBC, DFAM, etc. ) - will tie to MLEDT (electronic data transfer) project to facilitate mandatory electronic submission - will be web-based (easy access for all and user-friendly menus) - will be spatially-enabled (can capture mapping linework)
The Future State ä ä ä Web-based or EDT transfer of all map and attribute info from industry (primary source) industry submitted digital information provided meets clear standards for quality and timeliness No Mo. F staff intervention ISIS will be retooled and called RESULTS Information in RESULTS will be easily reported on and accessed by licensees Information resides in RESULTS or is transferred to MSRM at set periods
The Future State ä ä ä Information in RESULTS used on a day to day basis to viewed and displayed on the MAPVIEW product (i. e. all treated areas) information in RESULTS will be a key source of information on young stands for the timber supply process It will be a primary source to generate information necessary to create the young stand yield curves including, regen delay, species composition, site index, stand density and stocking and amount of improved seed deployed
Future business needs for data ä ä ä ä Effectiveness monitoring and evaluation of RBC Report on C & I for SFM & State of the Forest Report on forest stewardship and federal forestry reporting obligations (national forestry database) Performance measures/annual reporting Silviculture compliance reporting provide information to the Timber Supply Review process on young managed stands for the first 15 -20 years. Including updates due to tending. Ability to compare operational activities against land use zone and objectives
Future business needs for data ä ä ä Interim silviculture information system for TSBC until they procure a new integrated management system Use information from existing practices to support the development legislation and policy (e. g. . modification of standards, innovative forestry practices Assist with silviculture cost appraisals process Internal MOF workload analysis (FTE, risk assessment and priority setting, etc. ); Tracking silviculture obligations/liabilities on NRFL and licensees who becomes insolvent Countervail and others
Overview of the forest cover update process for 0 -20 year old stands ä ä Licensees harvest an area Licensees are responsible for reforestation and to achieve approved end-results standards in FSP At a minimum of 3 times, at post harvest, regeneration delay and at free growing licensees submit digitally an update of the forest cover attributes and a map to RESULTS Map must show opening boundary and any internal polygons and must link to forest cover info contained on the FS 708 C.
Industry provides forest cover attributes for an opening during the first 20 years via the FS 708 C
Industry provides regular map updates of the internal polygons associated with the FS 708 C FS 708 Form C Forest Cover FS 658 SILV SURVEY PLOT FS 659 SILV SURVEY SUMMARY FS 810 FOREST COVER DATA ENTRY Opening 82 L 050 0. 0 1234 Polygon 123 Polygon 124 Polygon 125
Standards to be applied to area FS 708 Form B Harvesting Activities FS 708 Form B Silviculture Activities No Forms to District office No Data Entry Licensee X Information System Licensee enter information via web Electronic Data Transfer FS 708 Form C Forest Cover FS 658 SILV SURVEY PLOT FS 659 SILV SURVEY SUMMARY FS 810 FOREST COVER DATA ENTRY Opening 82 L 050 0. 0 1234 Polygon 123 Polygon 124 Polygon 125 Corporate Database RESULTS
Transfer of information to MSRM ä ä Digital maps of the opening and internal polygon linework will be regularly transmitted to MSRM from RESULTS MSRM will merge digital opening map information with the 1: 20, 000 maps RESULTS will be the main source of forest cover information on harvested polygons for ~0 -20 years after 20 years, the regular inventory update process will provide updated information for the area

Transfer of information to TSB ä When requested, MSRM will transfer complete veg graphics and text files to TSB or the DFAM consortia
MSRM provides complete FIP/Veg spatial and attribute files to Timber Supply Branch or DFAM consortia to do stand forest level forecasting of forest values MSRM TSB or DFAM m 3/ha Growth & Yield years TSR AAC Scenarios ha age class species m 3/yr 0 to 200 yrs
Things that need to be done ä ä Rationalize what types of spatial data needs to be collected within the opening boundary and the appropriate resolution to meet client needs need to work together towards common standard for collection of spatial information (e. g. GML) to enable sharability of data between MOF/MSRM & Licensees process to transfer files from MOF to MSRM must be documented definition on frequency of transfer
Things that need to be done ä ä Forest cover strata that exist within an Opening, we need a standard protocol to allow industry and the agencies to consistently assign and communicate polygon numbers/id MSRM needs to ensure they have an up-to-date copy of the TFL base maps so that opening and polygon specific information from RESULTS can be loaded
MSRM and MOF need to develop clear business standards for ä ä ä Forest cover labelling and mapping procedures for reserves and residual timber types minimum mapping standards for reserves and residual timber types (1/4 ha? ) salvage and poling forest cover update procedures
MSRM and MOF need to develop clear business standards for ä ä ä digital map file submission standards seek funding for industry software and data conversion so that they can translate their GIS info into the new govt standard (XML and GML) clarity on frequency of MSRM polygon updates
Conclusion ä ä The new FPC code is linked to providing timely quality updates on silviculture RESULTS and the forest cover condition of 2 nd growth stands FPC required data will be electronically submitted by industry & transferred seamlessly to the appropriate MOF and MSRM databases data will need to meet clearly defined quality and submission standards and timelines TSB and DFAM consortia will be able to receive complete forest cover information from MSRM
