Slide 2
ESF for Tenures Application
Under
current legislation, licensees must
submit reports to MoF under RESULTS and
As Built Roads. They will also submit
appraisals digitally
In order for us to manage these systems, it
only makes sense that we go electronic at
the front end of the life cycle of our tenures
Slide 3
Key Messages
With
any new system, there will be
challenges during the initial implementation
stages
There are going to be issues and related
problems but over time they will be over
come and solutions found
Slide 4
Key Messages
Data Quality and Integrity
ESF will feed the Land and Resource Data Warehouse
(LRDW)
Other agencies and industries will be able to conduct
their business (claims/Oil & Gas) online using the same
data base
If we do not register the area in FTA then the area is
deemed to be available for another purpose.
LRDW – Public Domain
Slide 5
ESF-FTA after June 1
We will be working in the electronic format
No hard copy submissions are required to
populate the corporate systems
However, application triggers will be required in
some instances
CP application letters must be attached to ECAS (pdf).
New road permits and amendments still requires a separate
application form.
Slide 6
ESF-FTA after June 1
Required supporting information (if
required) can be submitted electronically

Wildlife Tree Retention
Licensees required at completion of harvesting to retain
7.0% of the total area of the cutblocks harvested in the
fiscal year and 3.5% of a cutblock for blocks harvested
under FRPA requirements.
Compliance reporting will use RESULTS forest cover
submission areas and attributes
Wildlife tree retention areas may relate to more than one
cutblock, therefore each retention area polygon must be
related to a RESULTS opening.
Forest cover submissions will assign reserve polygons a
Reserve type: riparian, wildlife, dispersed, other. Reserve
polygons will require mapping if greater than 0.25 ha.
Forest cover submission sent to layer in the LRDW that will
then be used as encumbrance in the Exhibit A report.
Slide 44
Error messaging strategy
Improved Error Messaging for RESULTS
is now available
FTA will have significantly better error
messages after June 6
The plan is to have an English
descriptive error message which will be
linked to a web based description of the
solution
Slide 45
Failed Submission Strategy
Present Recommendation
District staff are the first point of contact for failed ESF
Tenures and RESULTS submissions
Tenures Contact: Lindsay Scott
Phone: 604-702-5703
Email: [email protected]
RESULTS Contact: Craig Wickland
Phone: 604-702-5753
Email: [email protected]
Slide 46
APPHELP
The first line of support for failed submissions
is the District Contact. Most errors are data
related and can be solved by district staff
Once the district contact has determined that it
is a system or data related issue, they will
forward problem to APPHELP
If problem is not resolved at APPHELP, then it
escalates to HQ specialist
From there it escalates to Programming
Contractors — VIVID/Pangaea
Slide 47
REVIEW
Is your company ready to submit electronically
after June 1?
Do you have a BCeID for your company ?
Do you know who your Profile Manager is ?
Do you know the key deadlines for ABR and
RESULTS and what your company is planning
to do to get ready?
Are you going to be using service providers
and who are they?

Cutting Permit Amendments
Details
CUTTING PERMIT AMENDMENTS
Polygons on two levels: the CP and CB.
Cut Block Level, add new cut block polygon.
Cutting Permit Level, add the new cutting permit
polygon, also copy in all pre existing cutting permit
polygons. Failure to do so will delete all of the pre
existing cutting permit polygons
Slide 52
WTPs Details
Wildlife Tree Patches are not mapped within
FTA.
Polygons (ie Cutting Permits) should never
have an interior polygon.
The WTP process is currently under review
Slide 53
TMS REPORT-Details
ALWAYS run a TMS (Tenure Map Service) report YOU can reduce delays in processing.
-identify conflicts before ESF.
-highlight mapping errors (ie. polygon goes into a
private lot, linework not correct)
If you resolve a serious conflict, a copy of your
TMS report will be requested as proof of
resolution.
Slide 54
ESF Submission Data-Details
The following information needs to be
communicated through your ESF submission:
-Under ‘description’ please include the BCGS
mapsheet number and a general description of the
area, ie ‘Simms Creek’ or ‘W of Alice Lake Park’.
-Correct PofC usage. If block has been GPS’d,
UTM or LAT and LONG may be used. If manually
traversed, metes and bounds is required.
-Each road section requires a PofC and a PofT.

Wildlife Tree Retention
Licensees required at completion of harvesting to retain
7.0% of the total area of the cutblocks harvested in the
fiscal year and 3.5% of a cutblock for blocks harvested
under FRPA requirements.
Compliance reporting will use RESULTS forest cover
submission areas and attributes
Wildlife tree retention areas may relate to more than one
cutblock, therefore each retention area polygon must be
related to a RESULTS opening.
Forest cover submissions will assign reserve polygons a
Reserve type: riparian, wildlife, dispersed, other. Reserve
polygons will require mapping if greater than 0.25 ha.
Forest cover submission sent to layer in the LRDW that will
then be used as encumbrance in the Exhibit A report.
Slide 44
Error messaging strategy
Improved Error Messaging for RESULTS
is now available
FTA will have significantly better error
messages after June 6
The plan is to have an English
descriptive error message which will be
linked to a web based description of the
solution
Slide 45
Failed Submission Strategy
Present Recommendation
District staff are the first point of contact for failed ESF
Tenures and RESULTS submissions
Tenures Contact: Lindsay Scott
Phone: 604-702-5703
Email: [email protected]
RESULTS Contact: Craig Wickland
Phone: 604-702-5753
Email: [email protected]
Slide 46
APPHELP
The first line of support for failed submissions
is the District Contact. Most errors are data
related and can be solved by district staff
Once the district contact has determined that it
is a system or data related issue, they will
forward problem to APPHELP
If problem is not resolved at APPHELP, then it
escalates to HQ specialist
From there it escalates to Programming
Contractors — VIVID/Pangaea
Slide 47

Cutting Permit Amendments
Details
CUTTING PERMIT AMENDMENTS
Polygons on two levels: the CP and CB.
Cut Block Level, add new cut block polygon.
Cutting Permit Level, add the new cutting permit
polygon, also copy in all pre existing cutting permit
polygons. Failure to do so will delete all of the pre
existing cutting permit polygons
Slide 52
WTPs Details
Wildlife Tree Patches are not mapped within
FTA.
Polygons (ie Cutting Permits) should never
have an interior polygon.
The WTP process is currently under review
Slide 53
TMS REPORT-Details
ALWAYS run a TMS (Tenure Map Service) report YOU can reduce delays in processing.
-identify conflicts before ESF.
-highlight mapping errors (ie. polygon goes into a
private lot, linework not correct)
If you resolve a serious conflict, a copy of your
TMS report will be requested as proof of
resolution.
Slide 54
ESF Submission Data-Details
The following information needs to be
communicated through your ESF submission:
-Under ‘description’ please include the BCGS
mapsheet number and a general description of the
area, ie ‘Simms Creek’ or ‘W of Alice Lake Park’.
-Correct PofC usage. If block has been GPS’d,
UTM or LAT and LONG may be used. If manually
traversed, metes and bounds is required.
-Each road section requires a PofC and a PofT.
