Prince George Fibre Management
A Summary of the 2003 Hauling and Milling Strategy:
Presentation prepared by Andrew McLellan, RPF
Today’s Objectives Background - Hauling and Milling
Program Forest Management Objectives Business Objectives Program Scope MPB Monitoring Program Participants Potential Monitoring Methods Lessons Wrap-up
Background Response to MoF guidance on hauling
and milling of MPB volume during beetle flight period.
Canfor received similar guidance from – Vanderhoof District– Prince George District– Lakes District
Estimate 70% of PG Summer Plan in IBM
Desire to be Proactive
Biological Factors Outbreak Conditions Increasing Populations Favorable Climatic Conditions Large Volume of Susceptible Hosts Advanced Brood Development Dispersed Harvest Sites
– Elevation– Aspect– Climate– Prevailing Winds
Forest Management Objectives
Minimize Impact (Timber and Non-Timber)
Minimize Spread Maximize Efficacy of MPB Harvest Balance Competing Interests
– Social– Environmental– Economic
Business Objectives Maintain Operational Flexibility Collaborative, Aggressive,
Responsible Approach Minimize Delivered Log Costs Regulate Mill Inventories Extend Harvest Season Minimize No-Haul Period Predict Peak Flight – Adjust
Accordingly
Program Scope Harvest Site Extraction
– Split Lining – $0.05/m3– Sorting – $1.00 m3
Secondary Transportation– MPB Monitoring Program - $50,000– Un-Interrupted Transportation– Haul Corridor Risk Assessment
Mill Site and Processing– Delivery Schedule and Inventory
Management– Log Deck Prioritization – 24Hr Turns– 3km, 10km Radius
Possible Monitoring Methods
Exit Hole Monitoring Monitored Temperature Integrated Monitoring
– Brood Development– Relative Populations– Exit Holes– Temperature Monitoring– Forecasted Temperatures

Lessons During an Epidemic Spill-over is
Virtually Imperceptible Risk Factors are Dynamic Communication is Key Monitoring Relative Population adds
