Williams
Lake Timber Supply Area
The Williams Lake TSA is one of the largest TSAs in the province, covering
approximately 4.87 million hectares. It is located in the Fraser Basin and Interior
Plateau between the Coast Mountains on the west and the Cariboo Mountains on the east.
The TSA includes the communities of Williams Lake, Alexis Creek and Horsefly.
The current allowable annual cut (AAC) for the Williams Lake TSA,
effective November 2002, was set at 3,768,400 cubic metres. This
AAC will remain in effect until a new AAC is determined, which must take
place within five years of this determination, unless the
redetermination date is formally postponed according to the provisions
of Section 8 of the Forest Act.
Current Timber Supply Review
The third timber supply review (TSR 3) was initiated in 2005
by the Ministry of Forests and Range. A key component of the TSR
is the preparation of a timber supply analylsis.
A description and full copies of the relevant documents released for
the Williams Lake timber supply review can be found on the 'Documents'
site.
