Panel: Alan Andison

Keywords: Forest Act – s. 105; stumpage determination; consent order

Barrie Michael Redl appealed several stumpage rate determinations issued by the Appraisal Coordinator, Ministry of Forests.  By consent of the parties, the Commission ordered that the stumpage determinations be rescinded and referred back to the Appraisal Co-ordinator with directions to calculate the stumpage rates on the basis that, subject to Amendment #12 to the Interior Appraisal Manual, rates be reappraised on their anniversary dates occurring on November 1, 2003 or later, and to calculate the stumpage rates on the basis that those rates that were fixed before a reappraisal continue to be fixed after reappraisal.
