Species and Ecosystems at Risk - (Masked Secured Proprietary) Occurrences - CDC

The B.C. Conservation Data Centre's spatial layer that identifies a generalised  area that masks the precise locations of secured  occurrences of species and ecosystems at risk.  This layer only represents those locations secured due to proprietary reasons.  ‘Proprietary’ can include cases where the private landowner or the data submitter has requested that the data not be released publicly.   Generally these element occurrences will not be released beyond CDC use unless a Data and Information Sharing Agreement is in place with the private landowner/submitter. For more information please contact the CDC at cdcdata@gov.bc.ca.

TANTALIS - Reversions

This feature is a forfeiture of land back to the Crown due to nonpayment of taxes. A forfeiture can be redeemed by the owner or stay reverted to the Crown. Tantalis is an information system designed specifically for the needs of the complex workings of Crown Land Registry and to provide automated support for all aspects of Crown land administration. It was designed to provide a foundation for integrating spatial data associated with mapping of survey plans and administrative boundaries with attribute data associated with legal documents and administrative records. The system records and tracks the sale, survey, license, access, return, and restriction of Crown land in British Columbia. This new system introduced the capacity for further applications, to revolutionize access and processing of Crown land information.

Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and found to be a failure.  Design points have been identified as a priority for remediation based on a variety of potential criteria: quality of habitat upstream, quantity of fish habitat upstream, number and importance of species present, operational plans for the road cost of the proposed remediation, etc. They are sites where the amount of habitat to be gained by remediation has been confirmed and where a design has actually been completed.

PSCIS Habitat Confirmations

Points where an evaluation of the fish habitat up and downstream of a road crossing have been carried out.  Phase 2 of 4 in the Fish Passage Workflow, Habitat Confirmations are done at sites where the crossing structure is known to be a failure.  The Habitat Confirmation is performed to ensure that the site in question is a good candidate for moving on to the Design (Phase 3) and Remediation (Phase 4) stages of the workflow.  The Habitat Confirmation confirms the crossing is a barrier, places the crossing in context with respect to other roads and crossings in the watershed and also quantifies and qualifies how much habitat will be gained if the site is fixed.

Contains the boundaries of current British Columbia Strategic Land and Resource Plans (SLRPs). The plans can be accessed [here](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/industry/crown-land-water/land-use-planning/regions).

SLRPs provide direction for Crown land use through the establishment of broad land use goals, planning zone designations, objectives and strategies.  This layer represents an integrated regional consensus-based process, which requires public and First Nations participation to produce a SLRP for review and approval by government.  SLRPs establish direction on land and resource use and specify broad resource management objectives and strategies. Historical plan types include SRMPs, LRMPs, RLUPs and coastal plans. 

Current, non-retired SLRP boundaries are included in this layer, where RETIREMENT_DATE is blank. RETIREMENT_DATE is the field that stores the retirement date. If RETIREMENT_DATE is empty, the feature is the current shape. All SLRP shapes (past/retired and present/current) are in the layer [Strategic Land and Resource Plans - All](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/298d1034-c1be-4fd1-ad4b-d00ad5ab4b88).
