Old Growth - BC Cumulative Effects Framework - 2019 Assessment - Kamloops

NOTE: This dataset is the result of an analysis of many input layers and as such the accuracy, currency, and completeness of the dataset cannot be relied upon for operational use.

Please refer to the [BC Cumulative Effects Old Growth Forest Value website](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/natural-resource-stewardship/cumulative-effects-framework/value-assessments-protocols/old-growth-forest) for related project information, as well as documents related to this dataset, such as protocols, reports and online tools

The data represented here corresponds to the following published report: [Current Condition Report for Old Growth Forest in the Kamloops LRMP – 2019 Analysis](https://www2.gov.bc.ca/assets/download/D7ED15641C7142F7B476987DF74A0687) 

The Interim Assessment Protocol for Old Growth Forest in British Columbia describes the procedures for two components used in the assessment. One is an assessment of the amount of old forest or old and mature forest relative to established legal and policy targets. The other assesses the amount of incursions into old growth management areas (OGMAs), relative to the established limits of incursion.

Ventilation Index Interactive Map

A real-time decision-making tool that helps citizens determine if ventilation conditions are sufficient to initiate open burning in a particular geographic area (Ventilation Index Zones).

Each ventilation index applies to a geographic area, known as a Smoke Sensitivity Zone. These zones are delineated on the ventilation index map. Upon satisfying all other requirements of the Open Burning Smoke Control Regulation, open burning within each zone may only be initiated if that zone is good on the day of ignition and good or fair on the following day. 

If ventilation conditions are sufficient to initiate open burning in a zone, a "Burn Allowed: YES" will be indicated on the information display pop-up box for that zone. If ventilation is insufficient to initiate open burning, a "Burn Allowed: NO" will appear. 

The live Ventilation Index Forecast feed is updated daily by 7:30 AM.

Canada-B.C. Water Quality Monitoring Program Interactive Map

The Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy in partnership with Environment Canada and Climate Change has designed a water quality web reporting tool for the public. B.C. was the first province to publish its data under an open license in 2011 and this tool is an extension of their commitment to engage citizens using digital technologies. The intent of this interactive map is to provide the public with summarized water quality monitoring data.

Use the map to explore a monitoring station near you:

* Read about trends in water quality and biological assessments by exploring the tabs.
* Click on a station to learn more and download data from Environment and Climate Change Canada.

This Web Mapping Application uses the story map template and mapping application series that facilitates the dissemination of data and information resulting from the Canada-B.C. Water Quality Monitoring Program Agreement.

Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory (SEI) Detailed Polygons with Short Attribute Table Spatial View

SEI_Polygons contains Sensitive Ecosystems Inventory polygons with key and amalgamated (concatenated) attributes derived from the RISC (Resource Inventory Standards Committee) standard attributes. SEI identifies and maps rare and fragile terrestrial ecosystems. Ecosystems mapped may include (but are not limited to) older forests, woodlands, coastal bluffs, herbaceous and sparsely vegetated ecosystems, grasslands, riparian ecosystems and wetlands. SEI methods include manual air photo interpretation or theming of other Ecosystem Mapping, each supported by selective field checking. This layer is derived from the STE_TEI_ATTRIBUTE_POLYS_SP layer by filtering on the PROJECT_TYPE attribute. Project types include: SEI, TEMSEI, TEMSET, and SEIWHR.

BC Wildfire Wildland Urban Interface Risk Class

A structure density feature class from the 2020 Wildland Urban Interface project was used as the starting point for this feature class. Only density polygons of class 3 or greater were used. These are 25 or more structures per square kilometer.

The structure density polygons were buffered at 2.75km and merged to create polygons where the structure density was greater than or equal to 25 structures per square kilometer. These polygons were spatially joined to a point communities feature class and a community name was transferred to the polygons. Where multiple communities were within the same polygon a priority system based mainly on community size was used to determine a community name. Where no community was within the polygon a near process was run to determine the closest community. Where discrete polygons had the same community name a unique value was appended to the name to make all the names unique. 

In the densely populated urban areas the polygons were very large and enclosed multiple communities. In these cases a manual process of splitting the polygons was used to create smaller community polygons. 

The result is a feature class of 574 community polygons with unique names.
