TANTALIS - Crown Land Reserves and Notations

TA_CROWN_RSRV_NOTATIONS_SVW contains the spatial representation (polygon) of active and applied for Reserves and Notations. Reserves are a particular type of crown land tenure that grants an agency the right to implement a restriction on the use of crown land. Federal and Provincial government agencies and corporations may apply for the establishment of Land Act Reserves over high value sites required for public purposes, including research and education. Depending on the type of reserve (Order in Council, Map Reserve, Land Act Designation (which can be designated use or prohibitive use) and Notation of Interest) the area is withdrawn from disposition under the Land Act. The view was created to provide a simplified presentation of this single tenure type from the disposition information in the Tantalis operational system. The same content could be derived from the TA_CROWN_TENURES_SVW by filtering to this tenure type only

Wildlife Habitat Areas - Proposed

Wildlife habitat areas (WHAs) are mapped areas that are necessary to meet the habitat requirements of an Identified Wildlife element. WHAs designate critical habitats in which activities are managed to limit their impact on the Identified Wildlife element for which the area was established. The purpose of WHAs is to conserve those habitats considered most limiting to a given Identified Wildlife element. This dataset contains proposed WHAs for the entire province except for the Omenica Region as there are none in the consultation phase at this time

Fulmars, Shearwaters and Petrels - Coastal Resource Information Management System (CRIMS)

Distribution of fulmar, shearwater and petrel bird species habitat in coastal British Columbia showing relative abundance (RA) by season and overall relative importance (RI). RI is based on project region and not on the province as a whole. CRIMS is a legacy dataset of BC coastal resource data that was acquired in a systematic and synoptic manner from 1979 and was intermittently updated throughout the years. Resource information was collected in nine study areas using a peer-reviewed provincial Resource Information Standards Committee consisting of DFO Fishery Officers, First Nations, and other subject matter experts. There are currently no plans to update this legacy data.

Land Research Tool

This application allows users to interactively view Crown land interest data layers and explore land parcels. It is intended to be used as a research tool to assist land research on interests on British Columbia Crown land. The tool can be used to view Crown land interest data, imagery, add your own data, and print maps. This application does not include all interests on Crown land. Rather, it provides a curated selection of publicly available data. Only publicly available interest layers are included. No confidential layers are displayed. User-added data is only accessible to the individual who adds it. This data is stored temporarily and will not persist if the user clears their browser cache. Due to volume of data included layers may take time to load. To improve draw time, zoom in as closely as possible to your area of interest. Data is sourced live from the BC Geographic Warehouse, which may occasionally experience temporary outages. The information presented on this map is provided without prejudice for the purposes of land research. It is subject to revision and does not constitute a legal definition.

Seed Planning Unit Geometry

Seed Planning Unit (SPU) geometry is comprised of Seed Planning Zone geometry delineated by elevation ranges. Each SEED_PLAN_UNIT_ID relates to a SEED_PLAN_ZONE for a specific tree species and minimum/maximum elevation in meters. Seed Planning Units only apply to Genetic Class A (orchard/parent tree). Some coastal species also have a latitude range. The geometry can be joined to the SEED_PLAN_UNIT table using SEEED_PLAN_UNIT_ID to determine the Seed Planning Zone, tree species and elevation range.

The tenure holder also has the right to exclude or charge the public for use of the land and/or improvements, when this is consistent with the terms of the lease. Crown Leases require a (cadastral) survey prior to issuance

BC Wildfire Fire Locations - Current

Wildfire location points for the current fire season. This includes both active and inactive fires. Data is supplied through various sources and is updated from the operational systems every 15 minutes. These points are rolled over to Historical Fire Points on April 1 of each year.

British Columbia Regional Flood Frequency Analysis Web Application

This ArcGIS Online application displays the hydrometric stations and accompanying drainage areas analyzed as part of Bulletin 2020-1-RFFA described below. A frequency analysis was conducted on Annual Maximum Series (AMS) streamflow data collected at Water Survey of Canada (WSC) and United States Geological Survey (USGS) hydrometric gauge stations that met the following criteria for inclusion in the Bulletin 2020-1-RFFA study: at least 10 years or data (with 350 or more days of observations) above the low outlier threshold; less than 20% (by basin drainage area) regulation; a corresponding basin polygon dataset (either supplied or delineated) with an area <15% different than the basin area reported by WSC or USGS; full metadata coverage for the basin (e.g. mean annual precipitation, elevation, etc.); and 1-, 3-, 5-, and -10 day distribution fits that did not overlap for any Average Recurrence Interval’s (ARI) above 2 years. The analysis was conducted by Northwest Hydraulic Consultants and RTI International Inc. for the Water Management Branch of FLNRORD. The geographic area of the dataset is shown in Bulletin 2020-1-RFFA and consists of all of British Columbia and selected watersheds around the perimeter of the province. There are 3 datasets within this project consisting of: • Hydrometric station locations of the stations that were analyzed as part of the study. • The drainage areas of the respective hydrometric stations that were analyzed. • The BC Hydrologic Zones that were extended outside of BC.
