Wood waste reform eyed as oil and gas clash with forestry
Alaska Highway News reports Minister Rich Coleman says wood waste in the bush will no longer be burned. Legislation will create a new tenure system and stumpage fees for waste material, enabling third parties to extract wood for bio energy and other products amid tensions with oil and gas activity in the Peace region. Chetwynd mayor Evan Langstad and Chief Roland Willson of West Moberly First Nations urge balanced, sustainable development as Canfor's Chetwynd mill downturn strains communities.
