Provincial Oversight of Water, Streams, Wetlands and Riparian Areas

Whereas the Province has oversight through applications, permitting and leases for works in and around water, streams, wetlands and riparian areas; And whereas the timelines for the completion of these processes are now extended to the point of hardship for communities and property owners: Therefore be it resolved that UBCM ask the Province to commit additional resources to oversight processes for works in and around water, streams, wetlands and riparian areas, to reduce timelines and increase responsiveness to communities needs.
