In Compliance: a ‘positive’ assessment provided to an operation or activity as to its status after consideration of all applicable laws, regulations, manuals, rules and requirements. All inspected activities are consistent with standards. For reporting purposes, compliant activities will include matters, which have been assessed as less than perfect due to operational problems and accompanied by a clear explanation and rationale. IN Compliance With Comments (ICWC), is a status given to inspections, which are assessed to be not fully compliant but not severe enough to warrant a non-compliant status. While still considered to be infractions, they are characterized as being of a minor nature or a minor variance to standards without compromising the intent or integrity of the standard or value being protected. Such assessment is considered reasonable under certain circumstances in consideration of such things as complexity of forest operations, geography and physical conditions. In all cases, the compliance inspector must provide clear rationale for such assessments and indicate that measures can be taken to improve or overcome such issues in the future. Reports of ICWC are ‘counted’ in the totals for compliant reports. Not In Compliance (or Non-Compliance): a ‘negative’ assessment provided to an operation or activity as to its status after consideration of all applicable laws, regulations, manuals, rules and requirements. One or more activities are found to be contrary to applicable laws, regulations, manuals, rules and requirements or standards.

Issues • Comments can cover discussions that have occurred between Industry and MNR • Actions taken by Industry (Industry input) • Actions that need to take place • Remedies and enforcement taken by MNR • Comments on Impacts provide by District Staff i.e. Bio Forester etc Once Issues are saved they are now public record
