April 14, 2012 |
The Idaho Forest Practices Act Advisory
Committee (FPAAC) will meet via videoconference
from the Idaho Department of Lands (IDL) Coeur
d’Alene office and the Boise IDL Director’s
Office on Tuesday, April 24.
The purpose of FPAAC, as established by Idaho
Code, is to provide technical assistance to IDL
and the Idaho State Board of Land Commissioners
(Land Board) in matters relating to the Idaho
Forest Practices Act.
The committee typically meets two or three times
per year depending on current issues. It is
comprised of nine voting members appointed by
the IDL director for three-year terms. Members
include a fisheries biologist; a nonindustrial
private forest landowner; two forest landowners,
one from northern Idaho and one from southern
Idaho; two forest operators, one from northern
Idaho and one from southern Idaho; two informed
citizens from northern and southern Idaho; and
an at-large member.
The FPAAC agenda includes updates on the work of
the FPAAC Shade Subcommittee to modify the
minimum-shade rule and the streamside-retention
rule. The meeting also will include discussion
regarding several Forest Practices Act
administrative rule changes proposed to be
promulgated in 2012.
The meeting will begin at 8:30 a.m. (Pacific
time) in the Sundance East conference room in
the Coeur d’Alene office, and the Garnet West
conference room in the Boise office.
The IDL Coeur d’Alene office is located at 3284
W. Industrial Loop in Coeur d’Alene. The Boise
IDL Director’s Office is located at 300 N. 6th
Street.
The public is invited to the meeting and an RSVP
