Information Bulletin Number 6 - October 1st, 2003
Copying Permit Report Review Comments to Clients
The Archaeology Branch has received correspondence from permit-holders
seeking clarification with respect to the circumstances under which
report review comments are copied to their clients.
Taking the concerns expressed into account, the branch has decided
not to provide detailed review comments to clients, unless they request
them. However, clients may be notified when deficiencies in permit reports
result in delays in the provision of management direction, the processing
of applications for site alteration permits, and associated development
or resource extraction activities. This notice will be sent to clients
in cases where permit reports persistently fail to provide sufficient
information for the branch to formulate archaeological resource management
requirements or determine whether permit terms and conditions have been
met. Detailed review comments will not ordinarily be included in these
notifications, but may be provided to clients who request additional
information.
Development permitting agencies such as the Ministry of Forests and
the Oil and Gas Commission may, depending on their information requirements,
be provided with notifications and/or detailed review comments on a
routine basis.
