Fibre Recovery/Incremental Haul – North Thompson and North Adams Lake

These projects allow for fibre recovery and enhanced utilization of primarily hemlock low-grade pulp logs. The location of the fibre is beyond the economic haul radius, therefore the recovery of the fibre is normally not affordable. FESBC funding supports the transportation of fibre from outside of the normal haul radius which facilitates fibre utilization and avoids open burning of the logging slash piles. This also results in an opportunity to reduce carbon emissions through avoiding burning which creates an immediate release of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
