NEBC Riparian Reserve Zone Annual Status
The Riparian Reserve Zone Annual Status dataset (NEBC_RRZ_CURRENT_COND_PY) was developed by the BC Energy Regulator for mapping riparian reserves and analysis disturbance by Water Management Basins across Northeast BC.
The BCER NEBC Annual Status datasets are updated and published annually by the BC Energy Regulator to evaluate the level of disturbance in designated areas in northeast BC. This information is useful in operational planning and decision making to support consideration of land use and material adverse effect. The Riparian Reserve Zones dataset provides a spatial representation of riparian areas and reports riparian disturbance at the water management basin level for consideration under Environmental Protection and Management Regulation. The riparian data is sourced from the Fresh Water Atlas. Field validation of this data is encouraged in development planning.
