textwidget\">\n\t<p>Implementation of the South Chilcotin Land and Resource Management Plan is primarily the responsibility of provincial regulatory agencies. ESPs are implemented through resource management decisions made by provincial statutory decision-makers. Aspects of the plan are also implemented through activities, projects and partnerships with licensees, tenure holders and area users.<\/p>\n<p>The rate of plan implementation by provincial agencies depends on staffing levels, budgets and legislated priorities. Successful implementation depends on regulatory agencies and project proponents incorporating appropriate, available and up-to-date information into project proposals and resource management decisions.<\/p>\n<p>This plan is intended to be a living document. It will need to respond to new scientific information and provincial policies (e.g., new inventories, changing legislation or regulations).<\/p>\n<p>Minor amendments will be made from time to time during plan implementation. If major changes are needed, government will provide appropriate opportunities for review and comment by interested groups and individuals.<\/p>\n<p>Publication of the plan coincides with ongoing discussions with First Nations concerning their interests in the plan area. These discussions will conclude before land use objectives and protected areas are legally established.<\/p>\n<p>An implementation strategy will be developed setting out the tasks and responsibilities of regulatory agencies and others involved in implementing the plan. Table 1 highlights priority actions. Many of these are also listed in the body of the plan.<\/p>\n<p>Funding has been arranged to support a plan monitoring committee for the first year of plan implementation.<\/p>\n<p>Monitoring will help the plan keep on track and achieve its goals. A monitoring framework will be developed that defines roles and responsibilities, consistent with legislation and policy.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div id=\"pg-1944-1\"  class=\"panel-grid panel-has-style\" ><div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-row-style panel-row-style-for-1944-1\" ><div id=\"pgc-1944-1-0\"  class=\"panel-grid-cell\" ><div id=\"panel-1944-1-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"3\" ><div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\"><h3 class=\"widget-title\">Table 1:<\/h3>\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n\t<h4>Implementation Tasks and Responsibilities<\/h4>\n<p>Note: Implementation tasks are subject to agency staff, budgets, and legislated priorities.<\/p>\n<table style=\"width: 100%;\"><!-- TITLE BAR --><\/p>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<th>Task<\/th>\n<th>Lead Agency<\/th>\n<th>Other Participants<\/th>\n<th>Comments<\/th>\n<th>Target Dates<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<p><!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Conclude discussions with First Nations to identify and address their interests in the ESP, commencing with proposed protected areas<\/td>\n<td>MSRM<\/td>\n<td>First Nations, WLAP (BC Parks) for protected areas<\/td>\n<td>To be concluded before legally establishing protected areas or land use objectives<\/td>\n<td>Complete by 2007 for proposed protected areas<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Develop implementation strategy<\/td>\n<td>MSRM<\/td>\n<td>Plan Monitoring Committee<\/td>\n<td>Indicates priorities for improving information and assigns responsibilities<\/td>\n<td>Commence by 2005<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Develop monitoring framework<\/td>\n<td>MSRM<\/td>\n<td>Plan Monitoring Committee<\/td>\n<td>Includes tracking of improvements in information<\/td>\n<td>Commence by 2005<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Initiate discussions with First Nations on their involvement in plan implementation and related projects<\/td>\n<td>MSRM<\/td>\n<td>First Nations<\/td>\n<td>Desired outcomes are written agreements that will foster information sharing and resource management<\/td>\n<td>Initiate in 2004<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<p><!-- ROW --><\/p>\n<tr>\n<td>Establish legal land use objectives as required<\/td>\n<td>MSRM<\/td>\n<td>Regulatory agencies;
