Legally established and spatially defined areas of old growth forest that are identified during landscape unit planning or an operational planning process. Forest licensees are required to maintain legally established OGMAs when preparing FSPs. OGMAs, in combination with other areas where forestry development is prevented or constrained, are used to achieve biodiversity targets. This spatial view will show the most current polygons and excludes sensitive information. This Legal 'Current' layer is freely downloadable. This data is represented in iMapBC by 2 layers: Legal Old Growth Management Areas - Current, Old Growth Management Areas - Legal. Note - See the accuracy and usage WARNING in the Identification: Supplemental Information.

Object Description

Object Name: WHSE_LAND_USE_PLANNING.RMP_OGMA_LEGAL_CURRENT_SVW

Short Name: OGMA_LEG_C
Comments: Legally established and spatially defined areas of old growth forest that are identified during landscape unit planning or an operational planning process. Forest licensees are required to maintain legally established Old Growth Management Areas (OGMAs) when preparing FSPs. OGMAs, in combination with other areas where forestry development is prevented or constrained, are used to achieve biodiversity targets. This spatial view will show the most current areas and exclude the sensitive information.

Column Name	Short Name	Data Type	Data Precision	Comments
LEGAL_OGMA_INTERNAL_ID	LGL_GM__ID	NUMBER	10	LEGAL OGMA INTERNAL ID. A unique, static user maintained identifier used for quality control and quality assurance reporting purposes.
LEGAL_OGMA_PROVID	LGL_GM_PRD	VARCHAR2	20	LEGAL OGMA PROVID. A provincial identifier assigned to the old growth management area. Unique for any polygon (or collection of polygons for OGMAs managed with distinct attribute values) that does not have a retirement date. Not unique for polygon features with multiple retirements. This identifier stays with the polygon feature over time as the feature changes.
OGMA_TYPE	OGMA_TYPE	VARCHAR2	5	OGMA TYPE. This attribute contains a text field showing coded values that provide additional information to identify OGMA types. Coded values may differ by plan area and region. Currently, only OGMAs within the Cariboo Chilcotin Land Resource Management Plan area (PERM = PERMANENT, TRANS = TRANSITION, ROT =ROTATING coding), and Kootenay Higher Boundary Plan area (categories 1-4 coding) are utilizing this non-mandatory field.
OGMA_PRIMARY_REASON	OGM_PRMRYN	VARCHAR2	50	OGMA PRIMARY REASON. Non sensitive version of the primary reason for specifying the management area (examples: UWR, FEN, FISH).
LEGALIZATION_FRPA_DATE	LGLZTN_FRE	DATE	7	LEGALIZATION FRPA DATE: The date when the OGMA FRPA legal order was approved (signed-off) by the Minister, Regional Executive Director, or other person with delegated authority.
LEGALIZATION_OGAA_DATE	LGLZTN_G_E	DATE	7	LEGALIZATION OGAA DATE: The date when the OGAA (Oil & Gas Activities Act) legal order was approved (signed-off) by the Oil & Gas Commission (OGC) person with delegated authority.
LAST_AMENDMENT_DATE	LST_MNDMNE	DATE	7	LAST AMENDMENT DATE A non-mandatory date field to indicate the date the OGMA polygon was last amended.
ASSOCIATED_ACT_NAME	ASSCTD_CTM	VARCHAR2	240	ASSOCIATED ACT NAME: Used to identify the legislation act name associated with the polygon (FRPA, OGAA or FRPA;OGAA).
GIS_CHANGE_DATE	GS_CHNG_DE	DATE	7	GIS CHANGE DATE: A mandatory date field to indicate the date the OGMA polygon was updated by the GIS Change Person.
GIS_CHANGE_PERSON	GS_CHNG_PN	VARCHAR2	20	GIS CHANGE PERSON: A mandatory text field to indicate the technical GIS person who physically made a change to the OGMA polygon. This GIS task is typically resulting from direction received from the business area "Initiator of Change".
CHANGE_REASON	CHNG_RSN	VARCHAR2	100	CHANGE REASON A text field to indicate the business reason for initiating a change in a OGMA polygon.
INITIATOR_OF_CHANGE	INTTR_F_CE	VARCHAR2	20	INITIATOR OF CHANGE Person in the business area who has requested change(s) to be made to a OGMA polygon.
ENABLING_DOCUMENT_TITLE	ENBLNG_DCE	VARCHAR2	275	ENABLING DOCUMENT TITLE is the title of the legal order that enabled the strategic land or resource use plan or specific objective to come into legal force, or other document which confirms the plan or objective as policy of government. The document describes the objective and often contains additional management direction for accomplishing the objective which may affect use of natural resources. Example: “Ministerial Order: Land use Objectives for the Cariboo-Chilcotin Land Use Area”
ENABLING_DOCUMENT_URL	ENBLNG_DCL	VARCHAR2	254	ENABLING DOCUMENT URL is the link for the document which enabled the legal or policy land or resource objective to come into force. Documents are stored in a variety of file formats and may be large files as many contain maps.
FEATURE_CODE	FEATURE_CD	VARCHAR2	10	FEATURE CODE contains a value based on the Canadian Council of Surveys and Mapping's (CCSM) system for classification of geographic features.
FEATURE_AREA_SQM	FEAT_AREA	NUMBER	19	FEATURE_AREA_SQM is the system calculated area of a two-dimensional polygon in square meters
FEATURE_LENGTH_M	FEAT_LEN	NUMBER	19	FEATURE_LENGTH_M is the system calculated length or perimeter of a geometry in meters
GEOMETRY	GEOMETRY	SDO_GEOMETRY	64	GEOMETRY is the column used to reference the spatial coordinates defining the feature.
OBJECTID	OBJECTID	NUMBER	38	OBJECTID is a column required by spatial layers that interact with ESRI ArcSDE. It is populated with unique values automatically by SDE.
SE_ANNO_CAD_DATA		BLOB	4000	SE_ANNO_CAD_DATA is a binary column used by spatial tools to store annotation, curve features and CAD data when using the SDO_GEOMETRY storage data type.
