In addition to the above access control points, secondary and tertiary roads throughout the plan
area should be decommissioned following completion of planting, to the extent that motorized
traffic is not practical or is prohibited. An emphasis will be placed in areas that contain a mosaic
or a concentration of high value grizzly bear habitat (see Map 7, page 72). All secondary and
tertiary roads in the Shenismike-West access management zone that are on the south side of the
primary road should be deactivated to the extent that it inhibits foot travel. This can be done
through the building of winter roads only, with high stumps, right-of-way slash and logging slash
pulled back on to the road following completion of operations.
