Re: Railway Protection Force sub inspector question paper

Hi, as you want the question paper of railway protection force sub inspector Allahabad so here I am providing you

Railway Protection Force sub inspector question paper

Question 1 (Essay)

You have been tasked with conducting a visual assessment on a series of blocks along a travel
corridor frequented by the public. This is a known scenic area with an established Visual Quality
Objective (VQO). You begin the design process and run into difficulties. There are few defined
viewpoints along the corridor and your instinct tells you the blocks may exceed the alteration limits
for the established VQO.
How would you proceed and what would you consider?
(10 marks)


Question 2 (Essay)

Based on results of pre-harvest field inspections of a proposed cutblock within a Forest Licence,
you expect severe non-crop vegetation competition following harvesting. You know that local
groups are opposed to the use of herbicides. Your preliminary costing indicates that using a nonherbicide
approach will cost 50% more than a herbicide treatment. What factors will you consider in
deciding how to proceed? What are the legal rights and responsibilities of the forest licensee?
What are the legal rights of the local groups? What advice will you give your employer concerning
how to proceed? (10 marks)

Question 3 (Essay)

In a recent group of decisions (2004-FOR-020 (a) and 2004-FOR-025(a)) the Forest Appeal
Commission (FAC) was asked to interpret the wording of the Silviculture Regulation (BC Reg.
147/88) relating to stocking standards. At issue was whether two blocks had met the target
stocking obligations of the prescription even though there were significant areas in each of the
blocks that were either under or over stocked. However, if the number of trees in the blocks were
averaged at the standard unit level of stratification, they met the free growing target number of
trees prescribed.
The licensee argued that the words “per hectare” of the Silviculture Regulation which describes
stocking standards as a measure of the “…target number and the minimum number of healthy well
spaced trees per hectare…” means an average number of trees over the standard unit and
therefore that it had met its free growing obligations. The Ministry of Forests argued that the
wording of the regulation means that the target number of trees must be found in each and every
hectare of the opening and that the licensee had not met its free growing obligations.
The FAC determined that the words “per hectare” in the part of the regulation describes stocking
standards as a specification of the [Section 2(2) (j)] means an average over the entire treatment or
standard unit.

Preparing free growing declarations is the practice of professional forestry because it requires the
person signing the declaration to exercise professional judgement and opinion when determining
whether the stand of trees subject to the declaration has reached free growing status. As a
professional forester, you will be called upon to sign free growing declarations for openings subject
to this regulation.
Taking into account the FAC decision, your knowledge of the intent and wording of the regulation,
and your obligations as a professional under the Foresters Act and bylaws, what do you do when
asked to prepare free growing declarations for openings created under the Silviculture Regulation?
What implications might your decisions have on timber supply assumptions and for the concept of
greater reliance on professional judgement and accountability? (10 marks)

Question 4 (Essay)

a) There are both social and economic reasons for self-regulated professions. Discuss. (6 marks)
b) What will change in your day-to-day work as you make the transition from an enrolled to a
registered member? Why? (2 marks)
c) The Association has published Standards of Professional Practice and interpretive guidelines for
those standards. Why are they important? (2 marks)

Question 5 (Essay)

As an RPF and Statutory Decision Maker, you may be working in a jurisdiction in BC where you
are faced with a similar situation to the one outlined below:
1. You have designated Wildlife Management Areas in the past to address habitat
requirements for a federally identified species-at-risk.
2. Your Timber Supply Area (TSA) has been apportioned to several licensees and no area
remains that is not already located within the chart area of any one licensee.
3. Research and new information has identified that areas previously identified as Wildlife
Management Areas are in fact, not critical to the maintenance of the species-at-risk of
concern. Instead, areas already under approved Cutting Permits have now been identified
as being of critical importance to the survival of the species-at-risk.
4. Species-At-Risk Act (SARA) recovery teams are working on new guidelines for
management for the species in your operating area, however, they are not as yet available
to you.
You are considering negotiating with licensees to move operations from the areas with approved
Cutting Permits back into Wildlife Management Areas which are now known to be no longer
needed to maintain the species. The SARA recovery team working on the species recovery plan
has identified the previously designated Wildlife Management Areas as needed for recovery of the
species (other than maintenance).
