Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa River....

The setting of water quality objectives in priority basins in British Columbia began in 1982. By the end of 2002, the Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection had set water quality objectives in 51 areas or basins and updated them throughout the...

This report includes an assessment of present water quality, a prediction of future water quality, recommended water uses that should be protected, and recommended monitoring to check whether those objectives are being met and to develop future objectives.

Predominantly all wastes, both tailing and blasted rock, contain pyrite and are classified acid generating. Acid generation occurs within waste rock fills around the property however not within tailing thus far due to sub- aqueous disposal of the product....

Studies were undertaken during 1984 to evaluate aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and the lower Telkwa...

This report assess present water quality of the mainstem Bulkley and Morice Rivers, to predict future water quality, and to recommend water uses that should be protected, and to recommend provisional water quality objectives to protect those uses.

This historical report includes: (i) an assessment of water quality using available information (up to April, 1984) on waste discharges, water quality, streamflows, and water uses; (ii) a prediction of future water quality, considering future waste...

This document contains information about Buckley lake habitat quality. Information recorded includes physical, chemical, temperature, oxygen, obstruction and pollutions, stocking, access, and habitation data. Maps and images are also included.

This report provides a review of the Environmental Effects Monitoring Program (EEMP) at ten BC coastal pulp mills and evaluates the ability of current and past EEMPs at these ten locations to generate data suitable for detecting long-term trends.

This report summarizes available information on selected chemical and physical parameters of Babine Lake. The information has been reviewed in order to understand long term effects of a possible permanent copper mine tailings pond supernatant discharge into...

This study quantifies the inputs of phosphorus from various sources and determines the extent to which additional phosphorus could be tolerated by each lake without a serious decrease in water quality. Based on this information, appropriate land uses and...

Sampling at fish index sites was conducted at five locations in Foxy and Buck creeks for Equity Silver Mines Ltd. from September 1988 to 1991.

Approximately 800 000 m3 of acid mine drainage (AMD) is generated per year at the Equity Silver Mine southeast of Houston. This AMD would have devastating effects on the Bulkley River if it was allowed to flow untreated from the property for a prolonged...

This report presents data collected from June 1979 to April 1982 relating to water quality, sediment, organic and trace metal content, and benthic invertebrates from the vicinity of the B.C. Timber pulp mill, Porpoise Harbour.

Field studies assessing fish and benthic invertebrate populations in Foxy Creek, a small stream located in north central British Columbia near Houston, were undertaken in late August and September 1984. As well, benthic invertebrate populations were...

This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in McQuarrie Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This included oxygen and temperature profiles, water chemistry data, obstructions,...

This report is the result of studies undertaken in 1984 that evaluated aquatic resources in the Telkwa Project study area in west-central British Columbia. Stream periphyton, invertebrates, and fish populations were assessed in Goathorn and Tenas creeks and...

A report on the effects of the seepage and spill contaminates from Equity Silver Mine, near Houston, on lake water quality and biota in Goosly Lake.

This survey presents physical data of Seymour Lake. This includes terrain features, access, resorts and campsites, obstructions and pollutions, developments, aquatic plants, species present, lake drainage, water chemistry, and special restrictions.
