This report provides the B.C. Ministry of Environment, Lands & Parks (BCE) with a review of cattle farming in the Skeena Region, and a recommendation for monitoring the impact of cattle and other livestock operations on community watersheds, including...

This report is part of BC Hydro's transmission line from Terrace to Kitimat planning process to identify potential Project effects and proposed mitigation for biophysical or socio-economic study topic.

This study's objective was to develop and map metrics that delineate the areas of the Skeena River and its tributaries most vulnerable to potential pipeline spills associated with the proposed Enbridge corridor to Kitimat, BC.

A restoration/rehabilitation plan was developed that recommended and initiated measures to address community concerns by supplying survey and design for rehabilitation work, while providing community involvement and focus through trail development and...

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...

The overall goal of this scan is to inform a shared vision for water monitoring and reporting in BC. This scan collected information on surface and groundwater quality and quantity monitoring and reporting in British Columbia, providing examples of who is...

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....

The purpose of this report is to provide an indication of the net economic value of the fisheries stocks in the Bulkley river system. This is done by assessing current and future values of recreational, commercial and, to some degree, Indigenous fishing...

The upper Bulkley River system, near Houston, was first assessed by the Fish Habitat Improvement Section in 1981. The initial assessment identified probably areas of importance for steelhead recruitment and juvenile rearing. In 1982 an index sampling...

The Equity Silver Mine operated between 1980 and 1994, producing silver, gold, and copper from three open pits and a small underground operation. Mine components include a flooded tailings impoundment constructed from till and waste and quarried rock. This...

Telkwa Coal Limited (TCL) is proposing to develop the Tenas Project (the Project), a surface coal mine designed to produce approximately 15.0 million tonnes of washed metallurgical coal product at about 0.750 million saleable tonnes per year to be used in...

Samples were collected for the first time from a watercourse on the proposed project site on the north side of the Telkwa, and from sites on the Telkwa River and Goathorn Creek which were previously sampled in 1988. Samples were also collected from the...

The report contains a concise summary report outlining the findings of this study on the potential impact of coal and coal contaminated sediments on marine life.

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 provides a basis for the design phase of an environmental effects monitoring program (EEM) for Repap's pulp and paper mill, Skeena Cellulose Inc., located near Prince Rupert, British Columbia. The pre-design document is essentially a "State of...

The purpose of this design document is to summarize and update mill process information and results from previous cycles and other studies, and to provide a rationale for the design of the Cycle Three program. Five elements of the EEM program will be...

In summary, the risk assessments identified COCs in soil that may have potential to cause adverse effects, especially to soil invertebrates and plants, although this is principally a theoretical risk owing to important habitat limitations in the most...

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

This report attempts to provide a preliminary review of the some of the possible impacts, monitoring, and mitigation measures for many of the pollution issues including sewage and waste disposal, mining and smelter activities, various large industrial...
