This report presents the response to the 3rd Party Review of the Environmental Assessment for the Morrison Copper/Gold Project. The 3rd Party Review was requested by the Environmental Assessment Office and was mainly directed towards the hydrogeology, water...

This operational plan is the initial product of a partnership between the Office of the Wet’suwet’en and the Province of British Columbia to develop a water monitoring and assessment system for the recently established Morice Water Management Area (MWMA).

A survey investigating the fish, and especially the steelhead values, of the small feeder creeks of the Morice River was conducted from August 6-15, 1975. The biological data included fish species present, invertebrates, in-stream and bank vegetation,...

Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) conducted a hydroacoustic survey of McDonell Lake in 2008. The main objectives of this survey were to enumerate and sample the juvenile sockeye fry population and to estimate the species composition and relative...

This lake survey evaluates Maxan Lake. Elements included are the location, physical characteristics, and water quality of the lake, the species present, and the surrounding anthropogenic activities.

To facilitate safe manoeuvring and berthing of vessels, capital dredging of marine sediment and rock will be required at two berth areas, located south of Frederick Point, and at the Materials Off-Loading Facility. The data presented herein will be used to...

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.

Oceanographic surveys were conducted from 1957 to 1967 in a number of the inlets along the west coast of Vancouver Island, and on the north coast of British Columbia, in order to study the effects of existing pulp mills and to predict the effects of...

Buckley Lake was sampled September 8-10, 2003 by Skeena Region Fisheries staff in an effort to address: 1) rainbow trout history characteristics; and 2) provide advice to Skeena Region Protected Areas staff on the sensitivity of the population to angler...

This study assesses the water quality of Lakelse Lake. A summary report and detailed technical appendix are included. Report published February 1986.

In 2003, Fisheries and Oceans Canada personnel carried out a study of the limnology and fish ecology of Lakelse Lake. A similar study was also carried out in 1994. The focus of the study was on juvenile sockeye rearing habitat, which is the offshore portion...

Seymour Lake was surveyed in August, 1958 for information regarding its physical qualities and the life it supports.

Lake Kathlyn is tested for dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH, alkalinity, total chlorine, water temperature and Secchi depth. Explore and download water quality data results on the Water Rangers website.

The purpose of these studies is to undertake coho smolt enumeration at Km 1010 and 1011 in the Bulkley River, to compare mark-and-recapture population estimates, and to measure the extent and timing of fry and yearlong immigration into the two pond...

In recent years, studies in the upper Bulkley River upstream of Houston have noted elevated levels of bacteria, nutrients and attached algae (periphyton). A 1992 fisheries study in the upper Bulkley at Houston found fish species composition was dominated by...

A groundwater study was conducted from May 15, 2007 to August 07, 2007 on a small groundwater channel (GWC) located on private property near Proctor Road just east of Smithers, B C. For the purpose of this report, this groundwater channel is referred to as...

This project assessed key pressures on salmon habitat in the Skeena River estuary. The authors used benchmarks to assess the status of salmon habitat indicators and identified critical knowledge gaps and future monitoring needs.

The Habitat Restoration and Salmon Enhancement Program (HRSEP) was established in 1996/97 to complement the Pacific Salmon Revitalization Strategy. The main objective of the federally funded HRSEP is to revitalize salmonid populations in British Columbia...

The purpose of this study was to collect data to determine how beaver dams might affect coho populations in tributaries of the Kispiox River, and to provide a review of the literature on the effects of beaver activity on salmonid populations.
