For this project, existing fish passage information in the Bulkley River watershed located near Smithers, British Columbia, was reviewed in order to prioritize and rank culverts for further assessment and/or rehabilitation. A detailed review and...

The purpose of the 2008 Kispiox River Watershed, Forestry Road Crossing Assessment Project was to protect fish habitat by identifying stream crossings within the Cullon, Ironside, and Lower Kispiox Watersheds that are producing road related sediment that...

The BC Land Based Investment (LBI) fish passage program is focused on remediating stream crossings that impede freshwater fish migration. The most common barrier to fish is improperly designed and installed closed bottom structures such as culverts....

This habitat report card was developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena sockeye for migration, spawning, and rearing, as well as their relative...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for more information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition of these lakes. The intent of this project was to survey fish...

Recent reports of serious declines of the rainbow trout sport fishery in this region have created a need for information on the annual recruitment and relative species composition at these lakes. The intent of this project was to survey fish communities,...

Gilmore Lake was surveyed as part of the Burns Lake-Houston small lakes project in which a total of 10 lakes were examined. All of the lakes historically supported rainbow trout sport fisheries, but the fishery has declined over the last five to ten years....

The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage inspections along the B.C. Rail grade located in the upper Skeena Watershed. In 2007, Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) was retained by the Pacific Salmon...

A stream assessment study was conducted between July and August 2007 for several creeks in the Bulkley River watershed east of Houston, British Columbia. The study area consisted of five creeks of interest - Richfield Creek, Johnny David Creek, Byman Creek,...

The Upper Bulkley Fish and Aquatic Review project produced a set of analyses focused on select pressure and quantity indicators as determined by the Wild Salmon Policy Strategy 2. Pressure Indicators included are Road Density, Riparian Disturbance, and...

The objectives of this project are to re-establish and maintain the original stream channel, protect fish habitat, maintain fish passage and maintain 4wheel drive recreational access.

In 2005, the Skeena Fisheries Commission was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged stream crossings distinguished with fish presence along Highway #16 between Terrace and Prince...

Points where a barrier to fish passage has been rectified or remediated. This is the third phase in the process and can only follow after (1) an assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and has found that structure to be a barrier to...

Points where an evaluation of the fish habitat up and downstream of a road crossing have been carried out. Phase 2 of 4 in the Fish Passage Workflow, Habitat Confirmations are done at sites where the crossing structure is known to be a failure. The Habitat...

The Provincial Obstacles to Fish Passage theme presents records of all known obstacles to fish passage from several fisheries datasets including the Fisheries Information Summary System (FISS); the Fish Habitat Inventory and Information Program (FHIIP); the...

Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure. These includes culverts, bridges, fords, etc. The assessments are carried out to determine whether fish are able to migrate through the structure.

Points where a fish passage assessment has been performed on a stream crossing structure and found to be a failure. Design points have been identified as a priority for remediation based on a variety of potential criteria: quality of habitat upstream,...

This environmental effects assessment, like the effects assessment provided in the 2007 EAC Application, is a sustainability-based environmental assessment that considers five interconnected and interdependent “pillars” which are environment, economy,...
