In general, the study aimed to determine the timing of suspended sediment transport within the Telkwa watershed and isolate the sediment sources. This report presents sediment data collected between April and October 1990, preliminary conclusions, and...

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...

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...

This thesis analyzed the long term history of the salmon canning industry along the B.C. coast between 1870 and 1970 to understand the spatial pattern of the processing plants and some of the factors that controlled the pattern.

The objective of this project was to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory in several drainages in the Bulkley River watershed. This included portions of the Crow and Maxan Creek watersheds in addition to three small...

A juvenile fish sampling program was conducted during the first week of September after fry emergence and during the low-flow period. This study assesses juvenile fish populations in the lower Foxy Creek as part of an environmental monitoring program...

This report describes the results of a survey conducted to check the feasibility of using groundwater at the subject mill.

Natural Resource Stewardship Monitoring and Assessment Reports are a summary of existing resource value monitoring and assessment information for a given geographic area. Data in this report has been arranged into the following categories: fish and water,...
