The Northwest pilot has investigated a range of cumulative effect related topics as well as developed methods to assess impacts of industrial development on a selection of values at a broad spatial scale. The goal of the pilot was to improve the consistency...

Exploration during 2015 was designed to located and sample all historic showings and to map the old trenches, shafts and declines within the property. With an estimated 20,000 tons of dump material situated on the Main Zone and another 47 tons on the West...

This meteorology and hydrology baseline report summarizes results from 2006, 2007, and 2008 from the Davidson meteorology station and for 6 hydrometric stations established for the Davidson Project. It also includes available data from government operated...

Aquatic studies were conducted in the vicinity of the Telkwa Coal Project during 1997. These studies included updating baseline information describing the periphyton and benthic communities in Goathorn and Tenas creeks (Section 1), as well as studies of...

FO Habitat and Enhancement Branch initiated water quality monitoring in Toboggan Creek watershed in early 1996. Toboggan Creek is an important nursery stream for both wild and hatchery fish, primarily coho, pink, steelhead and Dolly Varden, with smaller...

This report is an update to WWF's initial Canadian-wide assessment of the country's watershed from 2017. This reassessment was only done for the health indicators (flow, water quality, benthic invertebrates and fish) as the threats assessment data sources...

This report by WWF-Canada is the first-ever national assessment on the health of and threats to freshwater in Canada. By identifying standard key health and threat indicators, WWF-Canada was able to explore the state of our streams and rivers and give...

In the Upper Bulkley and Morice basins of the Skeena watershed, climate change and human induced stresses are contributing to the degradation of aquatic resources, including salmon populations. It is apparent that collaborative efforts to better manage and...

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 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 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...

The Tenas Project Public Consultation Plan aims to capture past and future engagement activities between Telkwa Coal Limited (TCL) and the local community and stakeholders, identifying the issues the project may cause and responding to comments and...

The Application should be read in the context that it is the basis for the first major stage of the Environmental Assessment Process as it applies to new mine developments proposed for British Columbia. The purpose of the Application is to provide an...

Piteau Engineering Ltd. (PEL) was retained by Manalta Coal Ltd. (Manalta) to conduct a series of geotechnical and hydrogeological investigations in support of the proposed Telkwa Coal Project near Telkwa, B.C. The work program for this investigation was...

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...

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 Skeena Cumulative Effects Assessment (SCEA) documents the analysis of the cumulative effects of individual and multiple physical, biological and chemical stressors associated with human activities on three key species: eulachon, Chinook salmon and...

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...

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...
