Aquatic Resource Baseline Studies Telkwa Coal Project 1997 - Draft 2

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 fish populations in the project area (Section 2). The studies improved the baseline data in specific areas so that it is relevant to the revised mine plans.
