At the request of Skeena Cellulose Inc. Carnaby Division, a Watershed Assessment of the Kits Creek watershed was conducted by Freshwater Resources of Smithers, B.C. The assessment was conducted because the Kits creek watershed is the Community Watershed for the village of Kitseguecla and as such is mandated a Watershed Assessment under the Forest Practices Code. Proposed forest development in the watershed was planned using the best available information at the time. The goal of the assessment is to assess the current hydrologic state of the watershed, review any proposed forest development and identify the possible hydrologic implications of that proposed development.
