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...

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...

Sixty-eight tributaries to the Bulkley River were examined by topographic maps and air photo interpretation to assess the degree and nature of the impacts on these streams by transportation and hydro-electric powerline corridors and...

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...
