This report outlines results from three years of RCA model development for the Skeena Region. It includes the development of standard methods for collecting and analyzing data for use in the RCA for bio monitoring in the Skeena region, results of...

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,...

Upper Bulkley fish and aquatic review: stream flow, surface water licenses and groundwater wells. 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...

This habitat report card was developed by the Pacific Salmon Foundation with technical support from ESSA Technologies. This project summarizes pressures on habitat used by Skeena sockeye for migration, spawning, and rearing, as well as their relative...

In 1999, the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks surveyed portions of the Upper Skeena River and Kispiox Rivers during September 1999 for juvenile steelhead and fry and parr abundance. This report summarizes the results of those surveys and provides a...

Northern Gateway Pipelines Limited Partnership proposed to design, construct, and operate two pipelines extending from Bruderheim, Alberta, to Kitimat, British Columbia. Field surveys completed included sampling of fish species assemblages and habitat...

The 1977 aspect of the Suskwa River project began in July and continued until freeze-up in November. Fish were sampled either with "Gees" traps or by angling. The inventory crew switched to a casual creel survey and an adult steelhead tagging program during...

During 1974, Environment Canada undertook an additional study of the watershed adjacent to Equity Mining Capital Ltd.'s proposed development near Goosly Lake to supplement water quality baselines established in 1973. Chemistry analysis and 96 hour LC50...

This report discusses the attempts that British Columbians are making in the effort to protect and manage salmon habitat. They also describe the relevant legislation, policy, and regulation, science and technology, as well as government and "stakeholder"...

The objectives of this plan are three-fold. First, the plan describes the methods that will be used to quantify the amount of compensatory fish habitat needed to offset the harmful alteration, disruption, or destruction (HADD) resulting from the Project....

This report summarizes the results of the stream assessments, which were completed between July 14 and October 22, 2008. All evaluated drainages are within the Babine Lake (BABL), Babine River (BABR), Bulkley River (BULK), Francois Lake (FRAN), Morice River...

An overwintering study was conducted over three winters (November 1998 to March 2001) in the Upper Bulkley and Toboggan Creek watersheds in north-central British Columbia. The study area includes the lower portion of the Upper Bulkley watershed upstream of...

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...

Juvenile coho, chinook, and rainbow trout/steelhead were sampled for the second and third consecutive years in Buck Creek using a rotary screw trap RST. The RST was sampled nightly to collect data on discharge, water temperature, and trap performance were...

This study reviews physical watershed characteristics, historical stream flow, and climatic data relevant to the Telkwa watershed. A simple modelling exercise is done to show the possible worst case effects of various degrees of forest harvesting on the...

This pre-impact habitat assessment was conducted on June 30, 1994 to identify and evaluate fish habitat along the proposed route associated with this project.

Forest Renewal BC is implementing fish and fish habitat inventories to provide information required for resource planning. Triton's goals were to describe fish distributions and habitat characteristics, and to provide stream classifications according to the...

Excel Energy Inc. planned to construct an oil pipeline in the area of the Birch oil field in northeastern British Columbia. The project involved the construction of approximately 36 kilometres of pipeline for the purpose of transporting crude oil from...

This study quantifies the inputs of phosphorus from various sources and determines the extent to which additional phosphorus could be tolerated by each lake without a serious decrease in water quality. Based on this information, appropriate land uses and...

This Bulkley fish passage assessment is part of a larger regional effort to improve fish passage limited by highways and secondary roads throughout the Skeena Basin. The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish...
