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...

The project objectives for Maxan creek were to remove the Strimbold Bridge that is impacting fish habitat and likely a barrier to fish passage at some flows, and may pose an environmental risk if washed downstream due to flood event.

This report summarizes the salmon-bearing regions that would be intersected by the Enbridge Northern Gateway Project. It analyzes the potential effects of pipeline spills and development to spawning and rearing grounds and to migration.

This survey collected information about the fish species that are present in McQuarrie Lake, as well as information about the physical characteristics of the lake. This included oxygen and temperature profiles, water chemistry data, obstructions,...

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...
