  • Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – January 1St, 2021
    Snow Survey and Water Supply Bulletin – January 1st, 2021 The January 1st snow survey is now complete. Data from 58 manual snow courses and 86 automated snow weather stations around the province (collected by the Ministry of Environment Snow Survey Program, BC Hydro and partners), and climate data from Environment and Climate Change Canada and the provincial Climate Related Monitoring Program have been used to form the basis of the following report1. Weather October began with relatively warm and dry conditions, but a major cold spell dominated the province in mid-October. Temperatures primarily ranged from -1.5 to +1.0˚C compared to normal. The cold spell also produced early season low elevation snowfall for the Interior. Following the snowfall, heavy rain from an atmospheric river affected the Central Coast and spilled into the Cariboo, resulting in prolonged flood conditions. Overall, most of the Interior received above normal precipitation for the month, whereas coastal regions were closer to normal. In November, temperatures were steady at near normal to slightly above normal and primarily ranged from -0.5 to +1.5˚C through the province. The warmest temperatures relative to normal occurred in the Interior, while the coldest occurred in the Northwest. Precipitation was mostly below normal to near normal (35-105%) with the Northeast / Peace as the driest areas. A few locations, e.g. Prince Rupert and Williams Lake, were above 130% due to a strong storm event early in the month. Temperatures in December were relatively warm across the province, ranging from +1.0 to +5.0˚C above normal.

  • Appendix B Elk River Channel Analysis
    Elk River Channel Analysis Setting The Elk River is located in the Rocky Mountains in south eastern British Columbia (Figure 1). The upper river drains a pair of small glacier-fed lakes (Upper and Lower Elk Lakes) that are situated at approximately 1720 and 1750 m elevation. From Lower Elk Lake, the river flows south and southwest for a distance of 170 km before draining into Lake Koocanusa at an elevation of 748 m. The shifts between south and southwest valley alignment are controlled by regional geologic structure (Holland 1976). The watershed area of Elk River is 4450 km2. The largest tributary sub-basins are Fording River (620 km2), Michel Creek (646 km2), and Wigwam River (737 km2). The central part of the Elk River watershed consists of a geologic feature known as Fernie Basin (Holland 1976). Fernie Basin is a coal-bearing unit of sedimentary rocks (where “basin” refers to an ancient depositional environment). The contemporary topography of Fernie Basin consists of the central 100 km of the Elk River valley with its coal-bearing ridges on either side of the valley upstream of Sparwood and the broad upland to the east of Elk River downstream of Sparwood. The ridges and uplands of Fernie Basin are characterized by moderate slopes, except for locally steeper slopes along deeply incised tributaries of Elk River, Fording River, and Michel Creek. Maximum elevations on the ridges and uplands are around 1800 to 2200 m, whereas the Elk River valley bottom lies at 950 to 1400 m elevation in this section. Flanking Fernie Basin to the east and west are the Front Ranges of the Rocky Mountains.

Rocky Mountain bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis canadensis) inhabit the east side of the Elk Valley in southeastern British Columbia where forestry and 4 large, open-pit coal mines are in operation. Sheep in this area generally winter at high elevation on windswept, south-facing native grasslands, with some sheep also wintering on mine properties. Expansion of coal mining is proposed in portions of the valley which may result in direct loss of high-elevation winter range, which in some instances can result in the creation of winter habitat through reclamation of mine disturbance. Winter range may be the single most important factor limiting sheep populations in the area. The primary objectives of this study were to describe seasonal movements, winter habitat selection, and use of mine properties by this population. A concurrent companion study examined winter range plant communities and plant production, range condition, and winter diet.
