  • Post-Wildfire Risk Analysis – Preliminary Report
    MINISTRY OF FORESTS, LANDS AND NATURAL RESOURCE OPERATIONS, POST-WILDFIRE RISK ANALYSIS – PRELIMINARY REPORT NOTE: The results given on this form are intended to be a preliminary warning of potential hazards and risks. If conducted, further work may alter or refine the conclusions. Interpretations are a result of a visual estimation of burn severity with limited field checking. Please contact the author for more information. FIRE: Talbott Fire N51250 FIRE YEAR: 2020 DATE OF REPORT: Oct. 30, 2020 AUTHOR: Tedd Robertson, P.Geo. Eng.L., Sitkum Consulting Ltd. REPORT PREPARED FOR: Selkirk Resource District (Kootenay Lake FD), Southeast Fire Centre, Regional District Central Kootenay (RDCK) FIRE SIZE, LOCATION, AND LAND STATUS: 1302 ha in size, located at the south end of Perry Ridge approximately 30 km north of Castlegar, B.C. Located on crown land situated upslope of private land. VALUES AT RISK: Private property (including residences and inferred human safety), domestic water quality and supply, and public roads have been addressed below. Other downslope values not specifically addressed include fish habitat in the Slocan River and Little Slocan River, as well as existing forest roads. COMMENTS: The attached burn severity map is based on visual estimates from the helicopter overview flight and ground observations. Satellite based burn severity mapping (BARC mapping) is not available for 30% of the fire area, and is believed to underestimate burn severity in many locations based on field work, so this report presents the results based on the visual estimations. Smoke reduced visibility on the northwest side of Perry Ridge during the overview flight, reducing the reliability of observations in this area.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives. It is understood that copying or publication of this thesis for financial, gain shall not be allowed without my written permission. Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8. Canada ABSTRACT « Traditionally, international boundaries have been re• garded as barriers to the evolution of transportation networks. Numerous examples of the disruptive influence of borders on travel routes have been documented in the literature. Does such a pattern always occur? This thesis is concerned with a railnet which evolved in close proximity to an international boundary, but which for the most part appeared able to develop with little regard for the boundary as a barrier. This railnet is that of the Kootenay district of south• eastern British Columbia and the adjacent United States. An investigation is made of the major elements which best explain the nature of this network's evolution. They are discovered to include a rich natural resource endowment, rivalry between rail• way companies, and private and government decision makers, but not the international boundary.

The Scoping Study is guided by the Brilliant Headpond Stewardship Initiative Steering Committee, which includes leaders from the Brilliant Headpond communities of Tarrys, Thrums, Glade, Shoreacres, and South Slocan, representatives of the Ktunaxa First Nation and Okanagan Nation Alliance, and Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) Area I Director, Andy Davidoff, and RDCK Area H Director, Walter Popoff.

Brilliant Dam hydroelectric project completed in 1944. The BHPR area extends from Columbia Power Corporation’s (current owner) Brilliant Dam and Brilliant Expansion Project (2007) upstream to the Slocan Pool area just below BC Hydro’s Kootenay Canal (1975) and FortisBC’s South Slocan (1928) dams. FortisBC owns and operates the four dams on the Lower Kootenay, upstream of Brilliant Dam, and FortisBC operates Brilliant Dam and Brilliant Expansion facilities on behalf of Columbia Power Corporation.

  • NON-ALASKA REFERENCES Canada
    1 NON-ALASKA REFERENCES Canada 277) Beaudry, P.G. 1989. Hydrology of the Skeena River floodplains I: Implications to herbicide use. In: Proceedings of Watershed ‘89: A Conference on the Stewardship of Soil, Air, and Water Resources, 21-23 March 1989, Juneau, Alaska. E.B. Alexander, Editor. USDA Forest Service, Alaska Region, R10-MB-77. Pages 165-171. (I) Author abstract: This study was initiated to provide information to silviculturists and concerned members of the public about the environmental characteristics of the Skeena River floodplains that affect the fate of forestry herbicides. This paper describes 1) the annual groundwater regime and its driving forces, 2) the stratigraphy of the deposits, 3) the physical characteristics of the soil, and 4) the climatic regime of both air and soil. Based on these data and the chemical and physical properties of certain herbicides, inferences are made about their probable fate in coastal alluvial environments. The period late July to early September is identified as the safest for the application of herbicides as the water table is low and consequently the chances of flooding are low. The surface deposits of fine silts and the rapid incorporation of organic matter into the soil should ensure low mobility of most herbicides. 278) Beaudry, P.G., and A. Gottesfeld. 2001.
