Engelmann’s Quillwort (Isoetes Engelmannii) in Ontario Ontario Recovery Strategy Series Recovery strategy prepared under the Endangered Species Act, 2007 February 2010 Ministry of Natural Resources About the Ontario Recovery Strategy Series This series presents the collection of recovery strategies that are prepared or adopted as advice to the Province of Ontario on the recommended approach to recover species at risk. The Province ensures the preparation of recovery strategies to meet its commitments to recover species at risk under the Endangered Species Act, 2007 (ESA, 2007) and the Accord for the Protection of Species at Risk in Canada. What is recovery? What’s next?

Characterizing the Flow Regime in Brook Trout (Salvelinus Fontinalis) Incubation Habitats and the Implications for Management in a Hydro-Regulated River
Characterizing the flow regime in Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) incubation habitats and the implications for management in a hydro-regulated river by Stephen Slongo A Master’s thesis presented in Partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science in Forestry Faculty of Natural Resources Management Lakehead University Thunder Bay, Ontario January 2018 1 Abstract Hydropower accounts for more than one third of Ontario Power Generation’s electrical production. Hydroelectric development often occurs on rivers that also support recreational fisheries. The construction and operation of dams, diversions and generating facilities unavoidably influence the ecological function of rivers. The Aguasabon River is a northern Canadian Shield river with major developments for water diversion, storage, and power generation. This river offers opportunity to examine the importance of vertical flows through the substrate at a Brook Trout (Salvelinus fontinalis) spawning area. The vertical and horizontal hydraulic gradients and subsequent water temperature changes are the subject of this study. Piezometers were used to monitor the river and subsurface water levels near Brook Trout redds during the spawning and incubation period under normal and increasing discharge conditions. The Brook Trout spawning area in the Aguasabon River experienced upwelling conditions for the entire monitoring period (Oct 28th, 2016 – Jan 13th, 2017) before water release at the Long Lake Control Dam (LLCD). Hyporheic temperatures declined gradually, remaining >3.7 °C. The river temperature in the winter before water release was 1.5 °C. Rapid increase in water level after discharge from above the LLCD resulted in the reversal of flow in the hyporheic zone. -

Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River
Flood Plain Mapping Study Burnt River Final Report May 2019 Executive Summary The primary goals of this study are to create hydrologic and hydraulic models of the watershed and produce flood plain mapping for Burnt River from the outlet to Cameron Lake to the hamlet of Burnt River. The mapping will allow the City of Kawartha Lakes and Kawartha Conservation staff to make informed decisions about future land use and identify flood hazard reduction opportunities. The Burnt River Flood Plain Mapping Study was subject to a comprehensive peer review for core components: data collection, data processing, hydrologic modeling, hydraulic modeling, and map generation. The process was supported throughout by a Technical Committee consisting of technical/managerial staff from Ganaraska Conservation, the City of Kawartha Lakes, and Kawartha Conservation. Topics discussed in this study include: • Previous studies in the area • Collection of LiDAR, bathymetry and orthophoto data • Proposed land use • Delineation of hydrology subcatchments • Creation of a Visual OTTHYMO hydrology model for Regional (Timmins) Storm • Calculation of subcatchment hydrology model parameters • Derivation of flow peaks at key nodes along the watercourse • Flood Frequency Analysis for the 2, 5, 10, 25, 50 and 100 year events • Creation of a HEC-RAS hydraulic model • Creation of flood plain maps Key elements of this study include: • The Timmins storm is the Regulatory Event for the watercourse • Flood plain maps are to be created based on the highest flood elevation of the calculated water surface elevations Key recommendations of this study: • The maps created from the results of the HEC-RAS model for Burnt River Creek should be endorsed by the Kawartha Conservation Board. -

An Assessment of the Groundwater Resources of Northern Ontario
Hydrogeology of Ontario Series (Report 2) AN ASSESSMENT OF THE GROUNDWATER RESOURCES OF NORTHERN ONTARIO AREAS DRAINING INTO HUDSON BAY, JAMES BAY AND UPPER OTTAWA RIVER BY S. N. SINGER AND C. K. CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

Salerno Lake Sentinel 2017 Spring / Summer Edition June 2017
SALERNO LAKE SENTINEL 2017 SPRING / SUMMER EDITION JUNE 2017 It’s about family, friends, community, relaxation, fun! Greetings After the winter of our discontent, of divisive politics, of deep ice encrusted snow and bitter cold, followed by a spring of endless rains and almost biblical plagues of mosquitoes and black-flies, we are now brightening our outlook. Summer is coming! The cottage roads are open again. Life is good. Welcome back to Salerno Lake (if you ever left….) Take a look at our SDLCA Events Calendar for this summer and mark the dates. There’s much to look forward to and it is our hope that you will participate. We have a terrific community here on Salerno Lake and you are an important part of it. The annual Canada Day Fireworks will be held this year on - gasp - Saturday July 1st, the actual Canada Day. That hap- pens only once every seven years… On July the 8th we have our very first Dock Sale AND our 7th Concert On The Lake at 6:30 PM featuring Kiyomi Valentine (McCloskey) a talented young woman who has a deep family connection to Salerno Lake. (Her sister Chloe was married here just last summer!) It’s also the summer of our 50th Annual Canoe Race, an incredible milestone in a long, storied tradition. And we will be holding the 2nd edition of the Youth Race for those 6-12 years of age. These events will be held on Sunday August 6th. The route of the Canoe Race is still to be determined due to the large log jam on the Irondale River. -

Port Arthur, Ontario December l, 1958. : -© O - r\. # ;©-V SUMMARY The Upper Magpie River Acea includes the south easterly section of a belt of northeasterly trending volcanic and sedimentary rooks of early Precambrian age. This belt in general occupies the drainage basin of the Kabinakagami River* The area lies some 30 miles northeasterly from White River, Ontario. Volcanic agglomerates are enclosed by inter- banded flows and tuffs which are in turn flanked by sedimentary quartz-biotile gneisses. Oranite gneiss bounds these rooks *.o the southeast and southwest. Within the central and southeasterly portion of the map area all members have been folded into a steeply plunging syncline with axial plane trend ing southeasterly such that it protrudes from the main belt. Two complementary fault planes striking northeast and northwest intersect near the centre of the area. Both show horizontal displacement. A fsw minor occurrences of metallic mineralization were found bat none w.*s indicative of economic possibilities. t*i*©..:--VJi©5&-© 1.. **©.-©-." fclfr-©v GEOLOGY OF THE UPPER MAGPIE RIVER AREA ALGOMA DISTRICT, ONTARIO LOCATION AM) ACCESS The Upper Magpie River Area lies some 30 miles northeast of White River station on the Canadian Pacific Railway from where it is most readily reached by air transportation. An alternative route is by canoe from Swanson siding on the Canadian Pacific Railway eight miles west of Franz Station. This route, also of some 30 miles, follows up through Esnagi Lake thence west into Mosambik Lake and into the Magpie River.
