The assessment was directed by Sto:l6 Research and Resource Management Centre (SRRMC) project archaeologist Cara Brendzy, and was carried out under Sto:l6 Heritage Investigation Permit (SHIP) #2013-042, held by Cara Brendzy. The CHOA was initiated by Ts'elxweyeqw Tribe Management Limited to address concerns raised by eleven Sto:lo communities including: Aitchelitz, Skowkale, Shxwha:y, Soowahlie, Squiala, Tzeachten, Yakweakwioose, Kwaw-kwaw-Apilt, Skwah, Cheam, and Sumas regarding the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline. The Trans Mountain Pipeline preliminary corridor extends for 188 km across S'olh Temexw, from kilometer posts km 969-1147. The Study Area for this assessment consists of the section of the Trans Mountain Pipeline preliminary corridor located within S'olh Temexw, and an additional buffer zone extending beyond the preliminary corridor. The buffer zone was established surrounding the preliminary pipeline corridor to obtain an overview of cultural heritage resources within close proximity to the proposed development. The width of the buffer zone varies (1-2 km) dependent upon heritage resource site type being assessed. Several previously recorded cultural heritage sites/areas are located within the Study Area, including thirteen (13) Sxwdxwiydm / Cultural Landscape Features, thirty-one (31) Xa:Xa sites, one hundred and thirty-five (135) Halq'eme'ylem Place Names, one hundred and fifty-one (151) previously recorded archaeological sites, one hundred and six (106) Documented and GIS-modeled travel routes, ninety-five (95) traditional land and resource use areas, and fifteen (15) spiritual practice areas.

The assessment was directed by Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre (SRRMC) project archaeologist Cara Brendzy, and was carried out under Sto:lo Heritage Investigation Permit (SHIP) #2013-042, held by Cara Brendzy. The CHOA was initiated by Ts'elxweyeqw Tribe Management Limited to address concerns raised by eleven Sto:lo communities including: Aitchelitz, Skowkale, Shxwha:y, Soowahlie, Squiala, Tzeachten, Yakweakwioose, Kwaw-kwaw-Apilt, Skwah, Cheam, and Sumas regarding the proposed twinning of Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain Pipeline. This study was carried out in accordance with the Sto:lo Heritage Policy (2003), developed by the Sto:lo Nation and administered by the Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre. 1.1 Proposed Development The proposed Trans Mountain Expansion Project consists of twinning the existing Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline. The Study Area for this assessment consists of the proposed pipeline corridor in S'olh Temexw (km 959-1147; Figure 1). Proposed development activities which could potentially impact cultural heritage sites and resources in the Study Area include, but are not limited to: • construction and installation of the proposed pipeline; • construction and installation construction of new and modified facilities, including pump stations and tanks; and • construction of temporary access roads and equipment staging area. 1.2 Assessment Objectives A Cultural Heritage Overview Assessment serves the purpose of identifying and inventorying heritage resources that may be impacted by the proposed development, including archaeological sites, SRRMC H2013-05 Sto:lo Research and Resource Management Centre CHOA of the Preliminary Trans Mountain Pipeline Corridor in S'olh Temexw (km 959-1147) February 2014 traditional use areas, transformation sites / features (i.e., Cultural Landscape Features), and other cultural heritage sites and resources, as defined in the Sto:lo Heritage Policy Manual (2003). This CHOA is intended to complement the Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) addressing material cultural remains as protected by the Heritage Conservation Act and the Sto:lo Heritage Policy. The AIA is currently being conducted by the SRRMC in collaboration with TERA Environmental and AMEC, and it will specifically address archaeological impacts. The Heritage Conservation Act (HCA) provides legal protection against the disturbance of archaeological sites, defined as places that demonstrate past human activity predating 1846, all burial and pictograph sites, and shipwrecks more than two years old.

    TRANS MOUNTAIN PIPELINE ULC TRANSMOUNTAIN EXPANSION PROJECT PRELIMINARY GEOTECHNICAL HDD FEASIBILITY ASSESSMENT COQUIHALLA RIVER AT RK 1043.2 PROJECT NO.: 0095-150-14 DISTRIBUTION: DATE: Apr 04, 2014 RECIPIENT: 2 copies DOCUMENT NO.: 0095150-04-CQ BGC: 2 copies OTHER: 1 copy Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Apr 04, 2014 Coquihalla River at RK 1043.2 Project No.: 0095-150-14 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As part of the engineering design and assessment for the Trans Mountain Expansion Project, BGC Engineering Inc. (BGC) have been retained to complete geotechnical feasibility assessments for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) at select stream crossings along the proposed pipeline corridor. In August 2013, BGC supervised the drilling of two boreholes adjacent to the proposed HDD alignment at the Coquihalla River in Hope BC. WorleyParsons, under subcontract to BGC, completed geophysical surveys at the same site in July 2013. Results from the scour analysis estimate a maximum scour depth of approximately 2.5 m below the thawleg during a 200-year flood event. Given this result, the depth of cover above the proposed HDD borepath remains adequate for the entire HDD length. The HDD exit point on the right (north) bank is inside the 200-year floodplain limit and is therefore at risk of inundation should a large scale flood event occur during construction. However, because the exit point remains on the inside of the channel meander, incident energy is low therefore bank erosion is not anticipated to be significant. Further to this, based on a review of historical air photo imagery and a walk-over of the site, no significant bank instability was observed adjacent to the proposed HDD alignment.

  • 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.

  • Food Web E.2. Electronic Appendix
    E.2. Electronic Appendix - Food Web Elements of the Fraser River Basin Upper River (above rkm 210) Food webs: Microbenthic algae (periphyton), detritus from riparian vegetation and littoral insects (especially midges) are key components supporting fish production in the mainstem upper Fraser and larger tributaries. Collector-gatherers (invertebrates feeding on fine particulate organic material) are the most abundant functional feeding group, making up to 85% of the invertebrate species on the latter two rivers. Smaller tributaries are dominated by collector, shredder and grazer insect feeding modes (Reece and Richardson 2000). There is a general increasing trend in insect abundance from the headwaters of the main river to the lower river (Reynoldson et al. 2005). Juvenile stream-type Chinook rear along the shorelines of the upper river and tributaries and some overwinter under ice as the river margins usually freeze over here. Juvenile Chinook diets in the main stem and tributaries include larval plecopterans, empheropterans, chironomids and terrestrial insects (Homoptera, Coleoptera, Hymenoptera and Arachnida; Russell et al. 1983, Rogers et al. 1988, Levings and Lauzier 1991). Rainbow trout and northern pikeminnow consume mainly sculpins in the Nechako River as well as a variety of insects (Brown et al. 1992). Stressors: Water quality and habitat conditions have changed food webs in specific locations in the upper river. However, compared to other rivers in North America, water quality is good (Reynoldson et al. 2005), even with five pulp mills currently operating in the megareach. The food web of the Thompson River was stimulated in the past by low concentrations of bleached Kraft pulp mill effluent released into the river (Dube and Culp 1997); it is not known if this is still happening as treatment techniques for effluent have changed.
