Minister of the Environment Minister of Environment Room 458, Confederation Building PO Box 9047 – Stn Prov Govt Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0A6 Room 112 – Parliament Buildings Victoria, BC, V8W 9E2 Dear Ministers: In accordance with the mandate issued on May 19, 2005, the Joint Review Panel has completed its environmental assessment of the Kemess North Copper-Gold Mine Project. The Joint Review Panel is please to submit its report for your consideration. Overall, the Panel has concluded that the Project in its current form would not be in the public interest. The Panel is of the view that the economic and social benefits provided by the Project, on balance, are outweighed by the risks of significant adverse environmental, social and cultural effects, some of which may not emerge until many years after mining operations cease. The Panel therefore recommends that the Project not be approved by your respective governments.

  • Landforms of British Columbia 1976
    Landforms of British Columbia A Physiographic Outline bY Bulletin 48 Stuart S. Holland 1976 FOREWORD British Columbia has more variety in its climate and scenery than any other Province of Canada. The mildness and wetness of the southern coast is in sharp contrast with the extreme dryness of the desert areas in the interior and the harshness of subarctic conditions in the northernmost parts. Moreover, in every part, climate and vegetation vary with altitude and to a lesser extent with configuration of the land. Although the Province includes almost a thousand-mile length of one of the world’s greatest mountain chains, that which borders the north Pacitic Ocean, it is not all mountainous but contains a variety of lowlands and intermontane areas. Because of the abundance of mountains, and because of its short history of settlement, a good deal of British Columbia is almost uninhabited and almost unknown. However, the concept of accessibility has changed profoundly in the past 20 years, owing largely to the use of aircraft and particularly the helicopter. There is now complete coverage by air photography, and by far the largest part of the Province has been mapped topographically and geologically. In the same period of time the highways have been very greatly improved, and the secondary roads are much more numerous. The averagecitizen is much more aware of his Province, but, although knowledge has greatly improved with access,many misconceptions remain on the part of the general public as to the precise meaning even of such names as Cascade Mountains, Fraser Plateau, and many others.

  • Upper Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspection
    Upper Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspection Ken Rabnett & Tim Wilson Gitksan Watershed Authorities February 2008 Upper Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspections 2 Gitksan Watershed Authorities February 2008 Upper Skeena Fish Passage Culvert Inspections Summary The purpose of this report is to present background information and survey results for fish passage inspections along the B.C. Rail grade located in the upper Skeena Watershed. In 2007, Gitksan Watershed Authorities (GWA) was retained by the Pacific Salmon Commission to conduct a Fish Passage and Culvert Inspection (FPCI) on all non-bridged B.C. Rail crossings of fish bearing streams in the upper Skeena Watershed. The upper Skeena Watershed fish passage assessment is the final component of a regional effort to improve fish passage limited by highways, secondary roads, and railway grades throughout high and very high value fish habitat in the Skeena Basin. This fish passage inspection project focused on the BC Rail grade, which enters the Skeena Watershed a few kilometres south of Bear Lake, traverses Bear Lake and River, passes Sustut River on the north bank, and goes upstream on the Skeena River northbank passing into the Stikine drainage. The B.C. Rail grade is 195 km in length within the Skeena Watershed. The primary objective of this project was to focus on increasing the abundance of fish stocks by opening freshwater habitat to salmon spawning and rearing. This project utilized the fish passage culvert inspection procedure developed to evaluate one of the most easily addressed fish habitat constraints: access to existing habitat. The methodology is based on the BC Government fish passage protocol outlined in Fish Passage – Culvert Inspection Procedures.
