It was built and launched at Nel‐ son in 1899 and was used to move Transfer barges around. The super structure is gone but the hull, deck planking and boiler are still in place. Directly off the bow of the Ymir is a fifteen car Railway Transfer barge in about 50’ of water. This is a shore dive and the fact that most of the decking is gone means that the inter‐ nal structure of the barge can be seen. This dive site also happens to be the location of the CPR shipways on Kootenay Lake. The CPR fleet of stern‐ wheelers, tugs and Rail barge would have been built and maintained at this location in the late 1800’s up to 1930.

  • Corrugated Architecture of the Okanagan Valley Shear Zone and the Shuswap Metamorphic Complex, Canadian Cordillera
    Corrugated architecture of the Okanagan Valley shear zone and the Shuswap metamorphic complex, Canadian Cordillera Sarah R. Brown1,2,*, Graham D.M. Andrews1,3, and H. Daniel Gibson2 1DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGICAL SCIENCES, CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY–BAKERSFIELD, 9001 STOCKDALE HIGHWAY, BAKERSFIELD, CALIFORNIA 93311, USA 2DEPARTMENT OF EARTH SCIENCE, SIMON FRASER UNIVERSITY, 8888 UNIVERSITY DRIVE, BURNABY, BRITISH COLUMBIA V5A 1S6, CANADA 3DEPARTMENT OF GEOLOGY AND GEOGRAPHY, WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY, 98 BEECHURST AVENUE, MORGANTOWN, WEST VIRGINIA 26506, USA ABSTRACT The distribution of tectonic superstructure across the Shuswap metamorphic complex of southern British Columbia is explained by east-west– trending corrugations of the Okanagan Valley shear zone detachment. Geological mapping along the southern Okanagan Valley shear zone has identified 100-m-scale to kilometer-scale corrugations parallel to the extension direction, where synformal troughs hosting upper-plate units are juxtaposed between antiformal ridges of crystalline lower-plate rocks. Analysis of available structural data and published geological maps of the Okanagan Valley shear zone confirms the presence of≤ 40-km-wavelength corrugations, which strongly influence the surface trace of the detachment system, forming spatially extensive salients and reentrants. The largest reentrant is a semicontinuous belt of late Paleozoic to Mesozoic upper-plate rocks that link stratigraphy on either side of the Shuswap metamorphic complex. Previously, these belts were considered by some to be autochthonous, implying minimal motion on the Okanagan Valley shear zone (≤12 km); conversely, our results suggest that they are allochthonous (with as much as 30–90 km displacement). Corrugations extend the Okanagan Valley shear zone much farther east than previously recognized and allow for hitherto separate gneiss domes and detachments to be reconstructed together to form a single, areally extensive Okanagan Valley shear zone across the Shuswap metamorphic complex.

  • Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish & Wildlife
    SLOCAN LAKE FORESHORE FISH & WILDLIFE HABITAT ASSESSMENT INCLUDING FORESHORE INVENTORY AND MAPPING (FIM) AQUATIC HABITAT INDEX (AHI) Prepared for: SLOCAN LAKE STEWARDSHIP SOCIETY PO Box 322, New Denver, BC V0G 2S0 Prepared by: GALENA ENVIRONMENTAL Ltd 8075 Upper Galena Farm Rd, Silverton, BC V0G 2B0 May 2011/File No. 09-31 Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, FIM & AHI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Responding to concerns about water quality in Slocan Lake and the potential increase in the use of the lake, local residents formed the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS) in June 2006. Expanding development pressures in the Slocan Lake area and increasing use of the foreshore areas provided the impetus to develop a strategy that will serve to direct lake and foreshore use in a manner which would respect community values and protect the existing ecosystem. One of the goals of the Society is to lead the development of a set of community-driven guidelines, in accordance with Regional, Provincial and Federal policies and regulations. These guidelines would serve to direct land and water use in and around the lake and to achieve a uniform standard for the activities of developers, local governments, the tourism industry and local residents. To serve as a basis for the development of future land-use guidelines, the SLSS undertook to complete a study of the present state of Slocan Lake. The present report documents the results of three components of that study: a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, a Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM), and an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI). In 2007, staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Nelson, carried out an Overview Foreshore Inventory and Mapping of the Slocan Lake shoreline (Arnett 2009).

  • Columbia Basin White Sturgeon Planning Framework
    Review Draft Review Draft Columbia Basin White Sturgeon Planning Framework Prepared for The Northwest Power & Conservation Council February 2013 Review Draft PREFACE This document was prepared at the direction of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council to address comments by the Independent Scientific Review Panel (ISRP) in their 2010 review of Bonneville Power Administration research, monitoring, and evaluation projects regarding sturgeon in the lower Columbia River. The ISRP provided a favorable review of specific sturgeon projects but noted that an effective basin-wide management plan for white sturgeon is lacking and is the most important need for planning future research and restoration. The Council recommended that a comprehensive sturgeon management plan be developed through a collaborative effort involving currently funded projects. Hatchery planning projects by the Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission (2007-155-00) and the Yakama Nation (2008-455-00) were specifically tasked with leading or assisting with the comprehensive management plan. The lower Columbia sturgeon monitoring and mitigation project (1986-050-00) sponsored by the Oregon and Washington Departments of Fish and Wildlife and the Inter-Tribal Fish Commission also agreed to collaborate on this effort and work with the Council on the plan. The Council directed that scope of the planning area include from the mouth of the Columbia upstream to Priest Rapids on the mainstem and up to Lower Granite Dam on the Snake River. The plan was also to include summary information for sturgeon areas above Priest Rapids and Lower Granite. A planning group was convened of representatives of the designated projects. Development also involved collaboration with representatives of other agencies and tribes involved in related sturgeon projects throughout the region.

  • BIKE TOURS British Columbia Is a Beautiful Place to Ride a SBC
    BIKE TOURS British Columbia is a Beautiful Place to Ride A SBC Touring Committee has been designing a potential “loop” tour leaving from Nelson, B.C. (pictured above) and tentatively scheduled for July 17 to 23. The committee needs to hear from those interested in this tour before proceeding to the next step of commitment. The committee is proposing the following schedule for this SAG supported tour: Day One, Monday, July 17: Travel to and explore Nelson (approximately 150 miles). Day Two, Tuesday, July 18: Bike from Nelson to Kaslo on Kootenay Lake (approximately 43 miles). Day Three, Wednesday, July 19: Bike from Kaslo to New Denver on Slocan Lake (approximately 29 miles). Day Four, Thursday, July 20: Bike from New Denver to Winlaw (approximately 32 miles). Day Five, Friday, July 21: Bike back to Nelson. Day Six (optional), Saturday, July 22, drive to and explore Cranbrook (144 miles) and ride a paved section of Canada’s “Great Trail.” It is an 18- mile paved section so riders can choose how many miles they want to ride. Day Seven, Sunday, July 23, return to Spokane (approximately 188 miles). Similar to last summer’s Oregon Coast Ride, we are trying to accommodate both campers and motel riders. It is designed for “moderate level” riders. Approximate cost of the tour is $200 (covers SAG trailer, SAG volunteer accommodations, SAG vehicle gas and related). It is the same cost regardless of whether you choose the optional days or not. Of course, there will be a list of activities to engage in when not riding, like soaking in the Ainsworth Hot Springs, exploring the Kokanee Glacier, swimming in Kootenay and Slocan Lakes, etc.
