Environmental Impact Study Stage 1 Final – Rev 0
202 - 2780 Veterans Memorial Parkway Victoria, BC, V9B 3S6 Phone: 778-433-2672 web: www.greatpacific.ca E-Mail: [email protected] COWICHAN VALLEY REGIONAL DISTRICT MARINE DISCHARGE OUTFALL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STUDY STAGE 1 FINAL – REV 0 Attention: Cowichan Valley Regional District 175 Ingram Street Duncan, BC V9L 1N8 June 25, 2015 1019-001 REV 0 Cowichan Valley Regional District Marine Discharge Outfall - EIS Executive Summary The Cowichan Valley Regional District (CVRD) is undertaking the development of Amendment 3 to the existing Central Sector Liquid Waste Management Plan (CSLWMP). The Central Sector is serviced by the Joint Utilities Board (JUB) Lagoon Systems co-owned by the City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan, and also provides service to properties within parts of CVRD Electoral Areas D and E and parts of Cowichan Tribes reserve. The Joint Utilities Board (JUB) sewage treatment lagoons are located adjacent to the Cowichan River. The aerated lagoon treatment system produces secondary quality effluent, which is disinfected by chlorination, then dechlorinated. Treated wastewater is discharged into the lower reaches of the Cowichan River and subsequently to the Cowichan Estuary and ocean environment. In recent years, low flows in the Cowichan River have resulted in a situation where there is insufficient dilution of the effluent plume with respect to the river flow. This resulted in the temporary closure of the Cowichan River to recreational activities in August of 2014. It is proposed that the point of discharge be moved from the Cowichan River to the marine environment of Satellite Channel, where significantly more dilution can be achieved and where the likelihood of interaction between the effluent plume and sensitive areas can be reduced. -

Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004
Forbes / Lyells Climbing History and Information for the Icefall Brook GMC, 2004 Note – all information is based on having a camp E of the headwaters of Icefall Brook at an elevation of 7100’ and with an UTM of 963476. Estimates of the mountain elevations vary according to different guidebooks. We will get accurate information at the GMC. Elevations I have used are estimates according to the data now present. Names given to the peaks are a combination of “real” names as per the Canadian National Geographic Names Board, given and traditional names used in guidebooks and journal articles. The Major Glaciers of the Area The cluster of peaks surrounding Mt Forbes, the highest point in Banff National Park and 7th highest mountain in the Canadian Rockies, is dominated by two significant glacier systems. The Mons Glacier is bounded on the W by the Continental Divide. This system drains entirely into the Glacier River after being joined by the W and N Forbes glaciers. The Lyell Icefield is 50 sq km in extent and on the W side drains into the tributaries of the Bush River system, including Icefall Brook. On the E side this system drains into the Glacier River system. A campsite below the toe of the SE Lyell glacier is the traditional and favored spot for climbing Mt Forbes or the Lyells. There are also smaller glacier systems to the S and E of Mt Forbes.

22-A 2012 Social Baseline Report
APPENDIX 22-A 2012 SOCIAL BASELINE REPORT TM Seabridge Gold Inc. KSM PROJECT 2012 Social Baseline Report Rescan™ Environmental Services Ltd. Rescan Building, Sixth Floor - 1111 West Hastings Street Vancouver, BC Canada V6E 2J3 January 2013 Tel: (604) 689-9460 Fax: (604) 687-4277 Executive Summary Seabridge Gold Inc. is proposing to develop the KSM Project (the Project), a gold, copper, silver, and molybdenum mine located in northwestern British Columbia. The proposed Project is approximately 950 km northwest of Vancouver and 65 km northwest of Stewart, within 30 km of the British Columbia–Alaska border (Figure 1.2-1). The estimated initial capital cost of the Project is US$5.3 billion. The Project is split between two geographical areas: the Mine Site and Processing and Tailing Management Area (PTMA), connected by twin 23-km tunnels (Mitchell-Treaty Twinned Tunnels; Figure 1.2-2). The Mine Site will be located south of the closed Eskay Creek Mine, within the Mitchell Creek, McTagg Creek, and Sulphurets Creek valleys. Sulphurets Creek is a main tributary of the Unuk River, which flows to the Pacific Ocean. The PTMA will be located in the upper tributaries of Teigen and Treaty creeks. Both creeks are tributaries of the Bell-Irving River, which flows into the Nass River and Pacific Ocean. The PTMA is located about 19 km southwest of Bell II on Highway 37. This social baseline report presents a comprehensive overview of the past and present social environment and context of the proposed Project, including patterns, trends, and changes over time. It outlines relevant social factors for which data on communities in the Project area are available, such as society and governance; population and demographics; education, skills and training (level of achievement, elementary, secondary, post-secondary, and adult education); health and social services (facilities, services, trends, and issues); recreation; protection services (crime index, police, fire, and ambulance); and infrastructure (utilities, communications, transportation, and housing). -
