    Appendix 6.7-E Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts AJAX PROJECT Environmental Assessment Certificate Application / Environmental Impact Statement for a Comprehensive Study www.knightpiesold.com MEMORANDUM To: Stephanie Eagen Date: July 20, 2015 File No.: VA101-246/35-A.01 From: Toby Perkins Cont. No.: VA15-02874 Re: Ajax Project - Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts The purpose of this memorandum is present the results of assessment of potential changes in hydrology and hydraulics on the Thompson River downstream from the outlet of Kamloops Lake due to the proposed Ajax Project. Flow reductions, particularly during low flow periods, have the potential to impact fish habitat. The Project will affect Thompson River flows due to a water withdrawal of 1505 m3/hr (0.42 m3/s) from Kamloops Lake and flow reductions in Peterson Creek due to mine activities. This memorandum is a revision of the work completed by Knight Piésold Ltd. (KP) on March 18, 2013 (KP cont. no. VA13-00493), which assessed the effects of a Kamloops lake water withdrawal of 2000 m3/hr (0.56 m3/s). Hydrology The Project is located in the Thompson River Valley on the south side of Kamloops Lake. The hydrology of the Thompson River was assessed based on Water Survey of Canada (WSC) data available for the Thompson River. The Project location and the locations of relevant WSC gauging stations are shown on Figure 1. Details of these WSC stations are summarized in Table 1. The WSC operated a gauge on the Thompson River near Savona (08LF033), near the outlet of Kamloops Lake, between 1926 and 1966.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION 1.1 Facilities The initial plans for a power project at Shuswap Falls had been developed prior to 1912 by the Couteau Power Company based in Vancouver, B.C. The Shuswap Falls generating station, Wilsey Dam and Peers Dam were constructed and owned by West Canadian Hydroelectric Corporation and went into service in 1929. The project consists of impounded storage in Sugar Lake controlled by Peers (Sugar Lake) Dam, and power generation from Wilsey Dam at Shuswap Falls 31 km downstream. The Shuswap Falls project was acquired by the B.C. Power Commission (a predecessor of B.C. Hydro) in 1945.

    PART 9 – PROPOSED SINGLE MEMBER PLURALITY BOUNDARIES 9 F. The Columbia-Kootenay 1. Evolution of the Columbia- Kootenay electoral districts Immediately prior to the work of the 9 – PART PRO 1966 Angus Commission, there were eight electoral districts in the geograph- ical area we describe as the Columbia- Kootenay (see Kootenays, Map 1). P OSED Moving from east to west, they were: • Columbia S • Fernie INGLE ME • Cranbrook • Revelstoke • Kaslo-Slocan M BER PLURALITY • Nelson-Creston • Rossland-Trail • Grand Forks–Greenwood. B OUNDARIES Kootenays, Map 1 133 9 PART 9 – PROPOSED SINGLE MEMBER PLURALITY BOUNDARIES a. The Angus Commission (1966) The Angus Commission decided to treat the Grand Forks–Greenwood area as part of the Okanagan rather than P ART the Kootenays (where it stayed until 1999), which left seven electoral dis- 9 – PRO tricts in the Kootenays. The commis- sion was satisfied that, due to improved P OSED road access, the East and West Koote- nays should be treated as one region. S Although its population justified only INGLE ME three members in the Legislative Assembly, the commission decided that proper and effective representation M required four members. BER PLURALITY To reduce the number of electoral districts from seven to four (see Kootenays, Map 2), the commission combined the Cranbrook and Fernie B OUNDARIES electoral districts into a new Kootenay district. It also combined the Co- lumbia, Revelstoke and Kaslo-Slocan electoral districts into a new Columbia River district – although there was no great community of interest between the three portions of this new district (to be divided by Rogers Pass), improved transportation now made such a union reasonable.

    Summary of Aerial 2000 Overview of Overview Surveys and Mountain pine Forest Health in the beetle Research in the Kam- loops Forest Kamloops Forest Region Region - INTRODUCTION 2000 The 2000 aerial overview surveys of the Kamloops Region were conducted from July 18 – August 31, 2000 and September 21 - 22, 2000. A total of 72.1 hours of flying over 16.5 days were required to provide complete coverage of the Region. All surveys were completed to the standards set by the B.C. Ministry of Forests Aerial Overview Survey Strategy, and recorded mortality or damage resulting from bark beetles, defoliators, and any other visible forest health factors. All data was digitized to BCMOF Branch Forest Health standards and can be located on the Forest Service website (http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ hfp/forsite/Forest_Health.htm). The bark beetle and defoliator damage levels used in the aerial overview surveys are: Bark beetle Current Defoliatior Attributes itensity class mortality intensity class This summary was prepared by: Light 1-10% Light some branch tip and upper crown defoliation Moderate thin foliage, top third of many trees severely Lorraine Moderate 11-29% defoliated, some completely stripped Maclauchlan, Severe bare branch tips and completely defoliated Regional Severe 30%+ tops, most trees sustaining >50% total de- Entomologist foliation Kevin Buxton Shane Collingridge The most damaging pests in the Kamloops Region in 2000 were mountain pine beetle, Douglas-fir beetle, two-year cycle budworm, western balsam bark beetle, and western spruce Trisha Rimmer budworm. Other less important factors included spruce beetle, western pine beetle, satin moth, (layout) pine needle cast, and wildfire, plus scattered abiotic mortality factors such as windthrow and flooding (Table 1).

Though the vessels themselves are of great interest for their own sake, some emphasis has been placed on the role they played in the social and economic development of the area in which they served.
