Photos: Kurt Knock WelCome tO the waRm LAnD Situated less than an hour north of Victoria, British Columbia, Cowichan is a region that’s as renowned for its natural beauty and breadth of activities as it is for its culture and friendly locals. Cowichan consists of a vast belt that extends all the way across southern Vancouver Island and features a kaleidoscope of vistas, villages and opportunities for adventure. As Canada’s only Maritime-Mediterranean climatic zone, the region is well known for its agricultural bounty and, more recently, its sheer number of internationally acclaimed craft beverage producers. Cowichan’s temperate climate also allows for all kinds of year-round outdoor fun like beachcombing, kayaking, hiking, fishing and more. But that’s just the beginning. In the next few pages, we’re going to introduce you to a Pacific paradise that’s still largely undiscovered, yet so accessible. Welcome!

    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.

    Cowichan River Chinook Salmon Incubation Assessment, 2005–2006 Prepared For Pacific Salmon Commission 600 - 1155 Robson Street Vancouver, BC V6E 1B5 (604) 684-8081 July 14, 2006 By D.W. Burt1 and E. Ellis2 2 1 D. Burt and Associates Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. 2245 Ashlee Road 200 – 4185A Still Creek Drive Nanaimo, BC, V9R 6T5 Burnaby, BC, V5C 6G9 (250) 753-0027 (604) 294-2088 [email protected] [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This purpose of this study was to determine whether upstream sediment sources are adversely affecting egg-to-fry survival of Cowichan River chinook salmon. This information is necessary to determine whether remedial action to eliminate/diminish these sediment sources is warranted to assist in the recovery of Cowichan River chinook stocks. The specific objectives of the study were to: 1) monitor suspended sediment levels above and below known point sources at various flows during the 2005-2006 winter, 2) determine the level of fine sediment in selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, 3) assess incubation survival by in situ trials and by hydraulic sampling at selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, and 4) undertake a literature review on the effects of fine sediment on egg-to-fry survival. Suspended sediment levels were monitored by taking in situ turbidity measurements and by collecting water samples for lab analysis of total suspended solids (TSS). Substrate composition of spawning beds was assessed by collection of sediment samples at 1 site above the sediment sources (control) and 2 sites below the sediment sources (test sites).
