    Coquitlam Lake The Genesis of the Coquitlam Lake Conservation Reserve: A much praised policy of the Dominion Government for the A Footnote on Early Conservation Policy management of its western lands was the creation of forest reserves. The establishment of a forest reserve did not withhold the included forests in the Lower Fraser Basin from logging. Rather, it held out the promise of scientific management of the selected forests on a sustained yield basis. Several forest reserves Ronald A. Shearer were established in the Railway Belt of British Columbia between 1888 Department of Economics and 1906 but none in the lower Fraser basin, the region with the major marketable forest resources. An apparent exception to this statement John T. Sproul was the Coquitlam Conservation Reserve established on the western Fisheries Centre edge of the railway belt between 1904 and 1910. As we will note below, although the forests of the Coquitlam Lake drainage basin were “reserved”, this was not a result of the forest reserve policy. However, the April 1996 process by which the Coquitlam Reserve was created had much in The University of British Columbia common with the process by which forest reserves were established elsewhere in the railway belt and this process provides insights into the political economy of resource management in the lower Fraser basin while it was under federal administration. Moreover, the creation of the This is a working paper of the Economic History Coquitlam Conservation Reserve, which became an important part of the component of the Lower Fraser Basin Eco- watershed for the Vancouver metropolitan area, is an interesting episode Research Project, funded by a grant from the Tri-Council Secretariat through the Westwater in the history of the lower mainland of British Columbia.

  • COQMON-2 | Coquitlam Dam Flow Release Interim
    Coquitlam-Buntzen Water Use Plan Coquitlam Dam Flow Release Interim Ramping Rate Monitoring Implementation Year 12 Reference: COQMON-2 Study Period: May 1, 2016 – April 30, 2017 Living Resources Environmental Services #3-108 West 11th Ave., Vancouver B.C. V5Y 1S7 Ph: 604-862-2323 Email:[email protected] March 31, 2019 Executive Summary This report summarizes rampdown events occurring on Lower Coquitlam River for the water year May 1, 2016 to April 30, 2017. A total of 7 rampdown events were monitored during the annual survey period: six scheduled rampdowns (May 1, June 1, June 8, and June 15, 2016; and January 15 and April 1 2017) and one unscheduled rampdown (November 11-14, 2016). The scheduled flow adjustments on September 1 and November 1, 2016 took place during spill events so no fish salvages were required. In addition to the 2016-2017 water year results, data from rampdown fish salvages in May and June 2017 are also included in this document. The 2016-2017 water year was the eighth complete year under the Treatment 2 flow regime. Under Treatment 2, rampdowns are more frequent, but of a much smaller scale in terms of total reduction in flow volume. Additionally, they are predictable due to their scheduled operational dates. The removal of the temporary dam safety 149m maximum allowable reservoir operating level in 2008, following commissioning of the new dam, increased reservoir storage but has not lead to a reduction in the frequency of large scale flow releases and subsequent full river rampdown fisheries impact surveys. Under Treatment 2 total rampdowns per year have increased from an average of 2.7 to 8.0 per year and unscheduled rampdowns have increased to an average of 3.0 per year from 2.7.
