V6T 1Z4 Prepared for Nechako Enhancement Society c/o Suite 850-899 West Hasting Street Vancouver B.C. V6C 2W2 August 23, 2007 Executive Summary The Nechako Enhancement Society (NES), a joint partnership of Alcan Inc. and the Province of British Columbia, is considering building a Cold Water Release Facility (CWRF) at Kenney Dam on the Nechako Reservoir. The CWRF would draw cold deep water from the reservoir to reduce the temperature of the Nechako River for fish migration. The NES has requested an assessment of the ability of the CWRF to deliver up to 170 m3/s of 10 ºC water between July 20 and August 20 (a total of 0.47 km3). We have examined the physical limnology of the two basins adjacent to Kenney Dam (Knewstubb and Natalkuz lakes). In particular, we have: • Collected temperature profiles in the summer of 2005, 2006 and 2007; these were compared with data from 1990 (Limnotek) and 1994 (Triton).

Enbridge Northern Gateway Project Application of 27 May 2010 Hearing Order OH‐4‐2011 In Ruling No. 91, the Joint Review Panel directed Northern Gateway to file photomosaics of the pipeline route at a scale no greater than 1:25,000 which indicate the pipeline route, aerial extent, location and ID number of the geohazards identified in the geohazard report filed as Exhibit B 69‐7. Maps for the pipeline route from the tunnels to the Kitimat Terminal (KP 1084 to KP 1176) are attached for filing with the Panel.

Introduction The Interior Plateau region of British Columbia is con- sidered to have high exploration potential as it hosts a variety of deposit types including Late Cretaceous and Eocene epithermal Au and Ag deposits (e.g., Blackwa- ter, Capoose and Wolf) and porphyry Cu and Mo depos- its (e.g., Endako and Chu) ranging in age from Late Ju- rassic to Eocene. Exploration activity has historically been hindered by a limited understanding of the charac- ter and distribution of prospective units owing to the masking effects of overlying Eocene and Neogene ba- salt flows and extensive glacial till cover. The Targeting Resources through Exploration and Knowledge (TREK) project is a Geoscience BC initiative to inte- grate geophysical, geological and geochemical data in order to improve our geological understanding and, ul- timately, reduce the risk associated with exploration in such a poorly understood region (Clifford and Hart, 2014).

  • 2006 Nesting Season
    BRITISH COLUMBIA NEST RECORD SCHEME 52nd Annual Report - 2006 Nesting Season R. Wayne Campbell, Michael I. Preston and Linda M. Van Damme Biodiversity Centre for Wildlife Studies Report No. 8 April 2007 British Columbia Nest Record Scheme and Wildlife Afield – 2006 In addition to providing specific information on individual species, nests, and colonies, participants in the BC Nest Record Scheme often discover or learn new things about the biology and natural history of breeding birds in the province. These findings have important implications for our understanding of bird biology, life history, management, and conservation, and there is huge value in publishing those observations. In 2006, the Biodiversity Centre for Wildlife Studies published 22 articles in Wildlife Afield and its accompanying Supplement. The articles are: Arndt, J., E. Moore, L. Prosser, and R. Wege. 2006.

Mineral claims in the Wolf (4600 ha) and Capoose (500 ha) areas, which were partly enclosed by Entiako Provincial Park, are being incorporated into the park as claims lapse. In 2004, the Protected Areas of British Columbia Act was amended to include lapsed claims into Entiako Provincial Park resulting in a total park size of 50,681 ha. Since then, additional claims have lapsed and will be incorporated into the park. Currently only one claim (Capoose area) is still active. Entiako Protected Area (73,268 ha) was established under the Environment and Land Use Act in 2001.

  • Late Quaternary Glacial and Interglacial Environments of the Nechako River – Cheslatta Lake Area, Central British Columbia1
    Color profile: Disabled Composite Default screen 719 Late Quaternary glacial and interglacial environments of the Nechako River – Cheslatta Lake area, central British Columbia1 A. Plouffe and V.M. Levson Abstract: The Quaternary stratigraphy of the Nechako River – Cheslatta Lake area of central British Columbia is de- scribed and interpreted to reconstruct the late Quaternary history of the region. Exposures of glacial and nonglacial sediments deposited prior to the last glaciation (Fraser) are limited to three sites. Pollen assemblages from pre-Fraser nonglacial sediments at two of these sites reveal forested conditions around 39 000 BP. During the advance phase of the Fraser Glaciation, glacial lakes were ponded when trunk glaciers blocked some tributary valleys. Early in the glaci- ation, the drainage was free in easterly draining valleys. Subsequently, the easterly drainage was blocked either locally by sediments and ice or as a result of impoundment of the Fraser River and its tributaries east of the study area. Ice generally moved east and northeast from accumulation zones in the Coast Mountains. Ice flow was influenced by to- pography. Major late-glacial lakes developed in the Nechako River valley and the Knewstubb Lake region because po- tential drainage routes were blocked by ice. Résumé : La stratigraphie du Quaternaire de la région de la rivière Nechako et du lac Cheslatta sise au centre de la Colombie Britannique est décrite et interprétée dans le but de reconstruire l’histoire du Quaternaire tardif de cette ré- gion. Seul trois coupes stratigraphiques mettent en évidence des sédiments glaciaires et non-glaciaires mis en place avant la dernière glaciation (Fraser).
