  • Synthesis of Biological Research On
    DRAFT FINAL November 2007 Review of Biological Research on Juvenile and Adult Salmonid use of Vancouver Lake Prepared by: Portland District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Environmental Resources Review of Biological Research on Juvenile and Adult Salmonids and Survival at Vancouver Lake Abstract This document provides a synthesis of known biological research on juvenile and adult salmonids at Vancouver Lake, Vancouver Washington. This review of literature was prepared to support the Portland District U.S. Army Corps of Engineers involvement with the Vancouver Lake Watershed Partnership under the Corps Section 536 program. This specialized Corps program authority promotes the improvement of tidally influenced off-channel habitat in the Lower Columbia River. The goal of this report is to provide the Corps of Engineers the best information available to make management decisions on whether or not to move forward with improving habitat for salmonids at Vancouver Lake. Background and Lake History Vancouver Lake (approximately 2,600 acres) provides a variety of functions to the surrounding community including wildlife habitat, flood control, boating, bird watching, hiking, hunting and other recreational activities as well as environmental education and stewardship opportunities. The Lower Columbia River has been impacted over the past 100 years by the implementation of navigation features associated with the Columbia and Lower Willamette Rivers Navigation Channel, urban and rural development, federally funded flood control projects, and flow fluctuations attributable to the Federal Columbia River Power System. The cumulative effect of these actions has contributed to the degradation of the quality and quantity of the off-channel habitat in the Columbia River Basin.

We undertook an eight-year (2005–2013) research program that assessed the interaction of multiple factors driving cyanobacterial blooms in Vancouver Lake, a large, shallow eutrophic lake in Washington, USA. Our program consisted of nearly continuous monthly or weekly monitoring of water quality and plankton community composition over eight years, as well as multiple zooplankton grazing experiments over three years. We found a relatively consistent seasonal succession of phytoplankton and zooplankton assemblages, and a pattern of interacting factors influencing cyanobacterial bloom dynamics. Typically, a combined effect of decreased dissolved inorganic nitrogen (N), a sudden increase of dissolved inorganic phosphorus (P), and a cascading effect of zooplankton grazing created a ‘perfect storm’ of conditions that promoted the rapid proliferation of cyanobacteria over the two to three weeks before a bloom.

Cyanobacteria abundance and toxin (microcystin) levels have been monitored in this qPCR popular urban lake for several years; however, no previous studies have identified which cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria species produce toxins, nor analyzed how changes in environmental variables contribute to the ELISA fluctuations in toxic cyanobacteria populations. We used a suite of molecular techniques to analyze NMDS water samples from Vancouver Lake over two summer bloom cycles (2009 and 2010). Both intracellular MIC 16S and extracellular microcystin concentrations were measured using an ELISA kit. Intracellular microcystin mcyE concentrations exceeded WHO guidelines for recreational waters several times throughout the sampling period. PCR results demonstrated that Microcystis sp. was the sole microcystin-producing cyanobacteria species present in Vancouver Lake, although Microcystis sp.

  • Technical Review and Analysis
    Technical Review and Analysis Date: December 21, 2020 Subject: Technical Review and Analysis of Proposed Revision to Shoreline Jurisdiction City of Vancouver Shoreline Master Program Periodic Review From: Brian Carrico, WSP USA To: Rebecca Kennedy, City of Vancouver Route To: Matt Harding, Port of Vancouver USA INTRODUCTION The City of Vancouver (City) is undertaking a periodic review of the City’s Shoreline Master Program (SMP) as required by the Washington State Shoreline Management Act (SMA).1 The purpose of periodic review is to ensure the SMP (1) stays current with changes in laws and rules, (2) remains consistent with other city plans and development regulations, and (3) is responsive to changed circumstances, new information, and improved data. For amendments proposed under (3), the City must complete a review and analysis of the changed circumstances, new information, and/or improved data to support the amendments.2 As part of their review, the City is considering a modification to the definition of “shorelands” in Section 2.1 of the SMP in order to address one of the primary issues that emerged from ongoing stakeholder coordination with the Port of Vancouver. Outside of certain shorelines along the Columbia River where the standard shoreline jurisdiction3 already applies, the proposed revision would change the jurisdiction for High and Medium Intensity shoreline environment designations (SEDs), which are intended to support some level of development, to the standard jurisdiction. The revisions would maintain shoreline jurisdiction as the full extent of the 100-year floodplain within the SEDs that are intended for conservancy. The modification is described in the following section and is intended to strike a balance between accommodating primarily 1 The Shoreline Management Act of 1971, Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 90.58, and Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 173-26, as amended.
