Environmental Impact Study Stage 1 Final – Rev 0
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. -

A comparison is made with the inlets of southeast Alaska, the mainland coast of British Columbia and Vancouver Island. It is shown that the general level of intensif yy of secondary undulations is highest for Vancouver Island inlets, and least for those of Chile and Alaska. -

Pacific Oceanographic Group March 1968 Programmed by The Canadian Committee on Oceanography Drift Card Releases and Recoveries in Burke Channel, British Columbi.a, 1967 by E..H. Herlinveaux INTRODUCTION Burke Channel is the main migratory route of the pink salmon moving into and out of the Bella Coola River system (Figure 1). On their way to the sea, the pink salmon spend approximately twq months (mid~April to mid-June) in the system, during which time a significant and variable mortality occurs. The mortality must be associated partly with environmental factors. among which water movements are considered to be most significant. Water movements may either directly tiansport the fish, or, by altering the salinity distribution, and! or by concentrating or dispersing food organisms, modify their travel. Furthermore , variation in water movements may change the nutrient supply, which in turn will alter production of food necessary for growth and survivaL An extensive 5=year study of the l!spring Qceanographic conditionsl! in the system was terminated in 1967.
