The two watercourses that will be crossed are unnamed tributaries to Henderson Creek (WC10 and WC11). Henderson Creek is a direct tributary to the Pouce Coupe River. The classification and accompanying RAP for the watercourses in Alberta were determined according to the Code of Practice for Pipelines and Telecommunication Lines Crossing a Water Body (AENV 2000a) and the Code of Practice Grande Prairie Management Area Map (AENV 2006). Of the two unnamed tributaries to Henderson Creek, one is mapped and the other is unmapped (AENV 2006). The mapped unnamed tributary to Henderson Creek (WC10) is located in LSD 16-2-79-12 W6M and is uncoded; therefore, it has a Class D designation with no RAP. The remaining watercourse flows into the same unnamed tributary to Henderson Creek and has the same Class and RAP. Henderson Creek is also an uncoded Class D stream with no RAP. 3.3 Aquatic Habitat Assessment This section summarizes the results of the aquatic habitat assessment. Table 4 provides mean channel characteristics from the entire sample reach and Table 5 provides fish habitat potential ratings for fish- bearing watercourses. Site-specific data and photographs for each watercourse crossing assessment are provided in Appendix A. At the time of assessment, 6 of the 11 watercourses were dry. In B.C., there were five dry watercourses (WC1, WC4, WC5, WC6, WC7), and in Alberta, there was one (WC11). In addition, two watercourses, Fox Creek (WC2) and Sergeant Creek (WC9) in B.C. had standing water but no discernable flow (i.e., back flooding from a beaver dam downstream, low water levels, or low water barriers). The remaining three watercourses, the Kiskatinaw River (WC3) and Pouce Coupe River (WC8) in B.C. and the unnamed tributary to Henderson Creek (WC10) had flowing water at the time of the assessment. Watercourses that were dry or had standing water were identified as intermittent watercourses. Table 4 summarizes the water quality parameter measurements for the three watercourses that had flowing water and the two watercourses that had standing water. The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) (2005) guideline for the protection of aquatic life for pH ranges from 6.5 to 9.0 and for coldwater biota DO is 9.5 mg/L in early life stages and 6.5 mg/L in other life stages. The pH levels for all five watercourses measured at the time of the survey were within the preferred range for the protection of aquatic life.

    Quarterly Report on Short-Term Water Approvals and Use April to June 2011 About the BC Oil and Gas Commission The BC Oil and Gas Commission is an independent, single-window regulatory agency with responsibilities for overseeing oil and gas operations in British Columbia, including exploration, development, pipeline transportation and reclamation. The Commission’s core roles include reviewing and assessing applications for industry activity, consulting with First Nations, ensuring industry complies with provincial legislation and cooperating with partner agencies. The public interest is protected through the objectives of ensuring public safety, protecting the environment, conserving petroleum resources and ensuring equitable participation in production. TABLE OF CONTENTS Introduction Page 2 Processes and Requirements Page 3 Results Page 4 Summary Page 7 Appendix A Page 8 Appendix B Page 9 Appendix C Page 12 1 BC Oil and Gas Commission Quarterly Report on Short-Term Water Approvals and Use Introduction The Oil and Gas Activities Act (OGAA) provides authority to the BC Oil and Gas Commission (Commission) to issue short-term water use approvals under Section 8 of the Water Act to manage short-term water use by the oil and gas industry. Approvals under Section 8 of the Water Act authorize the diversion and use of water for a term not exceeding 12 months. This report details the Commission’s responsibilities and authorities under Section 8 of the Water Act; it does not include the diversion and use of water approved by other agencies (such as the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, which has responsibility for water licensing) or for purposes other than oil and gas activities.

    DAWSON CREEK LIMITED WATERSHED ASSESSMENT Prepared for: DAWSON CREEK WATERSHED SOCIETY Box 14 Farmington, BC V0C 1N0 & CITY OF DAWSON CREEK PO Box 150, Dawson Creek, BC V1G 4G4 Prepared by: HEMMERA ENVIROCHEM INC. 250-1380 Burrard Street Vancouver, BC V6Z 2H3 File: 631-001.02 January 2006 Dawson Creek Watershed Society / City of Dawson Creek Hemmera Envirochem Inc. Dawson Creek Limited Watershed Assessment File: 631-001.02 Final Report - i - January 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report documents the findings of the Dawson Creek Limited Watershed Assessment conducted by Hemmera Envirochem Inc, (“Hemmera”) on behalf of the Dawson Creek Watershed Society. The Dawson Creek Watershed is located near the City of Dawson Creek, in northeastern BC. The watershed supports a number of land uses and economic activities including: urban development, agriculture, oil and gas exploration, and recreation and tourism activities. Human development activities in the watershed have altered Dawson Creek. The Dawson Creek drainage basin covers an area of 274 km2, has a mainstem length of 43.5 km and includes several tributaries (Ski Hill Creek, South Dawson Creek, Frondizi Creek, plus many un- named tributaries). The watershed drains from west to east, through the City of Dawson Creek and empties into the Pouce Coupe River. The purpose of the watershed assessment is to develop an understanding of the baseline watershed conditions. It is intended that this information will be used to assist the Dawson Creek Watershed Society in developing strategies for restoring and managing the watershed. The assessment methodology involved research of existing baseline information; compilation of baseline information onto GIS maps; discussion of baseline conditions and identification of preliminary issues and recommendations.
