Bernard O. Bauer, University of British Columbia Supervisor, Professor Mark S. Lorang, University of Montana Supervisory Committee Member, Professor John S. Richardson, University of British Columbia Supervisory Committee Member, Professor Gholamreza Naser, University of British Columbia University Examiner, Professor December 31, 2016 (Date submitted to Grad Studies) II ABSTRACT Substrate requirements are an important component of the multifaceted spawning needs of salmon, and this research effort was directed at developing a greater understanding of sediment transport dynamics and bed material response in the Middle Shuswap River in consequence of the emplacement and subsequent management of Wilsey Dam. Downstream of Wilsey Dam the river provides spawning habitat for coho (Oncorhynchus kisutch), chinook (O. tshawytscha), pink (O. gorbuscha) and sockeye (O. nerka) salmon. This thesis suggests that sand dredged from deposits filling the upstream reservoir basin of the dam could be redeposited downstream when coupled with specific flow releases (≥100 cubic metres per second). This is seen as a viable option for sediment management on the Middle Shuswap River aimed at restoring sediment transport processes and preserving spawning habitat. Maintaining sediment transport processes after dam emplacement is an important consideration for ecological processes in rivers, consistent with the notion of holistic dam management (Ligon et al. 1995, Tharme 2003) An experimental underwater Automated Grain Sizing method was developed for determining the median grain size (D50) of glide facies throughout the 28.4 km study area. On this basis, estimates of viable salmon spawning habitat were updated from 2002 and mapped below (190,906 m2) and above (387,265 m2) Wilsey Dam. Grain size distributions showed a fining trend in the downstream direction for the Middle Shuswap River, with significant coarsening of bed substrate in the 0.2 km section immediately below the canyon downstream of Wilsey Dam. A one-dimensional (1D) sediment transport model, based on the Wilcock and Crowe (2003) transport equation, showed that sand reintroduced during spring freshet to a 1200 m reach below the dam flushed quickly through in the model. Gravel was also mobilized upon sand reintroduction. The model is an oversimplification of site conditions and would need to be field tested during sand reintroduction trials to establish model integrity. Research undertaken in this thesis contributes to the growing amount of literature on the biophysical impacts of hydroelectric dams and presents ways dam operators can approach and mitigate disruptions to sediment transport process and their resulting ecological impacts.

  • Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish & Wildlife
    SLOCAN LAKE FORESHORE FISH & WILDLIFE HABITAT ASSESSMENT INCLUDING FORESHORE INVENTORY AND MAPPING (FIM) AQUATIC HABITAT INDEX (AHI) Prepared for: SLOCAN LAKE STEWARDSHIP SOCIETY PO Box 322, New Denver, BC V0G 2S0 Prepared by: GALENA ENVIRONMENTAL Ltd 8075 Upper Galena Farm Rd, Silverton, BC V0G 2B0 May 2011/File No. 09-31 Slocan Lake Foreshore Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, FIM & AHI EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Responding to concerns about water quality in Slocan Lake and the potential increase in the use of the lake, local residents formed the Slocan Lake Stewardship Society (SLSS) in June 2006. Expanding development pressures in the Slocan Lake area and increasing use of the foreshore areas provided the impetus to develop a strategy that will serve to direct lake and foreshore use in a manner which would respect community values and protect the existing ecosystem. One of the goals of the Society is to lead the development of a set of community-driven guidelines, in accordance with Regional, Provincial and Federal policies and regulations. These guidelines would serve to direct land and water use in and around the lake and to achieve a uniform standard for the activities of developers, local governments, the tourism industry and local residents. To serve as a basis for the development of future land-use guidelines, the SLSS undertook to complete a study of the present state of Slocan Lake. The present report documents the results of three components of that study: a Fish and Wildlife Habitat Assessment, a Foreshore Inventory and Mapping (FIM), and an Aquatic Habitat Index (AHI). In 2007, staff from Fisheries and Oceans Canada, Nelson, carried out an Overview Foreshore Inventory and Mapping of the Slocan Lake shoreline (Arnett 2009).
