A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park
A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park Freshwater Research Limited A Preliminary Assessment of the Native Fish Stocks of Jasper National Park David W. Mayhood FWR Freshwater Research Limited Calgary, Alberta Prepared for Canadian Parks Service Jasper National Park Jasper, Alberta Part 3 of a Fish Management Plan for Jasper National Park July 1992 Cover & Title Page. Alexander Bajkov’s drawings of bull trout from Jacques Lake, Jasper National Park (Bajkov 1927:334-335). Top: Bajkov’s Figure 2, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [female], 500 mm. in length from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Bottom: Bajkov’s Figure 3, captioned “Head of specimen of Salvelinus alpinus malma, [male], 590 mm. in length, from Jaques [sic] Lake.” Although only sketches, Bajkov’s figures well illustrate the most characteristic features of this most characteristic Jasper native fish. These are: the terminal mouth cleft bisecting the anterior profile at its midpoint, the elongated head with tapered snout, flat skull, long lower jaw, and eyes placed high on the head (Cavender 1980:300-302; compare with Cavender’s Figure 3). The head structure of bull trout is well suited to an ambush-type predatory style, in which the charr rests on the bottom and watches for prey to pass over. ABSTRACT I conducted an extensive survey of published and unpublished documents to identify the native fish stocks of Jasper National Park, describe their original condition, determine if there is anything unusual or especially significant about them, assess their present condition, outline what is known of their biology and life history, and outline what measures should be taken to manage and protect them. -

Wapiti River Water Management Plan Summary
Wapiti River Water Management Plan Summary Wapiti River Water Management Plan Steering Committee February 2020 Summary The Wapiti River basin lies within the larger Smoky/Wapiti basin of the Peace River watershed. Of all basins in the Peace River watershed, the Wapiti basin has the highest concentration and diversity of human water withdrawals and municipal and industrial wastewater discharges. The Wapiti River Water Management Plan (the Plan) was developed to address concerns about water diversions from the Wapiti River, particularly during winter low-flow periods and the potential negative impacts to the aquatic environment. In response, a steering committee of local stakeholders including municipalities, Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, industry, agriculture, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance (MPWA), supported by technical experts from Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP), was established. The steering committee initiated the development of a water management plan that includes a Water Conservation Objective (WCO) and management recommendations for the Wapiti River basin from the British Columbia border to its confluence with the Smoky River. A WCO is a limit to the volume of water that can be withdrawn from the Wapiti River, ensuring that water flow remains in the river system to meet ecological objectives. The Plan provides guidance and recommendations on balancing the needs of municipal water supply, industry uses, agriculture and other uses, while maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem in the Alberta portion of the Wapiti River basin. Wapiti River Water Management Plan | Summary 2 Purpose and Objectives of the Plan The Plan will be provided as a recommendation to AEP and if adopted, would form policy when making water allocation decisions under the Water Act, and where appropriate, under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act by establishing a WCO for the Wapiti River. -

Falher and Cadomin Diagenesis and Implications for Reservoir Quality Nicholas B
Falher and Cadomin diagenesis and implications for reservoir quality Nicholas B. Harris Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, University of Alberta Summary The Barremian – Aptian Cadomin Formation and the Lower Albian Falher Member of the Spirit River Formation of northwestern Alberta are both are significant hydrocarbon reservoirs in the deep basin part of the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Equivalents of parts of the Lower and Upper Mannville of central and eastern Alberta (Hayes et al., 1994), these units are characterized by intervals of coarse sediments, notably including conglomerates, because of their proximity to the Cordilleran Uplift to the west. A series of regressive Falher tongues extending north and northeast into the basin have been designated A through at least F, with a Falher G identified and described by Zonneveld and Moslow (2004); these are sandwiched between finer grained basinal sediments of the Wilrich Member. The coarse tongues of Falher sediment are interpreted as strandline and shoreface deposits (Caddel and Moslow, 2004). While Cadomin lithogies are similar, depositional environments are interpreted as alluvial fan deposits derived from the Cordillera, locally reworked by a northward-flowing paleo-Spirit River. In both formations, porosity and permeability values are generally low. Falher porosities are rarely greater than 15% at depths of 1700 to 2000 metres and rarely greater than 8% at depths of 2500 to 3000 metres. Porosities in this Cadomin dataset range from 0 to 8%from 2400 to 2900 metres burial depth. Permeabilities are generally less than 10 mD at depths of 2400 to 3000 meters but may are locally as high as 1000 mD at 1700 to 2000 metres in the Falher. -

Mill Creek at Mill Creek Ravine Park Swimming Pool
CREEKWATCH – Edmonton Sampling Locations MILL CREEK AT MILL CREEK RAVINE PARK SWIMMING POOL Parking & Sampling Access Stream Profile Mill Creek flows through south central Edmonton before entering the North Saskatchewan River. Named after a flourmill established in 1878 near the creek’s mouth, it enters Edmonton’s City limits through passing beneath Anthony Henday Drive. It eventually opens up into Mill Creek Ravine that offers scenic views and hiking opportunities within the bustling city of Edmonton. Sections of the creek are engineered underground to accommodate City infrastructure, and this includes the final section of the creek that enters the North Saskatchewan River through a raised culvert. The City of Edmonton is currently exploring the potential of resurfacing the north portion of the creek. Access (See Map) Access at Mill Creek Ravine Park, Mill Creek Swimming Pool: 9555 84 Ave NW Edmonton. Turn onto 95A St NW and park at the Mill Creek Swimming Pool. Sample at the bridge over Mill Creek. GPS Coordinates at sampling location: 53.520047, -113.473965 CREEKWATCH – Edmonton Sampling Locations WHITEMUD CREEK AT MOUTH Parking & Sampling Access Stream Profile Whitemud Creek is a major tributary of the North Saskatchewan River and provides many vital terrestrial and aquatic ecological functions in the southwest portion of Edmonton. Whitemud Creek was named during the Palliser Expedition for the white-coloured mud along the creek’s banks. The ravine provides ample opportunity for hiking and interactions with nature through old growth coniferous forests, deciduous and mixed-wood forests, meadows, and riparian communities. Access (See Map) Turn off of Fox Drive onto Keillor Rd, head WEST and park along the creek. -
