Brandes, and Laura Brandes ii Acknowledgements Sponsors These proceedings provide a written record of the one-and-a-half day forum Watersheds 2016: Building Capacity for Collaboration and Watershed Governance in British Columbia. The forum was held from September 30th to October 1st, 2016 on the unceded Coast Salish territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh Nations at Simon Fraser University’s Harbour Centre and Wosk Centre for Dialogue in Vancouver, B.C. The event was made Partners possible with the support of a number of sponsors and partners; the forum strategic advisors; and the organizing efforts of the Watersheds 2016 Planning team, which was comprised of members of the four co-hosting organizations. Hosts Field trip and workshop organizers, staff, contrac- tors, and volunteers were invaluable to the success of Watersheds 2016. The creation of this proceedings re- port was based on the efforts of the team of volunteer note takers who diligently captured the presentations and discussions at each of the sessions at the forum: Joseph Gothreau, Kate Hewitt, Natalya Melnychuk, Kevin Ngo, Maria Nguyen, Kelly Schnare, Megan Spencer, and Nicole Wilson.

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.

This information is necessary to determine whether remedial action to eliminate/diminish these sediment sources is warranted to assist in the recovery of Cowichan River chinook stocks. The specific objectives of the study were to: 1) monitor suspended sediment levels above and below known point sources at various flows during the 2005-2006 winter, 2) determine the level of fine sediment in selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, 3) assess incubation survival by in situ trials and by hydraulic sampling at selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, and 4) undertake a literature review on the effects of fine sediment on egg-to-fry survival. Suspended sediment levels were monitored by taking in situ turbidity measurements and by collecting water samples for lab analysis of total suspended solids (TSS). Substrate composition of spawning beds was assessed by collection of sediment samples at 1 site above the sediment sources (control) and 2 sites below the sediment sources (test sites).

Founded in 1670, the HBC was given exclusive rights to trade in Northern North America. Over the next century and a half, the Company expanded from its Hudson Bay beginnings, pushing west to the Pacific Ocean and including the coast from what is now British Columbia as far south as Northern California. However, in 1843, as a result of a dispute with the Americans, the HBC moved its main southwestern headquarters from Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River to Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island. In 1849 Vancouver Island became a colony of Great Britain and remained a separate colony until joined with British Columbia, on the mainland, to form one colony in 1866.
