Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat Pacific Region Science Response 2017/031 REVIEW OF POTENTIAL IMPACTS ASSOCIATED WITH RECENT AND PROPOSED OKANAGAN SOCKEYE SALMON FRY INTRODUCTIONS TO SKAHA AND OKANAGAN LAKES Context The Columbia River Basin supports a Sockeye Salmon (Oncorhynchus nerka) aggregate that is composed of three Sockeye Salmon populations including: the Okanagan population from British Columbia (BC), Canada, the Wenatchee Lake population from Washington State, and a small population from Redfish Lake in Idaho that is listed under the United States Endangered Species Act (ESA). On average, the Okanagan population has accounted for greater than 80% of all Sockeye Salmon returning to the Columbia Basin in the most recent decade. Anadromous Sockeye Salmon and freshwater-resident kokanee are two ecotypes within Oncorhynchus nerka that occur frequently as sympatric paired populations sharing a common nursery (juvenile-rearing) lake. The closely related ecotypic pairs typically develop naturally, with the presence of Sockeye Salmon believed to give rise to the subsequent development of kokanee. Okanagan Lake currently provides no access to Sockeye Salmon but contains shore- and stream-spawning kokanee that display limited morphological and genetic differentiation and may constitute incipient ecotypes. Okanagan Lake has experienced extensive environmental perturbation over the past 100 years and the evolutionary trajectory of the kokanee ecotypes (stable, increasing or decreasing genetic differentiation) is not known. As part of a program to introduce Sockeye Salmon into Okanagan Lake, the Okanagan Nation Alliance (ONA) initiated introductions of hatchery-origin Sockeye Salmon to Skaha Lake as an initial, 12-year experiment to provide results to inform future introductions to Okanagan Lake. -

Technical Report for Skaha Bench Sub-GI
Skaha Bench Sub- Geographic Indication July 2018 Technical Description and Geographic Extent Documentation in support of a formal application to the BC Wine Authority for the creation of a new sub-GI named Skaha Bench. Scott Smith, Eterrna Consulting Pat Bowen, Summerland Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Page 1 Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication Skaha Bench Sub-Geographic Indication TECHNICAL DESCRIPTIO N AND GEOGRAPHIC EXT ENT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The proposed sub-Geographic Indication (sub-GI) is located along the east side of Skaha Lake spanning a total length of approximately 10 km in a north south direction and an area of just under 365 ha. As of 2016, the delineated area contained approximately 75 ha of vineyards, split evenly between the northern and southern portions of the sub-GI. The delineation also encompasses areas of rock outcrop, a large residential area (Heritage Hills estates) and significant areas of orchard lands. The proposed sub-GI is composed of a single landscape element – the Late Pleistocene aged glaciolacustrine terrace (bench). The origin of the glaciolacustrine terrace and the nature of its surface relate to the period at the end of the last ice age during deglaciation when the temporary Glacial Lake Penticton existed some 12,000 to 10,000 years ago on the floor of the Okanagan valley including the area currently along the east side of Skaha Lake. The unconsolidated materials that underlie the terrace are for the most part comprised of silt and fine sand and without significant stone content. The soils that form on these sediments are very favourable for wine grape production. -
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). -
