WSC 69-2012 Water Supply Options Short Listing : Abbotsford rr- Z,IlMission Water & Sewer Services REPORT To : Abbotsford/Mission Water & Sewer Commission (WSC) From: Kristi Alexander, Water Planning Engineer Date: June 27, 2012 Subject: Water Supply Options Short-Listing File: 5600-30 Report No.: WSC 69-2012 WATER SEWER COMMISSION (WSC) RECOMMENDATIONS 1. THAT Report No. WSC 69-2012, dated June 27 , 2012, from Kristi Alexander, Water Planning Engineer, regarding Water Supply Options Short-Listing, be received; 2. THAT the District of Mission report to the AMWSC at the August meeting on their independent source study; 3. THAT staff move forward with further investigations of Norrish Creek Source Expansion, Fraser River and Stave Lake as preferred future water supply options; and 4. THAT, should the AMWSC wish to move forward with further investigations of three additional preferred supply options, that the additional budget, shown below, be transferred from contingency. a. Stave-to-Cannell Recharge: $100,000 b. Miracle Valley Aquifer: $350,000 c. Metro Vancouver Water: $50,000 BACKGROUND As Abbotsford and Mission grow, water demands will continue to increase. At some point, the existing water sources will not be sufficient to meet those demands. In anticipation of such a time, the Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) and its predecessor, the Central Fraser Valley Water Commission spent considerable effort over the last 20 years investigating future water source options. With the rejection of the Stave Lake P3 Water Supply project, it is necessary once again to examine options. This exercise is important in 2012, to ensure there is sufficient time to plan, permit, design and build infrastructure for a new source. Report No. WSC 69-2012 Page 2 of 4 Past source option reviews and recommendations hinged upon the assumption that the AMWSC sought a water supply solution that would best meet long-term needs ·(i.e. for 20-100 years) at the lowest net present value. Considering long term solutions come with significant up-front capital costs, the 2012 source option review also contemplates shorter-term (5-10 year) interim steps that may be more immediately affordable. Public Consultation In May 2012, the AMWSC launched a public outreach program to plan for the development of a new water source. A summary of feedback received is detailed in Report WSC 70-2012. DISCUSSION District of Mission Water Supply Study The District of Mission has completed a water demand and water supply study independent of the AMWSC. AMWSC staff are not familiar with the scope of the study. It is suggested that the District of Mission provide a report at the August AMWSC meeting with information on the recommendations of their independent study. Decisions made in Mission will impact the size and timing of a regional water source. Option Short-Listing Future water supply decision-making is a complex process. Factors that should be considered by any water utility seeking to increase its available supply include source capacity, capacity risk, distance, elevation, normal water quality, contamination risk, permitting complexity, availability of land, redundancy contribution, phasing practicality, cost and public acceptance. Each of these factors is explained in further detail in the Future Water Supply Options Short-Listing Report (Short-Listing Report) included as Attachment A. The Short-Listing Report examines supply options in three distinct categories: (i) existing source/infrastructure expansion; (ii) new natural sources; and (iii) water from other suppliers. For each source category, options are characterized according to the factors described earlier. From this characterization, further option investigation is either recommended or discouraged. ANALYSIS Options for Consideration There are several water supply options available to the AMWSC to meet its future water demands. However, some of those options are critically flawed and others have sufficient drawbacks to make it questionable whether the AMWSC should invest further resources into investigating their viability. The options remaining and perceived to be preferred for further investigations are: A - Existing Source/Infrastructure Expansion i) Norrish Creek Source Expansion B - New Natural Source Development i) Stave-to-Cannell Lake Recharge ii) Miracle Valley iii) Fraser River iv) Stave Lake C - Alternate Water Supplies v) Metro Vancouver Water vi) Fraser River Report No. WSC 69-2012 Page 3 of 4 The above list provides the AMWSC with potential water supply solutions that span from small (short-term) to large (long-term) as illustrated by the schematic below. Expand Norrlsh Fraser River Stave Lake Metro Vancouver Water Proposed Short-Listing Options The AMWSC has allocated a limited budget to the water source study; therefore, not all of the preferred options can be subject to further investigation. It is recommended that Stave Lake, the Fraser River and Norrish Creek Source Expansion be prioritized for further review. If the AMWSC would like to review the other three potentially viable options, additional funds will be required as follows: Stave-to-Cannell Lake Recharge - $100,000 Miracle Valley Aquifer - $350,000 • Metro Vancouver - $50,000 • Of the amount shown for Miracle Valley, $250,000 would be for hydrogeological field investigations as per a consultant's budgetary quote. (This is greater than Mission's 2011 test well drilling since the next stage of work will need to occur further north in undeveloped , rough terrain; $100 ,000 of the quote is for temporary road construction and environmental mitigation). Next Steps The next steps in the Water Supply Strategy are: Staff will conduct investigations of short-listed supply options. Consultants will be retained as needed for specialized expertise. These investigations will culminate with a draft report that proposes a future AMWSC Water Supply Strategy, which considers updated demand projections, the water efficiency study and the water source investigations. • Public Outreach Part II : Obtain feedback on the draft Future Water Supply Strategy report. • A final report will subsequently be presented at an AMWSC meeting and Mission and Abbotsford Council Meetings. As approved in Report WSC 50-2012 , the AMWSC will assess the need for an independent review, by a qualified professional, of the Water Supply Strategy once it is completed. Report No. WSC 69-2012 Page 4 of 4 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS The regional water financial plan has a budget of $300,000 for investigating short-listed options and public consultation. Of this, $50,000 is allocated for public consultation. The remaining $250,000 is anticipated to be sufficient to review the three priority options. If the AMWSC would like to review any or all of the other three potentially viable options, it is recommended that additional funds be transferred from the 2012 Water Capital contingency budget. (Note: Contingency is generally intended for non-DCC projects. While the Study is arguably a DCC-eligible project, there are no 2012 DCC budgets from which funds can be transferred. If all three additional options are explored, the full $500,000 contingency budget will be required). COMMUNICATIONS PLAN Reports will be posted on the Our Water Matters website and further public consultation will occur following completion of the draft Future Water Supply Strategy report. SUMMARY It is recommended that Mission report to the AMWSC on their independent source study. It is also recommended that staff move forward with investigations of Norrish Creek Source Expansion, Fraser River and Stave Lake. If the AMWSC wishes to move forward with investigations of Stave-to-Cannell Lake Recharge, Miracle Valley and/or Metro Vancouver Water, then additional budget should be transferred from contingency.

  • Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey
    Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Abstract A winter vegetation inventory and presence/not detected wildlife use survey was completed of BC Hydro’s Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area from October 1999 to March 2000. This study was done to provide BC Hydro with baseline data on the vegetation and wildlife found during the winter period at Hayward Lake. Aerial photographs and maps were used to stratify BC Hydro’s property around the lake into four vegetation strata: • Old Growth: Areas displaying complex structure, mature trees and no evidence of logging • Second Growth: Areas displaying evidence of past logging activity • Riparian: Areas paralleling water courses; streams, creeks • Wetland: Areas with water as the dominant ecosystem feature. The site was visited by car, canoe and on foot to verify these strata. Four plots in each of the strata were randomly selected to complete sixteen vegetation and wildlife use plots. The site was visited bi-weekly, on Wednesday mornings to complete these surveys. From the plot centre, four levels of vegetation were identified and surveyed: • Moss Layer: Vegetation within 2.50 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 0m- 0.5m high • Herb Layer: Vegetation within 5.64 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 0.5m - 1.0m high • Shrub Layer: Vegetation within 5.64 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 1.0m - 10m high • Tree Layer: Vegetation within 10 metres of plot centre; vegetation over 10 metres Wildlife or wildlife use seen in each of the 10 metre radius plots was recorded.

The Stave River WUP was initiated as a result of Condition 14 of the Stave Falls Powerplant Replacement Energy Project Certificate, which allowed BC Hydro to construct and operate the power facilities at Stave Falls in Mission, BC. This condition required BC Hydro to undertake a water use planning process for both Alouette River and Stave River systems, including Alouette, Stave Falls and Ruskin dams and Generating Stations. Two separate consultation processes were conducted to complete the Alouette and Stave River Water Use Plans. The initial Alouette Water Use Plan was submitted to the Comptroller of Water Rights in September 1996, with the current Alouette WUP submitted in April 2009 and summarized in a separate report. In 2004, the Comptroller of Water Rights (CWR) issued Orders under the Water Act in response to the Stave River WUP (BCH 2003).

    CHAPTER 13 Six Facets of Quartz Crystal Tools from the Stave River Duncan McLaren Cordillera Archaeology Brendan Gray Cordillera Archaeology Introduction and Background Crescent Beach Site (DgRr-1) indicates a low frequency Quartz crystals are relatively common in archaeological associated with Charles Phase strata dating between 5,500 sites of the lower Fraser River and Salish Sea regions. As of and 3500 BP (6300 to 3800 Cal BP). The highest frequency 2016 there are 93 recorded sites reported to contain quartz is found in Locarno Beach Phase components dating crystal objects in British Columbia (Figure 1). The majority between 3500 and 2500 BP (3800 to 2600 Cal BP), and a of these sites are situated on the eastern side of Vancouver lesser amount in the subsequent Marpole Phase from 2500 Island, the Fraser River drainage, the Peace River region, to 1500 BP (2600 to 1400 Cal BP). Patenaude (1985:201) and southeastern BC. A lower frequency of these objects in found a similar pattern at the mouth of the Pitt River. northwestern BC may be due to less archaeological work in that region compared to southern BC. Different types of quartz crystal artifacts found at the Ruskin Dam Site in the lower Fraser River region (Gray et al. 2010) are related to a range of tasks and activities. Here we explore six ‘facets’ of quartz crystal use: (1) processes of quartz crystal tool manufacturing; (2) use of quartz crystals as carving tools; (3) quartz crystal microblade industry; (4) quartz crystals as objects of personal ornaments; (5) quartz crystals and metaphysics; and (6) quartz crystal as an exchange commodity.

  • Fishing Strategy at the Ruskin Dam Site (Dhro-59) on the Stave River
    CHAPTER 14 Sturgeon as Staple: Fishing Strategy at the Ruskin Dam Site (DhRo-59) on the Stave River Brendan Gray Cordillera Archaeology Becky Wigen Pacific Identifications Duncan McLaren Cordillera Archaeology Introduction including the Harrison and Pitt Rivers (Ptolemy and Ethnographic and ethnohistoric literature indicate sturgeon Vennesland 2003). were an important resource for groups living in the Lower Fraser River Region (Lord 1886; McHalsie 2007; Suttles 1974). However, ichthyofaunal assemblages from most archaeological sites in the region often contain relatively large numbers of salmon bones, but sturgeon bones are absent or represented in low numbers. At the Ruskin Dam Site (DhRo-59) located on the Stave River (Figure 1), significantly more sturgeon bones were recovered compared to any other fish species. This suggests congruence with ethnographic accounts, but is anomalous when compared to other archaeological sites in the region. This chapter considers several explanations for this observed pattern and argues that sturgeon were a staple food at the site from 3000 years BP onwards. Fraser River Sturgeon Habitat and Ecology Two species of sturgeon are present in the Lower Fraser River: white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) (Figures 2 and 3), and green sturgeon (A. medirostris). White sturgeon are the largest fresh water fish in North America, reaching an impressive 6 m long and 600 kg in weight (Scott and Crossman 1973). Definitely anadromous, there are many records of these fish being caught in marine waters, and they are reported to prefer mouths of large rivers (Scott and Crossman 1973:91). They spawn in fresh water in the Spring. Scott and Crossman report that the flesh of green sturgeon has an unpleasant smell and taste (1973:91) that make it less preferable than white sturgeon, which has a mild and pleasant taste.

  • Experience the Fraser Concept Plan
    NO: R082 COUNCIL DATE: April 23, 2012 REGULAR COUNCIL TO: Mayor & Council DATE: April 17, 2012 FROM: General Manager, Parks, Recreation and Culture FILE: 6140-20/E SUBJECT: Experience the Fraser Concept Plan RECOMMENDATION The Parks, Recreation and Culture Department recommends that Council: 1. Receive this report as information; and 2. Endorse the “Experience the Fraser” Concept Plan as generally described in this report and which is attached to this report as Appendix 1. INTENT The purpose of this report is to provide information regarding the Experience the Fraser Project (ETF) that has been prepared by Metro Vancouver in conjunction with municipalities across the lower mainland and to obtain Council endorsement of the ETF and its implementation. BACKGROUND The Provincial Government granted Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley Regional District $2.0 Million in 2009 to develop a concept plan for a continuous trail system on both sides of the Fraser River between Hope and the Salish Sea (Strait of Georgia). This Concept Plan has now been completed and is titled “Experience the Fraser” and is attached to this report as Appendix 1. The Experience the Fraser plan is based on an objective that users of the trail system will: Experience and explore the dynamic Lower Fraser River Corridor from Hope to the Salish Sea...to celebrate the spirit and stories of its varied landscapes, diverse communities and rich natural and cultural heritage. ETF proposes to connect the Town of Hope with the Salish Sea along the Lower Fraser River by means of a trail network and the river itself.
