(BGC) have been retained to complete geotechnical feasibility assessments for horizontal directional drilling (HDD) at select stream crossings along the proposed pipeline corridor. In August 2013, BGC supervised the drilling of two boreholes adjacent to the proposed HDD alignment at the Coquihalla River in Hope BC. WorleyParsons, under subcontract to BGC, completed geophysical surveys at the same site in July 2013. Results from the scour analysis estimate a maximum scour depth of approximately 2.5 m below the thawleg during a 200-year flood event. Given this result, the depth of cover above the proposed HDD borepath remains adequate for the entire HDD length. The HDD exit point on the right (north) bank is inside the 200-year floodplain limit and is therefore at risk of inundation should a large scale flood event occur during construction. However, because the exit point remains on the inside of the channel meander, incident energy is low therefore bank erosion is not anticipated to be significant. Further to this, based on a review of historical air photo imagery and a walk-over of the site, no significant bank instability was observed adjacent to the proposed HDD alignment. Consequently, it is not anticipated that channel migration caused by bank erosion would be sufficient to impact upon the proposed HDD alignment. However, overbank flows could result in localized scour. Therefore, additional design measures should be considered for the short section of the pipeline that lies within the mapped floodplain to the east of the HDD exit point. In general, soils encountered during investigative drilling appear to be stable with no caving observed in either borehole with the exception of the uppermost approximately 12-13 m of the overlying fluvial deposit where borehole stability observations are not available due to the use of casing advancement. Within this region borehole instabilities may need to be addressed during construction through the use of casing. One isolated zone of complete drilling mud circulation loss was encountered in very coarse material at a depth between 21.0 m and 21.5 m. Thus, given the geological origin of the material in the vicinity of the HDD crossing, and the complete loss of circulation experienced during the investigative drilling, intermittent losses in circulation may be encountered along the HDD borepath, and will have to be addressed through the use of the appropriate drilling fluids, casing or by other techniques. The minimum separation depth between the proposed HDD borepath and the river bed is 26 m. Comparing this separation distance and the elevation change from the HDD entry point to the deepest point of the borepath (approximately 28 m), the risk of loss of drilling fluids into the river is anticipated to be low based on anticipated overburden resistance due to weight of the overlying strata. However, given the nature of the fluvial soil deposits observed during investigative drilling, this risk should be calculated and confirmed by the HDD design team using the borepath geometry for frictional losses and the HDD rig and pumping characteristics. 0095-150-04 HDD Geotechnical Feasibility Report - Coquihalla River Page i BGC ENGINEERING INC. Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Apr 04, 2014 Coquihalla River at RK 1043.2 Project No.: 0095-150-14 Based on the observations from two boreholes and the geophysics, an HDD crossing at this location can be considered feasible from a geotechnical perspective. The conclusions presented herein are based solely on the limited scope of the investigation undertaken at this time for the purpose of obtaining preliminary information, and additional investigation should be considered as part of detailed design. 0095-150-04 HDD Geotechnical Feasibility Report - Coquihalla River Page ii BGC ENGINEERING INC.

  • New Ice Climbs in SW BC Version 12.1
    New Ice Climbs in SW BC Version 12.1 Last Updated December, 2017 (more or less in guidebook order) This is a listing of all new or newly reported ice and mixed routes (excluding fully alpine climbs) climbed and described since the publication of West Coast Ice’s second edition. Every year there are some unreported new routes which get included here later on when they are described to us. Info on 2004-2005 and 2005-2006 climbs was compiled primarily by Don Serl and Adrian Burke from reports made on westcoastice.com and cascadeclimbers.com; information on more recent climbs has been compiled by Adrian Burke and Drew Brayshaw. You are welcome to print this info and tuck it into your copy of West Coast Ice until such time as we get a third edition published! To save on space the incomplete listing of routes in the Okanagan, Kamloops and Wells Gray areas listed in previous updates has been dropped. The only area with climbs not included in the West Coast Ice guidebook included in this update is the Princeton-Keremeos corridor. South- central BC from the US border to Wells Gray to Revelstoke has enough routes that it would be best served by its own, separate, comprehensive guidebook. MOUNT SEYMOUR: Unnamed Routes 25-30m WI3-3+ and mixed. At least two unnamed half pitch routes were climbed on the east and southeast faces of Pump Peak on Mt Seymour during a protracted spell of good weather in January 2007. One of the routes, on the SE face (Ian Bennett and Robb Priestley) had previously been climbed with rock pro (Andrei Mecl) and featured some mixed climbing, while the other one, on the east face consisted of two short ice pillars linked by a snow ramp (Jordan Peters and Steven Harng).

The Cascade Mountains are located between the Coast Mountains and the Interior Plateau in southwestern British Columbia. The Coast Mountains were glaciated by mountain glaciation followed by frontal retreat, whereas the Interior Plateau underwent ice sheet glaciation followed by downwasting and stagnation. The Cascades were supposed to have undergone a style of glaciation transitional between these two.

  • 2.1 Geology 2.1.1 Bedrock Geology the Upper Reaches of Coldwater
    2.1 Geology 2.1.1 Bedrock Geology The upper reaches of Coldwater River and the major west bank tributaries, such as Juliet Creek, drain the eastern slopes of the Cascade Mountains. This is a region of high relief with summit elevations reaching 7,000 feet. As indicated on the bedrock geology map, shown in Figure 2.1.1, the Cascades are formed primarily of igneous rocks (granodiorite, quartz diorite, and granite) with volcanic intrusions (gabbro', tuff, and breccia). Sedimentary rocks (conglomerates, sandstones and shales) occur locally. The main stem of Coldwater River is situated within the Thompson Plateau (as defined by Holland, 1976). This is a region of gently rolling upland separated by steep walled, flat floored valleys. Upland elevations generally range from See+ 4,000 to 5,500 h!, with valley floor elevations being approximately 1,000 to 1,500 feet below the level of the adjacent upland. Bedrock geology consists principally of sedimentary rocks (aysillite, slate, quartzite, limestone, greywacke, chlorite schist, greenstone, conglomerate, sandstone, and shale) with local volcanic intrusions of andesite, tuff and breccia. Small outcrops of the underlying igneous batholith occur locally. A more detailed description of the bedrock geology, including mapping at a scale of 1:250,000, can be found in Rice (1947), Monger (1947), Cockfield (1948) , and Duffel and McTaggart (1952) .
