Submitted by: I EBA ENGINEERING CONSULTANTS LTD. Kelowna, B.C. October, 1994 0808-88654 em EXECUTIVE SUMMARY I Twin Lakes Golf Resort is proposing a residential ,development on slopes overlooking the golf course, The proposal calls for approximately 256 single family residential units. Historically, development proposals in the Twin Lakes basin have raised objections primarily because of the concerns that water resources in the basin will be depleted. Recognizing the need to have water resource concerns addressed, Twin Lakes Golf Resort retained the services of EBA Engineering Consultants Ltd (EBA) of Kelowna, B.C. to undertake a hydrogeological study of the Twin Lakes basin. The purpose of the study being to determine whether water of adequate quantity and quality is available in the Twin Lakes basin to support the proposed development without causing unacceptable impacts. After a review of available information it became clear that detailed water basin and hydrogeological studies had not been completed for previous developments and should be done to properly assess the feasibility and potential impacts of the current development proposal. Further, it was clear that sufficient information on water chemistry in the Twin Lakes area was not available to meet the objectives of the study. Therefore, EBA embarked on a study aimed at investigating the water balance of the Twin Lakes basin, the hydrogeology in the vicinity of the golf course, and the water chemistry of ground and surface water in the study area.
