    HYDROLOGICAL CHARACTERIZATION OF THE STURGEON RIVER WATERSHED IN NORTHEASTERN ONTARIO: A HYDROMETR IC AND WATER ISOTOPE ANALYSIS (Thesis Format: Manuscript) BY NANCY ENGLAND GRADUATE PROGRAM IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES SCHOOL OF GRADUATE STUDIES NIPISSING UNIVERSITY NORTH BAY, ONTARIO APRIL, 2017 © NANCY ENGLAND, 2017 Abstract The Sturgeon River is a large watershed (~7000 km 2) located in northeastern Ontario and is a major headwater system of Lake Nipissi ng. River flow and lake levels are managed to balance a variety of environmenta l, social, and economic factors, as well as for the production of hydroelectric power, as described by the St urgeon River Water Management Plan. The objectives of the study were to compare the infl uence of the controlled (e.g. Lake Temagami) and uncontrolled subcatchments on resultant flow downstream; review 1979 (flood), 2010 (drought), and 2013 (contemporary year with wa ter isotope sampling) in the context of hydrologic history; and, explor e relationships between hydrol ogic characteristics and water isotope analysis during 2013, and recommend how information gained from water isotope tracers may improve future operation of the watershed. The historical hydrologic anal ysis involved the comparison of reservoir drawdowns, annual hydrographs, monthly boxplots, flood frequencies, and flow durati on curves, for river flow and dam outflow data at six different sites across the watershed. A calcu lated inflow data set was also prepared and the same metrics were compare d, to determine the relative influence of 3 hydroelectric reservoirs. In addition, the flow and meteorological conditions of two hydrologically significant spring freshets, the 1979 flood and drought of 2010, were compared to the study year (2013).

  • Mclaren Forest Conservation Reserve (C159)
    McLaren Forest Conservation Reserve (C159) Statement of Conservation Interest Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources North Bay District March 2005 Approval Statement We are pleased to approve this Statement of Conservation Interest for the McLaren Forest Conservation Reserve (C159). McLaren Forest Conservation Reserve is a 410 hectare site, 439 hectare site with forest reserves, located in Ecodistrict 5E-6 approximately 50 km south of Temagami along Highway 11 (figure 1). The boundary of the conservation reserve is located in the geographic townships of McLaren, Sisk and Gladman within the Corporation of the Municipality of Temagami in the District of Nipissing (figure 2). The eastern sections of the conservation reserve are within Nipissing Crown Game Preserve. The whole area is included within the Marten River Enhanced Management Area (E154r). McLaren Forest Conservation Reserve is bordered by Crown land, Marten Lake and the Nipissing Crown Game Preserve (figure 1). The conservation reserve is known to encompass significant life science values through the presence of such features as the old growth red and white pine forests that are found in the site. During the Lands for Life planning process the public was widely consulted and provided valuable input into what became Ontario’s Living Legacy. McLaren Forest Conservation Reserve was recognized for protection during the Keep It Wild Campaign and Ontario’s Living Legacy Land Use Strategy and is now part of the Crown Land Use Policy Atlas . Comments received during that time, and during consultation related to the formal Public Lands Act regulation of the boundaries of this conservation reserve were generally supportive of the protection of this area.

  • Position Plan – Executive Summary
    Executive Summary Founded in 1999, The Corporation of the Municipality of West Nipissing (West Nipissing) amalgamated the former Towns of Cache Bay and Sturgeon Falls, the organized Townships of Caldwell, Field and Springer, the unorganized Townships of Bertram, Latchford, Falconer, Loudon, MacPherson, Beaucage, Pedley, Kirkpatrick, Grant, Badgerow, Hugel, Fell, Bastedo, Gibbons, Crerar, McWilliams, Dana and a section of Janes. With a wide range of existing assets at its disposal, the new municipality offers a great deal of opportunity for the future. In particular, the municipal economy benefits from a wealth of natural resources, spectacular wilderness, proximity to two major northern cities, affordable real estate, a diverse and rich cultural heritage, and strong educational and health services. 805 McWilliamsMcWilliams DanaDana 6 Thistle Lake 64 539 GibbonsGibbons FELLFELL 11 River Valley CrerarCrerar Pike Lake BASTEDOBASTEDO 539 Tomiko Lake 539 Field 5 Stu FIELDFIELD HugelHugel BadgerowBadgeroMuskosongw rgeo Kipling Lake n Riv er GRANTGRANT 575 Chebogan Deer Lake Lake Bain Cache Lake Crystal Lake 64 Falls To Sudbury Tanner Lake SPRINGERSPRINGER 7 Little Sturgeon River River 17 PEDLEYPEDLEY Warren Verner BEAUCAGEBEAUCAGE chesnay KirkpatrickKirkpatrick 17 Springer u 64 Sturgeon Falls D CaldwellCaldwell 3 4 ? 17 2 Meadowside iver 64 Cache R Bay NipissingNipissing McPhersonMcPherson 1 1st1st NationNation Beaucage Pt. urgeon St Res.Res. #10#10 17 Lavigne Jocko Pt.
