    Aquifer Classification Worksheet for Wark-Colquitz Aquifer (680) Aquifer number: 680 Proposed name of aquifer: Wark-Colquitz Aquifer (680). Aquifer Classification: IB (14) Aquifer Priority Ranking for Observation Wells: 68.33 Descriptive location of aquifer: The aquifer is found on south-eastern Vancouver Island, covering a land area that includes much of the municipalities of Colwood, Langford, and all of Esquimalt, Victoria, Oak Bay, Saanich, View Royal and District of Highlands. Date: June 2004. (New well information from 092B053 was included and overall statistics were updated on March 13, 2012 by Margaret Scott) NTS mapsheet: 092B/05, 092B/06, 092B/11, 092B/12. TRIM mapsheets: 092B.043, 092B.044, 092B.053, 092B.054. What geological formation does the aquifer belong to? Four bedrock types are included within this single aquifer: Colquitz gneiss, Wark gneiss, Karmutsen volcanics, and Leech River metavolcanic and metasedimentary bedrock. The majority of the aquifer is made up of Paleozoic crystalline igneous and meta-igneous rocks of the West Coast Crystalline Complex, which includes the Wark-Colquitz Complex. This metamorphic complex has been described by Massey (1994), and includes quartz diorite, tonalite, hornblende-plagioclase gneiss, quartz-feldspar gneiss, amphibolite, diorite, agmatite, gabbro, marble and metasediments. On the eastern area of the aquifer, the rock is mainly the Colquitz gneiss, a quartz-rich, layered, dark to light coloured unit that is thought to have formed from sedimentary protolith1. On the mid- to west area of the aquifer is found the Wark gneiss, a darker, more massive, hornblende-rich meta-igneous to meta-volcanic rock formed from an igneous diorite and volcanic protolith, which is interbedded with the lighter Colquitz gneiss.

SAANICHTON MARINA LTD. and THE QUEEN in right of BRITISH COLUMBIA (Defendants (Appellants)) [Indexed as: Claxton V. Saanichton Marina Ltd.] British Columbia Court of Appeal, Hinkson, Lambert and Locke JJ.A., March 30, 1989 E.R.A. Edwards, Q.C., and G.P Wallace, for the appellant Crown P.J. Pearlman, for the appellant Saanichton Marina Ltd. M.L. Mandell and S.A. Guenther, for the respondent In 1983 the province of British Columbia issued a licence of occupation to Saanichton Marina Ltd. for the purpose of constructing and operating a marina and breakwater in Saanichton Bay on the coast of Vancouver Island. The Tsawout Band, successors to the Saanich Indians, brought an action to stop the project on the grounds that it would be harmful to its right to fish which was recognized and guaranteed by the Saanich Treaty of 1852. The treaty was in the form of a deed by which the Hudson's Bay Company purported to purchase the aboriginal land rights of the Saanich Indians, but reserving to them the right to carry on their fisheries as formerly. The whole of the Bay was part of their traditional fishing grounds. At trial ([1987] 4 C.N.L.R. 48) a permanent injunction halting the project was granted against both the company and the Crown. The company and the Crown appealed. Held: Appeal dismissed. Permanent injunction against the Crown dissolved. 1. The 1852 agreement is a treaty within the meaning of s.88 of the Indian Act, R.S.C.

TD227.B7K46 2004 333.91’04’0971128 C2004-960175-X Executive summary This project focussed on the delineation and classification of developed aquifers within the Capital Regional District of British Columbia (CRD). The goal was to identify and map water-bearing unconsolidated and bedrock aquifers in the region, and to classify the mapped aquifers according to the methodology outlined in the B.C. Aquifer Classification System (Kreye and Wei, 1994). The project began in summer 2003 with the mapping and classification of aquifers in Sooke, and on the Saanich Peninsula. Aquifers in the remaining portion of the CRD including Victoria, Oak Bay, Esquimalt, View Royal, District of Highlands, the Western Communities, Metchosin and Port Renfrew were mapped and classified in summer 2004. The presence of unconsolidated deposits within the CRD is attributed to glacial activity within the region over the last 20,000 years. Glacial and glaciofluvial modification of the landscape has resulted in the presence of significant water bearing deposits, formed from the sands and gravels of Capilano Sediments, Quadra and Cowichan Head Formations.

  • Bedrock Geology of the North Saanich-Cobble Hill Area, British Columbia, Canada
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF John Michael Kachelmeyer for the degree ofMaster of Science in Geology presented on May 30, 1978 Title: BEDROCK GEOLOGY OF THE NORTHSAANICH-COBBLE HILL AREAS, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA Abstract approved: Redacted for Privacy Keith F./Oles The bedrock of the North Saanich-Cobble Hill areas consists of igneous and sedimentary rocks of Early Jurassic through Late Cretaceous age.Early Jurassic andesitic Bonanza Volcanics are intruded by Middle Jurassic Saanich Granodiorite plutonic rocksand dikes.Late Cretaceous Nanaimo Group clastic rocksnonconformably overlie these Jurassic units.The four oldest formations of the group (Comox, Has lam, Extension-Protection, and Cedar District) are exposed within the study area. The Nanaimo Group formations were deposited within a subsid- ing marine basin (the Nanaimo Basin) located to the east ofsouthern Vancouver Island.Uplift of pre-Late Cretaceous basement rocks on Vancouver Island to the west and on mainland British Columbia tothe east of the basin created rugged, high-relief source areasthat were chemically weathered in a warm tropical climate and mechanically eroded by high-energy braided stream systems. The Comox and Has lam sediments were deposited in response to a continual transgression of a Late Cretaceous seaway overthis rugged terrain.Braided stream systems trending north-northwest into the basin deposited Comox (Benson Member) gravelsand sands onto a high-energy, cliffed shoreline.Erosion of the highlands and transgression of the marine seaway resulted in subduedtopographic relief and the deposition of sediments by low-energymeandering streams within a river traversed coastal plain, followedby silt and clay deposition in tidal flat and lagoonal environments,and finally by sand deposition in a higher energy barrier bar environment.Contin- ued marine transgression resulted in the depositionof massive marine mudstones and cyclic sandstone to mudstone sequencesof the Has lam Formation.

  • Paleomagnetism and Counterclockwise Tectonic Rotation of the Upper Oligocene Sooke Formation, Southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia
    499 Paleomagnetism and counterclockwise tectonic rotation of the Upper Oligocene Sooke Formation, southern Vancouver Island, British Columbia Donald R. Prothero, Elizabeth Draus, Thomas C. Cockburn, and Elizabeth A. Nesbitt Abstract: The age of the Sooke Formation on the southern coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada, has long been controversial. Prior paleomagnetic studies have produced a puzzling counterclockwise tectonic rotation on the underlying Eocene volcanic basement rocks, and no conclusive results on the Sooke Formation itself. We took 21 samples in four sites in the fossiliferous portion of the Sooke Formation west of Sooke Bay from the mouth of Muir Creek to the mouth of Sandcut Creek. After both alternating field (AF) and thermal demagnetization, the Sooke Formation produces a single-component remanence, held largely in magnetite, which is entirely reversed and rotated counterclockwise by 358 ± 128. This is consistent with earlier results and shows that the rotation is real and not due to tectonic tilting, since the Sooke Formation in this region has almost no dip. This rotational signature is also consistent with counterclockwise rota- tions obtained from the northeast tip of the Olympic Peninsula in the Port Townsend volcanics and the Eocene–Oligocene sediments of the Quimper Peninsula. The reversed magnetozone of the Sooke sections sampled is best correlated with Chron C6Cr (24.1–24.8 Ma) or latest Oligocene in age, based on the most recent work on the Liracassis apta Zone mol- luscan fauna, and also a number of unique marine mammals found in the same reversed magnetozone in Washington and Oregon.
