TEACHING (a) Brief description of areas of special interest and accomplishment Fluid Mechanics simultaneously demands a good understanding of fundamental physical principles and mathematics. Students learn from me that unless they are willing to use these skills, formulae and computer programs are of little use. Most of my class examples, are either related directly to problems of current engineering interest, or designed to provoke the curiosity of my students.

V6C 2W2 August 23, 2007 Executive Summary The Nechako Enhancement Society (NES), a joint partnership of Alcan Inc. and the Province of British Columbia, is considering building a Cold Water Release Facility (CWRF) at Kenney Dam on the Nechako Reservoir. The CWRF would draw cold deep water from the reservoir to reduce the temperature of the Nechako River for fish migration. The NES has requested an assessment of the ability of the CWRF to deliver up to 170 m3/s of 10 ºC water between July 20 and August 20 (a total of 0.47 km3). We have examined the physical limnology of the two basins adjacent to Kenney Dam (Knewstubb and Natalkuz lakes). In particular, we have: • Collected temperature profiles in the summer of 2005, 2006 and 2007; these were compared with data from 1990 (Limnotek) and 1994 (Triton).

    20. Aboriginal Rights and Interests Effects

    20. ASSESSMENT OF ABORIGINAL AND TREATY RIGHTS AND RELATED INTERESTS 20.1 INTRODUCTION This chapter assesses potential adverse effects on Aboriginal and Treaty rights and related interests which may arise from the Project during construction, operations, decommissioning/reclamation, and post-closure. Underground mining activities have the potential to adversely affect Aboriginal and Treaty rights by interfering with Aboriginal groups’ ability to engage in practices, customs, and traditions that are integral to their distinctive cultures, and/or by interfering with the exercise of rights expressly recognized in a treaty. Interference with Aboriginal and Treaty rights is generally indirect, resulting from changes to environmental conditions that are necessary for the continued exercise of Aboriginal and Treaty rights. The assessment is based on information derived from the Proponent’s engagement with potentially- affected Aboriginal groups, environmental assessments carried out elsewhere in the Application/EIS, and the review of secondary data. Wherever possible, the assessment addresses potential effects on Aboriginal and treaty rights and related interests as understood from the perspective of the Aboriginal groups in question. Baseline reports informing this assessment are appended to the Application/EIS and include: Ethnographic Overview and Traditional Knowledge and Use Desk-Based Research Report (Appendix 17-A) and Saulteau First Nations Knowledge and Use Study for HD Mining Murray River Coal Project (Appendix 17-B). 20.2 REGULATORY AND POLICY FRAMEWORK The Crown has a legal duty to consult with and, where appropriate, accommodate Aboriginal interests when it contemplates a conduct that might adversely impact the potential or established Aboriginal or Treaty right. The Crown delegated procedural aspects of this duty, with respect to the Project, to the Proponent through the Section 11 Order and EIS Guidelines.

Any views or opinions expressed in this draft are those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the members of the Nechako Watershed Council (NWC) or the Nechako Enhancement Society (NES), until the final draft has been signed off by all NWC. Date: March 18, 2005 [FINAL] Assessment of Potential Flow Regimes for the Nechako Watershed March 18, 2005 Executive Summary This report summarizes the Nechako Watershed Council’s (NWC) work, analyses, and consensus-based recommendations completed to date related to proposed flow regimes for the Nechako Watershed downstream of Kenney Dam if a cold water release facility is constructed at the dam. The facility’s construction is currently contingent on: 1) sufficient funds being contributed to the Nechako Environmental Enhancement Fund (NEEF) and, 2) the decision of the NEEF Management Committee to use the funds for the construction of a cold- water release facility (CWRF) at Kenney Dam being implemented. This report is a “working” or “living” document, recognizing that the NWC is still in the midst of a consensus-based decision-making process to develop recommendations on a preferred post-CWRF flow regime.

    British Columbia Coastal Range and the Chilkotins

    BRITISH COLUMBIA COASTAL RANGE AND THE CHILKOTINS The Coast Mountains of British Columbia are remote with limited accessibility by float plane, helicopter or boating up its deep inlets along the coast and hiking in. The mountains along British Columbia and SE Alaska intermix with the sea in a complex maze of fjords, with thousands of islands. It is a true wilderness where not exploited by logging and salmon farming pens. But there are some areas accessible from roads that can be explored, including west of Lillooet, the Chilcotins, and the Garibaldi Range. The Coast Mountains extend approximately 1,600 kilometres (1,000 mi) long from the southeastern boundaries are surrounded by the Fraser River and the Interior Plateau while its far northwestern edge is delimited by the Kelsall and Tatshenshini Rivers at the north end of the Alaska Panhandle, beyond which are the Saint Elias Mountains. The western mountain slopes are covered by dense temperate rainforest with heavily glaciated peaks and icefields that include Mt Waddington and Mt Silverthrone. Mount Waddington is the highest mountain of the Coast Mountains and the highest that lies entirely within British Columbia, located northeast of the head of Knight Inlet with an elevation of 4,019 metres (13,186 ft). The range along its eastern flanks tapers to the dry Interior Plateau and the boreal forests of the southern Chilkotins north to the Spatsizi Plateau Wilderness Provincial Park. The mountain range's name derives from its proximity to the sea coast, and it is often referred to as the Coast Range. The range includes volcanic and non-volcanic mountains and the extensive ice fields of the Pacific and Boundary Ranges, and the northern end of the volcanic system known as the Cascade Volcanoes.

    Mule Deer Buck Migrations and Habitat Use in the Bridge River, British Columbia: Preliminary Results (FWCP Project # 12.W.BRG.03) PREPARED BY: Chris Procter, R.P.Bio Francis Iredale, R.P.Bio Ministry of Forests, Lands & Natural Resource Operations Fish & Wildlife Kamloops, BC PREPARED FOR: Fish & Wildlife Compensation Program-Coastal MARCH 31, 2013 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In recent years, both the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (MFLNRO) and the St’at’imc First Nation have become concerned with the status of the mule deer population west of the Fraser in southcentral British Columbia. These concerns provided the impetus for the recently completed two years of research on the female components of the deer population in the St’at’imc territory. This project seeks to build and expand on that data set by investigating habitat use and migration ecology of mule deer bucks in the area to provide further information on this population that can be applied to deer management. The primary purpose of this report is to report preliminary results from the first sampling session (i.e., first 2 years of the project). During April and May 2011, 9 mule deer bucks were captured and collared in the study area through free-range chemical immobilization. Collars were retrieved during April and May 2012 and data was downloaded for analysis. Overall, 78% of bucks migrated to distant summer ranges entirely separated from spring/winter ranges. Migrations were generally characterized as relatively straight in a westerly direction along the south aspect slopes on the north side of Carpenter Lake with use of interspersed transitional ranges along the way.

    BRITISH COLUMBIA MINISTRY OF WATER, LAND AND AIR PROTECTION - 2002 Environmental Indicator: Fish in British Columbia Primary Indicator: Conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks rated as healthy, of conservation concern, and of extreme conservation concern. Selection of the Indicator: The conservation status of Steelhead Trout stocks is a state or condition indicator. It provides a direct measure of the condition of British Columbia’s Steelhead stocks. Steelhead Trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are highly valued by recreational anglers and play a locally important role in First Nations ceremonial, social and food fisheries. Because Steelhead Trout use both freshwater and marine ecosystems at different periods in their life cycle, it is difficult to separate effects of freshwater and marine habitat quality and freshwater and marine harvest mortality. Recent delcines, however, in southern stocks have been attributed to environmental change, rather than over-fishing because many of these stocks are not significantly harvested by sport or commercial fisheries. With respect to conseration risk, if a stock is over fished, it is designated as being of ‘conservation concern’. The term ‘extreme conservation concern’ is applied to stock if there is a probablity that the stock could be extirpated. Data and Sources: Table 1.

    Modelling Spatial and Temporal Variability of Hydrologic Impacts of Climate Change in the Fraser River Basin, British Columbia, Canada

    HYDROLOGICAL PROCESSES Hydrol. Process. (2012) Published online in Wiley Online Library (wileyonlinelibrary.com) DOI: 10.1002/hyp.9283 Modelling spatial and temporal variability of hydrologic impacts of climate change in the Fraser River basin, British Columbia, Canada Rajesh R. Shrestha,* Markus A. Schnorbus, Arelia T. Werner and Anne J. Berland Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium, University House 1, PO Box 3060 Stn CSC, University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, V8W 3R4 Abstract: This paper presents a modelling study on the spatial and temporal variability of climate-induced hydrologic changes in the Fraser River basin, British Columbia, Canada. This large basin presents a unique modelling case due to its physiographic heterogeneity and the potentially large implications of changes to its hydrologic regime. The macro-scale Variable Infiltration Capacity (VIC) hydrologic model was employed to simulate 30-year baseline (1970s) and future (2050s) hydrologic regimes based on climate forcings derived from eight global climate models (GCMs) runs under three emissions scenarios (B1, A1B and A2). Bias Corrected Spatial Disaggregation was used to statistically downscale GCM outputs to the resolution of the VIC model (1/16). The modelled future scenarios for the 11 sub-basins and three regions (eastern mountains, central plateau and coastal mountains) of the FRB exhibit spatially varied responses, such as, shifts from snow-dominant to hybrid regime in the eastern and coastal mountains and hybrid to rain-dominant regime in the central plateau region. The analysis of temporal changes illustrated considerable uncertainties in the projections obtained from an ensemble of GCMs and emission scenarios. However, direction of changes obtained from the GCM ensembles and emissions scenarios are consistent amongst one another.
