The property is four kilometres southeast of I the Town of Osoyoos qdat an elevation about 610 m (2,000 ft) asl. The area location and resional topography are shown on Figure 1 in Appendix A, and the subdivision layout is shown on Figure 2. This report addresses Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen (R.D.O.S.)Bylaw No. 300 for Proof of I Water for groundwater supplies which states: -- (b) Groundwater Supplies ( i) For any proposed subdivision dependent upon individual groundwater sources of water for each parcel, the developer shall provide, on each parcel, prior to registration of the subdivision: in Electoral Areas A, B, C, D, E, F and G, a well capable of providing a minimum yield of three (3) gallons (23.5 L) per minute for each proposed parcel; and in Electoral Area H, a well capable of providing 1,000 gallons (4545 L) per proposed parcel per day; OR a detailed investigation report of groundwater conditions sufficient to evaluate water quality and the chances of constructing successful wells, which meet the above yield requirements, on all the parcels within the subdivision. I This report has been prepared to fulfil the alternatives of "a detailed investigation report...". I 1 I 1 I Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd. I' ' High Country Cattle Co. Ltd. - Proof of Water Page 2 The Osoyoos-Anarchist Mountain area is underlain by schists and gneisses of the Shuswap Terrane overlain by glacially derived unconsolidated sediments of varying thickness. Well logs for holes in the area indicate up to 14.6.m (448 ft) of till overlying the crystalline bedrock. Groundwater in the area is obtained from fractured bedrock which is recharged from precipitation and snowmelt from uplands to the north and east. -- I I I Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd. I qPage 3 . .. Water well records are available for four drilled wells, in D.L. 2709 in the vicinity of the proposed subdivision. Well locations are shown on Figure 2 in Appendix A and details of these wells are summarized in Table 1, Appendix B. The well logs indicate driller recommended capacities ranging from 4.55 Wmin (1 i(?)gpm) to 36.4 L/min (8 i(?)gpm). "- As noted in Section 2.0, the aquifer is fiactured bedrock in which the capacity of any particulaF-rock well depends primarily on the bedrock conditions encountered in the well itself - in particular, to the number and extent of fractures - and only secondarily to the conditions in the aquifer. The data contained in Table 1 indicate the likelihood of intersecting water-bearing fractures drilling on I the subject Property which would be sufficient to satisfy R.D.O.S. Bylaw 300 are very good. In three of the four holes listed in Table 1, the amount of water stored in the casing is sufficient to meet the peak daily demand; the only limiting factor appears to be hole depth which, in this area, should be a minimum I of 76 to 91 m (250 to 300 ft). I On the basis of existing data we conclude that the chances of producing a sufficient water supply from wells on each of the three proposed lots is very good. In the event sufficient water-bearing fractures are not intersected, the rock can be hydrofractured which will enhance well storage by increasing hydraulic I connection. Alternatively, a domestic-sized storage unit can be added to the system to ensure sufficient I I I I Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd. 1 high Country Cattle Co.

Our experience with rock wells in similar type bedrock in the area is that water quality is good and there I is not bacteriological cross-examination in such deep wells. It should be noted, however, that rock holes in similar bedrock in the vicinity of Naramata north of Penticton have encountered high fluoride levels. A water quality analysis should be carried out in groundwater from each of the three lots to veri@ a potable water supply. ---- I - I I I Pacific Hydrology Consultants Ltd. High Country Cattle Co.

McGill University 1970 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in the Department of Geological Sciences We accept thi.s thesis as conforming to the required standard.

I further agree that permission for extensive copying of this thesis for scholarly purposes may be granted by the Head of my Department or by his representatives.

Depa rtment The University of British Columbia Vancouver 8, Canada Date i ABSTRACT Five phases of deformation are recognized in Shuswap (Monashee Group) gneiss in an area east of Okanagan Lake, southern British Columbia.. The first is delineated by north trending mesoscopic structures. The second comprises a south closing megascopic synform with a horizontal ESE axial direction. This structure has in turn been coaxially refolded into a more open phase 3 synform. The second deformation was associated with extensive introduction of synkinematic quartz monzonite and granodiorite that comprises much of the area, and culminated with amphibolite grade metamorphism. Phase 3 deformation was followed by extensive local recrystal1ization and meta• somatism which destroyed earlier fabric elements of the gneisses.

Consequently, there is no common name applied to the agricultural lands that predominate in the valley bottom to the north and south of the Town of Osoyoos, although specific place names such as “Reflection Point” and “Willow Beach” do exist. With improved transportation routes into and out of the South Okanagan after 1960, additional communities outside of the valley bottom began to emerge, specifically at Anarchist Mountain (to the east) and at “Kilpoola” (to the west). While each of these communities have things in common, including a strong desire to maintain and protect the larger Plan Area’s rural qualities and environmental values, each community is also unique. This section of the Plan outlines policies for each of the Plan Area’s communities. [Not applicable] 7.2 North West Osoyoos Lake The lands located north of the Town of Osoyoos and bounded by Osoyoos Lake to the east and Highway 3 to the west represents a land area of approximately 955 ha that is primarily within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR).
