USDA Forest Service, Alaska Region, R10-MB-77. Pages 165-171. (I) Author abstract: This study was initiated to provide information to silviculturists and concerned members of the public about the environmental characteristics of the Skeena River floodplains that affect the fate of forestry herbicides. This paper describes 1) the annual groundwater regime and its driving forces, 2) the stratigraphy of the deposits, 3) the physical characteristics of the soil, and 4) the climatic regime of both air and soil. Based on these data and the chemical and physical properties of certain herbicides, inferences are made about their probable fate in coastal alluvial environments. The period late July to early September is identified as the safest for the application of herbicides as the water table is low and consequently the chances of flooding are low. The surface deposits of fine silts and the rapid incorporation of organic matter into the soil should ensure low mobility of most herbicides. 278) Beaudry, P.G., and A. Gottesfeld. 2001.

Ph. 250 352 3433 [email protected] discovernelson.com Scotiabank MS Bike Tour August 20-21, 2016 The tour starts in New Denver… Slocan Valley… New Denver- Founded upon the discovery of silver in the mountains adjacent to Slocan Lake in 1891, prospectors from the United States came flooding up to the New Denver region in 1892 to stake their claims, and gather their riches. New Denver quickly grew to a population of 500 people with 50 buildings. In 1895 this growing community built government offices and supply houses for the Silvery Slocan Mines. “A Simple Curve” was filmed in and around the Slocan Valley and was debuted in 2005. The story is of a young man born to war resister parents. War Resisters- In 1976 as many as 14,000 Americans came to the Slocan Valley in an attempt to avoid the Vietnam War. About half of those who made the move were self-proclaimed war resisters, many of whom settled in the Kootenay Region. Nikkei Internment Memorial Centre This exclusive interpretive centre features the Japanese-Canadian internment history of New Denver during the Second World War. The camp is said to have held close to 1500 internees during the war. The memorial centre opened in 1994, which showcases several buildings including the community hall and three restored tar paper shacks with Japanese gardens. A well known Canadian to come out of one of these local institutions is Dr.

Department of GEOGRAPHY The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date September 25th, 1990 DE-6 (2/88) ABSTRACT Like many North American resource-based rural communities, the Slocan Valley in southeastern British Columbia experienced a decline in its population and economy during the first half of this century. However, in the late 1960s, mainly young, well-educated and often idealistic members of the back-to-the-land movement began to re-settle the area. The influx reached its peak in the mid 1970s, and at a diminished level, continues. Currently this group of recent settlers comprises approximately one-quarter of the valley's population of 5000.

  • Field Trip “A”, Slocan Lake – Kootenay Lake
    Terrain Stability and Forest Management in the Interior of B.C. Nelson, B.C., May 23-25, 2001 Field Trip “A”, Slocan Lake – Kootenay Lake Prepared by Peter Jordan, Ministry of Forests, Nelson with contributions from Carol Wallace and Marc Deschenes Stop 1 Passmore slide On April 13, 2000, this slump failed catastrophically, sending about 75,000 m3 of debris across the highway and into the Slocan River. In the days leading up to the failure, the slide had been creeping slowly onto the highway. Because highways crews were doing work on the site, traffic was controlled by flagpersons at the time, so no vehicles were hit by the slide and there were no injuries. The highway was closed for several days, cutting off the Slocan Valley from Nelson and Castlegar except by a lengthy detour through Kaslo. Photos of the slide, taken the day after it occurred, are in the appendix. More information on this site can be found in the notes for Field Trip B. In the slide scar, there are good exposures of the glaciolacustrine clay, silt, and sand which underlie much of the Slocan Valley. These deposits are subject to slumping where undercut by river bends, or where oversteepened by road cuts, as is commonly the case in such deposits in valley bottoms throughout the B.C. Interior. The slump hazard is sometimes unappreciated, as in most places the clay is concealed beneath a thick layer of sand. At this site, there is evidence of repeated ancient failures on the adjacent slopes, probably due to undercutting by the river bend.
