December 2011 South Thompson Settlement Strategy Policy Document SCHEDULE “A” OF BYLAW NO. 1888 1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) In 2000, the TNRD adopted a Regional Growth Strategy (RGS) which provides the framework for achieving a sustainable future for the regional district. This framework provides solid grounding for: Taking action on development and settlement issues by the regional district, its member local governments and other government agencies; Coordinating efficient use of land, public facilities, services, finances and other resources over the next 20 years; Encouraging a variety of economic opportunities, land use choices and quality of life attributes in an affordable and efficient manner; Ensuring the environment and natural amenities are protected and conserved as the region continues to develop. Between 1996-2001, the TNRD experienced a growth rate of 0.4%. Estimates for the next 20 years anticipate growth of 1.5% per year. This will result in a population of approximately 160,000 by 2015. Much of this growth will be directed to the South Thompson valley, exerting considerable pressure from the City of Kamloops to the Village

    Appendix 6.7-E Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts AJAX PROJECT Environmental Assessment Certificate Application / Environmental Impact Statement for a Comprehensive Study www.knightpiesold.com MEMORANDUM To: Stephanie Eagen Date: July 20, 2015 File No.: VA101-246/35-A.01 From: Toby Perkins Cont. No.: VA15-02874 Re: Ajax Project - Thompson River Hydrologic and Hydraulic Impacts The purpose of this memorandum is present the results of assessment of potential changes in hydrology and hydraulics on the Thompson River downstream from the outlet of Kamloops Lake due to the proposed Ajax Project. Flow reductions, particularly during low flow periods, have the potential to impact fish habitat. The Project will affect Thompson River flows due to a water withdrawal of 1505 m3/hr (0.42 m3/s) from Kamloops Lake and flow reductions in Peterson Creek due to mine activities. This memorandum is a revision of the work completed by Knight Piésold Ltd. (KP) on March 18, 2013 (KP cont. no. VA13-00493), which assessed the effects of a Kamloops lake water withdrawal of 2000 m3/hr (0.56 m3/s). Hydrology The Project is located in the Thompson River Valley on the south side of Kamloops Lake. The hydrology of the Thompson River was assessed based on Water Survey of Canada (WSC) data available for the Thompson River. The Project location and the locations of relevant WSC gauging stations are shown on Figure 1. Details of these WSC stations are summarized in Table 1. The WSC operated a gauge on the Thompson River near Savona (08LF033), near the outlet of Kamloops Lake, between 1926 and 1966.

  • Metro Vancouver Regional District
    For Metro Vancouver meetings on Friday, June 28, 2019 Please note these are not the official minutes. Board in Brief is an informal summary. Material relating to any of the following items is available on request from Metro Vancouver. For more information, please contact [email protected] or [email protected] Metro Vancouver Regional District E 1.1 Greater Vancouver Regional Fund Semi-Annual Report as of December 31, 2018 RECEIVED The Board received for information TransLink’s status report on active projects funded by federal gas tax funds through the Greater Vancouver Regional Fund. As per TransLink’s report, the regional transportation authority has been successful in delivering the majority of the projects on or ahead of schedule and incurring positive cost variances. Six projects are noted as experiencing delays exceeding three months: the Metrotown trolley overhead rectifier replacement, three conventional bus replacement projects, equipment for deferred bus retirement program, and the battery electric bus pilot. Looking ahead over the next 9 years, TransLink expects to draw on $1.5 billion in GVRF funds to pay for eligible capital expenditures associated with the 2018 Phase Two Investment Plan and subsequent investment plans. Assuming the renewal of the federal gas tax transfers in 2024, the forecasted balance in 2027 will be drawn down to a balance of approximately $181 million. E 1.2 Board Voting Technology RECEIVED The Board received for information an update on a technology solution to automate the Board’s voting process. In-house staff expertise was leveraged to develop a software solution to meet the unique voting requirements of the Metro Vancouver Board, notably the multiple jurisdictions and the weighting voting aspect.

  • 2000 Overview of Forest Health in the Kamloops Forest Region
    Summary of Aerial 2000 Overview of Overview Surveys and Mountain pine Forest Health in the beetle Research in the Kam- loops Forest Kamloops Forest Region Region - INTRODUCTION 2000 The 2000 aerial overview surveys of the Kamloops Region were conducted from July 18 – August 31, 2000 and September 21 - 22, 2000. A total of 72.1 hours of flying over 16.5 days were required to provide complete coverage of the Region. All surveys were completed to the standards set by the B.C. Ministry of Forests Aerial Overview Survey Strategy, and recorded mortality or damage resulting from bark beetles, defoliators, and any other visible forest health factors. All data was digitized to BCMOF Branch Forest Health standards and can be located on the Forest Service website (http://www.for.gov.bc.ca/ hfp/forsite/Forest_Health.htm). The bark beetle and defoliator damage levels used in the aerial overview surveys are: Bark beetle Current Defoliatior Attributes itensity class mortality intensity class This summary was prepared by: Light 1-10% Light some branch tip and upper crown defoliation Moderate thin foliage, top third of many trees severely Lorraine Moderate 11-29% defoliated, some completely stripped Maclauchlan, Severe bare branch tips and completely defoliated Regional Severe 30%+ tops, most trees sustaining >50% total de- Entomologist foliation Kevin Buxton Shane Collingridge The most damaging pests in the Kamloops Region in 2000 were mountain pine beetle, Douglas-fir beetle, two-year cycle budworm, western balsam bark beetle, and western spruce Trisha Rimmer budworm. Other less important factors included spruce beetle, western pine beetle, satin moth, (layout) pine needle cast, and wildfire, plus scattered abiotic mortality factors such as windthrow and flooding (Table 1).
