The City’s water system has a service population of around 20,000 residents including Pouce Coupe and the surrounding rural area. The BC Drinking Water Protection Act places responsibility on BC water purveyors like Dawson Creek to assess upstream risks to drinking water quality and supply. Achieving water stewardship objectives, therefore, requires relevant and timely coordination of research, monitoring, compliance and planning functions. At present, the watershed has a “notation of interest” for land-use referral consultation purposes and is referred as a Community Water Supply Area in the Dawson Creek Land and Resource Mgt Plan (1999). It is, however, not yet classified as a Designated Watershed under the B.C. Environmental Protection and Management Regulation (Sec 35) of the Oil & Gas Activities Act, nor as a Community Watershed under the BC Forests and Range Act. Various planning and research initiatives have already been undertaken in partnership with provincial and federal government agencies, community organizations, and resource industries. The City’s mission to achieve long-term watershed sustainability fits within in its general goal to “be a visionary community that works together for innovative social, cultural, economic and environmental vitality”. Through effective partnerships and research collaborations, the City envisions its leadership efforts can create the foundation for a “Model Watershed” approach for the upper Kiskatinaw River where ongoing resource management issues and best practices can be tested and evaluated to maintain and enhance watershed function. Through this approach, and lessons learned from long-term research, planning and management will be of benefit to other jurisdictions seeking to promote similar goals for water stewardship and/or drinking water protection. Particular value for this initiative will be for agencies and industry stakeholders with current research and development operations in the Boreal Plains and Foothills eco-region. Developing an effective watershed governance structure will be necessary to implement an effective level of management integration and compliance with the DWPA and other related resource management legislation. Significant potential exists for improved and cost-effective resource management decision-making, land-use referral processes and stakeholder collaboration in demonstrating best-practices for watershed stewardship. As part of this effort, the City is moving forward in 2012 to update its Source Water Protection Plan (SWPP) through its Watershed Stewardship Program (WSP). Attention is being focused on addressing key information gaps, and facilitating appropriate agency and stakeholder engagement through ongoing partnerships based on a shared-interest and active approach. Through this initiative, there is significant potential for addressing hydrological research issues of interest in supporting sustainable watershed stewardship Resource Use Activity and Management Issues: As new resource development interests in the watershed emerge (wind, coal), this footprint adds to that of a rapidly growing natural gas sector, and traditional industries in agriculture, forestry, tourism and outdoor recreation. Key issues long identified as requiring constant management attention include erosion/sedimentation from linear developments and stream crossings on erodible soils, point and cumulative diffuse water quality risks at lower elevations from various sources, and potential risks to groundwater flows and quality from extensive gas development operations. Emerging hydrological concerns also pertain to expanding industrial water—use demands during low flow periods, uncertain but possible climate change effects on flow regimes and the implications of extensive Mountain Pine Beetle infestation and wildfire on peak flows and water quality. In recent years, great strides have been taken towards improved watershed characterization including: • baseline water quality studies (bacteria/parasites/chemical analyses) studies (BC gov’t) • a cumulative effects analysis on drinking water indicators (BC Forest Practices Board) • sub-basin surface and shallow groundwater monitoring; and • watershed modelling based on changing land-use patterns (UNBC/City of Dawson CkJ’FLRNO) • a study on methods and tools for integrated watershed and health planning/assessment (UNBC) • an investigation of snow accumulation variability in forested and forest stands (FLRNO) Strengthening Watershed Plan Implementation: There is need and opportunity for improved coordination of research and extension activities to help meet the watershed management objectives for many agencies in the Peace River Region. There also appears to be an important opportunity to focus long-term research in the region and build on the research momentum gained in recent years in the Kiskatinaw River watershed. Although knowledge and data are required to support new project assessments and referral processes, long-term research sites provide the fundamental information on watershed processes to inform decision-making. There is a lack of long-term watershed research sites that describe the processes and resource management pressures in the Peace River region (Boreal plains/foothills eco-region). Through this initiative, a partnership with the Forum for Research and Extension in the Natural Resources (FORREX) Watershed Management program and the Foothills Research Institute (FRI), Water Program is being developed to explore opportunities to coordinate research in the region. The intent is to develop a formal initiative for a ‘strategic watershed research project’ and facilitate best-practices research. This project will have the advantage of shared bioregional and development experience and interests between the BC and Alberta Peace River region. This effort addresses a need to enhance watershed research capacity and information-sharing between resource agencies, industries, local/regional governments and other stakeholders in northeast B.C. A Framework for Source Water Protection Plan Renewal: As part of its SWPP renewal effort, the WSP will be implementing a phased approach to agency and stakeholder engagement Component 1: Undertake review of existing watershed management and source protection plan goals, achievements and information gaps in the form of a ‘State of the Upper Kiskatinaw Watershed’ report

  • Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia
    Northeast Water Strategy Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia British Columbia Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy Water Protection and Sustainability Branch November 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia (B.C.) began in 2016 as a project under the Northeast Water Strategy (NEWS) to inventory the available water quality data, up to January 2018, and identify gaps to inform future monitoring. This data summary fulfills the NEWS Action Area 1: Enhancing information to support decision- making. Once water quality knowledge gaps in Northeast B.C. are identified, we can begin to address them as part of the NEWS Action Area 4: Enhancing monitoring and reporting. Summarizing available water quality data is an essential first step in defining an effective water quality monitoring program. In order to make informed decisions, it is important to first determine what data are available and what additional data are required to answer a given question. This report inventoried available data from the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV) Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) Database and the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) open government portal. This report compliments a previous NEWS project, the Disturbance-Sensitivity Based Approach, which established the 69 watershed boundaries used in this report and ranked the watersheds in order of water monitoring priority. This report is divided into two parts: Part 1 is an overall data summary including a map of all 69 watersheds and a table summarizing the corresponding water quality data; Part II provides more detail on the water quality data available for each watershed, including waterbody and type of parameters measured.
