WSC 25-2010 Stake Lake Environmental Assessment : Abbo~sf?rd rr ">; /NIlSSlOD Water & Sewer Services REPORT To: Abbotsford/Mission Water & Sewer Commission (WSC) From: Lisa Mirfatahi, Water Planning Engineer Date: March 26, 2010 Subject: Stave Lake Environmental Assessment File: 5710-50/Stave Lake Report No.: WSC 25-2010 UTILITY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (UMC) RECOMMENDATION THAT Report No. WSC 25-2010, dated March 26, 2010, from Lisa Mirfatahi, Water Planning Engineer, regarding the Stave Lake Environmental Assessment, be received. BACKGROUND The Abbotsford/Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) are working to develop a new source of water from Stave Lake. The Project triggers an Environmental Assessment (EA). Staff plan to request a waive out or an exemption from the EA process. A written request for an exemption must be attached to the Project Description upon submission to the Environmental Assessment Office. DISCUSSION The Stave Lake Water Supply project triggers a review under the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act (BCEM) based on the proposed water diversion rate. Based on the Stave Lake Water Supply Conceptual Design Report, March 2010, AECOM, the raw water intake and pumping facilities are being designed to ultimately supply a maximum of 424 MLD of raw water demand. This would exceed the threshold of 10 million m3/year (27.3 MLD) specified in the Reviewable Projects Regulation. Consequently an application would be required for the proposed Stave Lake Water Supply Project, unless the Environmental Assessment office determines that the Project will not have significant adverse effects based on the Project Description, and issues an exemption under Section 10(1)(b) of the BCEM. A copy of the letter requesting the exemption to the BCEM is attached in Appendix A and a copy of the Project Description is attached in Appendix B. WSC Report No. 25-2010 Page 2 of 3 ANALYSIS The AMWSC are requesting the exemption from Provincial Environmental Assessment review under Section 10(1)(b) of the BCEM for the proposed Stave Lake Water Supply Project. The exemption is based on certain considerations which are detailed in full in the letter (Appendix A) and briefly detailed here: • The Project construction and operations will be subject to oversight by other permitting processes, including: o An authorization under the Water Act which would scrutinize the conditions for extraction of water from the Stave Lake reservoir to ensure that operating parameters for enhanced habitat for fish in the Stave River watershed, improved water levels in Stave Lake reservoir for industry and recreation, and enhanced archaeological site protection and investigation opportunities are not adversely affected; o The authorization under the Water Act may require the submission of plans for the works for scrutiny by an engineer under the Water Act before leave to begin construction is granted; o The construction and operation of works may be regulated by an engineer under the Water Act as a condition of the authorization to use water from Stave Lake reservoir. The scope of the regulated works would include the intake structure, pump station and pipeline; o Construction Permit for the new water system from the Fraser Health Authority as well as an Operating Permit before the system becomes operational; and, o Crown land tenure (Licence of Occupation) from the BC Integrated Land Management Bureau for Project facilities located on Crown land. • Alignment of the proposed raw water pipeline along Dewdney Trunk Road, thereby minimizing potential for adverse environmental effects; • The relatively small scale of the proposed footprint for the proposed Project components. FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS If the AMWSC are not granted an exemption and are required to go through the Environmental Assessment process, it is expected to cost several hundred thousand dollars. COMMUNICATIONS PLAN No communications plan is required. WSC Report No. 25-2010 Page 3 of 3 SUMMARY The Stave Lake Water Supply Project triggers an Environmental Assessment. A written request for an exemption will be attached to the Project Description upon submission to the Environmental Assessment Office. Jim Gordo General anager. Engineering and Water Planning Engineer Regional Utilities Solid Waste Appendix A April 9, 2010 File No. 5710-50/Stave Lake John Mazure Executive Director BC Environmental Assessment Office 2nd Floor - 836 Yates Street Victoria, BC V8W 1L8 Dear Mr. Mazure: Re: Stave Lake Water Supply Project Please accept this letter as the Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission's (AMWSC's) request for an exemption from provincial environmental assessment review under Section 10(1 )(b) of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act (BCEM) for the proposed Stave Lake Water Supply Project. The City of Abbotsford administers the AMWSC, which provides bulk potable water to the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. The proposed Project is located in the District of Mission approximately 55 km east of Vancouver and 5 km north of the Mission urban area along the Fraser River. Proposed Project components include a water intake structure in Stave Lake, a pump station on the east shore of Stave Lake, a water treatment plant, and a raw water supply pipeline along Dewdney Trunk Road from the pump station to the water treatment plant. Access to the majority of the Project Area would be from Dewdney Trunk Road. The proposed Project would be constructed from 2012 and be operational from 2015. It will be constructed in three stages up to 2031, but is being designed to provide an ultimate capacity of 400 Million Litres per Day (MLD) of potable water to supplement existing water sources and meet growing demand within the City of Abbotsford and the District of Mission. The enclosed Project Description and Conceptual Design Report provide additional details regarding the proposed Stave Lake Water Supply Project, and surrounding environmental resources and land uses. Based on the conceptual design for the proposed Project, each of the water diversion rate scenarios for withdrawal of water from an intake structure within Stave Lake would exceed the threshold of 10 million m3/year (equivalent to 27.3 MLD) specified in Part 5 of the Reviewable Projects Regulation. At this time, it is not known if the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEM) will apply to the development and operation of the proposed Stave Lake Water Supply Project. If the proposed Project were to be deemed reviewable under CEM, it would likely be as a result of requirements for authorizations from Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) under Section 35(2) of the Fisheries Act and/or from Transport Canada under Section 5(2) or Section 5(3) of the Navigable Waters Protection Act for the proposed intake structure in Stave Lake. The AMWSC is requesting an exemption from a provincial environmental review under Section 10(1 )(b) of BCEM based on the following considerations: • The source of water for the Project would be the Stave Lake Reservoir, subject to an authorization under the Water Act of an agreement between AMWSC and BC Hydro for use of some of the water stored by BC Hydro in the reservoir; • The diversion, storage and use of Stave River under the licences held by BC Hydro is regulated by the Comptroller of Water Rights (the "CWR") to a set of operating parameters developed by BC Hydro in consultation with the public, First Nations and government agencies. The parameters are in the Stave River Water Use Plan (SRWUP). The CWR has accepted the SRWP, and issued an order on May 6, 2004 that set the parameters for the operation of the Stave Falls and Ruskin Projects, which include the Stave Lake Reservoir. Provided that the Project is approved, the AMWSC would participate in the review of the SRWUP in 2013 as a holder of the necessary certificates, licences and permits for the Project; • The proposed agreement between AMWSC and BC Hydro would stipulate that the diversion of water from the Stave Lake Reservoir to supply Abbotsford and Mission with water cannot affect the parameters set by the CWR for the operation of Stave Lake Reservoir or any changes to these parameters; • The Project construction and operations will be subject to oversight by other permitting processes, including: o An authorization under the Water Act which would scrutinize the conditions for extraction of water from the Stave Lake reservoir to ensure that operating parameters for enhanced habitat for fish in the Stave River watershed, improved water levels in Stave Lake reservoir for industry and recreation, and enhanced archaeological site protection and investigation opportunities are not adversely affected; o The authorization under the Water Act may require the submission of plans for the works for scrutiny by an engineer under the Water Act before leave to begin construction is granted; o The construction and operation of works may be regulated by an engineer under the Water Act as a condition of the authorization to use water from Stave Lake reservoir. The scope of the regulated works would include the intake structure, pump station and pipeline; o Construction Permit for the new water system from the Fraser Health Authority as well as an Operating Permit before the system becomes operational; and , o Crown land tenure (Licence of Occupation) from the BC Integrated Land Management Bureau for Project facilities located on Crown land. • Potential for the proposed Project to require a federal screening review under CEM; • Alignment of the proposed raw water pipeline along Dewdney Trunk Road, thereby minimizing potential for adverse environmental effects; • The relatively small scale of the proposed footprint for the proposed Project components; and , • Proposed measures to avoid, manage or compensate for potential adverse environmental, social, health, heritage and economic effects of the proposed Project such as those outlined in Table 13 of the enclosed Project Description. We appreciate your consideration of this request. Please feel free to contact Lisa Mirfatahi at 604-864-5519 or [email protected] should you require additional information or have any questions or comments regarding this request.

BACKGROUND Future Abbotsford-Mission water source planning has been an ongoing process for over 20-years (as summarized in Attachment A). Up until November 2011 , the AMWSC intended to develop Stave Lake as a new water source by 2016. However, following the public referendum outcome on November 19, 2011, all work on Stave Lake ceased. Both Abbotsford and Mission are growing. Even with a water conservation program and existing system improvements, a new water source will eventually be needed to meet future demands and provide water system redundancy. DISCUSSION Future Water Source Timing Staff propose to update water demand projections in 5-year increments between 2012 and 2037, along with those for 2062 and 2112 (i.e. 50-year and 100-year planning horizons). The timing for a new water source will be clarified from the projections compared against the known system capacity. This work will be completed in-house. Water demands are calculated by: Total Demand = Total Equivalent Population x Per Capita Consumption Where: "Total Equivalent Population" is the sum of the residential population plus a conversion of water needed by non-residential sectors into 'equivalent numbers of people'.

  • BC Hydro-Party Response
    BC Hydro—Party Response A14/SEM/97-001/05/RSP DISTRIBUTION: General ORIGINAL: English EXECUTIVE SUMMARY On April 2, 1997, the Sierra Legal Defence Fund and the Sierra Club Legal Defense Fund (the "submitters") made a submission under Article 14 of the North American Agreement on Environmental Cooperation (NAAEC) alleging that the Government of Canada is failing to enforce its environmental law effectively. Specifically, the submission asserts that Canada fails to enforce s.35(1) of the Fisheries Act and fails to utilize its powers pursuant to s.119.06 of the National Energy Board Act to protect fish and fish habitat from damage caused by hydroelectric power generation in British Columbia by BC Hydro (BCH), a provincial Crown corporation. CANADA'S POSITION Canada supports the NAAEC process for submissions on enforcement matters, and considers Articles 14 and 15 to be among the most important provisions of the treaty. Canada submits that it is enforcing its environmental laws, and is in full compliance with its obligations under the NAAEC. Therefore, Canada submits that, in this instance, the development of a factual record is unwarranted as: · the assertions concerning the enforcement of the Fisheries Act are the subject of pending judicial or administrative proceedings within the meaning of Article 14(3)(a); · Canada is fully enforcing the environmental provisions of the Fisheries Act, and the National Energy Board (NEB) has properly exercised its power under the National Energy Board Act; · the provisions of the NAAEC cannot be applied retroactively to assertions of a failure to effectively enforce environmental laws prior to the coming into force of the NAAEC on January 1, 1994.

  • Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey
    Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area Winter Vegetation and Wildlife Use Survey Abstract A winter vegetation inventory and presence/not detected wildlife use survey was completed of BC Hydro’s Hayward Lake Reservoir Recreation Area from October 1999 to March 2000. This study was done to provide BC Hydro with baseline data on the vegetation and wildlife found during the winter period at Hayward Lake. Aerial photographs and maps were used to stratify BC Hydro’s property around the lake into four vegetation strata: • Old Growth: Areas displaying complex structure, mature trees and no evidence of logging • Second Growth: Areas displaying evidence of past logging activity • Riparian: Areas paralleling water courses; streams, creeks • Wetland: Areas with water as the dominant ecosystem feature. The site was visited by car, canoe and on foot to verify these strata. Four plots in each of the strata were randomly selected to complete sixteen vegetation and wildlife use plots. The site was visited bi-weekly, on Wednesday mornings to complete these surveys. From the plot centre, four levels of vegetation were identified and surveyed: • Moss Layer: Vegetation within 2.50 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 0m- 0.5m high • Herb Layer: Vegetation within 5.64 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 0.5m - 1.0m high • Shrub Layer: Vegetation within 5.64 metres of plot centre; vegetation from 1.0m - 10m high • Tree Layer: Vegetation within 10 metres of plot centre; vegetation over 10 metres Wildlife or wildlife use seen in each of the 10 metre radius plots was recorded.

The Stave River WUP was initiated as a result of Condition 14 of the Stave Falls Powerplant Replacement Energy Project Certificate, which allowed BC Hydro to construct and operate the power facilities at Stave Falls in Mission, BC. This condition required BC Hydro to undertake a water use planning process for both Alouette River and Stave River systems, including Alouette, Stave Falls and Ruskin dams and Generating Stations. Two separate consultation processes were conducted to complete the Alouette and Stave River Water Use Plans. The initial Alouette Water Use Plan was submitted to the Comptroller of Water Rights in September 1996, with the current Alouette WUP submitted in April 2009 and summarized in a separate report. In 2004, the Comptroller of Water Rights (CWR) issued Orders under the Water Act in response to the Stave River WUP (BCH 2003).

  • [Review of Coastal Elk Management Projects in British Columbia]
    2013 UBC Forestry Grad essay – Frst 497 Jerin Hobbs [Review of Coastal Elk Management Projects in British Columbia] ABSTRACT The populations of coastal British Columbia’s Roosevelt Elk (Cervus canadensis roosevelti) decreased greatly from first European settlement to the start of the 1920s. This has been credited to pressures from hunting and decreased habitat, both of which were caused by humans. The remainder of the 20th century was categorized by a period of strict hunting regulations; facilitating a, while slow, re-growth in numbers. Beginning in the latter part of the 20th century, “elk management projects” were also initiated. The goal of these projects was the translocation of elk into areas where their numbers were threatened. During the past decade these projects have intensified and transitioned into translocating elk into drainages where it has been determined that they have been extirpated from. This paper does not determine any negative or positive factors within these projects. However it does investigate potential question’s that should be asked about such projects. These questions are shaped in response to the examination of three case studies: Newfoundland’s introduction of Moose (Alces alces americana), Haida Gwaii’s introduction of Sitka black-tailed deer (Odocoileus hemionus sitkensis), and New Zealand’s introduction of Red Deer (Cervus elaphus). Key Words: Roosevelt Elk Management, translocation, Newfoundland, Haida Gwaii, New Zealand.

  • CHAPTER 13 Six Facets of Quartz Crystal Tools from the Stave River
    CHAPTER 13 Six Facets of Quartz Crystal Tools from the Stave River Duncan McLaren Cordillera Archaeology Brendan Gray Cordillera Archaeology Introduction and Background Crescent Beach Site (DgRr-1) indicates a low frequency Quartz crystals are relatively common in archaeological associated with Charles Phase strata dating between 5,500 sites of the lower Fraser River and Salish Sea regions. As of and 3500 BP (6300 to 3800 Cal BP). The highest frequency 2016 there are 93 recorded sites reported to contain quartz is found in Locarno Beach Phase components dating crystal objects in British Columbia (Figure 1). The majority between 3500 and 2500 BP (3800 to 2600 Cal BP), and a of these sites are situated on the eastern side of Vancouver lesser amount in the subsequent Marpole Phase from 2500 Island, the Fraser River drainage, the Peace River region, to 1500 BP (2600 to 1400 Cal BP). Patenaude (1985:201) and southeastern BC. A lower frequency of these objects in found a similar pattern at the mouth of the Pitt River. northwestern BC may be due to less archaeological work in that region compared to southern BC. Different types of quartz crystal artifacts found at the Ruskin Dam Site in the lower Fraser River region (Gray et al. 2010) are related to a range of tasks and activities. Here we explore six ‘facets’ of quartz crystal use: (1) processes of quartz crystal tool manufacturing; (2) use of quartz crystals as carving tools; (3) quartz crystal microblade industry; (4) quartz crystals as objects of personal ornaments; (5) quartz crystals and metaphysics; and (6) quartz crystal as an exchange commodity.
