Sediment Impact to GVW Kalamalka Lake Intake Study, 2018
Sediment Impact to GVW Kalamalka Lake Intake Study, 2018 Prepared for Regional District of North Okanagan Kal Lake 2018 Sediment Study Executive Summary Executive Summary This study was designed to answer questions involving the sediment accumulation rate, sediment contaminants and their sources in the North Arm of Kalamalka Lake, and to identify the risk posed by these materials to drinking water quality at the RDNO intake. Sediments act as a reservoir for contaminants and can return them to the water column during turbulent re-suspension. Coarse sediment accumulated near the mouth of Coldstream Creek, while silts deposited farther along the plume path, and clays were transported throughout the North Arm. Sediments near the creek contained less marl than the very fine marl-based lake sediments that dominate elsewhere in the Arm. Despite high E. coli counts in Coldstream Creek flows, this study found low sediment E. coli concentrations at sites within its plume path. The highest sediment E. coli counts occurred at sites adjacent to stormwater outfalls and at deep sampling sites. Fecal bacteria contamination of sediment from traps deployed near the intake location is concerning. Seagulls congregating near the intake buoy (deep sites) as well as turbulent transfer of contaminated sediments from shallows near stormwater outfalls to the intake area are the likely causes. Sediment traps deployed from spring through fall 2018 collected recently deposited or disturbed sediments. This sediment demonstrated a pattern of higher heavy metal concentrations along the Coldstream Creek plume path than at other North Arm sites. Like most lakes within urban watersheds, sites with sediment metal exceedances were also affected by stormwater or a marina.

Media Release
MEDIA RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE DATE: April 15, 2019 MEDIA CONTACT: Renee Clark, Water Quality Manager PHONE/EMAIL: 250-550-3747 / [email protected] NOTICE TO GREATER VERNON WATER CUSTOMERS – WATER SOURCE CHANGE As the Regional District of North Okanagan stated on Friday, April 12, 2019 regarding the possibility of the Kalamalka Lake water source being turned off again, the Kalamalka Lake water source was turned off as a precautionary measure at 9:30 am Monday, April 15, 2019 due to potential turbidity increases in the water. This change affects Greater Vernon Water (GVW) customers. The decision to remove the Kalamalka Lake water source is a precautionary decision made based on the annual milfoil rototilling at the north end of Kalamalka Lake. When rototilling is taking place, water turbidity can increase and the ultra violet disinfection process can change. During this time, water will be supplied from the Duteau Creek Water Treatment Plant (DCWTP) until the annual milfoil rototilling is complete. Customers who are not normally on the DCWTP will notice that the water is much softer and the water has a low alkalinity and pH. This may be of interest to those customers who have in-home water treatment systems or aquariums. Staff will continue to monitor water quality, notify customers of any further changes and when the Kalamalka Lake water source is turned back on. For further information, please call 250-550-3700 or visit www.rdno.ca. – 30 – MEMBER MUNICIPALITIES: ELECTORAL AREAS: CITY OF ARMSTRONG VILLAGE OF LUMBY “B” – SWAN LAKE “E” – CHERRYVILLE DISTRICT OF COLDSTREAM TOWNSHIP OF SPALLUMCHEEN “C” – B.X.

CHAPTER 5 Physical Characteristics of the Main Valley Lakes
CHAPTER 5 Physical Characteristics of the Main Valley Lakes. 5.1 PREVIOUS WORK Clemens et al (1939) collected some basic physical data pertaining to morphometry, temperature and Secchi disc transparency as parts of the survey work they carried out. Stein and Coulthard (1971) also made some limited physical measurements as a part of their more encompassing study. Aside from the above general work, little was known of the physical limnology of the Okanagan main valley lakes prior to the inception of the Okanagan Basin Study. 5.2 RESULTS Morphometric parameters for the six main valley lakes are summarised in Table 5.1. The main valley lakes present a wide variety of basins, with Okanagan Lake the largest in both volume and surface area and Vaseux Lake the smallest. Kalamalka Lake is the second largest lake, while Wood, Skaha and Osoyoos Lakes are of more similar size and volume. The greatest maximum depth occurs in Okanagan and Kalamalka Lakes, 794 and 466 feet (242 and 142 meters) respectively, while the remainder of the lakes have maximum depths of about 169 feet (50 meters). The mean depth of the lakes range from 250 feet (76 meters) for Okanagan Lake, to 21 feet (6.5 meters) for Vaseux Lake (Table 5.1). The theoretical water replacement time (residence time) of the lakes varies from 65 years for Kalamalka Lake to 1.5 weeks for Vaseux Lake (Table 5.2). The temporal changes in selected thermal layers (epilimnion, mesolimnion and hypolimnion), have been calculated for the main valley Okanagan lakes (Figures 5.1 and 5.2).
