Tolko Industries, through the Forest Investment Account (FIA), provided the funding for this assessment, and allowed the project to be completed on the most critical coho producing streams both within and outside Tolko’s timber license operating boundaries. In addition, we would like to acknowledge the assistance and support of the North Thompson Indian Band. The Simpcw people have a vested interest in ensuring fish, and in particular salmon species, have quality spawning and rearing habitat available. Their dedication to this cause initiated the project. Finally, we would like to thank Cascadia Natural Resource Consultants Ltd. for their high quality mapping services, without which, some of these culverts would not have been located!

  • The Cariboo and Monashee Ranges of British Columbia: an Alpinist’S Guide
    1 THE CARIBOO AND MONASHEE RANGES OF BRITISH COLUMBIA: AN ALPINIST’S GUIDE by EARLE R. WHIPPLE Even today, British Columbia is still a wilderness of mountains, valleys, glaciers, forest and plateau. The Columbia Mountains (Interior Ranges; which include the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges) lie within British Columbia, west of the Canadian Rockies and the southern Alberta-British Columbia border. This guide describes the access and mountaineering in these two ranges. Aside from parts of the Coast Range and the northern Rockies, the Cariboo and Monashee Ranges are the most isolated in B.C. However, if one listens to the helicopters from the lodges in these ranges, when camped there, one may question this. Large, active glaciers (now in retreat) with spectacular icefalls exist in the mountains of the western part of the Halvorson Group, the northern Wells Gray Group, the Premier Ranges, the Dominion Group and northern Scrip Range; there is climbing on rock, snow and ice, and routes for those climbers wishing easy, relaxing climbing in beautiful scenery. Good rock climbing on gneiss is in the southern Gold Range and Mt. Begbie in the north. There are also locales offering fine hiking on trails or alpine meadows (Halvorson Group, southern Wells Gray Group, southern Scrip Range, and the Shuswap Group), and backpacking traverses have been worked out through the Halvorson and Dominion Groups, the Scrip Range and the Gold Range. Beautiful lake districts exist in the northern Cariboos, and the Monashees. The area covered by this book starts northwest of the town of McBride, on Highway 16, southeast of Prince George, and extends south to near the border with the U.S.A., staying within the great bend of the Fraser River, and then west of Canoe Reach (lake; formerly Canoe River) and just west of the lower Columbia River south of its great bend.

  • Valemount & Area Environmental Background
    Valemount & Area Environmental Background Report Prepared to provide background information to support the development of the Valemount and Area Integrated Land Use Development Plan Prepared By : Beryl Nesbit, Planning Biologist MSRM Rhonda Thibeault, Land and Resource Analyst MSRM Gordon Borgstrom, Manager of Regional Planning Specialists & Tourism Land Use, MSRM FOREWORD The area surrounding the Village of Valemount is poised for significant change. Although the landscape of the area has already been altered by settlement, major infrastructure corridors and natural resource extraction activities, it seems very likely that major resort developments will significantly increase the population and ecological “footprint” of the community in the next two decades. The purpose of this paper is two-fold: first, to identify and discuss the existing environmental information knowledge base for the area – specifically, known sensitive and environmentally important species, lands, waters, and ecological parameters for the region; second, recognizing that the area is likely to see significant population and settlement growth in the near future, the paper makes recommendations on appropriate actions for the Village, Regional District, and Provincial governments to consider in order to help preserve important environmental attributes in the area. This paper has been prepared by Ministry of Sustainable Resource Management (MSRM) staff as a technical background paper to support the completion and preparation of the Valemount and Area Integrated Land Use Development Plan. MSRM is appreciative of the support of Ministry of Water, Land, and Air Protection Environmental Stewardship staff that have reviewed and commented on this paper. 1 1 Canoe Mountain as viewed from Highway 5 south of Valemount 2 Table of Contents Foreword pg.2 1.0 Purpose and Background pg.6 2.0 Introduction pg.7 3.0 Fish and Wildlife Species in the Planning Area pg.9 3.1 Fish and Wildlife Overview pg.9 3.2 Fish pg.

  • 4.0 CORRIDOR and FACILITY SITE SELECTION the Project Includes Further Looping of the Existing 1,150 Km TMPL System from Edmonton to Burnaby in Operation Since 1953
    Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Volume 5B: ESA – Socio-Economic Trans Mountain Expansion Project Section 4.0: Corridor and Facility Site Selection 4.0 CORRIDOR AND FACILITY SITE SELECTION The Project includes further looping of the existing 1,150 km TMPL system from Edmonton to Burnaby in operation since 1953. The 987 km of pipeline that will be looped as part of TMEP traverses a wide range of landforms from flat farmland to mountainous terrain. Land use varies from densely populated urban areas around Edmonton, Vancouver and elsewhere to sparsely populated rural agricultural and forested Crown lands. The pipeline segments to be constructed as part of the Project will also potentially cross over 500 rivers and streams, 8 provincial parks and 13 Indian Reserves (IRs). An overview of the general routing objectives/criteria and proposed pipeline corridor is provided in Section 4.2 of Volume 2. A more detailed description of the pipeline corridor and selection process is provided in Section 2.8 of Volume 4A. This section provides an overview of the selection process for the proposed pipeline corridor, including a discussion of how environmental, socio-economic, Aboriginal engagement, stakeholder consultation and other factors influenced pipeline corridor selection. While the proposed pipeline will generally require a construction right-of-way of 45 m, a 150 m corridor was selected to define the boundaries of the environmental resource surveys, landowner contacts and other survey needs. This section also describes the site selection for permanent facilities such as terminals, pump stations (including access roads and power lines) and mainline block valves, as well as the site selection process for temporary facilities used during construction, such as staging and stockpile sites, equipment storage sites, construction office sites, construction work camps, work areas for trenchless watercourse crossings, temporary access roads, borrow pits and log decks.

  • Canadian and American Notes
    432 Canadian and American No tes. CANADIAN AND AMERICAN NOTES. LEVELLINGUP MOUNT WHITNEY. THE official height of Mt. Whitney, the highest point within the United States outside Alaska, has been changed frequently since th e summit was first discovered in 1864 by Clarence King and Richard Cotter of the California State Geological Survey. These early sur­ veyors dispelled the rather vague notion of a range of mountains 17,000 ft. high standing on th e E. side of th e Sierra Nevada range, and gauged the new-found peak to be some 350 ft. higher than Mt. Tyndall, th e one upon which they stood I n July 1864, Clarence King again attempted to reach the summit of Mt. Whitney, but failed by 300 or 400 ft. According to the most reliable calculations King had reached a height of 14,740 ft., so th at the summit of th e mountain was estimated to be about 15,000 ft. The Times Atlas still persists in giving Mt. Whitney thi s altitude despite the fact th at later surveys have shown the summit to be some 500 ft . lower, and until last year the height of 14,501 ft. was the generally accepted one. Being exactly half the height of Mt.Everest tbis was a convenient figure to remember, but the U.S. Coast and Geodetic Survey spent part of th e summer of 1928 in depriving Mt. Whitney of this touch of sentiment. The height of Mt. Whitney has changed again, and again for the worse, but thi s tim e th e drop is not a serious matter.
