  • 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).

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.

THAT Report No. WSC 69-2012, dated June 27 , 2012, from Kristi Alexander, Water Planning Engineer, regarding Water Supply Options Short-Listing, be received; 2. THAT the District of Mission report to the AMWSC at the August meeting on their independent source study; 3. THAT staff move forward with further investigations of Norrish Creek Source Expansion, Fraser River and Stave Lake as preferred future water supply options; and 4. THAT, should the AMWSC wish to move forward with further investigations of three additional preferred supply options, that the additional budget, shown below, be transferred from contingency. a. Stave-to-Cannell Recharge: $100,000 b. Miracle Valley Aquifer: $350,000 c. Metro Vancouver Water: $50,000 BACKGROUND As Abbotsford and Mission grow, water demands will continue to increase. At some point, the existing water sources will not be sufficient to meet those demands. In anticipation of such a time, the Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission (AMWSC) and its predecessor, the Central Fraser Valley Water Commission spent considerable effort over the last 20 years investigating future water source options. With the rejection of the Stave Lake P3 Water Supply project, it is necessary once again to examine options. This exercise is important in 2012, to ensure there is sufficient time to plan, permit, design and build infrastructure for a new source.

  • Fishing Strategy at the Ruskin Dam Site (Dhro-59) on the Stave River
    CHAPTER 14 Sturgeon as Staple: Fishing Strategy at the Ruskin Dam Site (DhRo-59) on the Stave River Brendan Gray Cordillera Archaeology Becky Wigen Pacific Identifications Duncan McLaren Cordillera Archaeology Introduction including the Harrison and Pitt Rivers (Ptolemy and Ethnographic and ethnohistoric literature indicate sturgeon Vennesland 2003). were an important resource for groups living in the Lower Fraser River Region (Lord 1886; McHalsie 2007; Suttles 1974). However, ichthyofaunal assemblages from most archaeological sites in the region often contain relatively large numbers of salmon bones, but sturgeon bones are absent or represented in low numbers. At the Ruskin Dam Site (DhRo-59) located on the Stave River (Figure 1), significantly more sturgeon bones were recovered compared to any other fish species. This suggests congruence with ethnographic accounts, but is anomalous when compared to other archaeological sites in the region. This chapter considers several explanations for this observed pattern and argues that sturgeon were a staple food at the site from 3000 years BP onwards. Fraser River Sturgeon Habitat and Ecology Two species of sturgeon are present in the Lower Fraser River: white sturgeon (Acipenser transmontanus) (Figures 2 and 3), and green sturgeon (A. medirostris). White sturgeon are the largest fresh water fish in North America, reaching an impressive 6 m long and 600 kg in weight (Scott and Crossman 1973). Definitely anadromous, there are many records of these fish being caught in marine waters, and they are reported to prefer mouths of large rivers (Scott and Crossman 1973:91). They spawn in fresh water in the Spring. Scott and Crossman report that the flesh of green sturgeon has an unpleasant smell and taste (1973:91) that make it less preferable than white sturgeon, which has a mild and pleasant taste.

  • 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.
