Leech, P.Geo. Practice Lead, Environment The Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores Initial Screening for Siting a Deep Geological Repository for Canada’s Used Nuclear Fuel Executive Summary On May 14, 2012, the Corporation of the Town of Saugeen Shores expressed interest in learning more about the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s (NWMO) site selection process to find an informed and willing community to host a deep geological repository for Canada’s used nuclear fuel (NWMO, 2010). This report summarizes the findings of an initial screening, conducted by AECOM, to evaluate the potential suitability of the Town of Saugeen Shores against five screening criteria using readily available information. The purpose of the initial screening is to identify whether there are any obvious conditions that would exclude the Town of Saugeen Shores from further consideration in the site selection process. The initial screening focused on the areas within the boundaries of the Town of Saugeen Shores.

  • Spatial, Temporal, and Cohort-Related Patterns in the Contribution of Wild Chinook Salmon ( Oncorhynchus Tshawytscha ) to Total Chinook Harvest in Lake Michigan
    SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND COHORT-RELATED PATTERNS IN THE CONTRIBUTION OF WILD CHINOOK SALMON ( ONCORHYNCHUS TSHAWYTSCHA ) TO TOTAL CHINOOK HARVEST IN LAKE MICHIGAN By Mart Christopher Williams A THESIS Submitted to Michigan State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Fisheries and Wildlife 2012 ABSTRACT SPATIAL, TEMPORAL, AND COHORT-RELATED PATTERNS IN THE CONTRIBUTION OF WILD CHINOOK SALMON ( ONCORHYNCHUS TSHAWYTSCHA ) TO TOTAL CHINOOK HARVEST IN LAKE MICHIGAN By Mart Christopher Williams During 2006–2010, the majority of hatchery-produced Chinook salmon ( Oncorhynchus tshawytscha ) stocked into Lake Michigan were marked with a combination of oxytetracycline (OTC), coded-wire-tags (CWT), and fin-clips to distinguish between hatchery and wild origin. The goals of this research were to: (1) evaluate the accuracy and reproducibility of the OTC mark, (2) examine spatial, temporal, and cohort-related patterns in the contribution of wild Chinook salmon, and (3) explore how differences in size-at-age and maturity-at-age may affect the proportion of wild Chinook salmon. OTC mark accuracy and reproducibility was determined to be adequate based on the error matrix fish, OTC mark quality distribution, and OTC mark presence/absence reader agreement was excellent. The lakewide proportion of wild age-1 Chinook salmon for four year-classes ranged from 53.52 to 56.92% with little interannual variation. The proportion of wild Chinook salmon increased as the fish became older (i.e., age- effect), suggesting differential survival between hatchery and wild fish. The proportion of wild age-1 Chinook salmon was greater in Michigan than Wisconsin, but was similar for older ages.
