Box 7500, Drumheller, Alberta T05 0Y0, Canada; [email protected] Summary: Charcoal is recorded from late Cretaceous sediments of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada and represents the first documented observations of charcoal at this locality despite over one hundred years of research. Abundant charcoal deposits have been recorded throughout the 1.7 million year sediment sequence indicating multiple fire events within this locality. Fire appears to be a major influencing factor within this Cretaceous ecosystem and may have affected the life of the inhabiting dinosaurs. The occurrence of charcoal allows reconstruction of the burned vegetation at multiple locations within Dinosaur Provincial Park. The charcoal assemblage is comprised of gymnosperm wood only, which may be a reasonable representation of the local vegetation; however it could be the result of a taphonomic bias. The absence of additional plant types within the charcoal assemblage may also be due to certain species being preferentially burnt owing to a more fire prone nature. Key words: wildfire, charcoal, gymnosperm, wood, Cretaceous INTRODUCTION Fire plays a major role in modern ecosystems, greatly influencing plant communities (Bowman et al., 2009). The anatomical preservation of charcoal makes it a highly useful tool that allows reconstruction of plants, and therefore the vegetation of specific localities.

  • WSC 5-2012 Future Water Source Options
    r: Abbotsford rr ¢VI/ Mission Water & Sewer Ser vices REPORT To: Abbotsford Mission Water & Sewer Commission From: Tracy Kyle, Director of Water & Solid Waste Date: February 22, 2012 Subject: Future Water Source Options - Next Steps File: 5330-60 Report No.: WSC 5-2012 UTILITY MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE (UMC) RECOMMENDATION THAT Report No. WSC 5-2012, dated February 22, 2012, from Tracy Kyle, Director of Water & Solid Waste, regarding the Water Source Options - Next Steps, be received. 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).
