CHENG ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING AND REPORTING BRANCH MINISTRY OF THE ENVIRONMENT TORONTO ONTARIO 2002 KK PREFACE This report provides a regional assessment of the groundwater resources of areas draining into Hudson Bay, James Bay, and the Upper Ottawa River in northern Ontario in terms of the geologic conditions under which the groundwater flow systems operate. A hydrologic budget approach was used to assess precipitation, streamflow, baseflow, and potential and actual evapotranspiration in seven major basins in the study area on a monthly, annual and long-term basis. The report is intended to provide basic information that can be used for the wise management of the groundwater resources in the study area. Toronto, July 2002.

  • 2012 Great Lakes Lake Sturgeon Coordination Meeting Ramada Plaza Ojibway Hotel 240 W
    2012 GREAT LAKES LAKE STURGEON COORDINATION MEETING RAMADA PLAZA OJIBWAY HOTEL 240 W. PORTAGE AVE. SAULT STE MARIE, MI 49783 Poster Abstracts The Importance of Intake Bar Spacing for Protecting Sturgeon at Hydropower Projects Steve Amaral ‐ Alden Research Laboratory, Inc., Holden, MA Description: Narrow bar spacings (less than or equal to 2 inches) have been installed at many hydro project intakes to reduce entrainment of fish through turbines and, when combined with angled structures, to guide them to downstream bypasses. The ability of narrow bar spacings to prevent entrainment is dependent on fish size and behavior and approach velocities. Even when fish are small enough to pass through a given bar spacing, many fish will actively avoid entrainment through intake racks as long as approach velocities are low enough for them to escape. Additionally, the relatively small size (less than 8 inches in length) of most fish that are entrained at hydro projects (with and without narrow bar spacing) usually results in high turbine survival rates. Therefore, determining appropriate bar spacings for any species or life stage should include estimation of physical and behavioral exclusion associated with proposed intake modifications, as well as estimates of turbine passage survival for fish that are entrained. These parameters can be estimated using existing data describing bar rack exclusion efficiencies and theoretical models developed for predicting turbine passage survival. When combined with the proportion of fish expected to pass over spillways for the expected river flows during a migration season, the bar rack exclusion and turbine survival estimates can be used to calculate total downstream passage survival for several bar spacings and a range of fish lengths in order to assess relative effectiveness.

Stinson Department of Geology Lakehead University Thunder Bay, Ontario A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science © Victoria Stinson, 2013 11 ii ABSTRACT The Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt is located along the boundary between the Wabigoon and Quetico subprovinces in the Superior province of the Canadian Shield. Historical gold mines and current gold exploration camps are located throughout the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt and adjacent Wabigoon subprovince in moderately to steeply dipping ductile to brittle-ductile shear zones in many types of lithologies, with various metamorphic grades, and alteration styles. The shear zones typically strike east- west along the boundary of the Beardmore-Geraldton greenstone belt with the Wabigoon subprovince to the north as well as along the boundary with the Quetico subprovince to the south. Field mapping and petrography, including microstructural analysis, were used to characterize the gold mineralization and investigate the control on gold mineralization in the Elmhirst, Castlewood, Pagwachuan, and Milestone properties in Greenstone, Ontario. Two property-scale and seven trench-scale maps were produced from field mapping and one hundred twenty-three transmitted and reflected light thin sections were prepared from samples collected from these properties.

Il s’agit de l’un des plus gros poissons d’eau douce au Canada. On le reconnaît à ses grosses plaques osseuses et à son museau large et rond. Son aire de répartition regroupe les importants lacs et rivières qui vont du bassin versant de la rivière Saskatchewan en Alberta, à ceux de la baie d’Hudson et du fleuve Saint-Laurent au Québec, jusqu’au cours inférieur du fleuve Mississippi au sud. Sa répartition est étendue en Ontario, où on le recense dans tous les grands bassins versants de la province. Il revêt d’ailleurs une importance particulière pour les Autochtones. L’Ontario a identifié trois unités désignables (UD) en fonction de la différenciation génétique au sein de l’espèce (COSEPAC, sous presse), du plan d’eau occupé et de la séparation physique des populations : rivière Saskatchewan et fleuve Nelson, Sud de la baie d’Hudson et de la baie James, et Grands Lacs et haut Saint-Laurent. En Ontario, le nombre d’individus dans deux des UD (populations de la rivière Saskatchewan et du fleuve Nelson et celles des Grands Lacs et du haut Saint-Laurent) a chuté de plus de 90 % en 100 ans, principalement en raison de la pêche commerciale, de la pollution de l’eau, des obstacles à la migration que sont les barrages hydroélectriques et de la menace que posent les activités de gestion de l’eau et de régularisation du débit, ces dernières pouvant restreindre la disponibilité de la nourriture.

  • Draft Proposed Assessment Report for the Lakehead Source Protection Area
    Draft Proposed Assessment Report for the Lakehead Source Protection Area Bare Point Intake Protection Zone Rosslyn Wellhead Protection Area LAKEHEAD SOURCE PROTECTION COMMITTEE February 11, 2010 Preface The Ontario Government legislated the “Clean Water Act, 2006” in order to protect drinking water at the source as part of an overall commitment to human health and the environment and to ensure safe, clean drinking water for all Ontarians. Protecting “Source Water” is the first step in a multi-barrier approach to ensure the quality and sustainability of our Municipal Residential Drinking Water Supply. A key focus of Ontario’s “Clean Water Act, 2006” is the production of locally developed, science-based Assessment Reports and Source Protection Plans. Based on the “Clean Water Act, 2006” Regulations, the Lakehead Source Protection Area was defined, the Lakehead Source Protection Authority was designated and the Lakehead Source Protection Committee was formed. The Lakehead Source Protection Committee, with support from the Lakehead Source Protection Authority, is responsible for guiding the development of a Terms of Reference, Assessment Report and Source Protection Plan for the Lakehead Source Protection Area. As per the “Clean Water Act, 2006”, the Minister of the Environment appointed Chairs for the Source Protection Committees on August 20, 2007. Subsequently, representatives from the watershed community (Municipalities, Conservation Authorities, stakeholders, water users and general public) were appointed to the Source Protection Committees.

  • Isolated Copper Artifacts from Northwestern Ontario
    DAWSON: COPPER ARTIFACTS 63 K. C. A. DAWSON Assistant Professor of Anthropology Lakehead University, Ontario (Accepted February 7th, 1966) Isolated Copper Artifacts From Northwestern Ontario Over the last three years, there have been a number of finds of copper artifacts in the area immediately north of Lake Superior. Most have been single finds, and all are fabricated from native copper. The following records descriptions of the finds. LARGE CHISEL—PORT ARTHUR (Fig. 1 ) This was found in lucustrine deposits, about twelve feet below the present surface, during sewer excavations on the first terrace above Lake Superior in downtown Port Arthur in 1962. It is now in the collection at Lakehead University. The chisel is rectangular in section, has a flat base, and a slightly convex upper side. The bit is spatula-like and is bevelled on the flat side. The surface has been pounded smooth and is a copper brown colour with virtually no green discolouration. There are numerous flaws in the metal. MEASUREMENTS: Total length 32.0 cm. Maximum width 4.6 cm. Thickness 1.2 cm. Weight 113.4 gm. SOCKETED SPEAR POINT—KASHABOWIE (Fig. 2 ) The find was made in 1964 by Basil Battley, a local collector from Port Arthur. The point was found in the shallow shore water of Upper Shebandowan Lake at the mouth of Kashabowie River, in association with flint artifacts of possible Late Archaic date and under the Borden system of site designation, the site is referred to as Dd Jo-1. There were fragments of wood in the socket, but these were insufficient for more accurate dating.
