British Columbia Geological Survey Geological Fieldwork 1998 GEOLOGY OF THE BABINE LAKE - TAKLA LAKE AREA, CENTRAL BRITISH COLUMBIA (93K/11, 12, 13, 14; 93N/3, 4, 5, 6) By Paul Schiarizza and Don MacIntyre (British Columbia Geological Survey Branch contribution to the Nechako NATMAP Project) KEYWORDS: Bedrock mapping, Nechako Natmap, Stikine Terrane, Asitka Group, Takla Group, Hazelton Group, Cache Creek Complex, Sitlika assemblage, Trembleur ultramafic unit, North Arm succession, ophiolite, sheeted dikes, M Area of enlargement N Fort showing. Smithers K O L P Fort St. James Vanderhoof J INTRODUCTION E Prince I F George G This paper summarizes the results of D QuesnelH bedrock mapping in the area between Babine C B Lake and Takla Lake in central British Columbia A (Figure 1). This work was done as part of the Nechako Natmap project (see MacIntyre and Struik, 1999, this volume). The 1998 bedrock mapping crew was comprised of Don MacIntyre Vancouver and Paul Schiarizza as co-leaders and geology students Angelique Justason (Camosun Victoria College), Sheldon Modeland (University of Victoria), Stephen Munzar (University of British 93N13 Columbia) and Deanne Tackaberry (University 0204060 of Victoria). The primary objective in 1998 was Kilometres to complete mapping in the northwest quadrant 1996 of the Fort Fraser (93K) map sheet.

The western overturned limb of this antiform is mainly massive limestone; the eastern upright limb near the contact with Takla Group rocks is medium to thin bedded, metachert and metasilt- stone (Photo 2). These metasedimentary rocks may comprise an upper member of the Asitka Group; alternatively they are a lower deformed sedimentary member of the Takla Group, possi- bly the Dewar Peak Formation. These metasedi- ments are similar to those overlying the Early Permian limestone at the Fulton River dam site in the Fulton Lake map sheet (MacIntyre et al., 1996).

  • Archaeological Investigations in the Takla Lake Region
    ARCHAEOLOGICAL INVESTIGATIONS IN THE TAKLA LAKE REGION John McMurdo INTRODUCTION In early spring, 1971, the Pacific Great Eastern Railway was approached by the Archaeology Department of Simon Fraser University, as construction had begun on a new railway linking Fort St. James and Dease Lake. The company was presented with plans for an extensive archaeological survey of the proposed route. It was explained that our purpose was to salvage any archaeological information that might be destroyed in the process of construction. While a grant from the Opportunities for Youth Programme would form part of the budget for this survey, the co-operation of P.G.E. was necessary, particularly in the field of transportation and 10 0 m and board, if the survey was to be successful. By May 15, 1971, P.G.E. had not only granted permission for the survey but had committed itself to providing transportation in the survey area and room and board for a crew of six. By June 15 however, the company had limited the crew size to two, and on the arrival of David Butlin and rcyself in the field on June 17, it was discovered that transportation and other facilities were limited to the area of Takla Lake. Although this area was found to have been extensively disturbed through clearing and bulldozing, a survey was initiated. The results of that survey form the basis of this report. An appendix has also been added which includes the results of discussions with some native residents of Takla Lake. THE PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT Takla Lake is approximately 50 miles long and two miles wide at its widest point.

These reports are narrative outlines of how Indian and non-native populations have used these .rivers, with emphasis on navigability, tidal influence, riparian interests, settlement patterns, commercial use and fishing rights. These historical reports were requested by the Interdepartmental Reserve Boundary Review Committee, a body comprising representatives from Indian Affairs and Northern Development [DIAND], Justice, Energy, Mines and Resources [EMR], and chaired by Fisheries and Oceans. The committee is tasked with establishing a government position on reserve boundaries that can assist in determining the area of application of Indian Band fishing by-laws. Although each report in this series is as different as the waterway it describes, there is a common structural approach to each paper. Each report describes the establishment of Indian eserves along the river; what Licences of Occupation were issued; what instructions were given to surveyors laying out these reserves; how each surveyor laid out each reserve based on his field notes and survey plan; what, if any, fishing rights were considered for the Indian Bands; and how the Indian and non-native populations have used the waterway over the past centuries for both commercial and recreational use.

    GRANISLE BRITISH COLUMBIA A FEASIBILITY STUDY TO CONVERT THE COMMUNITY FROM PROPANE TO NATURAL GAS by Craig T Sears PROJECT SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION UNIVERSITY OF NORTHERN BRITISH COLUMBIA Apri12013 © Craig T Sears, 2013 U~SITYof~RN BRITISH COLUMBIA UBRARY Prince George, B.C. Abstract Natural gas is a relatively clean burning reliable source of energy as compared to other fossil fuels, and is used to heat millions of homes across Canada. In recent years the oil and gas industries have developed procedures for extraction of natural gas using unconventional methods that have resulted in proven vast reserves in Canada. These vast reserves are driving the cost of the energy source to record low prices. Choosing natural gas for space, water and process heating in the residential, commercial and industrial sectors can decrease the demand for electricity generation. This can improve the overall efficiency of energy utilization and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. (CAPP, 2012) With the reduced cost of this energy source coupled with recent technological improvements in the compression and transportation of natural gas, the ability to supply this abundant resource to remote small communities is becoming a reality. This project will consider existing technological methods of loading, transporting, and unloading methods for natural gas and determine the feasibility of supplying the product to the remote communities ofGranisle, Moricetown, and Hazelton in North West British Columbia as a competitive alternative to propane and oil as a source of home heating. Without a significant demand for energy and considering the cost of infrastructure and operations the option of supplying natural gas to a remote community is not viable.
