  • Biodiversity Conservation Strategy Part4
    Backyard Biodiversity Planning for habitat in the urban matrix should include less maintenance. Ground cover (logs, rock piles, dense features, either natural or artificial, that will support the shrubs) provide important refuge areas for wildlife. three basic needs of wildlife: Artificial habitat such as nesting boxes and bee hives can provide great benefit; however they do require maintenance. • Shelter In developed areas, access to water can be scarce. Provision of a water feature is very important. This can be as simple • Food as a bird bath. Consideration should be given to reducing • Water unwanted conflicts with wildlife. This includes control of pets (cats/dogs), reducing bird-window collisions and man- Indigenous plants should be used where possible.

Many of these features replace ute to support biodiversity in highly urbanized areas where it is not possible to protect conventional grey infrastructure (e.g. pipes, culverts, pavement) and reduce the amount larger areas of natural habitat. of hard surface on a landscape. Surrey’s Integrated Stormwater Management Plan supports the use of many of these strategies, alternatively known as Low Impact Design (LID).

  • South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report
    Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report John Carleton, Conservation Planner John Jacobson, Geographic Information Systems Analyst 5/14/2009 South Lewis County Habitat Analysis Report Introduction To inform the South Lewis County Subarea planning process, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW) and Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) were consulted to analyze habitats and ecosystem processes, respectively, across the local area. The purpose of the two agencies’ work is to provide information on natural systems that will allow the planners to accommodate growth while avoiding unintended consequences, such as loss of local biodiversity, or increased flooding. This habitat report is to be incorporated as an appendix to the watershed characterization. South County Subarea The south county subarea, shown on the right, was drawn as a rectangular zone incorporating the cities of Winlock, Toledo, and Vader, plus some of the surrounding unincorporated county. As of 2008, population in the subarea was approximately 10,200. Although the three cities have concentrations of residences and businesses, most of the subarea is rural, with agriculture and residential land uses predominant, and with a significant portion of undeveloped land. Figure 1. South Lewis County Subarea The primary landform feature is a series of relatively flat terraces at increasing elevation, leading away from the Cowlitz River. Forested habitats include conifer and mixed conifer/hardwood; oak woodlands are a minor component. A major portion of the land was historically prairie, now largely converted to agricultural use, although featuring patches of remnant native vegetation. Cowlitz River and several tributaries run across the subarea.

  • Line 2 Construction, Operations and Emergency Response
    REPORT 3 Application Summary: Line 2 Construction, Operations and Emergency Response 3.1 Overview This section describes the Proposed and Alternate Routes that were assessed, and includes a summary of the planning, construction and emergency response processes that Trans Mountain proposes in their application to the NEB (referred to hereafter as the Application). Because of the broad spatial scope of Trans Mountain’s Application, SBRP is rarely mentioned in any of the documents. This section considers the regulatory requirements that Trans Mountain must meet during construction and operations, and indicates how these are likely to guide Trans Mountain’s construction and operations activities in and around SBRP. 3.2 Proposed and Alternate Routes The Proposed Route (orange) and Alternate Routes (Option A- yellow; Option B-pink) are identified in Figure 1-1. Trans Mountain’s Proposed Route enters the southeast portion of the park at the intersection of Trigg Road and 104th Avenue, and extends west adjacent to 104th Avenue to the CN rail tracks. This route would follow the east side of the tracks past Centre Creek for approximately 900 m before crossing beneath the railway tracks and the SFPR. Both Alternate Routes avoid SBRP entirely. The Option A route is located between the CN Rail Corridor and the Golden Ears Connector to the south of the park; it crosses 104th Avenue and follows the corridor between SFPR and the CN tracks. The Option B route extends along the SFPR on the southwest side of the road. 3.3 Pipeline Design and Construction 3.3.1 Guiding Legislation Trans Mountain’s proposed expansion project falls under the regulatory jurisdiction of the NEB under the National Energy Board Act, the regulatory requirements of the NEB Onshore Pipeline Regulations (OPR), and the regulatory requirements of the following: Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency; Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO); Transport Canada; and Affected municipal, provincial, rail and utility authorities.

  • Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
    Conserving Biodiversity: Fostering Partnerships & Preserving Life December 2010 PREFACE The Fraser Valley Conservancy (FVC) is a not for profit charitable organization located within the Fraser Valley of British Columbia. It is dedicated to placing lands in trust for our future. As such, the organization believes that the Fraser Valley is a collage of biologically diverse habitats which should be valued and protected. FVC has mandated goals to, i) protect and preserve the land and watercourses that have recognized local and regional ecological value; ii) to promote, facilitate and engage in land stewardship activities; iii) to protect, preserve and enhance habitat for native species including rare and endangered species, and; iv) to protect and preserve land of recognized local and regional historic value. www.fraservalleyconservancy.ca Fraser Valley Regional Biodiversity Strategy I EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This document presents a need for a strategy that outlines preservation, conservation and restoration measures to protect biodiversity in the Fraser Valley. This document describes opportunities for various existing conservation efforts to be synchronized and how current gaps in data can be filled. This process was initiated in 2009 and will provide support to current and ongoing stewardship and biodiversity actions. It is a regionally based planning and conservation initiative that will increase partnerships and collaboration between Fraser Valley stewardship groups and all levels of government. The intent is to support the work of Fraser Valley organizations in the conservation and enhancement of biodiversity and will aid in the dissemination of and access to scientific and conservation data. This information will also reveal where there are gaps in data sets that create barriers to effective biodiversity enhancement and protection (FVC 2009).

Aquatic and Terrestrial Ecosystems Baseline Report for 84 Avenue in Bear Creek Park Project No. 105763-01 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The City of Surrey (the City) is proposing to extend 84 Avenue from King George Boulevard to 140 Street (the Project) as part of a larger 84 Avenue extension initiative. Aplin & Martin Consultants Ltd. (Aplin Martin) was retained by the City to lead the Project and provide civil engineering services. Hemmera Envirochem Inc. (Hemmera) is providing environmental inputs for the Project on behalf of Aplin Martin. Hemmera has reviewed and documented baseline conditions for the Project’s environmental components including aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems in the Project study area. The purpose of this Aquatic and Terrestrial Resources Baseline report is to document existing vegetation and wildlife habitat and fish and fish habitat present in the Project study area. Vegetation and wildlife species in BC are afforded legal protection and are managed under federal, provincial, and municipal legislation such as the federal Fisheries Act, Species at Risk Act (SARA), Migratory Birds Convention Act, the provincial Wildlife Act, and various City Bylaws. Fish are protected by the federal Fisheries Act and streams (including wetlands) are protected by the provincial Water Sustainability Act.
