the best efforts of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and Yukon Governments to meet the requirements, intent and spirit of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Final Agreement and the Umbrella Final Agreement. It is meant to provide sound guidance for the cooperative management of the cultural and natural resources at Forty Mile, Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine Historic Site. This is a comprehensive document but not without limitations and is not written in stone. Though it sets us on course it must be treated as a dynamic work in progress, open to improvement as we discover new opportunities and gain greater experience along the path of its implementation. The plan respects the principles described in the Final Agreement: – protection, conservation and interpretation of Heritage Resources at the site. – recognition and protection of the traditional and current use by the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in. – encouragement of and public awareness of and appreciation for the natural and cultural resources at the site. and – provision of reasonable opportunity to the public to visit and appreciate the site Nothing in this Management Plan will, or is intended to abrogate the rights guaranteed under the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Final Agreement (Self Government Agreement) or impair the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in inherent right to practice traditional pursuits. As long as the intent and good will of both governments that went into the development of this plan remains in mind during its implementation, Forty Mile, Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine Historic Site will survive and flourish to exemplify and honour our precious heritage. A heritage to be shared, respected and cared for by all Yukoners. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Forty Mile, Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine Historic Site Steering Committee would like to thank the many people who have taken time to read and comment on the work while in progress or to attend public forums and provide their feedback. The Management Plan reflects the care and understanding that Yukon residents have for their special places. Steering Committee Members A six member Steering Committee consisting of 3 members from the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and 3 members from the Government of Yukon guided the planning process: Doug Olynyk, Heritage Resources Unit, Peggy Kormendy, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Tourism & Culture Georgette McLeod, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Ruth Gotthardt, Heritage Resources Unit, Tourism & Culture Irene Nagano, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Afan Jones, Parks Branch, Environment Jody Beaumont, Heritage Officer, Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and Bruce Barrett, Heritage Resources Unit, Government of Yukon, have also provided support to the Committee and the consultants. BACKGROUND 1.0 BACKGROUND 1.1 INTRODUCTION This Management Plan was commissioned by the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in First Nation in partnership with the Yukon Government on behalf of the Forty Mile, Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine Historic Site Steering Committee. The Steering Committee consists of three members of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in and three members of the Yukon Government. The plan is a requirement under Section 3 of Schedule A of Chapter 13 of the Tr’ondëk Hwëch’in Final Agreement. It is also the first step in the conservation of the heritage resources at Forty Mile, Fort Cudahy and Fort Constantine. In this document the shortened term ‘Forty Mile’ or ‘Forty Mile

  • Landslide Dams and Creek Stabilization
    2005 Dawson City, Yukon Landslide Dams and Creek Stabilization at the Former Clinton Creek Asbestos Mine Gil Robinson, P.Eng., Ken Skaftfeld, P.Eng., Rolf Aslund, P.Eng., UMA Engineering, Winnipeg, Manitoba Hugh Copland, P.Eng. Government of Yukon, Whitehorse, Yukon 1.0 Abstract Risk assessment techniques were used to identify the risk associated with a breach of a landslide dam in the Clinton Creek valley at the former Clinton Creek Asbestos Mine, which is located about 100 km northwest of Dawson City, Yukon. Since closure of the mine in 1978, concerns have been raised with respect to the physical condition of the site, in particular downstream hazards associated with breaching of the landslide dam forming the Hudgeon Lake outlet. The risk was mitigated by designing a stable channel over the landslide dam, also known as the Clinton Creek waste rock dump, of which the most important design component is the gabion drop structures. The gabion drop structures act as grade control points which are connected by a nearly flat graded channel to prevent erosion of the channel fill materials. Gabions were selected because they are simple to construct yet robust and flexible enough to accommodate some lateral movement of the creeping landslide mass. The channel stabilization works consist of four gabion drop structures constructed within the first 200 m of the channel downstream of the Hudgeon lake outlet. In the fall of 2002, the first stage of these repairs was undertaken, which included the construction of Drop Structure #1 and re- grading of the Hudgeon Lake outlet. The second drop structure was built in 2003 and the last two drop structures were constructed in 2004.

To collect age, sex, length, weight, and girth data as well a genetic tissue samples from Chinook salmon caught with fishwheels and set nets, the two types of gear used in this area. 2.) To better understand stock biology and composition of the Ruby harvest throughout subsistence windows. Budget Priority Framework 2006: • Improve information on biological composition of run; and, • involve and educate users and non-users in communities to increase their desire to maintain and protect salmon stocks and habitat. US and Canada Yukon River Salmon Committee Joint Technical Committee Plan: • Estimate the stock biological or other composition of escapements – 1.1.2; and, • build and maintain community capacity – 3.2.3. Budget Priorities for 2008 & Near Term Priorities: 3. Determine the quality of stock escapement 4. Community Education and Stewardship PROJECT SUMMARY: Management of the Chinook salmon fishery is difficult due to the mixed stocks of salmon, commercial and subsistence fishing, the many tributaries and the vast distance that the Yukon River flows. As a result, several controversies have arisen over time. First are concerns over allocation of the fishery based on the size of salmon runs year to year.
