We have included the presenters name, affiliation, their preferred date(s) for presenting and a summary of their presentation along with supporting references. Several of our presenters have very limited time availability and have requested as much specificity as possible for when they will present. We have no funding to retain them for additional time if the hearing schedules change during the week. We’d appreciate your accommodation of our requests to the maximum extent possible and we acknowledge your difficult challenge of coordinating the panel hearings. The TNG will have a technical team present for the duration of the technical sessions, and would appreciate having a table and microphone set up in the hearing room where we can work and have the necessary documents readily available. We anticipate the size of our group to average 4 people throughout the week. Please confirm if this possible. This letter includes the following: Attachment A An outline of the topics Dr. Kevin Morin will present Attachment B A summary of Stratus Consulting’s presentation and references Attachment C Information on the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance (UFFCA) and contact information for Chief Thomas Alexis Attachment D Dr. Gordon Hartman’s CV Stand alone PDF files attached to this letter include: 1) Dr. Gordon Hartman’s review of the fish compensation plan 2) Dr. Patt Larcombe’s summary of the impacts to Tsilhqot’in current use and cultural values from the proposed project 3) Mr. Wayne McCrory’s CV 4) Mr. Wayne McCrory’s summary of terrestrial ecosystem impacts from the proposed project 5) Xeni Gwet’in’s community based climate change adaptation plan 6) Select documents from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans regarding the proposed project, released to TNG under the Access to Information Act. SESSION-SPECIFIC COMMENTS & REQUESTS 1. Water Quality and Quantity Our presentation of concerns with the water quality and quantity impact assessment is complex and multi-faceted. We urge the panel to give adequate time for this issue to be fully discussed. We will have several experts presenting at the hearings, at significant expense. Our water quality experts are available only on April 26th and 27th. We do not have the funding, nor do they have the time to extend their presence in Williams Lake later than 5 pm Tuesday April 27th. Thus, we request the water quality and quantity issues be heard starting Monday morning, April 26th through Tuesday afternoon, April 27th. Dr. Kevin Morin, P.Geo., L.Hydrogeo. Minesite Drainage Assessment Group Dr. Morin will present a summary of his findings on the adequacy of Taseko’s estimation of acid rock drainage and metal leaching. His presentation will address the material submitted by the proponent to date. An outline of the topics Dr. Morin will present is appended to this letter as Attachment A. Dr. Morin’s presentation will take about 1.5 hours. Dr. Ann Maest, Dr. Cameron Wobus, Dr. Josh Lipton, Dr. Jeff Morris, Mr. James Holmes, and Ms. Constance Travers, Stratus Consulting Inc. The Stratus Consulting group will assess Taseko’s information presented to date including: contaminant sources, geochemical testing, geochemical modeling, mine site water balance and hydrogeology, tailings storage facility seepage estimation, accuracy of water quality impact prediction at Prosperity mine and case studies from other mines, and prediction of toxic effects on salmonid fisheries. A summary of Stratus Consulting’s presentation and key references are appended to this letter as Attachment B. We will need teleconference capability for this presentation. Stratus Consulting’s presentation will take about 2 hours. 2. Fishery stocks, habitat and fish compensation plan Chief Thomas Alexis from the Tl'azt'en Nation Chief Alexis will be addressing the panel on behalf of the Upper Fraser Fisheries Conservation Alliance (UFFCA) on the importance of the Chilco Salmon runs to First Nations as a traditional and cultural food source. Information on UFFCA and contact information for Chief Alexis is appended to this letter as Attachment C. Chief Thomas’s presentation is expected to take ½ hour. Tsilhqot’in fishery experts and Dr. Jeff Morris, Stratus Consulting These presenters will focus on the importance of the salmon fishery within traditional Tsilhqot’in territory. The experts will build upon the fish toxicology presentation of Dr. Morris and present information about potential project impacts on salmon within the Taseko River and by extension the Chilcotin River watershed. This presentation is expected to take ½ an hour. Dr. Gordon Hartman Dr. Hartman will present his review of the fish compensation plan. Dr. Hartman’s CV is appended to this letter as Attachment D. Dr. Hartman’s written submission are attached as a stand-alone PDF file 2 with this letter. Dr. Hartman is only available to attend the hearings for one day and has requested the chance to speak between 11 am and 3 pm on Wednesday, April 28th. Dr. Hartman’s presentation will take about 1 hour. 3. Terrestrial Ecosystem Wayne McCrory RPBio. of McCrory Wildlife Services Ltd. Mr. McCrory will present his review of the wildlife impact assessment information presented to date by the proponent. Mr. McCrory’s CV, written submission and reference material are attached as separate PDF files to this letter.

Socioeconomic Issues Ms. Patt Larcombe, Symbion Consultants Ms. Larcombe’s presentation to the Panel will entail: (1) summarizing the evidence provided by Tsilhqot’in members during the Community Hearings on current use and cultural values; and (2) conclusions regarding social, economic, cultural and health impacts, including Project impacts on current use based upon community evidence and professional opinion. Ms. Larcombe did not have an opportunity to deliver her presentation on community-based impacts associated with mining projects at the Xeni Gwet’in hearing due to time constraints and therefore, she is submitting that presentation to the Panel in writing at this time (stand alone PDF file attached to this letter). Ms. Larcombe will require about one hour for her presentation. Ms. Larcombe must make her presentation some time on Thursday, April 29th as she must leave Williams Lake by noon on Friday, April 30th to return home for scheduled surgery on the morning of May 1st . Please confirm the requested time slots for presenters as soon as possible so that we can make the necessary arrangements. Thank you for your consideration of our submission.

Oldham, R. Broadland, C.D. ‘Bill’ Osborne and early members of the North Okanagan Naturalists Club. In the 1950s and 60s much of the early groundwork for the establishment of the park was made by these individuals. Special acknowledgement is owed also to Ernest Laviolette, Eugene Foisy and Charlie Foisy. Their wilderness adventure over several months one summer in the 1960s was captured on the film “The Call of the Monashee”. This film, and the publicity it created, was another pivotal component towards the protection of this spectacular wilderness area for future generations. The Friends of Monashee Park and the Cherry Ridge Management Committee were instrumental in providing information on community interests and history within the park as were current members of the North Okanagan Naturalist Club, notably Kay Bartholomew and Pamela Jenkins. Dale Kermode provided invaluable historical photos of his late father’s (Doug Kermode) early explorations in the park.

  • Appendix C: List of Other Park Systems

    Appendix C: List of Other Park Systems

    APPENDIX C LIST OF OTHER PARK SYSTEMS WITHIN THE PRRD The PRRD is well served with parks of various kinds and levels within its boundaries. Although there are no national parks within the PRRD, there is an abundance of provincial parks, protected areas and ecological reserves. The PRRD encompasses a portion of one of the largest Forest Districts in the province, the Fort St John Forest District which itself has an area of approximately 4.6 million hectares. The large size is as a result of the amount of crown land in the district area. The result of all of this open space area is that when compared to other regional districts across the province the PRRD comes out well especially when regional population densities are considered. As compared to other Regional districts such as: Regional District of East Kootenay The Regional District of East Kootenay (RDEK) has 28 provincial parks, 2 conservancy protected areas, 1 national park, 6 wildlife management areas, 93 recreation sites, 66 recreation trails and 3 Ducks Unlimited properties within their land area of 27, 560 sq km and a population density of 2.0 based on a total population of 56,685. Regional District of Central Kootenay (RDCK) has 28 provincial parks, 1 wilderness conservancy park, 1 ecological reserve, 2 wildlife management areas, 49 recreation sites and 64 trails. The RDCK has a land area of 22,130.72 sq km and a 2011 population of 58,441 for a population density of 2.6 persons per sq km.

Administrative History An Ecological Reserve is an area of Crown land (public land) with the most special conservation designation within the British Columbia Protected Areas system. The purposes of the reserves are for scientific research, the establishment of benchmark areas to measure changes in ecosystems, protection of biological diversity, protection of rare and endangered organisms, and the preservation of unique, unusual or outstanding natural phenomena. In the 1960s and `70s, Canada participated in a decade of research known as the International Biological Program (IBP); this involved the description of essential sites on standard international check-sheets. In some cases, check-sheets are the only source of information for many ecological reserves. The British Columbia Ecological Reserves Act passed in 1971; this meant that BC became the first Province in Canada to give permanent protected status to ecological reserves. The Province has the world’s most comprehensive ecological reserves program, as of 2015, there are 148 ecological reserves in BC. University of British Columbia Professor Vladimir Joseph Krajina (1905-1993) advocated for the formation of ecological reserves throughout the 1950s amidst the increase in logging in the Province.
