  • Wildlife Impacts Associated with the Proposed Upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway (Park Bridge to Brake Check): Preliminary Design Considerations
    OSIRIS WILDLIFE CONSULTING STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT SOLUTIONS Wildlife Impacts Associated with the Proposed Upgrades to the Trans-Canada Highway (Park Bridge to Brake Check): Preliminary Design Considerations Prepared for: Darcy Grykuliak, P.Eng. Lead Engineer, Kicking Horse Canyon Project Focus Corporation Ltd. Prepared by: W.L. Harper, M.Sc., RPBio Osiris Wildlife Consulting Victoria, BC December 15, 2004 Trans-Canada Highway Wildlife Impacts – Park Bridge to Brake Check Executive Summary This highway design project consists of upgrading, redesigning and relocating 5.5 km of the Trans-Canada Highway adjacent to the Kicking Horse River 12 to 17 km east of Golden, British Columbia. The environmental analysis in this report addresses potential wildlife impacts and their mitigation at a level appropriate to the preliminary design stage of the highway project. With appropriate mitigation measures in place, it is unlikely there will be measurable negative impacts on wildlife populations associated with direct mortality from animal- vehicle collisions, habitat fragmentation from barriers to animal movement, direct loss of habitats to the project footprint, or cumulative effects associated with other wildlife impacts in the area. Although the exact nature of the appropriate mitigation measures required cannot be determined until the detailed design stage, there are a number of reasonable and tested mitigation techniques available. Minor modifications to drainage culverts and concrete roadside barriers should address small animal concerns, and the bridge and tunnel system, if properly designed, should address large animal concerns. Although the faster design speed and straightening of curves in the project area means vehicle traffic speed will increase with completion of the project, a combination of mitigation measures, possibly including wildlife exclusion fencing, can mitigate these impacts of direct mortality.

They cover about 170,000 km2, are about 150 km wide, and have an estimated glacierized area of 38,613 km2. Mount Robson, at 3,954 m, is the highest peak. Glaciers range in size from ice fields, with major outlet glaciers, to glacierets. Small mountain-type glaciers in cirques, niches, and ice aprons are scattered throughout the ranges.

    The Ninth North American Caribou Workshop, S1 Kuujjuaq, Québec, Canada, 23–27 April, 2001. Rangifer and man: An ancient relationship Bryan Gordon Canadian Museum of Civilization, 100 Laurier st., Gatineau, Québec, Canada J8X 4H2 ([email protected]); home address: 38 Revol Road, Ottawa, Ontario, K2G 0B9. Abstract: A long-term relationship between Rangifer and humans is documented in three case studies: the Canadian Barrenlands (8000 years ago to Historic period), Ice-Age France (11 000-19 000 years ago) and Mesolithic Russia (7000- 10 000 years ago). Ancient human and herd migration occurred in all areas, based upon Rangifer remains and seasonal variations in tools along reconstructed migration routes, with few if any hunting camps outside the routes. An April peak of ancient human births is inferred from the historic record where we see births occurring nine months after peak nutri- tional states in herds and people. The origin of reindeer domestication and breeding in Eurasia is discussed. Key words: Barrenlands, caribou, herd following, hunters, Magdalenian, Mesolithic, reindeer.

  • Ch1 Overview
    INTRODUCTION This assessment constitutes the technical evaluation of the biological and physical characteristics of the Kootenai River Subbasin, the first step in the development of a subbasin plan, which once completed will be reviewed and adopted as part of the Northwest Power and Conservation Council’s Columbia River Basin Fish and Wildlife Program. The primary purpose of the plan is to help direct Bonneville Power Administration funding of projects that protect, mitigate, and enhance fish and wildlife that have been adversely impacted by the development and operation of the Columbia River hydropower system. This is an international basin, and while our analysis is focused on the U.S. portion of the subbasin, Canadian management agencies have contributed significant amounts of data, which we have included where appropriate. The primary purpose of the assessment is to bring together and synthesize technical information so that it can be used to develop the biological objectives that will form the foundation of the management plan. Chapter 1 is an overview of the subbasin environment. Chapter 2 examines in some detail the major biomes For the PowerPoint found in the subbasin—aquatic, riparian/wetland, grassland, coniferous forest. introduction to the Kootenai Each of these biomes is evaluated in terms of ecological function and process and and Flathead Subbasin Plans how human activities have affected those functions and processes. For each biome that the Subbasin Coordinators gave the we also describe the current condition and several reference conditions. Chapter Independent Scientific Review 3 assesses fish and wildlife communities in the subbasin, Chapter 4 examines the Panel, go to Appendix 114.

    Terasen Pipelines (Trans Mountain) Inc. Environmental Assessment TMX - Anchor Loop Project Section 5.1 5.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC SETTING OF PIPELINE AND FACILITIES 5.1 Introduction The following section is a summary of the environmental and socio-economic conditions for the Proposed Route of the TMX – Anchor Loop Project. It was compiled from technical studies conducted in 2004 and 2005, and has been supplemented where warranted with materials listed in Section 5.5. 5.1.1 Spatial Boundaries Five spatial boundaries were used to describe the environmental and socio-economic conditions within the Project area. These spatial boundaries were determined using Guide A.2.4 Description of the Environmental and Socio-Economic Setting of the NEB Filing Manual (2004). The spatial boundaries considered for describing the environmental and socio-economic conditions include one or more of the following study areas (Figure 5.1): • A Project Footprint study area made up the area directly disturbed by assessment, construction and clean-up activities, including associated physical works and activities (i.e., permanent right-of-way, temporary construction workspace, temporary access routes, temporary stockpile sites, temporary staging areas, construction work camps, off load areas, borrow pits, facility sites). • A Local Study Area (LSA) consisting of a 2 km buffer centered on the proposed pipeline right-of-way. The LSA is based on the typical ‘indirect footprint’ of pipeline facilities and activities (i.e., the zone of influence within which plants (50 m), animals (500 m), and humans (500-800 m) are most likely to be affected by project construction and operation.
