Department of Cim / moo^i^y The University of British Columbia 2075 Wesbrook Place Vancouver, Canada V6T 1W5 E-6 BP 75-51 1 E ABSTRACT The Chilliwack River flows through the Cascade Mountains until reaching a narrow gorge near Vedder Crossing where it flows onto the Fraser Lowlands and eventually meets the Fraser River. Below Vedder Crossing, the river is actively building an alluvial fan by depos• iting its sediment load of gravel and sand. This deposi• tion has resulted in frequent channel shifts over the fan surface with the most recent migration occurring around 1894 when the river shifted down Vedder Creek. Over the last century the Vedder River has been undergoing very complex changes in response to changes in the incidence of severe floods, changes in sediment supply and interference from river training.

Signed Pauline Dieras Date: 05/03/2013 i Abstract Oxbow lakes are of high ecological importance due to the number and the diversity of habitats they provide. They are created after the abandonment of meanders and subsequent sediment infilling leads to their progressive terrestrialisation, taking from a few months up to several centuries. Nonetheless, little is known about oxbow lake terrestrialisation processes, sediment composition, or why such a disparity exists in lakes’ longevity. To understand the controls on oxbow lakes alluviation, field observations, remotely sensed data and GIS analyses were combined. Sediment transfers in oxbow lakes were documented by topographic and sampling surveys of sites in France and Wales.

REPORT CONCURRENCE General Manager City Manager The General Manager concurs with the The City Manager concurs with the recommendation of this report. recommendation of this report. SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE Major flooding of West Sumas Prairie and the Washington State cities of Everson, Sumas and the unincorporated areas of Whatcom, occurred in November 1990 when the overflow from the Nooksack River flooded into the Sumas River basin. The Nooksack River Overflow Flood Mitigation Plan (“Study”) is one of the next steps to address the international and transboundary issue from the United States (“US”) into Canada. The work was recently completed with funding from the National Disaster Mitigation Program; the Province supported the work in a technical advising role. This report provides a high-level summary of the findings and recommends next steps. BACKGROUND Major flooding of West Sumas Prairie and the Washington State cities of Everson, Sumas and the unincorporated areas of Whatcom, occurred in November 1990 when the overflow from the Nooksack River flooded into the Sumas River basin. A Nooksack River International Task Force (NRITF) was established in response to the flooding. The Task Force comprises members from both Canada and the US.

  • Channel Dynamics and Habitat Development in a Meandering, Gravel Bed River L
    WATER RESOURCES RESEARCH, VOL. 47, W04513, doi:10.1029/2009WR008926, 2011 Channel dynamics and habitat development in a meandering, gravel bed river L. R. Harrison,1 C. J. Legleiter,2 M. A. Wydzga,3 and T. Dunne4 Received 20 November 2009; revised 1 February 2011; accepted 11 February 2011; published 19 April 2011. [1] We investigated how channel morphology, flow complexity, and habitat characteristics in a meandering gravel bed river evolved over time from a simple, reconfigured initial condition. Using a time series of topographic data, we measured rates of channel migration and morphologic change, documented patterns of sediment storage, and estimated rates of sediment supply. We constructed, calibrated, and validated hydrodynamic models to quantify how the evolving morphology influenced hydraulic conditions, flow complexity, and habitat suitability for Chinook salmon spawning and rearing. For a series of meander bends with constant curvature, similar bank materials, and an identical flow history, sediment supply and bar storage directly influenced channel migration rates. Habitat modeling indicated that the availability of Chinook salmon spawning habitat increased over time, whereas the majority of the reach continues to provide only low‐ to medium‐quality rearing habitat for juvenile salmonids, primarily because of a lack of low‐velocity refuge zones. However, other metrics of flow complexity indicate that areas of favorable flow conditions gradually expanded as point bars developed along the inner bank of each bend. These results indicate that although sediment supply can stimulate channel change and diversify river morphology, which acts to promote flow complexity and provide spawning habitat, these sediment‐driven morphological changes might not create bioenergetically favorable habitat for juvenile salmonids.
