Prepared For Volume 5C, ESA - Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Environmental Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Fisheries (Alberta) Technical Report 4.0 RESULTS OF LITERATURE REVIEW The background information presented in the following sections forms the basis for the field studies and several aspects of the determination of fish and fish habitat sensitivity (as described in Section 3.7). 4.1 General Information Geography, climate, land uses and fisheries resources vary considerably throughout the Edmonton to Hinton Segment. A general overview of fish species of management concern and RAPs relative to the Project area are also presented in Sections 4.1.2 and 4.1.3. Details about the environmental setting, background information and existing land uses, proposed crossings and corresponding fish distributions for each watershed are presented in Section 4.2. Section 4.3 provides details concerning the information and distribution of selected indicator fish species and Section 4.4 provides details concerning other fish species of management concern occurring with the watersheds defined for the Edmonton to Hinton Segment’s Fish and Fish Habitat RSA. 4.1.1 Background The Edmonton to Hinton Segment is located on both Crown and privately-owned lands (i.e., Green and White Areas, respectively) administered by the AESRD Lands Division and encompasses the Edmonton Capital Region. The proposed pipeline corridor lies within AESRD’s Fish Management Zone 2, Parkland Prairies (PP) Watershed Unit PP2 and Zone 1, Eastern Slopes (ES) Watershed Unit ES3 (ASRD 2009). The proposed pipeline corridor crosses the Athabasca Ranch Public Land Use Zone, administered by the Forests Act, Forest Recreational Regulation (AESRD 2012d). From east to west, the Edmonton to Hinton Segment crosses Strathcona, Parkland and Yellowhead counties (Table 4.1).

The Sturgeon River Watershed falls in both of the aforementioned Fish Management zones. The Water Survey of Canada maintains several hydrological stations year-round on some of the watercourses crossed by the proposed pipeline corridor. A summary of historic hydrometric data from the hydrological stations near the proposed pipeline corridor is provided in Table 4.2. All of the hydrographs considered for the Edmonton to Hinton Segment show similar seasonal flow patterns which indicate annual high flow events coincide with snowmelt. Flows are lowest during the winter months from October through March and discharge begins to increase during the spring in April. Peak flows vary depending on the size and location of the watercourse, but the North Saskatchewan River reaches peak flow in July, while the smaller rivers and creeks reach peak flow from April to June. Flows begin to decline in July and continue to decline until October, just prior to freeze-up. Graphical representation of discharge data from these monitoring stations is provided in Appendix B.

However, two fish species listed by COSEWIC, lake sturgeon and bull trout, are known to occur in the North Saskatchewan River Basin in the vicinity of the proposed pipeline corridor (COSEWIC 2013). Since 2006, the Saskatchewan River populations of lake sturgeon have been listed by COSEWIC as Endangered. The Endangered listing indicates that this population is “facing imminent extirpation or extinction” (COSEWIC 2013). The Saskatchewan River populations of bull trout have recently been listed as Threatened by COSEWIC, while Western Arctic drainage populations (which includes the Athabasca River Basin) have been listed as Special Concern (COSEWIC 2013). Provincially, the general status of lake sturgeon has been recently downgraded from At Risk to its current listing of Undetermined (ASRD 2010a); however, Alberta’s ESCC has designated lake sturgeon as a Threatened species (AESRD 2012b). Provincially, Arctic grayling and bull trout have a general status listing as a Sensitive species (ASRD 2010a), but according to the ESCC are Species of Special Concern 7894/December 2013 REP-NEB-TERA-00005 Page 4-2 Volume 5C, ESA - Trans Mountain Pipeline ULC Environmental Technical Reports Trans Mountain Expansion Project Fisheries (Alberta) Technical Report (AESRD 2012b). Sauger and northern redbelly dace are also listed (general status) as Sensitive in Alberta (ASRD 2010a) and are known to occur in the North Saskatchewan and Athabasca River basins near the proposed pipeline corridor. In addition, rainbow trout (Athabasca River population) and spoonhead sculpin are listed (general status) as At Risk and May be at Risk in Alberta, respectively. Athabasca rainbow trout are also listed by the ESCC as In Process (AESRD 2012b). Table 3.1 provides all of the definitions of the general status listings as identified in the general status of Alberta Wild Species. Table 4.3 presents the status of all the species of management concern previously documented within watercourses crossed by the proposed pipeline corridor. In addition to listed fish species (as defined in Section 3.2.6), other species of management concern are also documented within the Fish and Fish Habitat RSA. Several species with secure designations are documented at proposed crossings within the pipeline corridor including: brook trout; brown trout; rainbow trout (introduced populations); cutthroat trout; mountain whitefish; yellow perch; mooneye: and goldeye.

  • 2013 Chip Lake Report
    THE ALBERTA LAKE MANAGEMENT SOCIETY VOLUNTEER LAKE MONITORING PROGRAM 2013 Chip Lake Report COMPLETED WITH SUPPORT FROM: Alberta Lake Management Society’s LakeWatch Program LakeWatch has several important objectives, one of which is to collect and interpret water quality data on Alberta Lakes. Equally important is educating lake users about their aquatic environment, encouraging public involvement in lake management, and facilitating cooperation and partnerships between government, industry, the scientific community and lake users. LakeWatch Reports are designed to summarize basic lake data in understandable terms for a lay audience and are not meant to be a complete synopsis of information about specific lakes. Additional information is available for many lakes that have been included in LakeWatch and readers requiring more information are encouraged to seek those sources. ALMS would like to thank all who express interest in Alberta’s aquatic environments and particularly those who have participated in the LakeWatch program. These people prove that ecological apathy can be overcome and give us hope that our water resources will not be the limiting factor in the health of our environment. Acknowledgements The LakeWatch program is made possible through the dedication of its volunteers. We would like to thank Torsten Lajoie Flyng, George Bloom, and Brent Evans. We would also like to thank Jared Ellenor, Nicole Meyers, and Elynne Murray who were summer technicians with ALMS in 2013. Program Coordinator Bradley Peter was instrumental in planning and organizing the field program. Technologists Chris Ware and Sarah Hustins were involved in the training aspects of the program. Lisa Reinbolt was responsible for data management.

NO .''5 (REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.5, published in 1978 as Fish. Environm.Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (804). Due to budget restrictions and the high cost of printing, combined with an expanding distribution list, it is no longer possible to publish this series as Technical Reports. Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory. Please note that those from outside Canada requesting copies of this series will be sent the Reference Indexes only. However, the Canadian Freshwater Features Section will be sent if specifically requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.5(revised)". Can.Dept.Fish.Oceans, Pacific & Freshw.Fish., Great Lakes Biolimnol.Lab., Unpubl.Rept. FORMAT The bibliography is divided into two sections:- (1). Reference Index Each of these references contains information on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. They are numbered and appear in numerical order. This enumeration is consecutive and continuous through the bibliography series. (2). Freshwater Feature Index This section is divided into alphabetical order of provinces and within each province the freshwater feature names are in alphabetical order. The coordinates (in minutes and degrees, latitude and longitude) are given for each feature except for British Columbia where, for the most part, the quadrilateral indexing system is used.

  • AB Fishing Guide
    ZONE 1 consists of the mountains and foothills that form the “Eastern Slopes” along the Rocky Mountains from Montana to the Grande Prairie region. Throughout this zone, tributary creeks flow into larger streams, which in turn are tributaries to major rivers. These watersheds, with their alpine and foothills lakes, and their clear, cold rivers and tributaries, support numerous trout and mountain whitefish populations, as well as Arctic grayling populations in the north. Sportfishing regulations are summarized for each of the following four Watershed Units: the Oldman and Bow rivers (ES1), the Red Deer and North Saskatchewan rivers (ES2), the Athabasca and Pembina rivers (ES3), and the Smoky River (ES4). EMERGENCY STREAM CLOSURES Westslope Cutthroat Westslope Cutthroat Alberta Environment and Parks may announce short-term emergency Trout and Bull Trout Trout stream closures throughout Zone 1 in response to drought conditions have a 0 limit throughout resulting in low stream flows and warmer water temperatures.
