Objectives are prepared only for those waterbodies and water quality characteristics that may be affected by human activity now or in the near future. How Objectives Are Determined Water quality objectives are based the BC approved and working criteria as well as national water quality guidelines. Water quality criteria and guidelines are safe limits of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water, biota (plant and animal life) or sediment which protect water use.

Dawson Creek Limited Watershed Assessment File: 631-001.02 Final Report - i - January 2006 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This report documents the findings of the Dawson Creek Limited Watershed Assessment conducted by Hemmera Envirochem Inc, (“Hemmera”) on behalf of the Dawson Creek Watershed Society. The Dawson Creek Watershed is located near the City of Dawson Creek, in northeastern BC. The watershed supports a number of land uses and economic activities including: urban development, agriculture, oil and gas exploration, and recreation and tourism activities. Human development activities in the watershed have altered Dawson Creek. The Dawson Creek drainage basin covers an area of 274 km2, has a mainstem length of 43.5 km and includes several tributaries (Ski Hill Creek, South Dawson Creek, Frondizi Creek, plus many un- named tributaries). The watershed drains from west to east, through the City of Dawson Creek and empties into the Pouce Coupe River. The purpose of the watershed assessment is to develop an understanding of the baseline watershed conditions. It is intended that this information will be used to assist the Dawson Creek Watershed Society in developing strategies for restoring and managing the watershed. The assessment methodology involved research of existing baseline information; compilation of baseline information onto GIS maps; discussion of baseline conditions and identification of preliminary issues and recommendations.

  • Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia
    Northeast Water Strategy Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia British Columbia Ministry of Environment & Climate Change Strategy Water Protection and Sustainability Branch November 2018 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Surface Water Quality Data Summary for Northeast British Columbia (B.C.) began in 2016 as a project under the Northeast Water Strategy (NEWS) to inventory the available water quality data, up to January 2018, and identify gaps to inform future monitoring. This data summary fulfills the NEWS Action Area 1: Enhancing information to support decision- making. Once water quality knowledge gaps in Northeast B.C. are identified, we can begin to address them as part of the NEWS Action Area 4: Enhancing monitoring and reporting. Summarizing available water quality data is an essential first step in defining an effective water quality monitoring program. In order to make informed decisions, it is important to first determine what data are available and what additional data are required to answer a given question. This report inventoried available data from the B.C. Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy (ENV) Environmental Monitoring System (EMS) Database and the Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) open government portal. This report compliments a previous NEWS project, the Disturbance-Sensitivity Based Approach, which established the 69 watershed boundaries used in this report and ranked the watersheds in order of water monitoring priority. This report is divided into two parts: Part 1 is an overall data summary including a map of all 69 watersheds and a table summarizing the corresponding water quality data; Part II provides more detail on the water quality data available for each watershed, including waterbody and type of parameters measured.

TD227.B7W37 363.73’942’0218711 C93-092392-8 WATER QUALITY IN B.C. - OBJECTIVES ATTAINMENT IN 1996 AND 1997 iii SUMMARY The setting of water quality objectives in priority basins in British Columbia began in 1982. By the end of 1997, the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks had set water quality objectives in 46 bodies of water, both fresh and marine, throughout the Province. Annual monitoring to check the attainment of objectives started in 1987. This report presents the results of monitoring done in 1996 and 1997 to check the attainment of objectives in 15 basins (1996) and 14 basins (1997). Due to budgetary restraints, the program has been considerably as compared to previous years. The results are summarized in a series of tables. For all Ministry Regions the objectives were met 81 percent of the time in 1996 and 77 percent of the time in 1997. The findings in 1996 and 1997 are slightly less than the 1995 figure (83%), and also less than previous years when attainment ranged from 94 percent in 1987 to 83 percent in 1995.
