Bibliography on the Limnology and Fisheries of Canadian Freshwaters BIBLIOGRAPHY ON THE LIMNOLOGY AND FISHERIES OF CANADIAN FRESHWATERS. N0.2(REVISED). by H.F.NICHOLSON Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory, Canada Centre for Inland Waters, 867 Lakeshore Road, Burlington, Ontario. L7R 4A6 1982 PREFACE This is a revised edition of Bibliography No.2, published in 1975 as Environm. Can., Fish.Mar.Serv., Techn.Rept., (504). 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 Instead, each number will be issued in this present looseleaf form as an unpublished report of the Great Lakes Biolimnology Laboratory.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, unless otherwise requested. This issue can be referenced as:- Nicholson, H.F. 1982. "Bibliography on the limnology and fisheries of Canadian freshwaters. No.2(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 num~rical 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. Apart from French names, it is usual for the specific name to precede the generic name, as in Elliot Lake, but in a few cases the reverse is true, such as Lake Nipissing, in which case the latter will appear as Nipissing, Lake, with a comma after the-specific name. The words Saint and Sainte are abbreviated to St. and Ste. respectively but appear in the sequence as if they were spelled in full. Approved Names - these are always printed in upper case. As well as those given in the Gazetteers and their Supplements, these names also include some which have been only recently approved and it is unlikely, therefore, that for the present at least these new names will be found on the topographical maps. Previous Names - these are always printed in lower case. As well as appearing in alphabetical order with the approved names they can also be found below and to the right of the relevant approved names. Misspelled names as found in the literature also come under this category. Each previous name will appear only once in the bibliographies. Temporary names - these are given by investigators to those freshwater features which are unnamed. Where their geographical coordinates are known, they appear in the bibliographies in upper case and preceded by an asterisk(*). In some cases, more accurate positioning than latitude and longitude is available from the compiler. When these features are allocated an approved name, which need not be the same as the temporary name, by the Canadian Permanent Committee on Geographic Names, notification will appear in amendment lists published in later issues. The numbers in brackets following the geographical coordinates refer to the numbered references in the Reference Index. NOTICE TO AUTHORS The most time-consuming work involved in the preparation of these bibliographies is the identification of those freshwater features which are inadequately described in the literature. A great deal of published data cannot be included in this series because the features referred to cannot be identified. Authors are therefore urged to include the geographical coordinates as given in the Gazetteers or their Supplements when referring to Canadian freshwater features in their publications. - 1 - REFERENCE INDEX 1001.

The Central Sector is serviced by the Joint Utilities Board (JUB) Lagoon Systems co-owned by the City of Duncan and the Municipality of North Cowichan, and also provides service to properties within parts of CVRD Electoral Areas D and E and parts of Cowichan Tribes reserve. The Joint Utilities Board (JUB) sewage treatment lagoons are located adjacent to the Cowichan River. The aerated lagoon treatment system produces secondary quality effluent, which is disinfected by chlorination, then dechlorinated. Treated wastewater is discharged into the lower reaches of the Cowichan River and subsequently to the Cowichan Estuary and ocean environment. In recent years, low flows in the Cowichan River have resulted in a situation where there is insufficient dilution of the effluent plume with respect to the river flow. This resulted in the temporary closure of the Cowichan River to recreational activities in August of 2014. It is proposed that the point of discharge be moved from the Cowichan River to the marine environment of Satellite Channel, where significantly more dilution can be achieved and where the likelihood of interaction between the effluent plume and sensitive areas can be reduced.

This information is necessary to determine whether remedial action to eliminate/diminish these sediment sources is warranted to assist in the recovery of Cowichan River chinook stocks. The specific objectives of the study were to: 1) monitor suspended sediment levels above and below known point sources at various flows during the 2005-2006 winter, 2) determine the level of fine sediment in selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, 3) assess incubation survival by in situ trials and by hydraulic sampling at selected spawning sites above and below the major sediment sources, and 4) undertake a literature review on the effects of fine sediment on egg-to-fry survival. Suspended sediment levels were monitored by taking in situ turbidity measurements and by collecting water samples for lab analysis of total suspended solids (TSS). Substrate composition of spawning beds was assessed by collection of sediment samples at 1 site above the sediment sources (control) and 2 sites below the sediment sources (test sites).

    EIRB File No. 02/10-05 May 2011 ISSUED FOR USE 215 3.1.9 Wildlife and Wildlife Habitat This section of the document focuses on terrestrial mammals likely to be found within the local and regional study area and is based on a review of background information and traditional knowledge as well as the results of field studies. As defined under the IFA, “wildlife” means all fauna in a wild state other than reindeer. Section 3.1.9 considers terrestrial mammals and Section 3.1.10 considers birds. 3.1.9.1 Terrestrial Mammals There are 34 species of terrestrial mammals potentially occurring in the Regional Study Area for the proposed Highway (Table 3.1.9-1). The local and regional abundance and distribution of these species varies considerably depending on habitat availability and access to terrain suitable for various life history phases, such as calving and denning. No terrestrial mammal species were assessed as “at risk” under the NWT General Status Ranking Program (GNWT ENR 2011a).

  • North Saskatchewan Region Surface Water Quality Management Framework
    North Saskatchewan Region Surface Water Quality Management Framework A surface water quality management framework (framework) is being developed for the North Saskatchewan Region. The framework establishes an approach for monitoring and managing the cumulative impacts of human activities on water quality in the North Saskatchewan and Battle rivers. Cumulative effects management was first introduced in the North Saskatchewan Region with the Water Management Framework for the Industrial Heartland and Capital Region, which was developed in 2008 to address anticipated development in the Capital Region. At that time, government and stakeholders committed to maintaining or improving surface water quality in the stretch of the North Saskatchewan River from Devon to Pakan. Stakeholder and indigenous engagement on a Surface Water Quality Management Framework began in 2015 as a component of the North Saskatchewan Regional Plan, and continued in 2018. The current engagement will build on these initiatives and processes.
