REQUEST FOR DECISION McCullough/Bernoties, WedgeWoods (Electoral Area C) Development Variance Permit Application #150
Meeting Dates: October 9/October 23, 2019
To: Electoral Area Directors Committee/SLRD Board of Directors
Owner: Steven McCullough; Lisa Bernoties Applicant/Agent: N/A
Location: 9084 Corduroy Run Ct, Whistler, BC
Legal description: Strata Lot 32, District Lot 2248, Group 1, New Westminster District, Strata Plan BCS3916, together with an interest in the common property in proportion to the unit entitlement of the strata lot shown on form V
OCP Zoning: ALR Status: DP Area: Designation: Comprehensive No N/A Rural Residential Development 1
RECOMMENDATION:
THAT the Board approve the issuance of a development variance permit (“Permit”) for the property legally described as “Strata Lot 32, District Lot 2248, Group 1, New Westminster District, Strata Plan BCS3916, together with an interest in the common property in proportion to the unit entitlement of the strata lot shown on form V; P.I.D. 030-252-695” to vary the minimum front parcel line setback by 3.5 meters, from 7.5 m to 4 m; and
THAT the Chief Administrative Officer or Corporate Officer be authorized to execute the Permit subject to the following:
1) Approval of the 4 m setback by the Ministry of Transportation and Highways, and; 2) Approval of Building Envelope Covenant EPP70822 amendment.
KEY ISSUES/CONCEPTS:
The applicant is requesting a setback variance of 3.5 meters, reducing the minimum setback from 7.5 m to 4 m, in order to authorize the construction of a single family dwelling. The lot configuration allows for the home to be built without encroachment into the setback, however the resulting
Page 36 of 99 Request for Decision - McCullough/Bernoties, WedgeWoods (Electoral Area ... Request for Decision McCullough/Bernoties, WedgeWoods (Electoral Area C) Development Variance Permit Application #150
backyard is expected to be small or non-existent due to the topography, which drops off to a ditch behind the proposed building footprint (Appendix A).
In addition, the applicant is working with the developer of WedgeWoods to amend the applicable Building Envelope Covenant EPP70822, which specifies a certain building envelope for the building footprint. As the proposed construction falls slightly outside of this building envelope, it will require modification.
PROPERTY ANALYSIS:
The subject 0.42 ha property is zoned CD1 – Comprehensive Development 1 in the Squamish- Lillooet Regional District Electoral Area C Zoning Bylaw No. 765, 2002 and is designated Rural Residential in the Electoral Area C Official Community Plan No. 689, 1999. The property is within the Riparian Protection Development Permit Area, but does not require a Development Permit as the proposed building envelope does not come within 30 m of a waterbody or watercourse.
Neighbourhood and Landscape
The subject property is characterized by moderate tree coverage and steep changes in elevation on a rocky surface. A geotechnical assessment will be required at the building permit application stage to determine a safe construction plan given the unique site conditions. Adjacent properties are not characterized by the same rocky terrain, but share the same zoning and OCP designation.
The proposed encroachment is on the road side of the property, thus, with the increased proximity to the road, increased visibility and massing impacts are expected. Moreover, the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure discourages any structures within 4.5 meters of the road right of way, thus a setback permit from MOTI will also be required.
Public Notification Responses
Notification letters were mailed to property owners within 50 m of the subject property on September 25, 2019, as per Board Policy No. 14-2019 - Planning Procedures.
Staff will provide all comments from neighbours to the Board of Directors meeting on October 23, 2019.
OPTIONS:
1. Offer conditional support, subject to the applicant obtaining a setback permit from MOTI, and a Building Envelope Covenant EPP70822 amendment.
2. Offer unconditional support for the application and issue the DVP as presented.
3. Do not support the DVP application as presented.
A draft of the proposed DVP has been attached for the Board’s information.

IMPLICATIONS:
Should the DVP application be rejected, the applicant will be unable to build a single family dwelling in the proposed location.

Schedule 2 Page 43 of 99 BC Parks - Pavilion Lake Concerns (Director Birch-Jones)
From: Vivian Birch-Jones
I would like to set aside $200 towards meeting costs for a community meeting on this topic, from Area B Select funds. And I would also like to consider having the SLRD spearhead this process with Transport Canada – that may need to go to the Regional Board but can we discuss it at the EAD please?
Thank you, Vivian
From: Baillie, Craig ENV:EX
Hello All,
I spoke with Mickey Macri this morning and he recommended I send you all the info I have collected from Transport Canada regarding regulations on freshwater lakes as well as a bit of the history of Parks management.
Some residents have expressed concerns over the types of motorboats on Pavilion Lake and the impacts they are having to the environment and on the local residents. Despite Pavilion Lake being primarily included within Marble Canyon Park, the Navigable Waters Act and Vessel Operations Restriction Regulations maintain jurisdiction. This means that it is not a decision for BC Parks to impose any boating regulations on the lake. About a year ago I called Transport Canada and asked about how engine size restrictions and other regulations are established on a lake. In my discussion with Transport Canada I was told that there is a very robust and complex consultation process for imposing those engine size restrictions on lakes. They told me that a local organization or authority would need to spearhead that process. They had suggested perhaps the Squamish-Lillooet Regional District or the local First Nation could be the lead. Perhaps other groups would qualify as well. They told me that the process is fairly long, but that the Office of Boating Safety can assist and can train the leads to implement the process. BC Parks would support the consensus of the residents and stakeholders. If engine size limits were implemented, I am fairly confident that Park Rangers could enforce those. At the very least, we can erect signage to inform boaters at the boat launches about the restrictions and about proper boating etiquette.
Page 44 of 99 BC Parks - Pavilion Lake Concerns (Director Birch-Jones)
The other discussion Mickey and I had was around the effectiveness of raising the issue with all the part time and full time residents in the valley. If a formal meeting occurred and the concerns on all sides of the issue were raised in a non-hostile or confrontational manner, I think many people would respect the requests being made. It is certainly possible that some boaters are unaware of the impacts their activities are having on others. They may be more likely to move their boating to the quieter areas of the lake and slow down and reduce wake when passing environmentally sensitive areas and residential areas along the lakeshore.
To clear up any confusion that may exist, BC Parks had some concerns raised to them about the SCUBA diving occurring on the lake and after a lengthy process, installed the 3 buoys on Pavilion Lake to assist with addressing these concerns. I initially engaged with the SCUBA community and in fact had a group come out to conduct a very successful lakebed clean up in June 2017. During the lead up to this event the idea was raised to install mooring buoys in order to reduce motorboat idling and to easily locate the three legal diving areas in the lake. During the planning process for the buoys I contacted the Office of Boating Safety in order to ensure the buoys would comply with the regulations. I also consulted with Mickey and other residents and asked if they could share the consultation with local residents. I also reached out to the Ts’kw’aylaxw First Nation about the project as well as NASA. The buoys were installed in the fall of 2017. We hired professional divers to guide cement blocks down to the lakebed without disturbing any microbialites. The buoys are removed each winter in order to protect them and the lake. The buoys have proved to be useful to Ranger staff in enforcing diving rules on the lake.
NASA had a Park Use Permit to conduct underwater research on the microbilites. They had a valid permit for Marble Canyon, Downing, and Edge Hills Provincial Parks starting in 2006. The last summer of operations was in 2014.
Hope that helps,
Craig

Re: Request for Funding
Hi Vivian:
For almost 90 years Lillooet Branch 66 of the Royal Canadian Legion has been a foundation of this community, supporting veterans, providing a venue for meetings, weddings, celebrations of life and many other functions, and raising money to donate to many local groups and organiza- tions through the effort and commitment of our volunteers.
We have applied to NDIT and been approved for a grant to pay 70% of the cost of new banquet chairs for our upstairs and downstairs room rentals. New chairs will make the hall more appealing to potential renters and will allow us to comfortably increase our capacity for the events we hold. We are seeking $2400 to cover the remaining balance.
The ice machine in our bar failed last November and is beyond repair. We have been purchasing bagged ice since. A replacement machine is priced anywhere up to $3500 however we have a line on one that would work for $1900.
We are hoping Area B will consider making a contribution toward the price of the chairs and the ice machine.
On behalf of Branch 66, I sincerely appreciate your considering our request.
Please contact me if further information is required to help with your decision.

Dear Mr. Oakley: re Request for funding a research project at Lajoie Lake (Little Gun Lake)
I am writing on behalf of the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) regarding a request for partial funding of a research project to get a better understanding of why Lajoie Lake has been under a steady decline for several years. Please see the attached documents for details.
This project will extend and build on the work begun in 2017 when the LLRA commissioned a study by Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd. We had discussions with John Courchesne about this proposal and he advised that we should get our request in to the SLRD by the end of September 2019.
I am ready to discuss this matter with you should you require more information.
A signed original of this letter and attached documents will be sent to the physical address as given above.
Yours sincerely,
Dale Hull, Ph.D.

Application for Funding
The Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) is requesting $14,500 in financial support from the SLRD to continue research on the overall health of Lajoie Lake (also known as Little Gun Lake) and to identify actions that could lead to its recovery after decades of decline. It is known the health of this lake has a major impact on other lakes in the watershed.
This research project is based on recommendations 2 through 5 from the work completed by Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd - Lajoie Lake: Report of Limnology Data Analysis and Anecdotal History (1930s – 2017). These recommendations are attached and the full Report is available on the Gun Lake Ratepayers website (www.gunlakeratepayers.ca) under the ‘Little Gun Lake’ tab. This Report was paid for by LLRA members and a small grant from the SLRD.
The LLRA has had extensive discussions with Dr. Kenneth Ashley of the BC Rivers Institute (part of BCIT) on this project. Dr Ashley is the foremost scientific expert on BC lakes and someone who has gained a world-wide reputation in the study of water bodies exhibiting the characteristics of Lajoie Lake. He has agreed to assign one of his graduate students to this work beginning in May 2020, and to oversee the research, if funding is secured in the next few months. (Dr. Ashley’s biography is attached along with a link to the BC Rivers Institute.)
Project budget (* estimates provided by Dr. Ashley) • * $8,000 - graduate student stipend It is expected that the Canada Summer Student Grants program will cover the 4 months of summer work; this project will then be completed during the 2020-2021 school year.
• * $1,000 - graduate student travel
• * $3,000 – laboratory costs for water chemistry, phytoplankton analysis and related work
• $10,000 - BCIT overhead costs and contribution to work of the Institute
• $500 - grant writer to secure the student stipend and other funding as needed
• $0 – monitoring equipment (The LLRA already has approximately $20,000 worth equipment on loan for data collection: * BCIT will supply other needed equipment.)
• $0 – graduate student accommodation at Lajoie Lake (16 days over 4 trips) and use of a boat (The accommodation and boat will be provided by LLRA residents.)
Total project cost: $22,500

Lajoie Lake (Bridge River Valley, British Columbia) Lajoie Lake: Report of Limnology Data Analysis and Anecdotal History (1930s – 2017) Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd
Recommendations (page 29)
To determine if Lajoie Lake is becoming more eutrophic as suggested by the changes observed and documented by the residents, Cascade recommends the following:
i. A freedom of information request should be made by the LLRA to obtain all exisiting studies or data related to Lajoie Lake
ii. Residents should seek expert advice and assistance to conduct a baseline biological research project of the Lake and its circumstances. Such a study would provide a scientific background against which tests of challenging hypotheses regarding the state of affairs with the Lake could be tested.
iii. A paleolimnology assessment of the lake should be carried out where cores of bottom sediments are analysed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the lake has experienced
iv. Once the baseline study is complete a long-term monitoring study should be carried on the lake to detect changes to fish population and health, nutrient levels, aquatic vegetation growth rates and sediment accumulation.
v. A biological, systematic research project of Lajoie Lake should be undertaken under expert advice and supervision to gather data over time in a consistent manner to permit conclusive analysis to ultimately direct remedial action. The project should include a study of fish and other aquatic life forms, vegetation, etc.

Executive Summary
Studies conducted on the lake in combination with nutrient measurements taken from the lake but not formally reported have been inconclusive in determining if the lake is in fact undergoing the process of eurtrophication. Certain water quality measurements taken from Lajoie Lake suggest the lake is undergoing the process of eurtrophication while others suggest the lake is in an oligotrophic or mesotrophic state. One measure of lake eutorphication is based on concentrations of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a roughly indicates the concentration of plant biomass (UNEP, n.d.). Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 were compared to the United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) standards for eutrophication. The Total Phospurus measurements indicated that the lake was mesotrophic. The Totoal nitrogen results indicate that the lake is Oligotrophic. Chorophlyyll measurements were only reported in the 1991 study at which time the results indicate that the lake was mesotrohpic. The Canadian Water Quality for the Protection of Aquatic Life set Total Phosphorus trigger ranges based on the range of phosphorus concentrations in water that define the reference trophic status for a site (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2004). A comparison of the Total Phosphorus measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 to the trigger ranges indicate that Lajoie was bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic in 1991. However Total Phosphorus measurements taken in 2011 suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic. Conversely Total Phosphorus taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011 indicating that Lajoie was once again bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). Metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were first report in 1991. Since the 1991 report various metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. The levels of aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and vanadium have decreased since 1991. The level of manganese in the lake is similar to what was recorded in 1999. Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake. Phytoplankton were measured in Lajoie Lake in August, 1991, and exhibited phytoplankton numbers of 2720 cells/ml. The number of phytoplankton/ml classify indicates the lake falls within the mesotrophic range of 1000 to 5000 cells/ml (Nordin, 1986). No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation or sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. This should be a priority item for future study since the species composition will provide additional clues regarding the health of the lake. The data that is available is difficult to compare as parameters that were measured and the timing of the data collection varies widely within years and between years. Cascade recommends developing a monitoring program with clearly defined parameters of measurement to capture monthly and annual changes on the lake. No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation or sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. Future monitoring of Lajoie Lake should include assessments of aquatic vegetation and sediment levels in the lake as well as monitoring for the rate of growth and accumulation. The residents of Lajoie Lake provided a fairly detailed history of Lajoie Lake since the lake was first settled in 1912. The residents have recounted the major natural and anthropogenic changes that have occurred on the lake since the late 1930s. Unfortunately, all available limnological studies of the lake were carried out after 1990. Since the residents identify major changes to the lake occurring between 1970 and 1990 data records for this time is critical. It may be possible to identify changes to the lake through a paleolimnologial assessment of the lake whereby cores of bottom sediments are dated and

analyzed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the lake has experienced. The data that the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) provided as well as the data that is publicly available is limited. Cascade found references for studies that have been conducted on Lajoie Lake; however these studies are not publicly available. Cascade recommends that the LLRA submit a freedom of information request to obtain these and any other studies or data related to Lajoie Lake.

1 Introduction
Lajoie Lake, also known as Little Gun Lake, is located 90 km northwest of Lillooet (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The lake is situated in the Dickson Range of the Coast Mountains below Mt. Penrose and at elevation of 907 m (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008), (Grace, 1991) (Map 1). Lajoie Lake is a small lake with a 65.8 ha surface area, and is a relatively shallow lake with a maximum depth of 23.5 m and mean depth of 12.2 (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008), (Grace, 1991). The lake is fed by six streams including two perennial streams, Penrose Creek and Alder Brook (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995) (Map 2). Lajoie Lake drains into Lajoie Creek which then drains into Gun Lake. Fish species present in Lajoie Lake include cutthroat trout (Oncorhynchus clarkii), Dolly Varden (Salvelinus malma), kokanee (Oncorhynchus nerka), pea-mouth chub (Mylocheilus caurinus), prickly sculpin (Cottus asper), rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) and redside shiner (Richardsonius balteatus) (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). . Historically, bull trout have been misidentified as Dolly Varden throughout British Columbia and it is likely that the fish identified as Dolly Varden are bull trout (Salvelinus confluentus). Rainbow trout are stocked annually in Lajoie Lake, while kokanee were stocked in Gun Lake but migrate into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). A few homes and summer cottages are located on Lajoie Lake. Property owners and other users of the lake have reported that Lajoie Lake appears to be undergoing the process of eutrophication (excessive richness of nutrients in a lake, which causes a dense growth of plant life, lack of oxygen and subsequently a reduction of animal life) and there is evidence of changes to the water level of the lake. Studies conducted on the lake have been inconclusive in determining if the lake is in fact undergoing the process of eutrophication. Certain water quality measurements taken within Lajoie Lake suggest the lake is undergoing the process of eutrophication while others suggest the lake is in an oligotrophic state (nutrient poor). As such the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) have retained Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd. (Cascade) to summarise and analyse all data currently available regarding the limnology of Lajoie Lake, identify data gaps and provide recommendations for future steps towards management of the lake. The summary will include anecdotal information provided by the LLRA from residents and users of Lajoie Lake. Note from residents
The property owners on Lajoie Lake] met on April 27, 2017 to form the Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA). The LLRA is interested in identifying the cause(s) of the deterioration in the quality of Lajoie Lake and where useful undertaking scientifically based remediation projects.
It was agreed that in order to establish a baseline for further investigation and activities the first step was to collect and assess all existing studies, data points and the residents’ anecdotal history. The objective was to draw out some initial conclusions (including conclusions on the eutrophic condition of the lake) and recommendations for next steps. Cascade Environmental Resource Group Ltd was contracted to undertake this work.

2 Anecdotal History
Anecdotal information regarding the health and visual appearance of Lajoie Lake was collected from long term residents and recreational users of the lake. Documented observations of the lake’s physical appearance spanned from the 1930s to 2017 and were summarized in this report from the following Residents of Lajoie Lake: • Peter Manning (from late 1930s) • Jimmy O’Keefe (from 1945) • Lois Bett (from 1941) & John Bett • Dale Hull (from 1970), Judith (Manning) Hull (from 1940s) • Don Reed (1968) • Norman Gladstone & Birgit Westergaard (from 1981)
1912-1930
Lajoie Lake was first occupied by Matt Forster in 1912 (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Forster carried out mining activities in the vicinity of Lajoie Lake and dumped mine tailings into the lake. The evidence of which is still present and visible near the Hull house (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Map 2). Following the arrival of Mr. Forster; Charlie and Jean Hayward (grandparents of J. O’Keefe) began visiting and camping at the lake in the late 1920s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Hayward observed Mr. Forster using a pitch fork to fish Dolly Varden/bull trout out of Penrose Creek as he believed they ate trout eggs (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). 1930-1970
P. Manning made several observations of the biophysical environment of the lake over a 50 year period between 1930 and 1980. He observed evidence of volcanic ash fall on the forest floor surrounding the lake. P. Manning also observed a healthy fish population in the lake during this time period with spawning taking place in late June to early July in Penrose Creek (comm. P. Manning, 2017). Snails and leeches were present in the lake as were muskrat. However, there were no beavers present during this time period (comm. P. Manning, 2017). Each summer P. Manning observed a pair of loons (Gavia sp.) on the lake with their chicks. He also observed osprey (Pandion haliaetus) nesting on snags at the top of the field and feeding on fish from the lake. P. Manning reported the presence of a dark green weed growing in the lake from the shallows to approximately 10 feet in depth as well as an annual growth of a mustard yellow weed with spindly stems and sparse round leaves. It grew up from the bottom and the tops floated on the surface later in the summer. This aquatic macrophyte continues to be present in the lake today although it is unknown if it is increasing. The creek was usually clear including during freshet. The flow in Alder Brook was lower than current flow rate; however, there was little variation in spring and summer flows over that 50-year time period (comm. P. Manning, 2017). 1930s
Mr. Hayward staked a mineral claim on the south shore of Lajoie Lake in 1931. The claim was later sold to Bralorne Mines. Bralorone staked the remaining property as mineral claims in 1931 (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The Lodge was built in 1934 and the road to the lake was built in the same year (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Sometime between 1937 and 1938 the Hayward family built a log cabin on the Reno claim owned by Matt Forster (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017).

Eight other assorted cabins and houses were built between the 1930s, 40s and 50s and were used by Bralorne Mines employees. 1940s
L. Bett first visited Lajoie Lake in 1941. At that time the lake was clear with a lava base making for good drinking water (comm. L. Bett, 2017). Fish in the lake were plentiful and the weeds were the natural ones, like the plants that are currently visible on top of the water (comm. L. Bett, 2017). To date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify if the aquatic vegetation present in the lake is naturally occurring or invasive. J. O’Keefe first visited Lajoie Lake in 1945. At that time the lake was very busy with visitors to the Lodge as well as employee activity on the Bralorne property (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Mr. Forster was operating a farm in addition to his mining operations and trapline (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Between 1940 and 1965 J. O’Keefe did not recall observing any beavers; however he did observe an abundance of invertebrate life in the lake. J. O’Keefe collected caddis fly cases, dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, leeches and other small fauna in a small wash tub in the lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Fish were also observed as abundant and mostly disease free. Observations of fish with lice or other signs of stress were rare in occurrence (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Swallows (Hirundinidae) were observed feeding on invertebrates at the surface of the lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe also recalled observing large toads, water frogs, tree frogs and snakes. Amphibians with the potential to occur in the Thompson region include: the Columbia spotted frog (Rana luteiventris), the great basin spadefoot frog (Spea intermontana), the Pacific chorus frog (Pseudacris regilla), western toad (Anayyrus boreal), wood frog (Lithobates sylvaticus) and long-toed salamander (Ambystoma macrodactylum) (MOE, n.d.). Reptiles with the potential to occur in the Thompson region include: The common garter snake (Thamnophis sirtalis), the northwestern garter snake (T. ordinoides), the western terrestrial wandering garter snake (T. elegans vagrans), northwestern alligator lizard (Elgaria coerulea principis), painted turtle (Chrysemys picta pop. 2) (Thompson Rivers University, n.d.). 1960s
J. O’Keefe observed a beaver (Castor canadensis) in the Bridge River Valley for the first time in 1965 at Mowson Pond. Redside shiners (Richardsonius balteatus) appeared for the first time in Lajoie Lake in the 1960s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Around 1965 J. O’Keefe observed radical changes in the lake. J. O’Keefe described a population explosion in redside shiners, which resulted in significant decline in the invertebrate population. The redside shiners were also infected with parasites described as white worms (Philonema sp.) 1 to 5 inches in length (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Northcote, 1957). L. Bett speculates the shiners were introduced by fishermen visiting the lake. Overall fishing quality decreased with the introduction of the shiners (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). This is likely due to the increased competition for food between the existing salmonid population and the introduced redside shiners. To date, no known scientific studies of fish health in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations in Lajoie Lake. 1970s
D. Hull first visited Lajoie Lake in the summer of 1970. In the1970s D. Hull observed the lake as very clear and the rainbow trout population of the lake was abundant and all fish seemed to be in good health, free of parasites or other disease (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In the 1970s rainbow trout spawning began in early June and continued for a few weeks thereafter. Spawning rainbow were observed in the lower reaches of Penrose Creek and Alder Brook and ranged in size from 8-10 inches (comm. D. Hull, 2017). Dolly Varden/bull trout were also observed, however not in great abundance (comm. D. Hull, 2017).

Between the 1970s and the 1980s Lajoie Lake became more turbid (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Over the same time period the toad and frog populations declined and have all but disappeared from Lajoie Lake (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Declining amphibian populations may be linked to global declines in amphibian populations for reasons not clearly understood at this time. To date, no known scientific studies of amphibians in or around Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify amphibian presence or absence or overall populations in Lajoie Lake. J. O’Keefe observed significant growth in aquatic vegetation in the lake in the late 1970s. Around the same time period the abundance of “junk fish” increased. These included redside shiners, bullheads (Ameiurus melas, Ameiurus nebulosus or Ictalurus natalis), and pea-mouth chub among others, possibly introduced by visiting fishermen (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe reported that he has not observed rainbow trout spawning in Penrose Creek since1979. Overall fishing quality decreased with the introduction of the shiners (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). To date, no known scientific studies of fish in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations or the presence or absence of invasive fish species in Lajoie Lake. D. Hull recalls the BC ministry in charge of fish and wildlife stocking the lake with kokanee, however he was uncertain if residents of Lajoie Lake were consulted prior to the commencement of the stocking program or how long the stocking program was carried out. Nonetheless, the kokanee preyed on the shiners and successfully lowered their numbers (comm. L. Bett, 2017). Rainbow trout are stocked annually in Lajoie Lake while kokanee are stocked in Gun Lake but migrate into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). Towards the end of the 1970s D. Hull observed dramatic changes in the characteristics of Lajoie Lake. D. Hull observed a rise in the beaver population which felled large numbers of aspen (Populus tremuloides), alder (Alnus sp.) and large cottonwood (Populus trichocarpa) trees. D. Hull reported that the beavers have built several lodges around the lake and the beavers continue to expand the size and number of the lodges. The upgrade to the road and the installation of the culverts exacerbated the beaver problem. It is the opinion of residents that the culverts are undersized and seated too high (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The beavers were continually trying to dam the culverts resulting in a further raising of lake water levels (comm. D. Hull, 2017). The O’Keefe family with assistance from other residents worked to keep the culverts clear following multiple failed efforts to enlist help from the Ministry of Transportation (comm. D. Hull, 2017). J. O’Keefe reported that volume of water flowing in Lajoie Lake from Penrose Creek and Alder Brook was comparable to the historic volumes according to Mr. C.M. Manning who followed the lake closely from the early 1930’s to his passing in 1987. However, the volume of water entering the lake has declined since the 1970s (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). L. Bett recalls a massive mountain pine beetle kill on Penrose Mountain and several incidents since then, however she is uncertain if these events had any effect on Lajoie Lake. Changes in the forest cover and composition within the drainage basins feeding Lajoie Lake will have an effect on inflow to the lake from its feeder creeks. With reduced forest cover, rainwater will have less buffering and peak flows will tend to increase. This results in higher and lower flows. 1980s
Jim O’Keefe observed an increase in milfoil (Myriophyllum sp.) in Lajoie Lake throughout the 1980s. In 1981 N. Gladstone cleared away milfoil that was growing close to his dock to create a swimming area. The milfoil was cleared by dragging a heavy chain along the lake bottom then picking up the floating weeds by hand (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017).

To date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify that the species observed by J. O’Keefe and Mr. Galdstone is, in fact, milfoil. N. Gladstone observed moose (Alces alces) at the lake in the 1980s but has not seen any at the lake in a number of years. He noted the same for muskrat (Ondatra zibethicus). N. Gladstone has however observed an increase in shellfish in the lake (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017). N. Gladstone also reported observing a significant number of shiners and bullheads in the lake in the 1980s. Jim O’Keefe reported that kokanee were introduced into Lajoie Lake in 1980. Jim O’Keefe noted that in the Dolly Varden/bull trout used to freely pass between Lajoie Lake and Gun Lake. However, when the road was upgraded and the creek was culverted and various screen and weirs were installed at the inlet and outlet of the culvert, Dolly Varden/bull trout stopped passing between the two lakes (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe observed Dolly Varden/bull trout with their snouts up against the exit screen in Gun Lake. D. Hull also reported that by the mid 1980s rainbow trout fishing dramatically declined. D. Hull also observed a surge in the beaver population. The beaver’s impacted the water level in Lajoie Lake through continual daming of the culverts (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In addition, the inflow of water from Penrose Creek and Alder Brook declined throughout the 1980s. D. Hull observed that by the early 1990s the average discharge from the two creeks was roughly half of what it had been in the 1970s. D. Hull speculates that this is the result of the decline in snowfall and the snowpack on the surrounding mountains. 1990s
D. Hull reported observing a higher than average snowfall over the winter of 1992-1993 followed by above warm period in early spring of 1993 which may have resulted in the washout on Penrose Creek. The culvert that was in place at the crossing of Penrose Creek and “Dale’s Road” became blocked and a new channel was carved out by the creek that flowed down Dale’s Road toward Gun Lake (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In 1993 D. Hull petitioned the BC Forest Service (BCFS) for help regarding the alignment of the creek and to fix the road. In 1994 the BCFS redirected the creek into its original channel and installed two large culverts at the crossing (comm. D. Hull and J. O’Keefe, 2017) (Map 2).
However, the washout increased the permeability of the rocky alluvial bed by clearing out the natural sealing features of fine silt and lava ash allowing water from the creek to seep underground. D. Hull contends that there is other evidence of changes to the biophysical environment resulting from the washout. The upper reaches of the Hull-Manning meadows that border Penrose Creek have become very swampy with a proliferation of weeds and scrub growth favoured under wetter conditions (comm. D. Hull, 2017). In 1995 N. Gladstone cleared “milfoil” in an expanded area. N. Gladstone observed little reoccurrence of milfoil from the original cleared area, however he did note that “milfoil” had spread further out into the lake from the cleared areas (comm. N. Gladstone, 2017). Jim O’Keefe reported that invasive crayfish were introduced into Lajoie Lake around 1995. Within two years the crayfish had colonized the entire lake (comm. D. Reed, 2017). Signal crayfish (Pacifastacus leniusculus) is native to the northwestern USA and southwestern Canada. It is known to occur in southern parts of BC including Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, east to the Kootenays, and as far north as Okanagan Lake (UBC, n.d.). It is found in small streams, rivers and lakes, including subalpine lakes and can actively move up and down rivers as well as overland, which aids dispersal (UBC, n.d.). The species could be rusty crayfish (Orconectes rusticus), which is invasive, but this is unlikely. Some residents report that rotenone (a odorless, colorless, crystalline pnant based compond used as a broad-spectrum insecticide, piscicide, and pesticide) was proposed for use in the lake to kill invasive species of fish in the 1990s (comm. J. O’Keefe, J. Hull and L. Bett, 2017). There is one record of a lake

rehabilitation proposal for the use of rotenone in 1983 – Proposal Ref# - K0710 (MOE, n.d.). The residents confirm that the proposal was not carried out. 2000s
N. Gladstone reported that by the 2000s the redside shiner population had decreased and the bullheads are no longer present. Large numbers of kokanee were observed spawning in Lajoie Lake in the late 1980’s to approximately 2005, however, spawning kokanee have not been in observed in Lajoie Lake since (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). The riparian zone around the lake has often been flooded (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). On three occasions 2007, 2008 and 2016-17 the lake was flooded 5 inches, 7 inches and once up to the top of the old culvert (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). J. O’Keefe reports that the beavers have undercut the banks around the lake and in some places created sinkholes. The riparian zone has been colonized by Douglas water hemlock (Cicuta douglasii) and in some areas of the lake is out competing other riparian vegetation (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). Douglas water hemlock is found naturally occurring on wet stream edges, ditches and marshes in the lowland, steppe and montane zones. It is common throughout BC except the Queen Charlotte Islands (UBC, n.d.). 2010s
A pronounced decline in the population of frogs, toads, birds, bats and various invertebrate species including leeches (Glossiphoniidae, Erpobdellidae, Piscicolidae), water boatmen (Cenocorixa andersoni), backswimmers (Notonectidae) as well as tadpoles and many other species was observed (comm. L. Bett and J. O’Keefe, 2017). Western toads have been absent from the lake for the past five years, however great blue herons (Ardea herodias) returned to the lake in 2015 after a four or five-year absence (comm. D. Reed, 2017). Fish health appears to have decreased (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). In 2016 L. Bett reported catching a deformed rainbow trout. L. Bett also reported an increase in the number of shiners in the lake over the last two to three years. She has contacted the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Resource Operations regarding restocking the lake with kokanne but has not received a response. In 2015 D. Reed reported observing crayfish enter the culvert and travel upstream towards Lajoie Lake. He speculates this is due to the new connection between the streambed and the lake. Between 2015 and 2016 Mr. Reed observed seven river otters (Lontra canadensis) in the lake which preyed on the crayfish and decreased their number in the lake. This comment about the newly established streambed connection through the culvert is interesting because it implies that there may be a hydrolic step that could have precluded fish passage. However, the gradient and length of the culvert may also adversely affect fish passage. Aquatic vegetation growth has increased. Between July and August of 2015 D. Hull reported that aquatic vegetation mats detached from the lake bottom and floated to the surface as tight and odorous balls of weeds. The “weed balls” persisted in 2016. In 2016 the Douglas water hemlock appeared in large numbers along the edge of the lake. Residents were not aware of the presence of this toxic plant around Lajoie Lake prior to 2016 (comm. D. Hull, 2017). Water clarity has also decreased (comm. J. O’Keefe, 2017). In 2016 Lois Brett reported a marked and sustained difference in water clarity and colour between the lake water at the Penrose Creek outflow and the lake around the Hayward property (Map 2). A marked decrease of public and resident use of Lajoie Lake has been noted. There are only four families that currently own and occupy residences on the lake. The O’Keefe family uses their cabin for an annual two week (on average 10-15 night) stay. The Manning House has been used very rarely in the past 30 years, and when occupied is only occupied by one person. The Hull Cabin was used on average

for a month from 1980 to 2006, and is now used approximately four months a year by two people and the caretakers cabin on the property is used approximately five weeks a year in total (comm. J. Hull, 2017). The Reed Cabin is used very rarely for approximately two weeks a year (comm. J. Hull, 2017). Public use of Lajoie Lake is very limited in the summer but increases in the winter months with ‘Winterfest’ and various winter activities include skating, ice fishing, walking/snowshoeing and snowmobiling on and around the lake. In 2016 D. Hull and Don Sturgess hiked Penrose Mountain and observed dry channels which they speculate have become dry due to reduced snowfall and snow pack over the last two decades (comm. D. Hull, 2017). L. Bett reported that in the spring of 2017 a slide occurred on Penrose Mountain above the dam. The slide introduced turbid water into Lajoie Lake that produced a plume that spread approximately 75-100 feet into the lake (comm. L. Bett, 2017).
2.1 Anecdotal Summary
The first residence of record located on the banks of Lajoie Lake was established in 1912, with most cabins being built between the 1930s and 1950s. The twenty-year time period between 1930 and 1950 experienced a peak of activity from both residents and visitors alike. A local resident reported that mine tailings were dumped in Lajoie Lake by the first homesteader, and mine claims were established on the lake in the 1930s, including the Bralorne Mine claim. The first inventory of native species and vegetation was informally collected in this time period and included observations of Dolly Varden/bull trout, rainbow trout, snails, leeches, caddis fly cases, dragonfly nymphs, damselfly nymphs, muskrat, moose, osprey, loons, swallows, toads, frogs and snakes. Native aquatic vegetation of importance included a “dark green weed” and a “mustard yellow weed”. The North American beaver was first observed in the 1960s on Lajoie Lake. By their nature, beavers are ecosystem engineers, as such can be an dictator of a healthy and vibrant ecosystem. However, they can also be ecosystem modifiers. Redside shiners were introduced to the lake in the 1960s as well. The explosion of the redside shiner population may have had a negative impact on the lake’s invertebrate population, and introduced parasites into the lake’s fragile ecosystem. As a result of the introduced redside shiner species the overall sport fishing quality offered by the lake was negatively impacted. An observed significant change was noted in the appearance and water quality of Lake Lajoie that began in the 1970s. Along with the decline in water quality and reduced water clarity was a reported change in flow rate of the water and a change in the levels of the lake. These changes have been attributed to a combination of the installation of the culvert for the new road as well as the increase in beaver population that were responsible for repeatedly damning the culvert. Invasive species including redside shiners, bullheads and chub were introduced to the lake in the 1970s, and the local frog population experienced a steady decline. Kokanee were confirmed to have been stocked in Gun Lake and were observed migrating into Lajoie Lake. The kokanee preyed on and successfully lowered the invasive redside shiner population. The BC Fish Information Summary System verifies all fish, except for bullhead, reported by the residents of Lajoie Lake. Records of the rainbow trout stocking program are also publicly available. Public records of kokanee stocking in Gun Lake are also available. However, it is unknown if any scientific surveys have been conducted to assess fish health in Lajoie Lake. To date no known scientific studies of amphibians or other wildlife that occupy Lajoie Lake or the surrounding area have been conducted. Therefore, resident accounts are the most compressive list of faunal habitation for Lajoie Lake. The access road and under-road culvert to the lake was re-developed in the 1980s, resulting in a permanent fish barrier to the lake, and Dolly Varden/bull trout were no longer able to access to lake. Increased beaver activity on the lake through damming culverts impacted lake levels in the 1980s and a

bloom of aquatic vegetation occurred most likely due to increased temperatures in the lake. To date no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Lajoie Lake area experienced a higher than average snowfall in the winter of 1992 and 1993. An early spring melt in 1993 resulted in a washout that blocked the existing culvert on Penrose Creek and Dale’s Road. Remediation work was completed by the BC Forest Service in 1994, and Penrose Creek was redirected back to its original alignment before the washout, and two large culverts were also installed. However, the residents reported that due to the re-alignment of Penrose Creek, the alluvial bed became more permeable and appeared to allow Penrose Creek to flow ground before surfacing in the lowere Hull- Manning meadows. The residents believe that this change caused surface water retention thereby creating swam like conditions which encouraged the growth of plants that favoured wetter, nutrient-rich conditions. Crayfish were reported to have been introduced into the lake in 1994. Signal crayfish are native southwestern Canada including Vancouver Island, the Lower Mainland, east to the Kootenays, and as far north as Okanagan Lake. They are known to actively move up and down rivers as well as overland, which aids dispersal. Both redside shiner and Dolly Varden/bull trout populations were reported to have decreased significantly by the year 2000, however kokanee were reported to have been observed spawning in the lake from 1980 up until 2005. The existing riparian area of the lake was flooded in the years of 2007, 2008 and in 2016/2017, and Douglas water hemlock in now present. Although toxic, Douglas water hemlock is naturally occurring on wet stream edges, ditches and marshes in the lowland, steppe and montane zones throughout BC except the Queen Charlotte Islands. Flooding of the riparian area can be attributed to high beaver dam activity on the lake. In recent years, from 2010 to present day, the residents reported a notable decline in amphibians, birds, native mammals and invertebrates reported by local residents and visitors. While there has been a decline in animal species populations in the lake there has been an increase in aquatic vegetation growth, specifically the introduction of water hemlock in the riparian area of the lake. An overall decline in native fish health and population has been noted, resulting in an increase in population of redside shiners due to lack of natural predation. It has been reported that the introduced crayfish are still present in the lake at this time.

3 Study Collation of Lajoie Lake Data
The Bridge River Region – A Geographical Study, 1949 Precipitation records for Little Gun Lake (Lajoie Lake) were collected and summarized for the period of 1925 to 1931. Lake Survey Data - 1969 A limnology survey of Lajoie Lake was conducted on May 15, 1969. The data collected on the lake included physical data of the lake, geography of the surrounding area, drainage pattern of the lake, human access and usage. Preliminary Overview of water Quality in Gun and Jajoie Lake, 1991 In 1991 a report was published by R.G. Grace of the BC Ministry of the Environment. The report provided a preliminary overview of both Lajoie Lake and Gun Lake. Surface and bottom water samples were collected and analyzed for basic water chemistry, general ions, bacteria, nutrients, phytoplankton and bottom sediments. Samples were collected on August 14 1990 and the results of the data collected indicated that at the time Lakjoie Lake was mesotrophic to eutrophic. In other words moderately productive with medium nutrient level, clear water and submerged aquatic vegetation to highly productive with high nutrient levels, low dissolved oxygen and abundant aquatic vegetation. The report concluded that since Lajoie Lake is a relatively shallow lake wind action and boating activities contribute to re-suspension of bottom sediments which makes nutrients available for algal growth. It was also concluded that the internal loading from anaerobic bottom sediments of Lajoie Lake was the major contributor of nutrients in the water column. This was indicated by low oxygen levels, high nutrient concentrations, negative redox in the lower layer (hypolimnion) and black, anoxic, sulphur smelling, bottom sediment. Results from the 1990 study indicated that the dissolved oxygen was similar until the thermocline was reached, where after a slight increase occurred there was a significant decrease of dissolved oxygen that measured well below 5 mg/l. Redox increased until the thermocline in Lajoie lake, where it then dropped significantly to well below zero (Grace, 1991). Conductivity decreased steadily with depth, and it was noted that conductivity was greater than that observed in Gun Lake. The pH observed in Lajoie Lake decreased steadily with depth from a measured pH of 9.2 near the surface to a pH of 8.2 at the bottom of the lake (Grace, 1991). Gun Lake Level 2 Watershed Assessment, 1995 Lajoie Lake is fed by six streams including two perennial streams, Penrose Creek and Alder Brook (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995). Penrose Creek is a fourth-order stream which drains a harvested forest on the northwest slope of Mt. Penrose (Grace, 1991). The creek flows through a V-shaped, steeply-sloping valley and a dendritic drainage pattern (Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (Canada) Inc., 1995). Air photos from 1964 and 1993 were examined for signs of slope stability on Mount Penrose. No natural or harvesting related slides were visible on the air photos over the 30-year time period. The Importance of Lajoie Lake and its Watershed, 2008 The BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment have developed The BC Lake Stewardship and Monitoring Program. The program is designed to determine current lake water quality, identify preferred lake uses and monitor water quality for changes through regular water sampling (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The monitoring program includes five different levels of lake monitoring and assessment: • Level 1 - Weekly surface temperature and Secchi readings

• Level 2 - Spring overturn water chemistry and Dissolved Oxygen and Temperature profile, plus Level 1 • Level 3 - Spring overturn water chemistry, bi-weekly water chemistry and biological sampling, plus Level 1 • Level 4 - Watershed Study, plus Level 3 • Level 5 - Full Watershed Assessment, plus Level 3, as well as stream monitoring for water chemistry and assessment of riparian areas In 2008 the BCLSS published the results of a three-year (2005-2007) Level 1 monitoring program for Lajoie Lake. Lake residents reported that Lajoie Lake freezes annually; therefore, water quality measurements and samples were collected between May and November. The BCLSS recorded various measurements to determine the productivity level of the lake which can be described as the lake’s trophic status. Temperature and dissolved oxygen profiles of the lake were recorded to determine changes in seasonal oxygen, phosphorus and algal conditions (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). Secchi disc measurements were recorded to determine water clarity in the lake which is influenced by algal growth. Phosphorus is the nutrient that is a limiting factor in algae production (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The BCLSS also examined the flushing rate of the lake which is the rate of water replacement. The flushing rate dictates the rate at which excess nutrients can be removed from the lake. Relative to its volume the BCLSS estimated Lajoie Lake to have a low flushing rate. The slow water intake and outlet of water in Lajoie Lake potentially allows for the natural and anthropogenic sources of nutrients to accumulate in the lake. The Ministry of the Environment (MOE) identified land use activities within the Lajoie Lake watershed and determined that the area immediately surrounding the lake would have the greatest impact on the lake’s water quality. MOE identified logging activity in the area, however a detailed study was not carried out to measure the impact of land use on the lake. The conclusion of the Level 1 monitoring program carried out on Lajoie Lake between 2005 and 2007 was that the lake was in an oligotrophic state. Lake nutrient levels were low, algal growth levels were also low, but dissolved oxygen levels were high. In addition to the studies summarised above Cascade conducted a search of the BC Fish Inventories Data Queries (FIDQ) database.

4 Limnology and Biophysical Data Collection Analysis
Cascade conducted a search of publicly available limnology and biophysical studies of Lajoie Lake. Studies of the lake are limited with most studies occurring between 1990 and 2016 (Table 1). Few reports were publicly available. Cascade found references for reports and data from surveys carried out by the province of British Columbia and the Freshwater Fisheries Society of BC. The Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) also provided data from surveys carried out by the province. Table 1: Limnology and Biophysical Data Collection from Lajoie Lake

4.1.1 Climate - Bridge River Region Thesis (1949)
Lajoie Lake is located within the Bridge River Region which is located within the Coast Range, specifically on the eastern edge of this range. This position is climatically characterized by being located between the Pacific coast and the interior of B.C. Moderately cold winters and warm summers characterize this region, and the precipitation that occurs in the winter is on average less than 35 inches for locales below 4,000 feet (Wood, 1949). Precipitation records for Little Gun Lake (Lajoie Lake) were collected and summarized for the period of 1925 to 1931(Wood, 1949). Average annual precipitation was 19.48 inches (494.79 mm) with a low of 0.46 inches (11.68 mm) in May and 0.48 inches (12.19 mm) in June and a high of 4.04 inches (102.62 mm) in December. Snow fall averaged 73.4 inches (186.44 cm) between 1925 and 1931 (Wood, 1949). Daily weather in the Bridge River Region is largely influenced by the interaction between polar-maritime and subtropical-maritime air masses that originate over the Pacific Ocean and a pattern of dry summers and wet winters is the result (Wood, 1949). 4.1.2 Limnology Data Biological, chemical and physical features of Lajoie Lake have been collected by a variety of sources over the years, in order to form a general collection of limnology data to further characterize the lake. Basic sampling measurements were carried out on Lajoie Lake in 1969, 1990, 2005-2007, 2011 and 2016.

Measurement included Secchi disc measurements, temperature profiles and dissolved oxygen profiles. Secchi disc depth is a measure of turbidity resulting from organic and inorganic sources. Secchi disc depths can also be used as a proxy for phytoplankton population density. Due to the light scattering properties of phytoplankton, Secchi disc depth varies inversely with algal population densities. The Secchi depth dish depth in Lajoie Lake has varied between 2.20 m and 8.03 between May and November (Table 2). Secchi depth was regularly measured in 2006 and 2007 from May to September but only once in 1969, 2005 and 2016. In 2011 secchi disc depth was measured in May and October (Table 2). Water use for recreation should be sufficiently clear that a Secchi disc is visible at a minimum depth of 1.2 m (Health Canada, 2012). Lakes that have a depth disc of less than 1.2 m are likely euthrophic, or nutrient rich. Euthropic lakes are very fertile and promote the growth of algae and other aquatic organisms and vegetation. The high biomass can lead to high decomposition and oxygen depletion. Secchi disc depth measurements in Lajoie were all greater than 1.2 m. The Secchi disc depth measurements taken in Lajoie Lake do not indicate that the lake is in a eutrophic state. Table 2: Average Secchi Disc Depth between May and November May June July August September October November 1969 5.79 2005 4.00 2006 3.40 7.07 6.05 4.43 5.20 6.60 5.20 2007 5.60 6.70 5.90 8.03 7.65 6.70 5.10 2011 2.20 5.90 2016 6.25
Temperature profiles of Lajoie Lake were carried out in 1969, 1990, 2005-2007 and 2011. Dissolved oxygen profiles were also carried out over the same time period except 1969. Lake temperature readings recorded between 2006 and 2007 were measured to compare season to season and year to year changes. Between 2006 and 2007 the minimum recorded surface temperature was 5.5 oC on November 1, 2005, 7.2 oC on November 5, 2006 and 7 oC on November 6, 2007. The maximum recorded surface temperature was 19 oC on August 10, 2005, 19.3 oC on July 5, 2006 and 18.8 oC on July 11, 2007 (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008). The Lajoie Lake Residents Association (LLRA) obtained the 2006 and 2007 raw data that was listed in the 2008 BC Lake Stewardship Society report. The 2005 data was not provided. Cascade compared the May, August and October 2006 and 2007 temperature profile data to the temperature profile for in May 1969, August 2005 and in May and October of 2011 (Appendix 1 to Appendix 3). The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in May was 13.3 oC and ranged from a low of 8.0 oC on May 2, 2006 to a high of 14.0 oC on May 30, 2006. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in August was 19.4 oC and ranged from a low of 17.2 oC on August 31, 2007 to a high of 21.4 oC on August 4, 1990. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in October was 10.4 oC and ranged from a low of 9.1 oC on October 25, 2007 to a high of 12.0 oC on October 11, 2006. Bottom temperatures stayed fairly constant across all recorded month and years, averaging 4.6 oC in May, 4.6 oC in August and 4.9 oC in October (Appendix 1 to Appendix 3). Cascade also compared the May, August and October 2006 and 2007 dissolved oxygen (DO) profile data to the DO profile for in August 2005 and in May and October of 2011 (Appendix 4 to Appendix 6). The average surface DO of Lajoie Lake in May was 12.5 mg/L and ranged from a low of 9.0 mg/L on May 30, 2006 to a high of 12.9 mg/L on May 2, 2006 and May 29. 2007. The average surface DO of Lajoie Lake in August was 8.7 mg/L and ranged from a low of 7.0 mg/L on August 1, 2006 to a high of 9.38 mg/L on August 31, 2005. The average surface temperature of Lajoie Lake in October was 9.6 mg/L and ranged from a low of 7.8 mg/L on October 10, 2007 to a high of 12.1 mg/L on October 18, 2011. DO at the bottom of the lake was very low across all recorded month and years, averaging 0.1 mg/L in May, 0.6 mg/L in August and 1.5 mg/L in October (Appendix 4 to Appendix 6).

4.1.2.1 Nutrients
In the 1991 report nutrient concentrations in Lajoie Lake were high, especially in comparison with Gun Lake, and most notably near the bottom of the lake. As measurements were taken during August, this is to be expected as nutrients that are displaced from the surface make their way down to deeper waters releasing nutrients as they decompose at a deeper depth (Grace, 1991). At the surface of the lake, the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) was approximately 18.5:1, highlighting the fact that the lake is phosphorus limited. Water samples that were taken near the bottom of the lake measured a N:P of 5:1, indicating that the deeper water is essentially nitrogen limited. However, since the volume of surface water is greater than the deep water portion of the lake, there would most likely be a strong phosphorus limited N:P ratio that occurs at the spring turnover timing of the lake (Grace, 1991). This conclusion is supported by the observed high nitrogen concentration that was measured in the surface water in August. Since the 1991 report, various nutrient levels have been measured in Lajoie Lake. Nutrient levels were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 (Appendix 7). Across this time period the nitrogen to phosphorus ratio (N:P) remained high even in the May after the spring lake turnover. The extent of eutrophication of a lake is based on concentrations of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a. Chlorophyll a roughly indicates the concentration of plant biomass (UNEP, n.d.). Table 3 compares the United Nations Environmental Protection (UNEP) standards for eutrophication to measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. Chlorophyll a was measured once in Lajoie Lake on May 23, 1991. Measurements of Total Phosphorus, Total Nitrogen and Chlorophyll a were taken on May 23, 1991. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) and Chlorophyll a (3.4 ug/L) indicate that Lajoie was mesotrophic, however Total Nitorgen (120 ug/L) indicate the lake was oligotrophic (Table 3). In 2011 measurements of total phosphorus and total nitrogen from Lajoie Lake increased. Total Nitrogen measurements from 2011 (250 and 320 ug/L) indicate that despite increasing the lake was still oligotophic while the Total Phosphorus measurements (40 and 50 ug/L) suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic (Table 3). Measurements of Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) indicate that Lajoie was mesotrophic while Total Nitorgen (190 ug/L) indicate the lake was oligotrophic (Table 3). Table 3: Classification of Lakes by Eutrofication Extent Compared with Lajoie Lake (UNEP, n.d.)

Trigger ranges for Total Phosphorus, displayed in Table 4, have been developed under the Canadian Guidance Framework for the Management of Freshwater Systems. The Canadian Water Quality for the Protection of Aquatic Life set Total Phosphorus trigger ranges based on the range of phosphorus concentrations in water that define the reference trophic status for a site. (Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, 2004).

The trigger ranges for Total Phosphorus in freshwater systems are displayed in Table 5 and compared to the Total Phosphorus measurements collected from Lajoie Lake in May 1991, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016. Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) measurements taken on May 23, 1991 indicate that Lajoie was bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). In 2011 measurements of total phosphorus from Lajoie Lake increased. The Total Phosphorus measurements (40 and 50 ug/L) suggested the lake was becoming more eutrophic (Table 5). Total Phosphorus (10.0 ug/L) taken on September 6, 2016 decreased from measurements taken in 2011 indicating that Lajoie was once again bordering between oligotrophic and mesotrophic (Table 5). The data available and the analysis carried out on that data in this study does not permit a conclusion as to the extent of eutrophication of Lajoie Lake.

4.1.2.2 Metals
Bottom sediments were also sampled in August of 1990, and were typical of eutrophic lakes, with sediment samples observed to be black and smelling of hydrogen sulphide (Grace, 1991). Sediment samples taken revealed that there were high concentrations of iron and sulphides. The sulphides will bind with the iron, allowing the phosphorus to precipitate into the sediments to dissolve back into the water column. This explains the lower concentration of phosphorus in the lake’s bottom sediments and the higher concentration of phosphorus in the lower water column samples. In comparison with Gun Lake that was also sampled at the same time, Lajoie Lake had higher concentrations of metals in the sediment samples, including iron, aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, magnesium, manganese, mercury, nickel and vanadium (Grace, 1991). Since the 1991 report various metal concentrations in Lajoie Lake were recorded in May 1991, September 2002, May 2011, October 2011 and September 2016 (Appendix 8). The levels of aluminum, arsenic, chromium, copper, nickel, and vanadium have decreased since 1991. The level of manganese in the lake is similar to what was

recorded in 1999. Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake.
4.1.2.3 Fish
In addition to anecdotal fish observations described in section 2, a search of the BC Fish Inventories Data Queries (FIDQ) database was carried out to find records of fish observations and stocking programs carried out in Lajoie Lake. Fish species identified in Lajoie Lake include rainbow trout, kokanee, redside shiner, peamouth chub, prickly sculpin, Dolly Varden/bull trout and cutthroat trout (Appendix 9). The lake has been stocked with rainbow trout in 1970, 1982, and 1987 to 2017 (Appendix 10). Kokanee have been stocked downstream in Gun Lake, and have been observed to have made their way upstream into Lajoie Lake (BC Lake Stewardship Society, 2008).
4.1.2.4 Invertebrate and Microfauna Communities
Phytoplankton were measured in Lajoie Lake in August, 1991, and exhibited phytoplankton numbers of 2720 cells/ml. The number of phytoplankton/ml classify indicates the lake falls within the mesotrophic range of 1000 to 5000 cells/ml (Nordin, 1986). Phytoplankton found in Lajoie Lake were common species and included; Cyclotella comta and Asterionella Formosa which prefer alkaline waters as well as Ankistrodesmus falcatus, A. Formosa, C. comta, Oocystis spp., Sphaerocystis schroeteri and Tetraedron minimum, which prefer waters high in nutrients (Grace, 1991). The 1991 study is the only publicly available study of the microfaunal community of Lajoie Lake.
4.1.2.5 Aquatic vegetation
No scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. This should be a priority item for future study since the species composition will provide additional clues regarding the health of the lake.
4.1.2.6 Sediment Accumulation
No scientific studies of sediment accumulation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake to date. Sediment analysis could provide historic information on the changes to the lake.

5 Conclusions
For more than 30 years the residents of Lajoie Lake, with contributions from interested individuals, have documented changes to the lake leading to speculation that it may be eutriphfying. Despite the anecdotal evidence of declining lake health, the residents have received little government assistance to monitor and evaluate the lake. The analysis presented in this report is based on all existing publically available limnological and biophysical data collected from Lajoie Lake. But for the monitoring study carried out by the BC Lake Stewardship Society (BCLSS) in conjunction with the Ministry of Environment, limnological data collection from Lajoie Lake has lacked a methodical approach. Due to the inconsistencies in the parameters that were sampled and inconsistent data collection times, statistical analysis of the data was not possible. As such it is not possible to use the data to form an understanding of the forces impacting the lake or to adequately determine if the lake is eutriphfying. This report highlights the need for a long- term monitoring study with carefully identified parameters as well as a schedule for data collection that can be used to assess the health of the lake and to detect changes over time. This report details the anecdotal evidence collected by the residents of Lajoie Lake since the 1930s as well as a summary and analysis of all publically available limnological and biophysical data collected from the data from various sources. Based on the information reviewed, the following conclusions were made: i. Residents of Lajoie Lake have observed the presence of aquatic vegetation in the lake since the 1940s and have documented increased growth and spread into the lake from the shoreline over the past 30 years. However, to date, no scientific studies of aquatic vegetation have been conducted on Lajoie Lake. Therefore, it is not possible to verify species or determine if species present are naturally occurring or invasive. In addition the rate of vegetation growth, decomposition and resulting sediment accumulation and change in lake depth is unknown. ii. Fish have been observed in the lake and documented by the residents of Lajoie Lake since the lake was first occupied in 1912. Records of these fish observations are present in the provincial government Fisheries Information Summary System. These records include introduced/non-native fish such as redside shiners and pea-mouth chub. Following the introduction of these fish to Lajoie Lake the residents reported a decrease in lake’s natural invertebrate population, increase in parasites and decrease in overall sport fishing quality. However, no known scientific studies of fish health in Lajoie Lake have been conducted. Therefore, it is not possible to verify overall health of fish populations in Lajoie Lake. iii. Residents reported that Dolly Varden/bull trout have stopped passing between the two lakes. In 2015 D. Reed reported observing a new connection between the streambed and the lake. This implies that there may be a hydrolic step that may prevent fish passage. In addition the gradient and length of the culvert may also adversely affect fish passage. However no studies have been conducted to determine if the upgrades to Gun Lake Road which include the installation of various screen and weirs have created a barrier to fish passage. iv. Basic water chemistry, nutrients and metals have been irregularly sampled since 1969. The results of these sampling efforts do not reflect the changes in reported to by the residents who speculate that the lake is becoming eutrophic. • The conclusion of the Level 1 monitoring program carried out on Lajoie Lake between 2005 and 2007 was that the lake was in an oligotrophic state. • Lakes that have a depth disc of less than 1.2 m are likely euthrophic, or nutrient rich. Secchi disc depth measurements in Lajoie were all greater than 1.2 m which suggests that Lajoie Lake is not eutrophic. • Metals were sampled between 1991 and 2016. The levels of most metals have either decreased Magnesium has increased by less than 2 mg/L since 1991 but still well below the recommended daily intake (Health Canada, 1997). The higher concentrations may be related to lower flushing rates and higher temperatures in Lajoie Lake.

6 Recommendations
To determine if Lajoie Lake is becoming more eutrophic as suggested by the changes observed and documented by the residents, Cascade recommends the following: i. A freedom of information request should be made by the LLRA to obtain all exisiting studies or data related to Lajoie Lake ii. Residents should seek expert advice and assistance to conduct a baseline biological research project of the Lake and its circumstances. Such a study would provide a scientific background against which tests of challenging hypotheses regarding the state of affairs with the Lake could be tested. iii. A paleolimnology assessment of the lake should be carried out where cores of bottom sediments are analysed to scientifically document the historical natural and anthropogenic changes the lake has experienced iv. Once the baseline study is complete a long-term monitoring study should be carried on the lake to detect changes to fish population and health, nutrient levels, aquatic vegetation growth rates and sediment accumulation. v. A biological, systematic research project of Lajoie Lake should be undertaken under expert advice and supervision to gather data over time in a consistent manner to permit conclusive analysis to ultimately direct remedial action. The project should include a study of fish and other aquatic life forms, vegetation, etc.

Hi Sarah, further to our discussion at the meeting on Sunday I am putting in a formal request to the SLRD to purchase a metal garbage bin for the SVVFD / EMS. Approximate cost $800 plus tax and shipping. The container should be bear proof and able to hold a weeks worth of garbage. Respectfully J Goes Treasure SVVFD / Society Page 99 of 99
