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.

    Cowichan River Chinook Salmon Incubation Assessment, 2005–2006 Prepared For Pacific Salmon Commission 600 - 1155 Robson Street Vancouver, BC V6E 1B5 (604) 684-8081 July 14, 2006 By D.W. Burt1 and E. Ellis2 2 1 D. Burt and Associates Kerr Wood Leidal Associates Ltd. 2245 Ashlee Road 200 – 4185A Still Creek Drive Nanaimo, BC, V9R 6T5 Burnaby, BC, V5C 6G9 (250) 753-0027 (604) 294-2088 [email protected] [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This purpose of this study was to determine whether upstream sediment sources are adversely affecting egg-to-fry survival of Cowichan River chinook salmon. 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).

Founded in 1670, the HBC was given exclusive rights to trade in Northern North America. Over the next century and a half, the Company expanded from its Hudson Bay beginnings, pushing west to the Pacific Ocean and including the coast from what is now British Columbia as far south as Northern California. However, in 1843, as a result of a dispute with the Americans, the HBC moved its main southwestern headquarters from Fort Vancouver on the Columbia River to Fort Victoria on Vancouver Island. In 1849 Vancouver Island became a colony of Great Britain and remained a separate colony until joined with British Columbia, on the mainland, to form one colony in 1866.

    Annotated Bibliography Cowichan River System Literature Related to Factors Affecting the Production ofCowichan River Chinook, Coho, and Chum Salmon April 2002 By Coastline Environmental Services 3453 Falcon Drive, Nanaimo BC V9T4G7, Home: (250) 756-2287 Cell: (250) 729-6238 Email: [email protected] For Oceans and Community Stewardship 4166B Departure Bay Road, Nanaimo, B.C V9T 4B7. and Cowichan Tribes 5760 Allenby Road Duncan, B.C V9L 5Jl INTRODUCTION Concerns have been identified regarding the Cowichan River system and possible factors affecting the production of chinook, coho and chum salmon. Despite stringent management strategies Cowichan River salmon stocks continue to remain below optimal production levels for the river system. This annotated bibliography was created in conjunction with a compilation of the reports cited, creating a specialized literature resource. The majority ofreports included have been copied from originals, bound and organized in alphabetical order by author. There are two complete sets available; one set will be kept at oceans and community stewardship office in Nanaimo and the other at DFO district office in Duncan. Each report has been annotated in this bibliography including; full citation, abstract source and abstract. Abstracts were derived from a variety of sources, including, original reports, an annotated bibliography created by Kristen Daniels, and myself. These resources were created to aid in a preliminary assessment into why Cowichan River salmon populations have failed to recover despite management efforts. The hope was that available literature would provide clues as to possible limiting factors for influencing recovery of chinook, chum and coho populations in the Cowichan River system. The literature included was gathered from various libraries, biologists, scientists and government organizations.
