    The EVOLUTION OF WILDLIFE EXCLUSION SYSTEMS ON HIGhwAYS IN BRITISH COLUMBIA Leonard E. Sielecki (250-356-2255, [email protected]), British Columbia Ministry of Transportation, P.O. Box 9850, STN PROV GOVT, 4B - 940 Blanshard Street, Victoria, BC V8W 9T5, Fax: 250-387-7735 Canada Abstract: Since the mid-1980’s, the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation (BCMoT) has been addressing the issue of motor vehicle-related wildlife collisions on Provincial highways with engineered wildlife exclusion systems. As a result of this initiative, the British Columbia has one of the most extensive networks of wildlife exclusion systems, designed to reduce and prevent motor-vehicle-related mortality of terrestrial mammals, in North America. Typically, wildlife exclusion systems are incorporated as an integral part of new highway development after the potential of wildlife mortality has been identified during highway planning stages. The systems are designed to protect wildlife from motor vehicles and ensure wildlife habitat connectivity. They have been constructed primarily on limited- access, high-speed highways and expressways and designed to protect specific species of wildlife, primarily large ungulates, such as deer, elk, moose and mountain sheep. The systems comprise of specialized fencing and related structures, such as one-way gates, ungulate guards, and crossing structures, designed to safely and effectively protect wildlife by recognizing species-specific behavioral, physical and anatomical characteristics. To date, BCMoT has installed over 470 km of wildlife fencing, incorporating over 100 crossing structures and hundreds of one-way gates. While the wildlife exclusion systems have been shown to reduce the potential for motor vehicle-related wildlife mortal- ity, BCMoT is continually reviewing the designs of the components of these systems in an ongoing effort to improve them.

  • Regional District of Comox- Strathcona Aquifer Classification Project Report
    Regional District of Comox- Strathcona Aquifer Classification Project Report Report by Gordon J. Humphrey Prepared for the Regional District of Comox-Strathcona August 2000 Executive Summary The Regional District of Comox-Strathcona and the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks, Groundwater Section embarked upon a partnership in April 2000 to identify, map and classify the developed aquifers in the regional district’s electoral areas A, B, C and D. Aquifers were classified using the B.C. Aquifer Classification System. The objective of the project was to establish an aquifer inventory with which the Regional District could then develop management options to protect their groundwater resources Fifteen aquifers were classified based on their level of development and their susceptibility to surface contamination. The results indicated that the study area has several highly vulnerable aquifers. These aquifers are generally comprised of recently deposited sand and gravel, and are highly productive – capable of supplying water to aquaculture, water bottling or agriculture operations. Highly vulnerable aquifers of this sort, however, are small in size and denote low levels of development. The largest aquifer in the study area is approximately 150 km2 of sand and gravel spanning from the Town of Comox to Black Creek. It yields moderate amounts of water and is not very vulnerable to contamination. Several other important aquifers have also been identified, as well as three areas where aquifers may exist, yet more data is required to establish their presence. This project report will prove useful to Regional planners as they begin to integrate groundwater concerns into their planning activities. It is hoped that the information created by this study will now foster a greater degree of care for this economically and biologically valued but hidden resource.
