| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
This report summarizes the results of the application of the Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure (IWAP) in the Duteau Creek watershed. The watershed assessment procedure was based on the Forest Practices Code guidebook, dated September 1995. The Duteau Creek watershed is located southwest of the Village of Lumby in the Southern Interior of British Columbia and is part of the Vernon Forest District. Duteau Creek is a community watershed providing water for the North Okanagan Water Authority (NOWA). The entire watershed was assessed from the NOWA domestic water intake (referred to as the point of interest [POI] in this report) to its headwaters. The majority of the Crown land in the watershed is a forest license held by Riverside Forest Products Limited - Lumby Division; a minor portion is part of a forest license held by Tolko Industries Ltd., Lavington Planer Division. The IWAP assessment is intended to be an office analysis to determine the potential for cumulative impacts resulting from past forest development. The results have been derived from characteristics of the watershed based on topographic maps and historical forest development from forest cover maps. It is important to recognize that the results of the office assessment indicate a "potential" for hazards to exist. The results of the office assessments were confirmed through field inspections and are also summarized in this report. Please be advised that Appendix A Map "Sub-unit Boundaries for Duteau Creek Watershed" is not available on EcoCat.ﾠ |
