This report has been completed for Riverside Forest Products Limited, Armstrong Division in response to agency comments received through the five-year development plan review process. An Integrated Watershed Restoration Procedure (IWRP) completed for Iron Creek identified potential channel aggradations on the lower reaches of the mainstem channel. The Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks (MELP) is concerned about proposed development and potential impacts on Iron and Wap Creeks. To address this concern, MELP has suggested a forward looking Interior Watershed Assessment Procedure (IWAP). In response to this request, Riverside Forest Products limited has committed to a hydrologist's review of the five-year development plan in the context of the existing information. The purpose of this report is to: 1) Review the results of the IWRP and identify any information gaps; 2) Determine the present condition of the watershed and stream system using a field assessment procedure; 3) Review the current five-year development plan; 4) Present the ECA level over five-year development plan period; 5) Determine any potential effects that proposed development may have on current watershed condition; 6) Prioritize hillslope, road and channel restoration sites. watershed assessment, water quality, ECA, sediment, erosion, road |
