Tolko Industries Ltd., in partnership with the North Thompson Indian Band, retained ARC Environmental Ltd. to conduct a Reconnaissance (1:20,000) Fish and Fish Habitat Inventory Program (FFHIP) within the Barriere River watershed through funding provided by Forest Renewal British Columbia (FRBC). The project also included the fish stream identification option to describe fish presence in specific stream reaches potentially affected by planned forest harvesting activities. This information is used during the development of Silviculture Prescriptions and Road Layout and Designs under the Forest Practices Code. This report will cover the Phase IV-VI work for the 167 sites completed for the project. Phases I and II of the project were completed in 1997 (ARC Environmental Ltd. 1997). Phase III was started in 1997 and finalized in 1998/1999 and 1999/2000 and Phases IV through VI were completed for 76 sites in 1998/1999 and 91 sites in 1999/2000. The study area for the project encompassed Reaches 1 through 12 of the Barriere River mainstem and its tributaries to the northwest and southeast, including; Slate Creek, Deadfall Creek, John Creek, Vermelin Creek, Leonie Creek, Dixon Creek and Delta Creek. |
