This report presents the results of an overview hydrologic assessment of the residual area Summers Creek watershed, located approximately 9km north of Princeton within the Merritt Forest District. The total Summers Creek watershed is comprised of the Rampart Creek (#76), Missezula Lake (#75), and Dillard Creek (#74) sub-basins and a residual area (#73). Rampart Creek and Missezula Lake are presented as separate reports in Volume II, and Dillard Creek was a formal watershed assessment completed in 1999 by Henderson Environmental Consulting Ltd. This report presents field results of the Summers Creek residual area (#73) only (essentially the area below Missezula Lake) but incorporates all sub-basins in the ECA analysis of the total Summers Creek watershed. The 1997 IWAP results for Summers Creek watershed indicated a high hazard for the surface erosion impact category and a medium hazard for riparian buffers other hydrologic hazards were low. Refer to Volume I of this project for details regarding field and office methods, treatment of residual areas, organization of sub-basins, and approach difference between this assessment and the 1997 IWAP. watershed assessment, erosion, sediment, ECA, peak flow, riparian |
