| Abstract/Description or Keywords | Integrated Woods Services Ltd. (Integrated) was commissioned by Weyerhaeuser Company Limited (Weyerhaeuser) to complete a channel assessment on Hayes Creek watershed. The watershed is located east of Princeton. The southern boundary of the watershed is the confluence of Hayes creek and Similkameen River. The northern boundary is just north of Elkhart Lake off of Highway 97C (Coquihalla Connector). It is bordered on the west by the Allison Creek Watershed (Atlas #148) and on the east by the Trout/Eneas Creek Watershed (Atlas #163) and the Hedley/McNulty Creek Watershed (Atlas #150). The watershed is divided into 18 sub-basins, but this assessment includes 11 of the priority sub-basins in the southern part of the watershed. The prioritization was completed by Weyerhaeuser and based on the results of previous assessments. The assessed sub-basins are listed in Table 1. The intent of the assessment is to review the current channel conditions and compare them to previous assessments completed in 2000 by Henderson Consulting (Overview Hydrologic Assessment for the Red Creek Watershed (Sub-basins # 83, 84, 85 and 86); Overview Hydrologic Assessment of Hayes Creek Below Siwash (#167, #168, #169, #170, #171, #172 and #173) and Overview Hydrologic Assessment of Hayes Creek above Siwash Creek Watershed , prepared for Weyerhaeuser Canada Ltd. by Henderson Environmental Consulting, March 1999.) The objectives of the Reconnaissance Channel Assessment were to: 1) Field assess the current stream channel conditions, 2) Assess the sensitivity of the stream channels to impacts from land-use activities, 3) Identify sediment sources within the sub-basins coupled to the streams, 4) Expand on previous assessments, 5) Determine the effects of the current harvesting. forest harvest, ECA, watershed assessment, water supply |
