| Abstract/Description or Keywords | This document is one in a series that presents water quality objectives for British Columbia. This overview report summarizes the findings of the technical report, which is available as a separate document. The overview report provides general information about the water quality of China Creek, a community watershed supplying drinking water to the community of Port Alberni at the head of Alberni Inlet on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. It is intended for both technical readers and for readers who may not be familiar with the process for setting water quality objectives. Separate tables listing water quality objectives and monitoring recommendations are included. The technical report presents the details of the water quality assessment for China Creek, and forms the basis of the recommendations and objectives presented here. The primary activities occurring within the watershed that could potentially impact water quality are timber harvesting, historical mining, a hydroelectric plant, and recreation. Water quality objectives are recommended to protect source water (raw drinking water supply), wildlife, and aquatic life. |
