currently building RCA model for NE BC |
| Limitations |
Data/results not currently available for general use; a number of sites in NE BC, esp around Hudson Hope, Tumbler Ridge, Liard area and very NE corner associated with Mackenzie River project |
| Challenges |
Ph. contact with Stephanie Strachan (Env Can Biomonitoring Coordinator) - NE BC is special project funded for 4 years by NRCAN, when funding complete, data will be forwarded to provincial biologists. No results available yet. Year 1 (2010-11) baseline inventory of available water quality data in region [unclear if that inventory report is available]; Sampling 2012-2015 (both biomonitoring and chemical/physical water quality) with final report to be completed by March 2016. |
