Drought Aquatic Ecosystem Monitoring Locations

These layers display data on aquatic ecosystem risks and impacts for regional priority watersheds and locations.

Drought conditions are typically monitored following spring freshet (the seasonal rise in water levels resulting from melting snowpack) until the onset of winter conditions. This timing can vary considerably for different areas of the province from year to year depending on conditions. When drought conditions are actively monitored, drought levels are typically set weekly or biweekly.

To learn more about drought conditions, patterns and trends visit the [B.C. Drought Information Portal](https://droughtportal.gov.bc.ca/).

BC Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) Sites and Models Web-App

The Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) program is a tool that is used to assess the ecological health of wadeable streams using benthic macroinvertebrate communities. The program includes models that are built using data from a wide range of sites that are minimally impacted by humans (“potential reference” sites). These sites establish the natural variability of healthy benthic macroinvertebrate communities within a watershed. The models are used to evaluate the aquatic health at sites where there are stressors and concerns with the aquatic ecosystem (“test” sites). The differences between the benthic macroinvertebrates at the test site compared with the range of conditions found at similar reference sites provides information about the effect of stressors within a watershed. Once the sites have been incorporated into a CABIN model, and the model has been approved by ECCC, the site designation is changed from “potential reference” to “reference”. Information on BC’s biomonitoring program can be found here: gov.bc.ca/ biomonitoring

This web-app was created to provide a publicly accessible tool to visualize and query CABIN sites in BC sampled by the BC Ministry of Environment and Parks and Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC). The web-app also displays watershed boundaries for the various CABIN models available in BC. Note that online training and certification must be completed with ECCC to access the CABIN database and use the models (https://www.canada.ca/en/environment-climate-change/services/canadian-aquatic-biomonitoring-network/training.html).

Elk Valley Water Quality Plan

The Elk Valley Area Based Management Plan (ABMP) - “Elk Valley Water Quality Plan” was developed according to Ministerial Order No. 113 to remediate water quality effects of past coal mining and to guide future development. 

The Elk Valley Water Quality Plan was developed by Teck with input from the public, First Nations, governments, technical experts and other stakeholders. The purpose of the Plan is to identify a strategy and implement solutions to address increasing selenium and nitrate water concentrations within the Valley, and assess and track levels of cadmium and sulphate in waters; while at the same time allowing for continued sustainable mining in the Valley. The Plan also lays out a strategy to address calcite formation associated with historical and current mining activity.

The Plan was submitted to the British Columbia Minister of Environment for approval on July 22, 2014. The ministry amended the Elk Valley ABMP in 2025. More information can be found at https://elkvalleywaterquality.gov.bc.ca/.

Livestock at Large Regulations in British Columbia

In British Columbia, there are over 100 Livestock Districts, Bull Control Areas and Pound Districts established by regulation under the Livestock Act. Livestock Districts, with minor exceptions, are areas where livestock may run at large within the district boundaries. Bull Control Areas are areas within Livestock District, in which Bull Control Committees may make rules respecting the number, breed, breeding, quality and age of bulls allowed to run at large. Pound Districts are areas where keepers, peace officers and others may impound animals at large, and allow for the sale of unclaimed impounded animals and the reimbursement of the keeper. 

The regulations are published in the British Columbia Gazette Part II. The current Index of Current B.C. Regulations provides a complete list. Search Orders in Council from http://BCLaws.ca to view related Orders in Council including metes and bounds descriptions.

Compulsory Inspection Data 1900 to 2023-24

In order to comply with the *Wildlife Act*, hunters must have certain game species inspected by a provincial inspector.  The compulsory inspection (CI) database contains information that is collected during these inspections.  The CI data is presented at the [Wildlife Management Unit (WMU)](https://catalogue.data.gov.bc.ca/dataset/028d4791-1241-437a-9f7b-fdf08b0d6dfb) level and spans the period of record from 1900 to current.  The species required to be inspected changes over time and varies by region, so not all species are represented in the dataset for the full period of record or for the entire province.  The user should consult the CI website for the current list of species requiring inspection.

Timber Harvesting Land Base - Data - Howe Sound Cumulative Effects

The Timber Harvesting Land Base (THLB) is an estimate of the land where timber harvesting is considered both acceptable and economically feasible, given the objectives for all relevant forest values, existing timber quality, market values and applicable technology. It is a theoretical, strategic-level estimate used for timber supply analysis and could include areas that may never be harvested or may exclude areas that will be harvested. THLB is developed in-house for the South Coast Region by consolidating current THLB maintained by each of the three District Offices (i.e., Sunshine Coast, Sea to Sky, and Chilliwack). It consolidates four categories: 1) Contributing (C), for areas where 100% of the polygon is available for timber harvesting; 2) Partially Contributing (P), for areas where < 100% of the polygon is available for timber harvesting; 3) Non-Contributing (N), for areas removed from the crown forest available for timber harvest, but may contribute to old growth and Wildlife Tree Reserve; and 4) Exclusion Areas (X), for areas excluded from contributing to old growth and Wildlife Tree Reserve, which are non-crown land, non-forested areas or areas designated as non-productive forest.

Spatial data was extracted from the BC Geographic Warehouse, or from the Resource District data library (non-standard) and converted to ESRI’s ArcGIS feature classes format in preparation for the timber supply analysis that ultimately determines the Timber Harvesting Land Base. The South Coast Region THLB is updated every time a Timber Supply Review is undertaken or when significant changes to the land base occur.

Roads - Data - Howe Sound Cumulative Effects

The 2015 BC Cumulative Effects Assessment uses an integrated roads product created by consolidating various BCGW road sources in an hierarchical order (see csv). The dataset was created specifically for cumulative effects analysis. It is intended for strategic level analysis and should not be considered as positionally accurate, or used for navigation. This dataset contains line work from many sources, some representing built roads and some representing road tenures. It may contain duplicates of some roads that are not within the integration distance (7m), roads that may not have been built and roads that are now overgrown or impassible. It may also be missing roads. While the 2015 Integrated Roads is not available for public distribution, the latest sources, live in BCGW, can be found here:
