Données de référence sur la qualité de l'eau des lacs Blue Mountain Birch Cove, Blue Mountain Birch Cove Lakes Water Quality Baseline data

Keywords: lacs, Water quality, lakes, Qualité de l'eau, Halifax
Temporal coverage: 2021-04-08/2021-04-14

In April 2021, a team of volunteers conducted a water quality survey by canoe of 21 lakes within the conceptual boundary of the Blue Mountain Birch Cove Regional Urban Wilderness Park.  Variables measured included Secchi depth (a measure of turbidity), dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH and total phosphorus.  Vertical profiles indicated that all lakes were well mixed from surface to bottom at the time of sampling.  Mean values of each variable were calculated for each lake.  Secchi depths ranged from 1.5 to 3.0 m, dissolved oxygen ranged from 80 to 100 %, conductivity ranged from 14 to 187 μS/cm, ph ranged from 3.61 to 6.12 and total phosphorus ranged from 4 to 9 μg/l.  The highest values for conductivity occurred in the lower part of the Kearney Run watershed and indicate the addition of road salt and other pollutants from surrounding development.  The lowest values for pH can most likely be attributed to widespread acid precipitation during the latter part of the twentieth century.  Overall, the water quality of the lakes appears excellent but continued monitoring is recommended, especially in the lakes in the lower part of the Kearney Run Watershed such as Susies, Quarry, Washmill and Kearney lakes which are currently the most affected by development.

The North Saskatchewan Watershed Alliance (NSWA) is responsible for making watershed management recommendations to the Government of Alberta. The North Saskatchewan River (NSR) watershed is comprised of 12 sub-watersheds, one of which drains toward the Vermilion River (VR). Although the VR watershed covers a relatively large (14%) portion of the total NSR watershed, information regarding the aquatic ecosystem is not readily available. On behalf of the NSWA, CPP Environmental (CPPENV) completed an aquatic ecosystem assessment of the VR including aquatic habitat and water quality, vegetation, macroinvertebrates, and fish. Seven sampling stations were surveyed from August to September in 2015, which corresponds to the locations visited in 2014 for water quality sampling. In late summer of 2015, flow was either non-existent or detected in trace amounts at all stations, except for the downstream-most station VER6. At each station, 5 transects were established, spaced 50m apart, representing a 200m reach.

Areas of Concern (AOCs) are geographic areas within the Great Lakes basin, identified in the mid-1980s, where significant impairment of beneficial uses of the environment has occurred resulting from localized human activities. Water quality and ecosystem health monitoring and surveillance is conducted to assess ecosystem impairment in Areas of Concern (AOCs) and to track the effectiveness of remedial actions aimed at restoring beneficial uses. Remediating AOCs contributes to the sustainability of local communities and of the Great Lakes region, and is a joint commitment under the Canada-United States Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement (GLWQA). This dataset contains data collected by the Water Quality Monitoring and Surveillance Division of Environment and Climate Change Canada used in these assessments.

●	Headwaters sampling site, located within the McLean Creek Public Land Use Zone: 
50.85710 N  114.60498 W
●	Priddis-Tsuu T'ina sampling site, located on private land at the north end of Range Road 30/192 St. W: 
50.91997 N  114.28790 W
●	Sampling site 1, located within Fish Creek Provincial Park just upstream of Bridge 1:
50.92916 N  114.13801 W
●	Sampling site 2, located within Fish Creek Provincial Park downstream of the Evergreen stormwater outfall: 50.93231 N  114.09147 W
●	Sampling site 3, located within Fish Creek Provincial Park downstream of the Macleod Trail stormwater outfall: 50.92921 N  114.06889 W
●	Sampling site 4, located within Fish Creek Provincial Park downstream of the Acadia stormwater outfall: 50.92830 N  114.04871 W
●	Sampling site 5, located within Fish Creek Provincial Park near the confluence with the Bow River: 50.90494 N  114.01091 W

Temporal coverage: 2014-08-04/2017-08-20

The Dartmouth, Sawmill River 4000 acre watershed forms part of North America’s only urban core boreal watershed within a population base in excess of 400,000 people (Halifax Regional Municipality) where the inner city lakes have not eutrophied and retain oxic lake bottoms for an average of 10 months/year up to temperatures ranging from 21-23 degrees Celsius. BARA sees this native capacity of our glacial till clay bottomed lakes to adsorb phosphorous as worth preserving within an urban core densified mixed residential, commercial and industrial landscape. The baseline monitoring forming this Dataset is intended to create graphic imaging of the correlation of the seasonal anoxia and specific/conductance to infer rate of internal loading levels as the iron and manganese flush phosphates from the glacial till lake bottom soils into the water column, and estimate a predictive index of water temperatures correlated to seasonal anoxia levels for lakes monitored. Recent history over the past four decades is 8 to 15 mg/L total phosphorous. BARA hopes the scientific talents of the local Marine Biologists from federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO), the Bedford Institute of Oceanography (BIO), local universities and Community College combine with the recreational and professional sport history of our lakes as the birthplace of Hockey, Starr Skates, and an active world class canoe, kayak and paddling race course, for the basis of modeling to all other North American boreal urban watersheds that seek to restore pre-industrial sustainable phosphate load modelling to their water courses.  Of the 9 lakes monitored, BARA has partnered with and thanks Crombie REIT, HRM District #5, Gloria McCluskey, and Nova Scotia Sport Fisheries for funding to install a self-contained solar powered Aerator to improve fish habitat by reducing seasonal anoxia in the 4 hectare Lake Penhorn, by lowering the hypolimnion to near lake bottom, and supporting decomposition of lake bottom organics.

The objective of this project is to establish stream biomonitoring program along the DITC to study the effects of road development on stream ecosystem health. We used the Canadian Aquatic Biomonitoring Network (CABIN) protocol (e.g., using macroinvertebrates as bioindicators of environmental condition), collect water quality measurements along the Inuvik-Tuktoyaktuk Highway and Dempster Highway north of Tsiigehtchic. The results of this project will produce important information on the severity of ecological impacts in streams associated with road development in the Gwich’in Settlement Area (GSA) and Inuvialuit Settlement Region (ISR) that can be used by resource boards to develop management plans protecting aquatic habitat and ecosystem services. This project was funded by the Cumulative Impacts Monitoring Program (Project CIMP#210) and reflects a collaboration between researchers at Wilfrid Laurier University and Environment and Climate Change Canada.
