The Watershed Assessment Committee (WAC) for this project included representatives from both FCL and RFPL, BC Environment (BCE), Ministry of Forests (Mof), Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) and members of the Spallumcheen Indian Band [Appendix A - WAC Members/Minutes]. Based on an initial round table discussion the watershed was divided into seven sub-basins (Iron, Devil, Un-named, Dale, Derry, Cavanaugh and Backyard Creeks), one residual (Wap residual) downstream of Wap Lake, and one large sub-basin and residual upstream of Wap Lake {Appendix B - Maps). Further division of the large upper sub-basin was made into two distinct basins (Upper Wap and Joss Creeks) and a residual area (residual above Frog Falls). The entire watershed is covered by this assessment. Points of interest located at the mouth on Mabel Lake, at the inlet to Wap Lake and at Frog Falls were used for the project. The purpose of this report is to: 1) Document historic land-use and past forest development practices in the watershed; 2) Determine the current watershed condition with respect to past and present land-use practice; 3) review any noted disturbance in the watershed that might explain recent reductions in Coho and Sockeye salmon stocks; 4) Review 2000 to 2005 forest development plans to determine any potential detrimental effects on current watershed conditions; 5) Summarize watershed restoration opportunities to improve water quality and/ or fish habitat.
