The purpose of the assessment was to determine current watershed conditions, the effect of
past land-use practice on the watershed and the potential impacts from proposed forest
development. The assessment follows the Interim Watershed Assessment Procedure as
provided by the Ministry of Forests (MoF) and Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks
(MELP) [refer to Section 4.0]. This report replaces the previous watershed assessment completed in 1996. The Duteau Creek watershed is located southwest of the Village of Lumby within the
Vernon Forest District [Figure 1]. Duteau Creek is a community watershed providing water
for the North Okanagan Water Authority (NOWA). The entire watershed was assessed
upstream of the Headgates water intake (referred to as the lower point of interest [POI 1]).
The majority of Crown land in the watershed is held under forest license by Riverside Forest
Products Limited - Lumby Division, with a minor portion part of a forest license held by
Tolko Industries Ltd., Lavington Planer Division. The Small Business Forest Enterprise
Program (SBFEP) also has several timber sales proposed within the watershed. A Watershed Assessment Committee (WAC) including representatives from Riverside
Forest Products Limited - Lumby Division, the MoF, MELP, Department of Fisheries and
Oceans (DFO), NOWA and Tolko Industries Ltd. was organized to provide input on related
issues and concerns, and to review the results [Appendix A]. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans (DFO) did not participate in the initial WAC
meeting but requested to be kept informed of assessment results through receipt of the
meeting minutes and the final report.
