This report describes results of a Level I Fish Habitat Assessment (FHAP), a Riparian Habitat Assessment, and a Channel Conditions and Prescriptions Assessment for the Stawamus River, BC. These assessments were carried out by EVS Environment Consultants, Enviro-Pacific Consulting, and LaCas Consultants Inc. respectively, on behalf of the Ministry of Environment, Lands, and Parks, Surrey, BC. The Stawamus River is located near the community of Squamish on Howe Sound and has a total length of 21.3 km with a drainage area of approximately 4,920 ha. The Stawamus River is a Community Watershed. An intake weir was constructed across the stream in 1972, 5.3 km upstream of the mouth of the river. Water is withdrawn from the stream for drinking water purposes by the community of Squamish. A falls at 4.8 km prevents upstream movement by fish, including anadromous salmonids.
