The purpose of the 2007 Upper Kitwanga River Stream Crossing Assessment Project was to identify stream crossings within the Gitanyow Lake and the Upper Kitwanga River Watersheds that could impede fish movement into upstream reaches and to assess the degree of sedimentation entering the stream from the surrounding roadway.

Report ID:  43007

Audience:  Government and Public

For this project the Gitanyow Fisheries Authority (GFA) utilized two independent assessments, the Fish Passage-Culvert Inspection Procedure (FPCI, Parker 2000) and the Water Quality Effectiveness Evaluation (WQEE, Carson et. al. 2007) with the objective of compiling a large amount of data from a stream crossing in a single visit. The scope of this project included roads under both the B.C. Ministry of Forests and the BC Ministry of Transportation jurisdiction that cross all streams flowing into Gitanyow Lake and the Upper Kitwanga River.
