In the spring of 1997, the Nadina Community Futures Development Corporation
(NCFDC) was designated as a proponent for FRBC funding in a Watershed Restoration
Program (WRP) project in the Mid-Bulkley Watershed. The NCFDC is a
non-profit community economic development corporation based in Houston, British
Columbia. The implementing partner in this endeavor was the Ministry of Environment,
Lands, and Parks, Skeena Region BC Environment office (MELP). WRP is a provincial initiative under Forest Renewal BC to restore the productive
capacity of forest, fisheries and aquatic resources that have been adversely impacted by
past forest harvest practices, and thus to aid in providing long-term employment
opportunities in resource-dependent communities (Johnston and Moore, 1995). The Fish Habitat and Assessment Procedure (FHAP) is a means of assessing watersheds
with a history of anthropogenic activity for impacts to fish and fish habitats using a set of
integrated physical and biological indicators. The assessment procedure extends from
stream and river channels, to the riparian area, to upslope areas in which there is some
level of connectivity to the channel. There are two levels of assessment in the FHAP.
The first, known as the Overview Assessment, is a reconnaissance-level study compiling background data and using predominately remote-sensing techniques to prioritize subbasins
and waterbodies within those sub-basins for the second level of FHAP. This is
known as the Detailed (or Level 1) Assessment, which involves more detailed field
surveys of the channel and riparian areas, the end result of which is the formation of
restoration prescriptions to restore or rehabilitate fish habitat, or mitigate impacts on that
habitat.
