Identification of fisheries values and protection strategies for aquatic and riparian areas in the City of Prince George, B.C. / by Nick Page and Matthew Child.: Fs97-4/2402E-PDF

"The central focus of this report is to identify and classify sensitive aquatic and riparian areas. Specific objectives of the study are to map watershed boundaries, identify areas of resident fish use, review current Natural Environment Development Permit Areas and prepare expanded guidelines to protect these areas. The report outlines an action plan for guideline implementation, and identifies additional municipal planning tools for protecting aquatic areas within the City of Prince George. The report recommends that certain areas (outlined in Section 5.0) be adopted by the City of Prince George as an Official Community Plan (OCP) amendment and that the City enter into a Memorandum of Understanding with DFO and MELP to create an Environmental Review Committee to oversee implementation of stream protection measures. It is also suggested that the City initiate a comprehensive Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESA) study designed to provide information on fish habitats, and inventories of biophysical features"--Abstract, page vi.
