Cheap Charts for Sale and If Enbridge counted their money the way they don't count our streams, they'd be broke before they started.

Maybe all of Enbridge's statements are loaded with innuendos, needed to be taken with a LARGE grain of salt. For example this straight out approach, via Douglas Channel, from Kitimat to the Pacific Ocean, provided by Enbridge as a reassurance to politicians, in a Video Documentary.

Its an outright lie!!!


You can plainly see that Enbridge removed all of the islands, maybe that's the plan, that Christy Clark has up her sleeve.

Fiction starts at 00:43 UPDATE the link is gone POOF!!

Enbridge says that the Northern Gateway pipeline system route transverses many watercourses ....etc


Note:  Watercourse Crossing link has been scrapped by Enbridge website, however a screen shot of their original filing with the NEB is here with the WayBackMachine 2015/01/31

Watercourse Crossings Page 1 of 3

The proposed Northern Gateway pipeline system route traverses many watercourses, from very small brooks to large rivers. Most of the water crossings are technically straightforward and have minimal environmental impacts. The Project has established a strategic watercourse crossings team to conduct detailed site surveys at difficult crossings to ensure they can be built responsibly and with minimal impacts. The pipelines will cross 773 identified watercourses with defined bed and banks; 669 of the crossings are fish-bearing.  SNIP   Source for more Updated 2015/01/31 - NEB 8 page Document

773 Watersheds, does that include Alberta, or just British Columbia?

Does Alberta have fish, or are the 669 crossings of fish-bearing watercourses only in BC?

And, considering how much Alberta has "developed" its Oil and Gas Industry, where they have many, many more inspectors than British Columbia, maybe their watercourses, the brooks and streams, are no more.


The one  two pipelines that Enbridges Northern Gateway Project, which is designed to follow major rivers, with feeders coming in from all directions, should have us on high alert, well beyond AMBER!

Going back to Maps, not the kind that we need to drive, but ones dedicated to expanding our knowledge of our BC Watersheds.........   There's this Map, its actually called an Atlas..........

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

First, search for this in Google:         BC Watershed Atlas

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Then click on the section called        Maps - Watershed Code

Which takes you to a               Fisheries Inventory   with instructions on how to use the ATLAS

NOTE:   MOE.... Ministry of Environment.......

1. Click on the desired MOE Region below. This will display an index map of all the watershed groups within the region.
2. Click on the desired watershed group. This will display a table of all the WSCA map sheet pdf files within the selected watershed group.
3. Click on the desired WSCA map sheet pdf file to display the WSCA map sheet image with the 1:50,000 Watershed Codes.

Map   6 is what you want to click on 

Now you're down to a Watershed Group, and the mouth of the Kitimat River where there's this:

KITR

KITR is the mouth of the Kitimat River, where Oil Tankers, 250 of them at 320,000 Gross Tonnes, are going to be fueling up each year and loading up too.

This is the Link for KITR:   Remember, these maps' URL is  FIRST about fish/watershed SECOND
 http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/fish/watershed_atlas_maps/maps/rgn/rgn6tbl.html#kitr

At the top of the table from the link above, there's this:

KITR: Kitimat River  which is whole map for the one Group called KITR

If you zoom in on the above link of KITR, you'll see how each stream, each brook is hemmed in by hills and mountains, like in #27.......24 streams, with feeders to them too, all contributing to our  FISH, our Drinking WATER, our very SURVIVAL.

103i.007 is the mouth of the Kitimat River  ... zoom in to 50%, for a close up look

August 11, 2012 UPDATE NOTE

From the map above, the bold blue highlighted numbers are of little use.  What you need to do is get in closer and record the numbers/letters in faint RED, then go back to the previous page select the area that you want to take a more in depth look at.

Enbridge we know about, but Kinder Morgan is continuing on with its goal of doubling up their existing oil pipeline to Burnaby.  Tankers are leaving in greater numbers from the Port of Vancouver because of Kinder Morgan.

More Documentation, lots of documentation

From the above link, the Northern Gateway Project will be crossing THREE Watersheds.  The Peace is to the east of the Canadian Rockies.   Omineca is to the West of the Canadian Rockies, then there is one just called 6, by which the pipeline will be arriving at the mouth of the Kitimat River.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As a side note......on the topic of  Fish Farms ......like the two Atlantic Salmon fish farms that are being killed off, as we write this,.... our Salmon, our West Coast Salmon, route, is through where the fish farms are.  Our Pacific Salmon are headed for their spawning grounds, via the Fraser River, which has a multitude of Watersheds that feed the Fraser.

An oil spill, would kill everything in its path.

This is the Lower Fraser River.....Do you recognize Richmond, Burnaby, Vancouver, Surrey?  Do you see the brooks, the streams, the rivers......  the USA border with Canada.... Boundary Bay?

 that's almost five times larger

Not only are the Islands missing, so too is Douglas Channel!!!
