Stoney Creek - Preliminary Works (2013)
Preliminary work was done on Stoney Creek in the fall of 2013. The Department of Fisheries and Oceans funded NEWSS to initiate a watershed health assessment in the Stoney Creek watershed. There are 49 crossings on Stoney Creek - of which 9 were assessed and 6 of those were considered barriers to fish. A total of 353 riparian buffers were analyzed and 77 of those were identified as problematic. Read the full preliminary assessment report here:

Soil sampling was carried out on September 4, 2014 on several sites along Stoney Creek. The samples were taken to measure metal levels in the soil. In a few cases, samples exceeded the Interim Sediment Quality Guidelines (ISQG). The samples were taken by the Integrated Watershed Research Group at UNBC as part of the NEEF-funded project. Review the location and results of the soil sampling here:
