Wolverton Creek Hydrogeomorphic Assessment and Risk Analysis.
Download: kalesnikoff_report_wolvertonhydrogeomorphic_apex_green_2006.pdf
The purpose of this hydrogeomorphic assessment is to: 1. Identify hydrogeomorphic processes affecting runoff, peak flows, sediment delivery and sediment transport in the watershed. 2. Provide a qualitative risk analysis that assesses the sensitivity of Wolverton Creek to increases in peak flows, increases in sediment delivery or changes to riparian function and estimates the likelihood of impacts to aquatic values in the catchment given past development/disturbance and proposed development. 3. Provide recommendations for forest management to minimize the likelihood of impacts to aquatic values associated with proposed development.

| Data collection info | Wolverton Creek was field assessed in September and October 2006. Observations regarding sediment sources, sediment delivery mechanisms, sediment transport, channel morphology and historical flooding were made during the field review as well as an assessment of riparian condition and function. Additional information regarding the physical condition of the watershed and hillslope processes was gained through analysis of recent air photographs, terrain stability maps, forest cover and development maps. |

| Resource location | Roughly 500 metres of the channel above Naychuck Road and 2.5 km of channel in the headwaters portion was field assessed. The outlet of Coolie Lake was also inspected during the field investigation. The central portion of the stream was not field assessed due to poor access and the presence of steep bedrock canyons. |
