Stormwater Management and Runoff
October 2007 Update:
We seem to have had a fairly wet spring followed by a wet summer and now we are into a wet autumn. Consequently, the upper Simms headwater creeks have recharged sooner than normal. Although this may be very beneficial for allowing early spawning salmonids (pinks, chum and coho) to move from saltwater up into the system, it has also meant that the lands adjacent to the creeks have saturated earlier than normal. The net result is that the September and October rain storms have put a lot of excess stormwater into Simms Creek which normally might not have occurred until early November. Impacts on instream invertebrates, resident fish and spawners is unknown.
