APPENDIX 5 Macrophyte Ecology

MACROPHYTE DESCRIPTOR DEFINITIONS (USDA, 2010)

Morphology Active Growth Period: seasonal period when the plant has their most active growth (i.e., spring; spring & fall; spring & summer; spring,

summer & fall; summer; summer & fall; fall; fall, winter & spring; year-round).

Growth Rate: growth rate after successful establishment relative to other species with the same growth habit.

Growth Form: growth form that most enhances plant ability to stabilize soil (i.e., bunch, colonizing, multiple stems, rhizomatous, single crown, single stem, stoloniferous, thicket forming).

C:N Ratio: percentage (%) of organic carbon divided by the percentage (%) of total nitrogen in organic material (low: <23; medium: 23 – 59; high: >59).

Nitrogen Fixation: amount of nitrogen fixed by the plant in monoculture (None: 0 lb N/acre/year; 0<Low<85; Medium: 85-160; High: >160).

Foliage Texture: general texture of the plant’s foliage relative to other species with the same growth habit (i.e., fine, medium, coarse).

Foliage Porosity Summer: how porous the foliage is during the summer months (i.e., porous, moderate, dense).

G3 Consulting Ltd.

Introduction As part of the CLBMON-55 Revelstoke reservoir macrophyte study project G3 will be conducting a field component during the end of September (week of Sept 21 or Sept 28). G3 will notify BC Hydro the week before the field study takes place so that they may notify other interested personnel in the Revelstoke area. The field study will take place over a five (5) day period and include the following tasks:

1. Conduct an aerial reconnaissance flight over the reservoir using a fixed wing aircraft chartered from Silver Tip Aviation out of Revelstoke B.C;

2. Using the G3 scientific study boat G3 will collect representative macrophyte species from up to 12 sites along the entire length of reservoir. Prior to each days field sampling, G3 will notify BC Hydro of area it will be working in; and,

3. Traverse the 12 study sites using the study boat mapping each using a GPS Sonar.

G3 Consulting Ltd.

1.0 Radio & Communication Protocol Radio frequencies are unsecured, allowing public and industry monitoring of transmissions. For this reason the following radio protocol will be followed to maintain a professional, functional line of communication between field crews and transportation/monitoring service providers (aircrafts, boat, etc.) or other stations as required. Once permission to use the BCH F1 and F2 has been granted my BC Hydro, all G3 field radios will have this channel programmed into their channel list.

1.1 Radio Frequencies

G3 will operate on industry or Marine two-way VHF radio frequencies within the study area.

Frequencies:

Channel F1: General communication (frequency 165.930)

Channel F2: Contacting the repeater and in Emergency communication (frequency 165.300)

Air service providers often monitor radio frequencies, however their channels may not be the same as those used by field crews and radio communication is not always a successful.

Key issues

Operating Names will be assigned for each group;

Location Codes will be assigned to each survey site;

radio communication will be kept to the minimum pertinent information

required for safe work planning and,

SAFETY CONCERNS WILL OVERRIDE THIS PROTOCOL IMMEDIATELY.

Implementation

each field crew will be identified with a unique field name;

where appropriate, the Aircraft Pilot will supply an appropriate call sign if communication is required;

location codes will be assigned according to sample/reach sites and field

members will communicate with office personnel using these codes; and.

radios will be tested during field operations to ensure operating condition and will be returned at the end of each day to the Safety Officer for proper

charging and testing.

Safety

during any type of medical or perceived emergency radio protocol will be adjusted and site specific data will be given directly over the air;

data is to be directed to the pilot, other field crews or other operating stations by their given field operating name,

information should include (in this order):

2.0 FIELD EMERGENCY PROCEDURES In accordance with G3 Field Protocol, a Safety Officer will be assigned for the duration of the field program. The Safety Officer will make final decisions on issues regarding individuals or group safety as related to work tasks. In addition the Safety Officer will be responsible for the Spill Management (Section 2.2) and ensuring any and all BMP’s are followed when conducting field activities. Activities will be abandoned if deemed, by the Safety Officer, as too great a risk. The safety officer will possess a fist aid and transportation certificate valid for the number of personnel under their supervision. The field portion of this program may require use of boats and four-wheel drive vehicles in remote areas. Work will involve water quality measurements and associated work around flowing water, reservoirs and the potential for wildlife encounters. Appropriate personal gear (i.e. footwear, waders, life vest, rainwear and appropriate clothing, etc.) is the responsibility of each individual crew member. Personnel will not be permitted to participate in field activities if the Safety Officer deems equipment to be inadequate. For the duration of the field study three (3) G3 personnel (1 field biologist and 2 field technicians) will conducting the field work. Due to the large number of expected crew (including several BC Hydro staff) a forth G3 personnel may accompany the field crews to navigate the boat and assist in boat safety procedures. The Field Biologist will be responsible for the overall field study, crew safety, and completion of the required work. Each field technician will assist in the collection and processing of macrophytes, water quality data and operation of equipment.

2.1 Roles & Responsibilities

It is the Safety Officers responsibility to ensure each crew has reviewed this EAP prior to field is equipped with the following supplies:

WCB Level I First Aid Kit and associated supplies. Each G3 crew member will have completed the WCB level one first aid and transportation requirements;

Hand Held Radio (appropriate map/code );

Survival Gear;

Rescue gear (as required);

Bear Knowledge and Bear Spray (if deemed necessary);

Signaling Device; and,

THIS EMERGENCY ACTION PLAN

Any concerns regarding safety should be addressed directly to the Safety Officer.

2.2 Spill Management Procedures

Field work will involve the re-fueling of equipment (boat, generators etc.) in addition to managing this equipment over a sensitive waterbody (Revelstoke Reservoir). The procedures below are to be followed to prevent and manage a spill should one occur.

2.2.1 Preventing Spills in the Field

The refueling of boats and or equipment while on the water is prohibited. Any and all refueling will take at an appropriate fueling station or at a distance >100 m from the shoreline.


6

G3 Consulting Ltd.

Any portable fuel containers used in the field must be <20 L and be CSA (or equivlent) approved.

Fuel containers will not be left unattended at any time while on the water.

An appropriately sized spill kit will kept with the boat during the course of the field work.

2.2.2 Dealing with a Spill

If a spill does occur while in the field the following procedures will be implemented by the Safety Officer to ensure proper containment and clean-up:

Assess sa fety – Ensure the spill does not pose a health safety risk to crew

members.

Contain and Clean the Spill – Locate the spill kit and contain the spill using spill booms (if in water), ditches and spill rags. All of the contaminated soil and rags

should be put into buckets.

Report the Spill – If the spill is on land and greater then 10 L, report the spill to the Provincial Emergecy Program (PEP). Notify BC Hydro and G3 Head office of

any spill that occurs on site. All spill into a waterbody are to be reported to the PEP and BC Hydro.

Prevent Future Spills – Assess how and why the spill occurred and rectify the

problem so that its does not occur in the future.

G3 Consulting Ltd.

3.0 Safety Plan In the event of an emergency the Safety Plan is to be followed according to criteria described below. A first aid/rescue post is to be established at a readily accessible site (e.g., vehicle, launch site, etc.) it is the Safety Officers responsibility to ensure that this post is appropriately stocked and supplies are maintained in good condition. As Highway 23 is the closest and most direct route from Revelstoke reservoir to the town of Revelstoke, it will be used for any emergency that requires transportation from the field site to Revelstoke. If an ambulance is not require for transportation, G3 will use the field truck (2008 Toyota Tundra) equipped with spine board and blankets, to transport any injured personnel.

Contents of the first aid/rescue post include: Level 1 first aid kit and spine board; survival gear;

VHF and/or satellite phone (optional); swift water rescue equipment (where applicable); and, rescue/extraction equipment (e.g., ax, winch, etc.).

This post is to serve as the emergency gathering point in the event of crew separation at the work site. A log will be maintained at this site to leave and receive messages in the event that communication by radio/phone is not established. A copy of this Plan is to remain at the post at all times.

At all time you must know: WHERE YOU ARE; WHERE YOU ARE IN RELATION TO THE POST;

Tailgate meetings are an important aspect of field work. They are used to review safety procedures, project objectives and timelines, focus and discuss daily activities and benchmarks and a means by which to discuss and review project progress and any

issues, complications or findings.

Tailgate meetings would be held each morning before commencement of field work. Each day’s work plan would be discussed and crew obligations, QA/QC criteria, and

specific expectations outlined. The safety officer would provide input as to any specific safety issues or concerns and overview any procedures need for the day (e.g., boat protocol, aircraft procedures, etc.). Each field personnel will be provided a waterproof

field book in which daily activities will be noted and specific instructions listed.

Additional evening tailgates would be held to review and compare daily objectives with those identified in the morning and to identify any follow-up or action items for the next

day (e.g., purchase of supplies, re-testing, shipment of samples, etc.). Tailgate discussions would be recorded by the field coordinator for reference.


10

G3 Consulting Ltd.

3.4 Check-In Procedures

During the field work all crew members will remain together and in close contact with each other. Everyone will leave the launch point and return to it together and the end of each day. To ensure management is aware that each day was successful and that each

personnel is accounted for, the crew leader will report to the office manager and the end of each day by 7pm, once all crew members have returned to the hotel. Status reports and data uploads will also be given to the office manager with crew check-ins.

In the event that a check-in is not completed, all attempts will be made to contact the field crew via cell phones and hotel staff. If no contact can be established by 10pm G3 will contact Revelstoke emergency authorities and report them missing with their last know

location and the location of all the study sites.


11

G3 Consulting Ltd.

4.0 W ATER/RESERVOIR RESCUE In the event of a water rescue the Safety Officer will coordinate the rescue team until the point at which a professional SAR Tech. of higher qualification arrives on site.

To reduce the chance of requiring swift water rescue, personal floatation devices (PFDs) are to be worn by ALL crew members when working near any fast moving water (common in the upper reach of the reservoir). Throw bags will be situated at each sample site as required. PFDs must be worn by all crew members while in the boat at all times.

4.1 Rescue Equipment (Optional)

In the event that strong currents are observed at a sample site, equipment designed specifically for swift water rescue will be located at either the on shore the first aid/rescue

post (where applicable) or on the sampling boat.

Rescue Equipment includes:

Throw bag;

assorted 1" rescue webbing;

1 Rescue life jacket;

assorted prussic slings;

assorted locking carabiners; and,

Level 1 first aid kit.

THIS EQUIPMENT IS TO BE USED FOR RESCUE PURPOSES ONLY.

4.2 Rescue Procedures

Swift water rescue requires special training and skills. In-stream rescues are to be conducted by appropriately trained field members only (i.e., Swift Water Rescue Technician 1). Rescue procedures are to be conducted in accordance to Swift Water

Rescue procedures described in the Swift Water Rescue Training (SRT) course. Refer to SRT literature for appropriate procedures.

fixed wing aircraft.

Each of these means of transport has certain inherent risks associated with use. To minimize these risks each means of transportation is to be operated and/or used in accordance with manufacturer’s specifications and established guidelines (e.g., Coast Guard, Department of Transportation, WCB, etc.).

5.1 Boat Safety Boats and rafts are to be used in accordance to Canadian Coast Guard regulations. Specifically boats will be equipped with a minimum of the following equipment:

PFDs for all passengers;

15 m floating line;

paddles/oars; navigation lights when operated at night;

a signaling device (i.e., flares); and,

a bailer.

In addition to this equipment, boats will be equipped with a marine VHF radio (hand held),

survival gear and a first aid kit. In accordance to swift water procedures life jackets will be worn in the boat at all times it is operating within a reservoir. Boats are to be used for the sole purpose of field work and related activities. Excessive speed and/or dangerous use

of boats is prohibited.

5.2 Fixed Wing Aircraft Safety

During the course of the aerial survey all BC Hydro SOP’s (OSH 407, SOP Scientific Aerial Survey’s etc.) will be strictly adhered to and reviewed with field crew prior to

conducting any field work. Helicopters will not be used during the study unless required for emergency procedures (injury, evacuation etc.).

G3 will contract a plane and pilot approved by BC Hydro for the purpose of conducting an

aerial survey of Revelstoke Reservoir. The pilot will explain safety in and around aircraft and proper procedures for flight. The pilot will have ultimate authority over safety issues pertaining to aircraft use.

This standard operating procedure (SOP) will establish governance for Scientific Aerial Survey. It will apply to the scientific aerial surveys utilizing a fixed wing aircraft for conducting a visual and photographic survey of Revelstoke Reservoir.

5.2.1 Pre Flight Procedure

principles from the pilot prior to embarking on the flight.

3. The pilot must have documented proof of training in Pilot Decision Making (PDM) and Emergency Procedures. Documented proof will be listed on the pilot

database available on the Aircraft Operations website.

5.2.3 Aerial Survey Procedure

1. Scientific aerial survey flights should be limited to five (5) hours on survey, with a maximum eight (8) hours of flight time per day.

2. Workers performing aerial surveys must complete a person check at regular intervals as determined by the flight plan

3. Aircraft selection must meet or exceed the requirements set out in this procedure

4. All patrols that include flights over remote areas must have an approved BC Hydro Emergency Preparedness kit on board when the flight commences. The emergency kit will have enough supplies to support all persons on board in case

of an emergency landing in a remote area.

5. All low level aerial surveys must have an initial reconnaissance flight prior to a detailed survey being started if:

a. The pilot and crew are not familiar with the area(s) to be surveyed; or

b. The area(s) have not been flown within the past 6 months.


14

6. When flying or working over water (i.e. aquatic vegetation survey) all flight crew must wear an approved PFD (Personal Floatation Device).

7. In the case it is known that no flight hazards exist, the reconnaissance flight may be waived by any of the two listed below who are in agreement;

a. Area Manager or delegate

b. General Manager.

5.2.4 Pre-flight Operations / Job Planning

Always ask the question – Can the job or task be completed using other methods?

The following factors should be considered as part of job planning:

Aircraft Selection

Pilot Selection

Pilot and Crew Pre-Flight Discussions

6.0 ASSOCI ATED RISKS There are several risks associated with the nature of certain field portions of any program. For this reason it is imperative that field members use their best judgment and remain vigilant in their application of safety protocols. If a question or uncertainty related to field safety arises, it is the responsibility of each crew member to consult the Safety Officer or this SAFETY PLAN document. Certain risks associated with field work can be limited through application of common sense and judgment. Remember where you are and think about the risk involved in the work task and the potential outcome in the event of an emergency. Emergency resources may be limited, requiring absolute caution during all aspects of field work.

Log Booms

When working for extended periods of time on logs and/or related booms field members must use caulk boots. In accordance with swift water protocols a PFD must be worn when working on log booms or logs within a river.

Swimming

Swims (if required) are to be conducted by experienced field members equipped with appropriate dry suits and floatation devices. Crew members are not to conduct swims alone unless accompanied by a drift raft equipped with appropriate rescue equipment

and experienced personnel.

Generators & Motors

Never refuel a running motor. Be sure that the appropriate fuel type is used when refueling.

Alert other crew members when starting a generator, particularly when using power tools or related electrical appliances.

7.0 EM ERGENCY PHONE PROCEDURES The nature of field work may require the use of boats and ATVs in remote areas. In the event of an emergency be sure to identify the following points to the response team:

the situation involves stranded/injured field member(s) (in the lake, up a road) requiring a search and rescue; and/or,

the situation involves injured field member(s) requiring assistance from the first

aid/rescue post (e.g., field camp, truck, etc.).

In the event of an emergency:

Describe the nature of the accident in sufficient detail to assist in appropriate response. Keep details to the essential points. Speak slowly and clearly to avoid confusion. Be decisive in your actions and requests and have your request repeated back to you for confirmation. Provide the following information to the response team:

1. Nature of emergency (Medical, Accident, Storm/Weather, etc.);

2. Number of persons involved;

3. Type of assistance required (Paramedic, SAR Team, Heli/Air evacuation, Emergency towing, etc.).

4. Field location; and,

5. Site Description (as viewed from the air, water, road, etc.)

Remember to use logic. If the field team is known to at a specific location, assistance and searches should focus on that area first.

7.1 Handheld Radios (Where Applicable)

Ensure all crew members are familiar with radio operation and know where the radio is

located. Establish the following:

an appropriate relay station (i.e., nearest party); and,

approximate range of radio signal; and,

barriers to radio use (i.e., valleys, mountains, etc.).

Marine VHF RADIO

In the event that satellite telephone connection is not available during an emergency situation follow these procedures:

1. Place an appropriate PAN PAN or MAY DAY on channel ____ (VHF 16 if marine) third party and/or Coast Guard should respond; if no response,

2. Request help on channel ______. This is the operating/hailing channel used in

the study area. Have your message relayed to the appropriate response team and repeated back to you for confirmation.
