Mark Creek Revitalization Initiative $22,000

The overall objective of this project is to assess watershed processes in an integrated manner so that appropriate techniques can be prescribed that provide for long term management and rehabilitation of Mark Creek. (Mark Creek is a tributary of the St. Mary's River within the Kootenay River basin. It flows through the City of Kimberley.)

This assessment will employ ecological principles that allow management for maximum diversity of native species within the Mark Creek drainage. The aim of this project is to accomplish the following goals:
1. A review of existing information and data compilation to provide the historical background of the watershed, the areas of concern, and the tools to initiate the assessment;
2. A Proper Functioning Condition (PFC) assessment of Mark Creek including hydro-geomorphological and riparian vegetation components (advanced inventory); and
3. Prioritized channel and riparian zone rehabilitation prescriptions to return the stream to proper functioning condition wherever possible (design and planning).
