Upper Arrow Lakes: Airport Slough Dike Initiation Phase Assessment
Author: L. Thomson, G. Shearing
This screening level assessment consists of two components: (1) literature review and (2) summary of stakeholder survey results with the following objectives: 1. to compile and summarize studies, assessments, and physical works projects, conducted in Airport Slough; 2. to determine the feasibility of enhancing ecological values in Airport Slough through stabilizing water levels by soliciting input from key stakeholder to identify challenges and synergies from received feedback; and 3. to recommend to proceed, or not to proceed, with further studies and actions in support of stabilizing water levels in Airport Slough. The ultimate project goal, should a way forward be identified, will be to ensure the long lasting ecological function and land preservation of Airport Slough. A management plan for Airport Slough (part of subsequent efforts) would be informed by the findings of this preliminary assessment, as would future development of the Revelstoke Airport
Results of stakeholder feedback including concerns around ecosystem function, costs, airport operations, recreation impacts, construction, etc.
