Projects


Splitrock is a St’at’imc business that has been in operation since 2007. We have successfully completed numerous environmental ecological projects including habitat and vegetation surveys, fish and wildlife surveys and long term monitoring programs. We have carried out ecological restoration of a diversity of habitat through a mix of activities. This work was managed and implemented on behalf of aboriginal communities, industry, and non-profit groups. View our project gallery of selected projects that we have completed over the past several years.

Fish Salvage

Fish Salvage

When there is a decrease in flow rate through the hydroelectric dams on the Seton River and Cayoose Creek, a ramping event is caused. When these ramping events take place, Splitrock Environmental fisheries technicians conduct a salvage response which requires them to search for stranded or isolated fish, monitor fish habitat sites that have historically become isolated and record any observations that are found.

Smolt Outmigration

Smolt Outmigration

As compensation for the impacts of hydroelectric development on pink spawning habitats in the Seton River, two spawning channels were constructed. The Lower Spawning Channel is located below the Cayoose Creek confluence. This channel has fyke net traps during pink fry out migration periods and inclined plane traps for Chinook and Coho fry out migration periods. The Upper Spawning Channel is located near the Seton...

Spawner Walks

Spawner Walks

In order to visually tally the number of adult spawners in the channels, Splitrock Environmental technicians conduct weekly spawner walks. This is done to collect insights on the quality of the spawning habitat as a whole, as technicians are able to compare spawner counts (eggs) with fry (recently hatched fish) migration numbers to estimate survival rates between the two.
