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.

Powerhouse Site Restoration
Splitrock Environmental’s first project began at the confluence of the Fraser and Seton Rivers and was carried out in a partnership between the Sekw’el’was community and the Lillooet Naturalist Society. With a goal to turn a heavily used and degraded area of wetlands and upland ponderosa pine bunchgrass ecosystem into a richer, natural, diverse and functioning wildlife habitat area, the...

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
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.
Wetland Restoration
Wetlands are critically important habitats for many species of plants and animals. Not only do frogs, toads and salamanders reproduce in wetlands, but birds and mammals are drawn to wetlands for water, food, cooler microclimates and cover. Despite their importance, many of these relatively rare and historic ecosystems have been altered, drained or filled in to be developed for agriculture, industry, commercial and residential...

BRGWORKS-1 and BRGMON-2
Between 2014 and 2020, Splitrock Environmental worked on a riparian (zone adjacent to wetlands) enhancement project on the Carpenter Reservoir Drawdown Zone to restore some of the natural habitat that once thrived on the Bridge River Valley. This BRGWORKS-1 project took place just east of Gold Bridge, B.C., and is one of 16 Bridge-Seton Water Use Plan projects being implemented in the watersheds.
