Protect Residents and Key Cultural Sites from Floods in the XGCA • Obtain a Structural Protection Unit capable of deployment on up to three buildings at once. • Work with the appropriate agencies to upgrade existing airstrips located in the XGCA that have been identified to date (Chilko and Nemiah). • Fuel modification and other works identified should be carried out on the areas listed in Appendix 1. • Obtain appropriate insurance coverage for all Xeni Gwet’in homes and public assets • Ensure that appropriate partner agencies have a copy of the Community Wildfire Protection Plan. • Coordinate FireSmart practices with resorts and residents in the area. Establish a fire safety committee for XGCA. • Cut Fire Breaks or reduce fuel loads around the key cultural sites outside Nemiah Valley. • Undertake road side thinning along the road from Nemiah through to the Stone reserve and from the north Chilko Lake through to the highway. • Salvage dead pine in high lightening strike areas off reserve where feasible • Re‐introduce fire and identify areas where natural fires will be allowed to burn • Develop a Flood Protection Plan for high risk areas near homes, roads and cultural sites • Contact Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium to undertake hydrological modeling in area to determine long‐term flood risk in the area. • Ensure that appropriate partner agencies have a copy of the Flood Protection Plan. • Monitor key lake, river and stream levels • Acquire flood protection supplies and equipment from partnering agencies as needed. 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 3 2 2 4 3 2 3 Council Fire Protection Committee Fire Protection Committee Council Council Fire Protection Committee Fire Protection Committee Fire Protection Committee Fire Protection Committee ?

Water Supply Protection and Conservation Adaptation Objective Protect Key Potable Water Sources Actions Priority Responsibility Timeframe Funding Required • Educate the Xeni Gwet’in members about water protection (disposal of toxic chemicals, protection from livestock, water quality standards) • Prohibit industrial logging and mining in the XGCA (no Prosperity Mine) • Fence streams from cattle and designate cattle watering areas • Establish a recycling depot in Nemiah for toxic chemicals • Remove garbage that may leach toxic chemicals into water system (old cars, appliances, drums of chemicals, etc.) • Clean up debris and garbage from streams • Collect baseline data for key glaciers and rivers, lakes & aquifers (Klokon) in the XGCA • Establish weather stations or rainfall monitoring equipment in several key locations in the XGCA • Continue water quality monitoring on key lakes, rivers, streams and aquifers • Begin water flow and temperature monitoring beyond the Chilko and Taseko rivers • Begin glacier monitoring • Monitor the water chemistry of Cheolquoit Lake (potential test case) • Coordinate water protection protocols with all wilderness lodges in the XGCA ensuring all parties meet the Canadian Water Quality Standards. 1 1 2 2 1 1 1 3 1 2 3 3 2 Health Dept Council Nemiah Stockman’s Association Recycling Committee Recycling Committee Fish & Wildlife/Recycling Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Watershed Committee Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term Short‐term 74
