1.0 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Background Duncan Dam Reservoir Archaeological Overview Assessment Final Report The Duncan Dam Water Use Planning (WUP) "recognized the importance of cultural sites and locations of historic and ongoing cultural activity to First Nations with an interest in the area" (BC Hydro 2009: 17, 20). A key concern of First Nations was with impact of reservoir operations on "cultural sites represented by archaeological remains" (ibid). During the WUP process (2005), the WUP committee established four primary objectives that it aims to address in recognition of the importance of cultural sites and locations of historic and ongoing cultural activity to First Nations: i. Protect cultural sites and resources from erosion in Duncan Reservoir; ii. Protect cultural sites and resources from exploitation in the Duncan Reservoir; iii. Provide opportunities for archaeological investigation in the Duncan Reservoir; iv. Maintain the cultural, aesthetic and ecological context of important cultural resources and spiritual sites. Incomplete archaeological inventory and survey coverage of the Duncan Reservoir, the absence of synthesized analysis of documented sites and inadequate knowledge of the condition of those sites led the WUP committee to conclude that they were unable to fully evaluate the effects of reservoir operations on cultural sites (BC Hydro 2009: 17, 20; BC Hydro 2009: 197: 11). A Cultural Resources Monitoring Plan (Order 5.4 within the Duncan Dam Water Use Plan) was devised to address these gaps in the WUP as a two-tiered program to be implemented over a five year period (BC Hydro 2009: 16). It was to include (1) archaeological survey of the reservoir basin; (2) an erosion study that would combine the collection of traditional use and cultural preference information; (3) site investigations through excavation; and (4) an erosion monitoring study (BC Hydro 2009: 17, 20). The Comptroller of Water Rights (CWR) subsequently clarified that only nonintrusive heritage work could be included in an Order issued under the Water Act, thereby excluding any study that would require a permit under the Provincial Heritage Conservation Act. The Cultural Resources Monitoring Plan was then amended to exclude any investigations that involved excavation and/or disturbance of the surface layers (ibid).
