CLBMON-3 Kinbasket and Revelstoke Reservoirs Ecological Productivity Monitoring 2009 Progress Report 2.0 Study Team The study team (Table 1) met on November 6, 2009, to discuss progress on the management questions and evaluate the sampling program and initial results from 2008 and 2009. The monitoring program is being implemented in a phased approach in conjunction with the Kinbasket-Revelstoke Reservoirs Kokanee Population Monitoring program (CLBMON-2). Sampling is planned on a 4-year cycle, thereby taking advantage of information gained in each sampling period to define the data needs for future years. Each phase will conclude with a synthesis report with an annual progress report prepared in intervening years. The first phase of the study is focussing on the hydrology and nutrient budget and general biological data. Reservoir sampling stations were selected based on previous work, information needs, and logistical considerations. Table 1: Study team members and affiliation, 2009. Study Team Member Affiliation Karen Bray, Project Manager/Biologist BC Hydro, Water Licence Requirements Dr. Ken Ashley, Principal Ashley and Associates Dr. Roger Pieters, Associate Professor BC Hydro Water Licence Requirements University of British Columbia, Dept. of Earth and Ocean Sciences Dale Sebastian, Ecosystems Biologist Ministry of Environment, Ecosystems Branch Eva Schindler, Fertilization Limnologist Ministry of Environment, Environmental Stewardship, Fish and Wildlife Shannon Harris, Limnologist Ministry of Environment, Ecosystems Branch Implementation of this study continues to follow the approach of using a combination of in house and external resources. Overall project management and field work is conducted using in house BC Hydro resources and external expertise is secured to provide analysis and reporting for specific components (Table 2). In 2009, analysis of primary production was assumed by the Ministry of Environment under a Collaborative Agreement with BC Hydro and Shannon Harris joined the Study Team. Table 2.

Depth profile data for May 2009 were not collected as the equipment had not yet been returned from calibration by the manufacturer (Table 3). This progress report presents a study overview followed by individual progress reports for the hydrology, water quality, and biological components of the 2009 sampling year. More specific information is contained in these reports. A synthesis report is scheduled for Year 4 (2012). 2
