They are repeating the same BS as they did last year when it first happened....which was nothing!
Which makes you realize just how little any government cares about any wildlife issues UNLESS it benefits them politically, like the Gbear ban.
As the news said, the time is now to correct the river, at least to the best possible.
Interesting thing, and I agree, as a river ages, it cuts deeper and deeper into the ground naturally.
The embankments are much higher. much more steeper and much more unstable.
I guess situations like this will happen more often so I think its best to start "perfecting" how to correct it for future reference.
Wont be the last time and probably more frequent.
Email from a Buddy:
Received this last night.
The Premier’s office organized a technical briefing late last year.
Essentially, about 275,000 fish made it past the slide, mainly by natural passage, with some 60,000 being transported, most of which were unlikely to spawn.
Early Stuart sockeye (<100 spawners out of 21,000), mid and Upper Fraser spring 1.3 chinook are at grave risk of extinction. Early summer and summer sockeye and mid-Fraser 1.3 summer chinook are at “considerable” risk of extinction. The slide is expected to prevent passage for most of the 2020 migration season.
The site is very remote (the slide went unnoticed for more than six months) requiring crews to scale the rock face for access and some 110,000 cubic metres of debris under the surface.
The goal of the Joint Command (DFO, FLNRO and FN) is to restore sustained natural passage. It has taken extensive advice from the Armed Forces, US Army Corps of Engineers, Rio Tinto and other mining and construction companies. Remediation work risks further slides.
With water flow dropping recently to under 600 cubic metres per second, the federal government has just contracted Peter Kiewit Sons ULC to remove rock and debris between now and March before spring freshet makes further operations impossible.
Some limited strategic enhancement took place in 2019 and is under consideration for 2020.
The consequences for all South Coast fisheries are likely to be severe.

I for one am not willing to spend 5¢ of taxpayers money on something that is an act of GOD and if it requires FN participation. It's all too easy for the FN to demand action where they are spending someone else's hard earned money. Maybe GOD will send a torrent of spring time runoff and clear the boulder mass away. Sorry, but that the way I see it.

Shouldve netted it down stream to block fish, blast the blockage and release the net,seems easy to me
Hey Justin , just make a phone call to the Donald have him set up a little drone practice on that rock side , quick easy fix .

Noting that the cold weather has hampered the efforts to deal with the slide, the new Fisheries Minister could not miss an opportunity to put a positive spin on the matter:
"It's just such an inaccessible area and it's been a gargantuan effort between the federal government the provincial government and First Nations," Donaldson said. "The relationships built between those three levels of government has been amazing."

Unfortunately if those words were true, we would be one hell of a lot further along in dealing with the matter...

by the time the three gov'ts get their relationship building exercise done and the contractor waits for nice weather and gets his fn'ing workers together, the time will be gone.
