AT RED PASS (1984 – 2004)Water Quality Monitoring Agreement • May 1st, 2007
Contract Type FiledMay 1st, 2007The Fraser River flows through a vast portion of the southern half of British Columbia, from the Rocky Mountains to the Pacific Ocean. The water quality monitoring site at Red Pass (located just below Moose Lake in the headwaters of the Fraser River) is the first of five long-term monitoring stations on the Fraser River. The remaining four monitoring sites are located at Hansard, Stoner, Marguerite, and Hope. This site represents a relatively pristine monitoring station, with no significant anthropogenic activity occurring upstream from this location. The primary purpose of the site is to provide an indication of ambient conditions that can be compared with water quality at downstream sites. The water quality trends identified below have not yet been confirmed by statistical analysis.
