16
Presentation Objectives
Describe the importance of shoreline areas to the Shuswap Lake
system
Describe the expectations of SLIPP members for work in and near
shorelines of the Shuswap Lake system

17
What are shoreline areas?
Shoreline areas include:
• Foreshore areas between the high water mark and the edge of the littoral zone
(approximated by the 6 m depth contour at low water)
• Riparian areas within 30 m of the high water mark
With rare exceptions, foreshore areas are Crown land and a public resource,
not private property
Floodplain areas are important for water quality, fish and wildlife habitat
and flood control
Shoreline areas are the most sensitive and heavily utilized part of the lake

18
What makes for a healthy shoreline?
Features of Healthy,
Sustainable Shorelines
• Functional riparian areas
• Functional wetland and floodplain
areas
• Functional fish and wildlife
habitats
• Safe drinking water intakes
• Effective waste and storm water
management

Shoreline Management Process for BC Lakes
versus
Step 1
Foreshore Inventory and Mapping: Provides a biophysical and habitat modification
inventory of the shoreline
Step 2
Aquatic Habitat Index: Provides an environmental sensitivity analysis of the shoreline,
using existing biological data (e.g., shore spawning locations) and the FIM database
Step 3
Shoreline Management Guidelines: Provide design and assessment standards for
development activities based on the level of risk they pose to natural shoreline
features

30
FIM and the AHI are a Spatial Inventory
versus

31
versus
What are they?
• Guidance to proponents, professionals, contractors, agencies and other stakeholders
regarding design and assessment standards for development activities that may
affect fish habitat
• A tool for inter-agency planning and streamlining of development applications
What are the benefits?
• Allow low risk development activities to proceed without fish habitat review
provided best practices are applied.
• Allow moderate risk development activities to proceed without fish habitat review
provided a qualified professional certifies no harm to fish habitat
• Provide a coherent and predictable process for planning and undertaking works that
may affect fish habitat on the Shuswap Lake system

Important Considerations
• Operational Statements and Best Management Practices rely on proven mitigative
measures and/or professional oversight to prevent harm to fish habitat
• As an engineer or geoscientist, you are to ensure that your designs consider fish and fish
habitat values at the work location. If in doubt, include a QEP on the project team
• As a QEP, you are expected to have working knowledge of fish and fish habitat values,
environmental impact assessment standards and mitigation practices and to certify that
proposed works will not cause harm to fish or fish habitat unless a Fisheries Act
authorization will be sought
• Important Considerations
• Have you considered important fish and fish habitats identified in the FIM?
• Have you met minimum information standards for the various SLIPP agency’s
notification, review or authorization?

Indicators of lakeshore erosion include large areas of bare soil and steep, high banks at the high water mark (HWM), noticeable
recession of the HWM over a period of time, leaning or downed trees with exposed roots at the HWM, large patches of muddy
water at the lake margin during high water and large deposits of eroded soil on the lakeshore following high water.
2
Erosion-related risks include loss of property and damage or loss of nearshore structures.
3
Maintenance of an existing work is limited to replacement of less that one half of an existing erosion control structure on its
existing foundation and must not include any lakeward extension of the existing structure or backfill.
4
On Shuswap Lake, the 1-in-5 year flood level has been calculated to correspond with an elevation of 348.7 m GSC. For Little
Shuswap and Mara Lakes, the 1-in-5 year flood level has been extrapolated as 348.0 m GSC and 348.8 m GSC, respectively.

47
5
Many lakeshore erosion protection options are available, including planting of native trees and shrubs, planting of native trees and shrubs
through a biodegradable erosion control blanket, planting of native trees and shrubs within the joints of a rock matrix and hard armouring
techniques. Additional information is provided in the BC Ministry of Environment document Best Management Practices for Lakeshore
Stabilization (see http://www.env.gov.bc.ca/wld/documents/bmp/BMPLakeshoreStabilization_WorkingDraft.pdf)

Draft Integrated Land Management Bureau Thompson Okanagan Strata - Commercial Moorage Guidelines include the following walkout/dock
dimensions and shoreline proximity standards:
o Floating portions of the dock must be located offshore of the 6 meter depth contour at mean annual low water.
o Access to floating portions of the dock must be achieved by a single elevated fixed deck and ramp that must not exceed 1.5 meters in width. At a
minimum, the base of the elevated fixed deck must be located at least 1 meter above the lake 1-in 5 year flood level. The remainder of the dock
surface must not exceed 3 meters in width for any other portion of the dock.
o Supported dock structures must use widely spaced wooden or steel piles that are made of non-toxic materials (solid core docks will not be allowed).
Do not use pressure treated wood.

58
5
DFO supports proponents receiving term and tenure-type considerations from ILMB where a fish
or fish habitat review is not required for proposed works or where an applicant has received a
letter of advice from DFO related to proposed moorage works. To ensure protection of fish
habitat and meet present-day best practice standards, all new, renewal and replacement tenures
for commercial and strata moorages will be subject to this flow chart process.
