| Comments on Draft Terms of Reference for Juliet Creek-Coquihalla Pass Resort |
| The comments from RCABC to the Environmental Assessment Office are linked below. They basically state that the Nicola/Coldwater system is in such a state of crisis that any development that may affect the watershed should be suspended until further studies are done. |

| Juliet Creek: Public Input until April 17th |
| The draft Terms of Reference for the Juliet Creek Resort proposal in the Nicola Watershed are now posted on the Environmental Assessment Office's website. Public input is welcome from March 17th to April 17th, 2006. The invitation for public input is linked below. The project is detailed at EAO's website: www.eao.gov.bc.ca. The primary environmental concerns are the effects of ground or surface water consumption on downstream flows (Coldwater and Nicola Rivers). Other concerns are water quality (golf course and human effluent), habitat loss and green house gas emission reductions. Contact the email address below if you have any questions. |

| Resort Proposed in Nicola Watershed |
| A large ski and golf resort is proposed in the Juliet Creek drainage, which is east of the toll booth on the Coquihalla highway. Juliet Creek is a primary tributary to the Coldwater, which is a major tributary to the Nicola River. Because the Nicola has had extreme low water flow issues, many people are concerned that the proposed resort will reduce flows even further, and that the provincial environmental assessment process would not consider downstream effects on the Nicola watershed adequately. The BC EAO homepage has a projects list link, which will lead you to the Juliet Cr. proposal under "Large Tourist Resorts". |
