Background
§ Unprecedented increase in the scale and scope of development on the Shuswap Lake System.
§ Minimal base line bio-physical information for the
Shuswap Lake System to track changes over time, consider cumulative impacts and assist directing land / foreshore use planning.

Retaining Walls
>1,500 retaining walls - 60% of private properties
>50% below MAHWM
Majority of walls are for retaining upland fill and landscaping

Infilling
Few large infills but many small leading to cumulative impacts

Riparian Removal or Infill
Majority of new development would not comply with RAR standards
![Page 12: SLIPP All-Committee Meeting: Shoreline Update 12-April-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060204/559f64bd1a28aba0378b4657/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Upland Drainage Modifications
Often difficult to detect.
Drainages are important to shore spawning.

Removal of Emergent Vegetation
More chronic in small bay areas coinciding with high boat traffic.
Often associated with stripping of larger cobble beaches.

What is the Project?
• An inventory of all commercial/strata marinas, private docks and uDlity sites.
• InformaDon collected will focus on safety, environmental and social issues related to these works.
![Page 37: SLIPP All-Committee Meeting: Shoreline Update 12-April-2012](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060204/559f64bd1a28aba0378b4657/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Why?
• Data gathered may be used for various purposes:
1. To check for consistency with Sicamous Narrows management plan and legal documents authorizing the use and occupaDon of Crown land
2. Evaluate impacts to the environment. 3. Aid in future management strategies.
