HMCS Chaudiere monitoring survey results : February 1994 / Kay Kim.: En40-241/94-01E-PDF

"On December 5 , 1992 the HMCS CHAUDIERE, a decommissioned destroyer escort, was sunk in Sechelt Inlet (Figure 1) by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia to create a scuba diving attraction. A baseline study consisting of water column analysis for trace metals, oil & grease, fibre analysis, and biological colonization of the vessel, was conducted on February 9, 1993 by Environment Canada (Ellis, 1993). Samples were taken with the co-operation of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Vancouver Sub-Division Dive Unit. A follow-up monitoring study was conducted on September 1 and 2, 1993 by Environment Canada. Due to concerns expressed by First Nations Band Council members in Sechelt regarding the perceived potential for shellfish contamination, a baseline sanitary water quality investigation was also conducted by Environment Canada between September 14 17, 1993. This report presents the results of the September studies"--Introduction.
