In addition to producing data, the Streamkeeper/BCIT monitoring project also specifically aims to support recommendations regarding road-salt application for roads that are varying distances from streams (based on conductivity trends/spikes); and the Secondary-school monitoring project specifically aims to spread awareness and facilitate public education regarding human impact on the environment (specifically the impact of road salt application on freshwater ecosystems / salmonids).\r\n","short_description":"Description: The Stoney Creek Environment Committee (SCEC) Road Salt and Salmon Project is a two-part (monitoring and experiment) project investigating the effects of road salt contamination on salmon","slug":"stoney-creek-environment-committee","primary_country":"Canada","state":"BC","nearest_town_city":"Burnaby","street_address":"PO Box 56522 Lougheed Mall PO\r\nBurnaby BC, \r\nV3J 7W2","contact_details":"Alan James, BSc, MA\r\nMember at Large - Education, Stoney Creek Environment Committee\r\n","email":"acjames76@gmail.com","phone":"","website":"http://scec.ca"}
