Environment
July 27, 2009
Context Statement:
Our region is home to a unique combination of ecosystems that make up our rich natural landscape. The environment is an important element of our regional identity and a key source of recreation and leisure. The quality of our air, water, and other natural environment is also closely linked to the health and wellness of our region’s residents.
List of Proposed Indicators:
- Number of boil water advisories outside of the SCRD system
- Water use during the peak usage times in summer
- Household recycling rate* (and household waste rates); if these are unavailable proxy indicators can include recycling/waste per capita
- Fecal coliform point-in-time counts
- Greenhouse gas emissions
