Importance of specifying Yellowhead Copper Mine location in terms of watersheds

        In Taseko's online documentation for the poposed Yellowhead copper mine proposal, the geographic location and detailed plan view can be seen on maps and is well described in the text, but very little mention is made regarding which major watershed or watersheds the proposal lies within. All land surfaces everywhere can be described as being within some watershed (drainage area) or other. Since watersheds can be described in a hierarchical way (tributaries of tributaries), It is necessary to choose the scope at which we define and describe a watershed. 

        I suggest that one might best describe the watersheds within the project footprint on the basis of direct tributaries of the North Thompson River. For example, it appears to me on a quick assessment of the mapping that that a significant portion of the project footprint lies within the watershed of the Barriere River and its tributaries. Whatever the case may be, I believe  a brief mention of which watershed or watersheds the proposal lies within should appear quite near the beginning of the text, such as in the introductory sections. I believe that a cetain amount of this kind of watershed-based understanding of the land in the area of the proposal will help people assess the potential impacts of the project.
