Site C panel finds significant adverse effects from dam plan

The Joint Review Panel concludes BC Hydro's Site C project would cause significant adverse effects on wildlife including the western toad and hawk, and on cultural heritage and First Nations fishing. It says the project offers long term energy needs but notes BC Hydro has not fully demonstrated need on the proposed timetable. CEAA funds Aboriginal communities for participation in the assessment. Federal decision expected within six months.

Lagoon Upgrade Plan Faces Planning Shortfalls

Officials say lack of planning led to lagoon upgrade issues from 1973 aeration, with Golder and Associates outlining six options in a 2013 report. Option 6B proposed draining and deepening three aerated cells to add capacity, aimed at meeting BC permit limits and WSER rules, at a cost over $5 million. Two soil tests in 2014 found the lagoons could not be deepened due to groundwater and other concerns.

Concrete Aerated Lagoon Chosen For District Upgrade

Engineers report rising lagoon seepage has lifted the water table. District staff and Golder consultants explored options, concluding that deepening existing cells is impossible. The plan moved to a two-cell concrete aerated lagoon, with space left for a second tank and geotechnical measures to counter settlement. Funding could allow completion this fall.
