Harrison East Road Report for Dec 3/14?

I was up there yesterday, couldn't pass the construction at 48 k. Went other places.

Regarding messing B.C. up, last I checked it was the current Liberal government that approved those projects. I wonder who voted for them?

As far as the workers there go, I didn't have time to interview each one for his position on the sovereignty question. Had to go hunt elsewhere.

VICTORIA - Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. has received environmental assessment (EA) Certificates for the proposed Tretheway Creek, Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek Waterpower Projects.
Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. develops, owns and operates run-of-river hydroelectric facilities, wind farms and solar photovoltaic parks. Innergex carries out operations in Quebec, Ontario and British Columbia, as well as in Idaho. The company has been involved in the renewable power industry since 1990. Currently, Innergex operates 18 run-of-river plans, nine of which are in B.C.
Environment Minister Terry Lake and Energy and Mines Minister Rich Coleman made the decision to grant the EA Certificates after considering the review led by B.C.'s Environmental Assessment Office (EAO).
The proposed projects, totalling an estimated $194-million, will be located on Tretheway Creek, Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek in the Harrison Lake area of the Fraser Valley Regional District. Once operational, the projects will produce up to 72 megawatts of run-of-river hydroelectric energy, enough to power 27,500 homes per year.
The projects will include 3.25 kilometres of new and upgraded roads and a 47-kilometre, 138-kilovolt transmission line from the existing Tipella Creek Waterpower Project to the Shovel Creek Waterpower project. The completed projects will generate no greenhouse gas emissions.
BC Hydro awarded Electricity Purchasing Agreement (EPA) for the projects in March 2010. Under the conditions of the EPAs, the Commercial Operational Date (electricity delivery date to the BC Hydro grid) is December 2015 for Tretheway Creek and November 2016 for Shovel Creek and Big Silver Creek.
The EAO assessment report concluded that the projects are not expected to result in any significant adverse effects, based on the mitigation measures and conditions of the EA Certificate.
The provincial EA certificates contain project design features, mitigation measures and numerous legally binding conditions that Innergex Renewable Energy Inc. must adhere to throughout various stages of the project.
