The shareholders of the Red Willow Wind Power Corporation are Boralex Inc. (Boralex) and Aeolis Wind Power Corporation (Aeolis). The Red Willow Wind LP is proposing to develop the Red Willow Wind Project (the Project), an approximately 200 megawatt (MW) wind energy facility in the Peace River region of British Columbia (BC). The Project is located southeast of the District of Tumbler Ridge (Appendix A, Figure 1) and within the territory of the Treaty 8 First Nations. Since the proposed Project will have a capacity greater than 50 MW, it is considered reviewable under Section 10 of the Reviewable Projects Regulation of the British Columbia Environmental Assessment Act (BCEAA), SBC 2002, c.43, which states that any new energy facility that has a nameplate capacity greater than or equal to 50 MW is subject to review by the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO). The Project does not meet requirements for federal review as listed in the CEAA 2012 Regulations Designating Physical Activities (SOR/2012-147) under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, 2012 (CEAA 2012), SC 2012, c. 19, s. 52. This project description is submitted to the EAO to provide general information on the proposed Project and assist the EAO in making a determination regarding the need for an Environmental Assessment (EA) of the Project pursuant to Section 10 of the BCEAA. This document follows the EAO guidelines for preparing a project description (EAO 2013). 1 2 Proponent Information 2.1 BORALEX INC.

  • Wapiti River Water Management Plan Summary
    Wapiti River Water Management Plan Summary Wapiti River Water Management Plan Steering Committee February 2020 Summary The Wapiti River basin lies within the larger Smoky/Wapiti basin of the Peace River watershed. Of all basins in the Peace River watershed, the Wapiti basin has the highest concentration and diversity of human water withdrawals and municipal and industrial wastewater discharges. The Wapiti River Water Management Plan (the Plan) was developed to address concerns about water diversions from the Wapiti River, particularly during winter low-flow periods and the potential negative impacts to the aquatic environment. In response, a steering committee of local stakeholders including municipalities, Sturgeon Lake Cree Nation, industry, agriculture, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans Canada, and the Mighty Peace Watershed Alliance (MPWA), supported by technical experts from Alberta Environment and Parks (AEP), was established. The steering committee initiated the development of a water management plan that includes a Water Conservation Objective (WCO) and management recommendations for the Wapiti River basin from the British Columbia border to its confluence with the Smoky River. A WCO is a limit to the volume of water that can be withdrawn from the Wapiti River, ensuring that water flow remains in the river system to meet ecological objectives. The Plan provides guidance and recommendations on balancing the needs of municipal water supply, industry uses, agriculture and other uses, while maintaining a healthy aquatic ecosystem in the Alberta portion of the Wapiti River basin. Wapiti River Water Management Plan | Summary 2 Purpose and Objectives of the Plan The Plan will be provided as a recommendation to AEP and if adopted, would form policy when making water allocation decisions under the Water Act, and where appropriate, under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act by establishing a WCO for the Wapiti River.

MARTS** The Skagit-High Ross Controversy: Negotiation and Settlement SETTING AND BACKGROUND The Skagit River is a short but powerful stream which rises in the mountains of southwestern British Columbia, cuts through the northern Cascades in a spectacular and once-remote mountain gorge, and empties into Puget Sound approximately sixty miles north of Seattle. The beautiful mountain scenery of the heavily glaciated north Cascades was formally recognized in the United States by the creation of the North Cascades National Park and the Ross Lake National Recreation Area in 1968, and earlier in British Columbia by creation of the E.C. Manning Provincial Park. The Ross Lake Recreation Area covers the narrow valley of the upper Skagit River in Washington and portions of several tributary valleys. It was created as a political and, to environmentalists who wanted national park status for the entire area, controversial, compromise which accom- modated the city of Seattle's Skagit River Project and the then-planned North Cascades Highway.

  • Wapiti River and Tributary Flows 1968-2010 Introduction the Wapiti River Environmental Flow Needs Study Requires Naturalized
    Ernst Kerkhoven, July 2014 Wapiti River and Tributary Flows 1968-2010 Introduction The Wapiti River Environmental Flow Needs study requires naturalized and regulated stream flow data sets for the Wapiti River and its major tributaries. In this case, the naturalized flow data set only considers the impacts of historical licensed withdrawals and returns to the watershed. The area of interest is the Wapiti River from upstream of the mouth of Pinto Creek to the confluence of the Wapiti and Smoky Rivers. Key identified tributaries are: Pinto Creek, Redwillow River, Bear River (also known as Bear Creek), and Big Mountain Creek. The Beaverlodge River, which is a tributary of the Redwillow River, is also of key interest. Historical Water Survey of Canada stream flow data is available for Pinto Creek, Redwilow River, Bear River, and Beaverlodge River. Although the period of record for Bear River is short, there is a much longer record for water levels in Bear Lake that can be used to estimate Bear River flows. The only mainstem WSC station used in this study is the Wapiti River near Grande Prairie, which has been in continuous operation since 1960. Because flows are needed at several locations along the mainstem of the Wapiti River as well as from tributaries, the time period of this study is limited to March 1968 (the first date for which tributary flows are available) and December 2010 (the last date for which flow data is available for Wapiti River near Grande Prairie). Methodology The flow data sets were derived by the following Methodology:

  • Five Easy Pieces on the Strait of Georgia – Reflections on the Historical Geography of the North Salish Sea
    FIVE EASY PIECES ON THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA – REFLECTIONS ON THE HISTORICAL GEOGRAPHY OF THE NORTH SALISH SEA by HOWARD MACDONALD STEWART B.A., Simon Fraser University, 1975 M.Sc., York University, 1980 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE AND POSTDOCTORAL STUDIES (Geography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2014 © Howard Macdonald Stewart, 2014 Abstract This study presents five parallel, interwoven histories of evolving relations between humans and the rest of nature around the Strait of Georgia or North Salish Sea between the 1850s and the 1980s. Together they comprise a complex but coherent portrait of Canada’s most heavily populated coastal zone. Home to about 10% of Canada’s contemporary population, the region defined by this inland sea has been greatly influenced by its relations with the Strait, which is itself the focus of a number of escalating struggles between stakeholders. This study was motivated by a conviction that understanding this region and the sea at the centre of it, the struggles and their stakeholders, requires understanding of at least these five key elements of the Strait’s modern history. Drawing on a range of archival and secondary sources, the study depicts the Strait in relation to human movement, the Strait as a locus for colonial dispossession of indigenous people, the Strait as a multi-faceted resource mine, the Strait as a valuable waste dump and the Strait as a place for recreation / re-creation. Each of these five dimensions of the Strait’s history was most prominent at a different point in the overall period considered and constantly changing relations among the five narratives are an important focus of the analysis.

THE CANADA-UNITED STATES CONTROVERSY OVER THE COLUMBIA RIVERf RALPH W. JOHNSON* In a comprehensive study of the recent dispute between Canada and the United States over the Columbia River, Professor Johnson traces its history through the birth of the Harmon doctrine in 1898, the signing of the Boundary Waters Treaty in 1909, and the first Canadianclaim to downstream benefits in the early 1950's. Against this background, he analyzes the negotiations and events-particu- larly the Canadianproposals to divert the Columbia into the Fraser, and to develop the Peace River instead of the Columbia-that culmi- nated in the Columbia River Treaty in 1961. Before Canadian ratification of the Treaty, however, additional problems presented by the split between the Provincial and National governments had to be resolved. Their resolution brought about the signing of a Protocol with the United States in 1964, as well as ratification of the Treaty.
