La Joie and Bridge Water Licence Renewals Questions and Answers This document provides an overview of the Bridge River hydroelectric system facilities and answers questions specific to water licence renewals at the La Joie and Bridge facilities. More detailed information is available at bchydro.com/waterlicencerenewal. If you have any questions or comments about the renewals, in general or in relation to your property or interests, please contact us at 1 866 647 3334 or [email protected]. Q1 Where are the La Joie and Bridge facilities located? A1 ○ The La Joie and Bridge facilities, located north of Pemberton and west of Lillooet, are part of the Bridge River hydroelectric system which also includes the Seton facilities.

A2 ○ The Bridge River is impounded by La Joie Dam which forms Downton Lake Reservoir and Terzaghi Dam which forms Carpenter Lake Reservoir. ○ La Joie Dam is upstream of Terzaghi Dam and all releases from La Joie Dam are discharged into Carpenter Lake Reservoir either through the generating station or spill facility. ○ Releases from Carpenter Lake Reservoir can be diverted through Mission Mountain into Seton Lake via two separate intakes and tunnels feeding the Bridge 1 and Bridge 2 generating stations located on the shore of Seton Lake or, alternatively, be spilled at Terzaghi Dam directly into Lower Bridge River.

We are applying to renew these licences with the intent that all La Joie and Bridge licences with renewal dates have the same licence term moving forward. ○ We are not asking for changes to the existing licence conditions or facility footprints as part of the renewals. ○ The other licences identified above, as well as the two licences associated with the Seton facilities, do not need to be renewed as they do not have expiry dates. Q4 Do permits over Crown Land also have to be renewed? A4 ○ Yes, the permit over Crown Land associated with FWL126279 has to be renewed and the renewal is part of the water licence renewal process. Q5 Why does BC Hydro have multiple licences for the same purpose? A5 ○ We have multiple licences for the same purpose as the licences were issued at different times. Q6 What area is considered in the water licence renewal application? A6 ○ The area considered is the area with which each licence is associated (i.e., footprint) and the area where any potential effects associated with the specific licence up for renewal are anticipated to occur. Q7 Is there a Water Use Plan for the La Joie and Bridge Projects? A7 ○ Yes, both projects are included in the Bridge River Power Development Water Use Plan which was completed in March 2011, following a multi-stakeholder consultative process. This Water Use Plan also covered the Seton Projects. A copy of the Bridge River Water Use Plan is available at: bchydro.com/content/dam/hydro/medialib/ internet/documents/planning_regulatory/wup/lower_mainland/2011q2/bridge_river_wup_rev.pdf ○ The Water Use Plan Order issued by the Comptroller of Water Rights is one of the documents that guide operation of the system facilities. Q8 Who is BC Hydro consulting and engaging with regarding the La Joie and Bridge licence renewals? A8 ○ We are consulting and engaging with First Nations with an interest in the licences being renewed, regulatory agencies, and those who may be directly affected by the renewals as identified in theWater Sustainability Act (i.e., authorization and change approval holders and applicants, riparian or land owners whose land is likely to be physically affected if the renewal is granted). Q9 What is the schedule for the La Joie and Bridge renewals? A9 ○ Our schedule as of November 2019 is as follows: ○ Between fall 2016 and October 2018 we undertook consultation and engagement and prepared the Renewal Application (i.e., Water Development Plan and the online application forms). ○ We submitted our Renewal Application in October 2018 and, since that time, have been involved in the technical review phase. We plan to submit the findings of the technical review phase in late 2019. ○ The Comptroller of Water Rights will then begin a formal referral and review process. Additional information on the review process is available at: gov.bc.ca/gov/content/environment/air-land-water/ water/water-licensing-rights.

File no. BRGMON-1 April 2018 Lower Bridge River Aquatic Monitoring Year 6 (2017) Executive Summary A second year of high flow monitoring was conducted in 2017. The peak flow release from Terzaghi Dam was 127 m3∙s-1 and average flows for the year were 19 m3∙s-1. The high flow period began in the third week of May, peaked across the month of June, and was ramped back down by the third week of July (high flow duration = 59 days). Outside of the high flow period, the flow releases conformed to the Trial 2 hydrograph from the Lower Bridge River (LBR) flow experiment. Increases in the maximum Terzaghi Dam discharge were expected to have impacts on the aquatic ecosystem in the LBR. In both the short- and long-term, high flows were anticipated to affect periphyton accrual and biomass, benthic invertebrate abundance and diversity, and juvenile salmonid growth and abundance, related to disturbance and changes in habitat suitability associated with the high flows.
  • Preliminary Calibration of a Numerical Runout Model for Debris Flows in Southwestern British Columbia

    Preliminary Calibration of a Numerical Runout Model for Debris Flows in Southwestern British Columbia

    7th International Conference on Debris-Flow Hazards Mitigation Preliminary calibration of a numerical runout model for debris flows in Southwestern British Columbia Sophia Zubryckya,*, Andrew Mitchella, Jordan Aaronb, Scott McDougalla a Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences – University of British Columbia, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada bDepartment of Engineering Geology – ETH Zürich, Zürich, Switzerland Abstract Debris-flow hazard and risk assessments require reliable estimates of inundation area, velocity and flow depth to evaluate spatial impact and impact intensity. Semi-empirical numerical runout models that simulate bulk flow behavior with simple rheological models are useful in forecasting these parameters, however, they require calibration by back-analyzing past events. This paper presents the back-analysis of six debris flows in southwestern British Columbia using a novel automated calibration approach that systematically optimizes the Dan3D runout model to fit field observations. The calibration method yielded good simulations of runout length, but under-predicted flow depths in some cases, and over-predicted velocities in all cases. The best-fit Voellmy rheology parameters for the studied cases ranged from 46 to 531 m/s2 for the turbulence coefficient and 0.08 to 0.18 for the friction coefficient. There is a potential inverse correlation between friction coefficient and event volume. Calibrated parameters were compared to morphometric parameters for the study sites, which may be useful for guiding parameter selection once a larger dataset is calibrated. Ongoing work is focused on refining the calibration technique, including standardization of input parameters more relevant to debris flows. The long-term goal is to apply the technique to a larger dataset of debris-flow cases and provide practitioners with better guidance on the selection of model input parameters for forecasting purposes.

Describe the location. Online Discussion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHplxCMHmJc CRV Session Sketches, Summary & Topology Information contributed by Ronald Kuhn, Ohio, USA ----------- Seton Lake is a freshwater fjord draining east via the Seton River into the Fraser River at the town of Lillooet, British Columbia, about 22 km long and 243 m in elevation and 26.2 square kilometres in area.[1] Its depth is 1500 feet. The lake is natural in origin but was raised slightly as part of the Bridge River Power Project, the two main powerhouses of which are on the north shore of the upper end of the lake near Shalalth. At the uppermost end of the lake is the community of Seton Portage and the 1 mouth of the short Seton Portage River, which connects Anderson Lake on the farther side of the Portage to Seton Lake. Retrieved Mar. 1, 2015. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seton_Lake Image courtesy of Larry Bourne Sketch courtesy of Ronald Kuhn, CRV Intermediate Level Student The Bridge River hydroelectric complex consists of three dams and stores water for four generating stations. The system uses Bridge River water three times in succession to generate 492 megawatts, or 6 to 8 per cent of British Columbia's electrical supply. Hydroelectric development of the system began in 1927 and was completed in 1960. Its waters (Downton Reservoir) initially pass through the Lajoie Dam and powerhouse and are then diverted through tunnels and penstocks from Carpenter Reservoir to the two powerhouses on Seton Lake Reservoir.
