Abstract/Description or Keywords The water use planning review process for BC Hydro’s Alouette Project was initiated in May
2005 and completed in August 2006. It involved a review of all data collected since
implementation of the September 1996 Alouette Project Water Use Plan, an assessment of new
knowledge in the basin, including changes in resource values, and a refinement in proposed
conditions for the operation of BC Hydro’s Alouette Project.
The proposed conditions in the 2009 Water Use Plan for the operation of BC Hydro’s Alouette
facilities reflect the consensus recommendations of the August 2006 Alouette Project Water Use
Plan Review Consultative Committee Report. These conditions, once accepted by the
Comptroller of Water Rights, will replace operations previously governed by a Section 39 Order
issued October 3, 1997 based on the September 25th, 1996 Alouette Water Use Plan.
BC Hydro thanks all of those who participated in the process that led to the production of the
Water Use Plan for their effort and dedication.
The proposed conditions for the operation of BC Hydro’s Alouette Project facilities will not
come into effect until implemented under the British Columbia Water Act. water supply
