Abstract/Description or Keywords The Bridge Coastal Restoration Program (BCRP) addresses footprint fish and wildlife
impacts in 15 watersheds affected by BC Hydro operations in the Bridge Coastal Generation
area, including impacts to fish passage. In 2001 BC Hydro completed a project to assess the
viability of providing anadromous fish passage at facilities in the Bridge Coastal Generation
area (Bengeyfield et al. 2001). The current report documents the background information
pertinent to an assessment of fish passage, and the progress achieved during the period April
1 2005 and March 31 2006. This project was not completed because additional information
is required to ensure that appropriate decision are made on which, if any, fish passage
opportunities should be pursued. However, this report documents progress to date. aquatic habitat
