| Abstract/Description or Keywords |
The operating conditions proposed in this Water Use Plan reflect the consensus recommendations of the Spillimacheen Water Use Plan Consultative Committee. The basis for the proposed terms and conditions to be authorized under the Water Act for the beneficial use of water at the Spillimacheen hydroelectric project are set out in this document. Future reference to the Spillimacheen project includes the following: Spillimacheen Dam and headpond and Spillimacheen generating station and tailrace. The proposed conditions will result in minor changes to current operations, which are expected to benefit fish. A monitoring program is also proposed in order to study key uncertainties to enable improved operating decisions in the future. Refer to the Spillimacheen Water Use Plan: Consultative Committee Report dated August 2003 for details on the consultative process, interests, objectives, performance measures, key trade-offs, values associated with operating alternatives, expected benefits and the proposed monitoring program. A review period has also been specified for this Water Use Plan. |
