Site C Clean Energy Project

TyPlan supported BC Hydro as an expert witness for the Site C Clean Energy Project Joint Panel Review. TyPlan prepared Section 26 of the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Navigation and Aviation for the proposed hydro project. Subsequent to submission of the EIS TyPlan participated in the Federal Provincial Joint Panel Review hearings in Fort St. John.

In Table 26.1, of the EIS the key issues related to navigation and aviation were organized according to the key aspects of the project’s potential effects, which included:

Change in navigability and navigational use
Change or presence of navigational hazards in the waterway
Changes that result in restrictions to navigation, their rationalization, and the approach to public and navigational safety use
Changes associated with visibility of structures and overhead wiring on aviation
Changes on microclimate on aviation
Changes to Shaftesbury and Tomkins Landing ice bridges
