When dealing with invasive plant species, prevention, early detection and eradication is the most effective means of management. For Site C, BC Hydro has developed plans for invasive plant control on construction work sites and will coordinate control and monitoring activities with contractors.
The latest employment statistics show that there were 2,124 total workers on the Site C project in January 2017. Of the total workers, 81% were from British Columbia.
Remediation work is underway on the 400-metre tension crack.
Independent Joint Review Panel concluded Site C will have no measurable effect on Peace-Athabasca Delta, which is located 1,100 km away.
The Site C reservoir will be one of the most stable in the BC Hydro system with relatively little fluctuation in water levels during typical operations. Far downstream of the Site C project at the Peace-Athabasca Delta (PAD) – approximately 1,100 kilometres away – Site C will have no measurable effect.
BC Hydro set a new daily record for power consumption earlier this year as cold winter weather increased the demand for electricity.
