4 Peace Water Use Plan Information Update Overview of the Peace Water Use Plan This overview provides a brief background on the history, scope and implementation of the Peace Water Use Plan. The Peace River System The headwaters of the Peace River, a tributary of the Mackenzie River, are located in north-eastern British Columbia (Figure 1). The Peace River is formed by the confluence of the Finlay and Parsnip Rivers flowing from opposite directions in the Rocky Mountain Trench. The W.A.C. Bennett Dam was completed in 1967 and formed the Williston Reservoir which covers approximately 1773 square kilometres (684.6 square miles) at full pool. The Peace Canyon Dam was constructed in 1980, is located at the foot of the Peace River canyon and forms the Dinosaur Reservoir. Dinosaur Reservoir covers approximately 9 square kilometres (3.5 square miles) at full pool. Figure 1: map of physical scope of Peace Water Use Plan October 2016 bchydro.com Page 1 of 4
5 Brief History of the Planning Process In 1998, the B.C. provincial government issued Water Use Plan Guidelines with an overall goal of finding a better balance between competing uses of water, such as domestic water supply, fish and wildlife, recreation, heritage, flood control and electrical power needs. The Water Use Plan Guidelines called for a multi-interest consultative process to understand public values and develop a preferred operating strategy. This process is described in the provincial Water Use Plan Guidelines (British Columbia, 1998). BC Hydro developed 23 Water Use Plans (WUPs) for 31 of its hydroelectric generation facilities through a robust value-analysis process including First Nation and multistakeholder engagement from 1999 and Subsequently, the Comptroller of Water Rights (Comptroller) issued Orders under the provincial Water Act. These Orders reflected the recommendations in the WUPs and directed BC Hydro to undertake site specific actions at each facility. Actions could include: Operating changes; Physical works projects to enhance recreation and wildlife habitat; and Multi-year monitoring studies. The WUPs and Orders recognize environmental, social and economic values in establishing the basis for facility operations. The WUPs are not intended to be comprehensive watershed management plans or to deal with water management issues associated with other activities in the watershed, such as forestry or mining. Aboriginal rights and title issues and historic grievances arising from the initial construction of the facilities are specifically excluded from WUPs. Compensation for the impacts to fish, wildlife and their supporting habitats from the construction of BC Hydro owned and operated generation facilities is provided through the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program. Water Use Planning for the Peace Project The Peace Water Use Plan Committee (Peace WUP Committee) met from February 2001 to May The Peace WUP process was designed to include all parties whose interests may be affected by the operation of the Peace hydroelectric facilities, including cultural/heritage values, fisheries, wildlife, dust, debris, recreation and power generation. The Peace WUP Committee included representatives from First Nations, local, provincial and federal governments, BC Hydro and public participants. The Peace WUP Committee was interested in finding the best balance between all interests. They compared the trade-offs associated with different ways of operating and October 2016 bchydro.com Page 2 of 4
6 considered physical works projects instead of changing operations to balance objectives. The Peace WUP Committee felt their ability to make decisions was limited by the availability of data, complexity of issues, large geographic scope of the system and two year time-frame to make a final decision. The Peace WUP Committee recommended monitoring studies to collect sufficient information to assist with future decisions on evaluating the different ways of operating and the effectiveness of physical works projects. The two year consultative process and consensus recommendations are summarized in the December 2003 Peace WUP Committee Report. BC Hydro reflected the recommendations of the Peace WUP Committee in the August 2007 Peace Water Use Plan. The proposed conditions would change the existing operations and were expected to positively affect fisheries and wildlife habitat, shoreline conditions, flood control, and recreation interests. The proposed conditions were also expected to decrease power generation revenues. The Peace WUP was reviewed by provincial and federal agencies and the Comptroller issued the Peace WUP Order (the Order) in August Implementation of the Peace WUP Order The Order directs the implementation of operational constraints and a program of monitoring studies and physical works projects. The physical works projects include improvements to reservoir access; marine radio service; debris removal; and fish and wildlife habitat enhancement projects. The monitoring studies assess the effectiveness of these physical works projects and in some cases, provide information about specific interests such as reservoir dust levels and impacts of spillway operations on fish, wildlife and their habitats. BC Hydro developed specific Terms of References (TOR) to define how each of the monitoring studies and physical works projects would be implemented. Some TORs were developed in collaboration with or reviewed by First Nations, government agencies or stakeholders. The Comptroller is required to approve each TOR for each project or study before implementation begins. Implementation of feasibility and monitoring studies began in 2008 and it is expected that all of the monitoring studies will be completed by Construction of boat ramps and physical works projects were completed between 2013 and The Peace WUP Annual Report provides regular updates on schedules, budgets and study reports. BC Hydro expects to spend approximately $64 million to implement the Order between 2008 and 2020 under the direction of the Comptroller. October 2016 bchydro.com Page 3 of 4
7 The Peace WUP Annual Report, TORs and study reports are available at Peace Water Use Planning. Interim Review of the Peace Water Use Plan The interim review of the Peace WUP was to evaluate the minimum operating elevation of Williston Reservoir as well as review results of monitoring studies and physical works projects. As directed under the Order, BC Hydro was required to implement a feasibility study to determine options for infrastructure issues associated with lower reservoir levels for the District of Mackenzie and the District s three forest industry mills. Industry and the District of Mackenzie reviewed the confidential reports in In May 2016, the Comptroller found that the feasibility study was complete and BC Hydro had met its obligations for the study under the Order. Following the Comptroller s decision, the minimum operating elevation for Williston Reservoir will remain unchanged at 2147 feet. The minimum operating elevation will not be a component of the interim Peace WUP review. Therefore, the review will focus solely on monitoring studies and physical works projects and is being done in the form of an Information Update in October Find more details in the Peace WUP Information Update Fact Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions online at Peace Water Use Plan Information Update.

8 Peace Water Use Plan Information Update Fact Sheet and Frequently Asked Questions Peace Water Use Plan Information Update BC Hydro has invited First Nations, government, and stakeholders to attend a Peace Water Use Plan Information Update in October The session will provide information and results to date on projects and monitoring studies related to the Peace Water Use Plan (Peace WUP). In an effort to maximize participation, BC Hydro is hosting two sessions for representatives to participate in the Information Update. The meetings will be held in Hudson s Hope on October 26 and Mackenzie, October 27. It is not necessary to attend both sessions. Information Update Objectives The purpose of the Information Update is to: share information on the history of the Peace WUP and the implementation process; answer questions you may have on the Peace WUP; provide information and results to date on various projects and monitoring studies related to the Peace WUP; and discuss selected projects and monitoring studies. The minimum operating elevation of Williston Reservoir will not be a component of the Peace WUP Information Update as BC Hydro is not pursuing any changes to the minimum operating elevation. Please see the Overview of the Peace WUP for details. In addition, there are other programs and interests associated with Williston Reservoir and Peace River outside of the Water Use Plan process including the Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program, Williston Dust Mitigation Program and Site C Clean Energy Project. These topics will not form part of the Information Update. We will use feedback from the sessions to better understand the interests and assess how we can improve the implementation of the monitoring studies. October 2016 bchydro.com Page 1 of 3
9 Information Update Focus The Information Update will include scheduled round table discussions on key projects under the Peace WUP including, dust trials and monitoring, the debris program, boat ramps and the marine radio system. In addition, there will be posters on display on the following: Williston Dust Trials and Monitoring; Williston Debris Program; Boat Ramps; Williston Marine Radio System; Archaeology Inventory and Monitoring; Williston Trial Tributaries; Williston Trial Wetlands; Spill Protocol Studies; Peace River Trial Side Channel; and WUP Overview. During the session, BC Hydro representatives will be available to answer questions or talk about the projects implemented under the Peace WUP Order. Preparing for the Session More information on the Peace Water Use Plan including monitoring study terms of reference and reports are available at BC Hydro s Water Use Planning. As well, there is an Overview of the Peace WUP and Project Summaries that have been developed to provide background information. These are available on Peace WUP Information Update.
