You have failed to answer. Which IPPs have salmon (except for Kokish)?<br /><br />There are about 100 IPPs (and 13,000 streams) in BC. Five of them are the main offenders in compliance. So shut them down.<br /><br />One of the main offenders (Lower Mamquam) is actually government owned and operated. It is not even an IPP. Government can get away with things that IPPs can never get away with, as this demonstrates.<br /><br />And then you fail to note that IPPs build spawning channels resulting in hundreds of thousands of fry being produced every year that make up well for the hundreds that may perish due to mishaps. These channels have been very successful and also help in feeding our exploding Grizzly bear population.<br />LMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-73560111038355252892013-10-31T21:49:42.785-07:002013-10-31T21:49:42.785-07:00You are a clueless you know what...

...You are a clueless you know what...<br /><br />Read this..<br /><br />_____________<br /><br />Media Release - January 23, 2013<br /><br />"FOI reveals massive non-compliance by independent power projects operating in the South Coast region in 2010<br /><br />VANCOUVER – A Freedom of Information request filed by the Wilderness Committee has revealed significant non-compliance at 16 independent power projects (IPPs) operating in the South Coast region of British Columbia in 2010.<br /><br />An internal report compiled by the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNR) revealed*:<br /><br /> 300+ instances of ramping non-compliance (Ramping refers to water levels being increased and decreased at an operating IPP. Ramping too quickly can strand and kill fish.)<br /> 290 cases involving failure to report non-compliance incidents<br /> 100 cases related to inadequate mitigation (e.g. rescuing fish after ramping events)<br /> 46 cases of non-compliance relating to inadequate instream flow requirements (IFR)<br /><br />The frank 2012 report highlights the “limited ability” of government officials to respond to non-compliance incidents at river diversion projects, and flags concerns with the variety of different IPP monitoring and reporting requirements. The stated purpose of the report was to “document the scope and causes of non-compliance at these facilities...and to develop recommendations for addressing the issue.”<br /><br />While the report looks at 16 different IPPs in the region, the majority of non-compliance incidents occurred at five facilities.<br /><br />“This report shows that the IPP industry is poorly regulated and is not in compliance with the regulations that do exist,” said Gwen Barlee, Policy Director for the Wilderness Committee. “This considerable degree of non-compliance requires immediate action and enforcement. It’s simply not acceptable to let this industry run itself – the impact to our rivers and fish is too great.”<br /><br />The report also draws attention to the impact of IPP non-compliance on fish. Due to poor industry monitoring, reporting and mitigation on incidents that impact fish, only 94 individual fish deaths were reported. In reality, the number of fish mortalities is likely much higher. The report emphasizes that the low number of mortalities reported should be considered “the minimum”.<br /><br />http://wildernesscommittee.org/press_release/700_instances_non_compliance_recorded_16_river_diversion_ipps<br /><br />___________<br /><br /><br />Go read, learn, stop blathering about items you are clueless about.<br /><br />Good DayGrant Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11944976348166120530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-20536745442707389522013-10-31T21:35:50.945-07:002013-10-31T21:35:50.945-07:00Grant G

Except for Kokish River which only a small part of the water is diverted so not to affect the salmon, show me another IPP that has salmon?<br /><br />Run of river are always above fish barriers so that salmon cant get up to them.<br />LMTAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2435367521078186829.post-68892853073524871682013-10-29T17:00:41.039-07:002013-10-29T17:00:41.039-07:00anonocrap sez:
