Environmental Assessment on Proposed Agreements to Resolve Revelstoke Reservoir Filling Issues and Access Reservoir Storage Space in British Columbia.
BPA has reviewed all aspects of the proposed agreements to resolve Revelstoke Reservoir filling issues and access reservoir storage space in British Columbia with B.C. Hydro and with the mid-Columbia project participants for compliance with legislative and executive mandates adopted to safeguard the integrity of the human environment. In review of the proposed agreements, BPA has not uncovered any unresolved conflicts over alternative uses of available resources. BPA has found that the nature and extent of the environmental consequences resulting from the agreements, which are primarily effects on river flows and fish, are not significant. No extraordinary, controversial, unique, or hazardous circumstances or conditions will be created or furthered by these agreements. Unless public and agency review of this assessment reveals information that impacts may be more significant than BPA's analysis projected, an environmental impact statement does not appear to be needed for the proposed agreements. Preparation of a Finding of No Significant Impact is recommended.
