Update:

Responding to the Environmental Screening Report for the Proposed Hydro-electric Generating Station at the Bala Falls

We are continuing our efforts on a number of fronts to have the review of the proposed power station at the Bala Falls elevated to an Individual Environmental Assessment. Over the past several months and years we've heard your passionate objections and thoughtful concerns regarding this project, and now is the time for you to be heard and only through our individual efforts will our concerns be heard.

THE BALA FALLS NEEDS YOUR HELP NOW!!


There are now only 20 more days to respond to the proponent's environmental screening report (so far, the proponent has rejected extending this review period, even when directly asked by our Councillor Mary Grady at the last District Council meeting).

Please take the time to write a letter to the Director of the Environmental Assessment and Approvals Branch   (details below) and let them know why the recently released Environmental Screening Report has not effectively mitigated your concerns regarding the project. We have summarized below the key areas of concern that we have identified so far, some of which will most certainly be also of critical concern to you.

There is information in our presentation   which was made to District Council last week by Jeff Mole, Alice Murphy and Mitchell Shnier, as well as in this follow-up letter   , and this additional detail   . The proponent has posted their environmental screening report   , and we have summarized some of our concerns on our web site, http://SaveTheBalaFalls.com
