Author:
The Duncan Dam Water Use Plan consultative process was initiated in August 2001 and completed in April 2004. The purpose of this report is to document the consultative process and present the recommendations of the Duncan Dam Water Use Plan Consultative Committee. The interests and values expressed in this report will be used by BC Hydro to prepare a draft Water Use Plan for the Duncan Dam Project. Both the Duncan Dam Consultative Committee Report and BC Hydro’s Draft Water Use Plan will be submitted to the Comptroller of Water Rights.

Subsequent to the final Committee meeting, the Regional District of Central Kootenay Committee member withdrew his support for the Duncan Dam water use planning process. Also, on 9 November 2004, CPC forwarded a letter to BC Hydro stating that, relying on the Minister’s Letter of Direction and BC Hydro’s Letter of Commitment, Columbia Power Corporation, on behalf of the Columbia Power Corporation/Columbia Basin Trust ventures, can now accept the preferred Alternative S (73).
