LOWER MATTAGAMI HYDROELECTRIC COMPLEX REDEVELOPMENT
Ontario (ON)
February 21, 2007 (Update) --
Fisheries and Oceans Canada will conduct a comprehensive study commencing on February 5, 2007 of the project:
LOWER MATTAGAMI HYDROELECTRIC COMPLEX REDEVELOPMENT.
Ontario Power Generation (OPG) is proposing to redevelop the Lower Mattagami hydroelectric complex, located approximately 70 km northeast of Kapuskasing. Little Long, Harmon and Kipling generating stations will be expanded with the addition of a turbine/generator and the Smoky Falls site will be redeveloped to accommodate a new generating station. With this development proposal, OPG wishes to provide increased overall generating capacity as well as promote more efficient operation and use of water through the complex.
Under section 5 of the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act, an EA is required for this project because Fisheries and Oceans Canada may issue a permit or license under subsection 35(2) of the Fisheries Act and may issue a permit or license under section 32 of the Fisheries Act.
The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency will act as the Federal Environmental Assessment Coordinator for this environmental assessment.
