Northwest Transmission Line Project
draft Terrms of Reference pdf (1.6 megs)
Public comment: Nov 13 - Dec 13/07 --- Both images from TOR

Socio-economic:– where jobs will be from etc in TOR

	Current Snow Pack site – Stay Tuned
	The image is for Tsai Creek (nearest station to PR) but is typical for most the stations in regional NW (4 of 4 looked at)---- and in area 3C – but not farther south Global warming implications?? Looks like locally precipitation as snow—can’t tell if more total precipitation increasing or just colder from this kind of data

Katabatic Wind farm projects

Banks Island North Wind Energy Project Recent PRDN story says Mt Hays project needs to go back to EAO office – but not yet on ‘current projects’ page Most recent update for Banks Island project (Nov 9^th) says needs to expand acreage to East and South but that area not delineated as yet (March 2008?) Katabatic Nov 7^th update on Mt Hays & Banks wind farms – where hire Engineering firm --- note how Katabatic press release speaks of 3000 megawatts (not previous 700) and talks about 40T hectare Banks ‘property’(all the while looking to export green power to US)

But from this Living Oceans Kelp inventory – looks like the South of Stephens better option Rockfish Conservation Areas Feb 2007 (North Coast)

NaiKun Wind Generation Facility (EAO)

The Project Draft TOR online (only 484 KB PDF) --- on the comments page some interesting public inputs – will buried underwater transmission line to mainland affect crab migrations (electromagnetic fields etc) And what about those ‘buried lines’ these red areas are current Rockfish Conservation areas – from that perspective looks like Northern Porcher Island route better choice --- but it is ‘richer’ area

Previous stories this site Katabatic August 10^th update of all local leases July 9^th update on Mt Hays May 22^nd update Feb 2006 – Stock play? Previous NaiKun Was in PR before City Council in 2002 At that time I suggest a stock play On the May 22^nd update	Index to page
	Current Snow Pack (Global warming? 2006 was record year regionally for snow pack) BC Env Assessment projects (some with public comments still open) NW Transmission Line Draft TOR till Dec 13^th Katabatic Wind Farms – both going back to change TOR NaiKun --- Cable corridor raises questions
