Science Response 2008/008
Assessment of the marine environment monitoring program for the Eastmain-Rupert-1-A project
Context
When the federal permit was issued for the Hydro-Quebec’s Eastmain 1-A hydroelectric power station and Rupert River diversion project, some guidelines were sent to the proponent so that monitoring programs be carried out to assess the environmental impacts of implementing this project. The Fish Habitat Management Branch (FHMB) is soliciting the Science Branch to validate two of these marine environment monitoring programs. These monitoring programs involve the assessment of total organic carbon (TOC) and changes in salinity in Rupert Bay. The FHMB would like to know if the proposed monitoring programs are acceptable (e.g. schedule, methodology) to verify predictions and whether any changes or additions are required. The request was sent to the Science Advice, Information and Support Branch (SAISB) on March 14, 2008, and a response was required by April 15, 2008.
