Re: B.C. Hydro/Powerex - Export Permits

I attach a copy of two letters recently sent to the National Energy
Board and the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, in
connection with the renewal of export permits and energy removal
certificates expiring this coming September, Of particular concern to
the City of Port Moody is the potential of increased use of Burrard
Thermal Generating Plant to produce electricity for export.

This City does nat consider that adequate information is available,
regarding the effect on the environment, the heaith of citizens, or
agriculture, for there to be a proper and informed decision by either
regulatory agency as to whether Burrard Thermal's use should be
permitted to increase, as is currently being proposed by

B.C, Hydro/Powerex, On the surface, the Powerex proposal is certainly
contrary to the Federal green plan for the reduction of greenhouse gas
emissions, |
