the absence of any reassessment of its continuing impact on
the surrounding environment:

Thermal so that the 962.5 megawatt plant, which on average
has operated at less than 20% of its capacity, will finally be
able to operate at full capacity;

AND WHEREAS B.C. Hydro has not applied for an Energy
Project Certificate (EPC) from the Provincial government
which is required for any planned increase in generating
capacity greater than 20 megawatt:

thorough assessmeni of physical, biological and social
impacts, proposals for reducing these impacts, project
justification and public consultation;

gases), a greenhouse gas of which the Greater Vancouver

Province);
