How will the Walleye spawning beds be affected?
NEGATIVELY! – Local clubs and Ministry of Natural Resources officials confirm that spawning beds are present directly in the path of the tailrace (the outflow) of the proposed powerhouse. This construction phase of this project would completely destroy the Moon River Walleye spawning beds (a huge coffer dam needs to be constructed there and would result in that entire area being dry to the riverbed so the power station can be built). Swift River stubbornly denies the existence of these Walleye spawning beds (well, they would certainly prove this after they were finished!).
