Will the proposed Pehonan River run-of-river hydroelectric facility affect the river’s fish populations?
The protection of fish populations in the Saskatchewan River watershed is a high priority for the partnership. Project design, construction and operation will be conducted in a manner that maintains fish habitat and aquatic productivity. We will work closely with federal and provincial agencies, First Nations and stakeholder groups throughout the project planning and assessment stages to ensure that all potential environmental impacts are identified and addressed during project design and implementation.
