Monitoring

Monitoring activities are consistent with licensing, regulatory approvals and requirements set out in the Wuskwatim PDA.  Monitoring began even before construction to establish baseline conditions for use in measuring potential construction and operations impacts. 

During construction, rigorous monitoring was conducted on all phases of the project (access road construction, site preparation and dam construction). With the generating station now operating, the monitoring program has evolved to focus on potential operations-related components to determine if the station is having any long-term environmental impacts upstream or downstream, on lands along the access road and around the station site.
