RFP - Environmental Monitoring for Boat Launches, Columbia Power Corp

Background

Power's primary mandate is to undertake power project investments, as the agent of the 
Province, on a joint venture basis with the Columbia Basin Trust. The purchase of the

Expansion Project (BRX) - began in the spring of 2003, and was completed in the summer of 
2007. Arrow Lakes Generating Station (ALH) and the Waneta Expansion Project (WAX) 
(currently under construction) represent the third and fourth venture. Columbia Power has 
also entered into a Memorandum of Understanding to assist BC Hydro with the completion 
commitments made during BC Hydro's Columbia River Water Use Planning process for the

- develop final designs and construct the Edgewood public access facility.
