This is not a picture of a dam

Click here for a recent picture of the construction site on the Ashlu River.
This clearly does not fit any definition of a "run of river" project. This is a dam, and the Upper Ashlu Valley will be flooded.
This is a highly productive salmon river. The autumn rains have yet to begin and the situation at the two construction sites to prevent erosion look questionable.

BC's # 1 HYDRO FACT
Monday, 06 August 2007 05:48
British Columbian's are losing control of their water and water powered electric energy system, quickly and quietly.
Hundreds of people have “taken action” to save the Upper Pitt River and Pinecone-Burke Park. They have emailed Environment Minister Barry Penner and told him not to allow the Upper Pitt private power projects to go forward. As well, hundreds of British Columbians have asked their local Mayors and Councillors to support a call for a two-year moratorium on granting water licenses on BC Rivers for private power production.
Please join the growing number of British Columbians who want to save the rivers from private power development. All you have to do is take five minutes and visit the Take Back the Power website and follow the easy steps. It really only takes five minutes and will help to keep the Upper Pitt pristine and home to numerous types of wild salmon for years and years to come.
