March 16, 2012 | On December 2, 2011, Manitoba Hydro filed an EIS for the Bipole III Transmission Project: A Major Reliability Initiative (the Project). The Project is required to ensure the reliability and security of Manitoba’s transmission and power supply system. It involves: the construction of a new 500 kV high-voltage DC transmission line; two new converter stations (Keewatinoow in the north and Riel in the south); 230 kV collector transmission lines; and, two ground electrodes with connections to the converter stations. Prior to submitting the EIS, Manitoba Hydro engaged in a detailed Site Selection and Environmental Assessment (SSEA) process. The SSEA included four rounds of consultation in order to obtain public input before selecting a final preferred route. The EIS was prepared in accordance with an Environmental Assessment Scoping Document which was approved by Manitoba Conservation in June 2010. Results of the SSEA, the environmental field studies and the project assessment are provided in the EIS. |
