Abstract
A small hydro project, consisting of a 500 kilowatt turbine and a rock weir, was proposed for the community of Stanley Mission, Saskatchewan. It was to serve as an experiment to demonstrate the feasibility of this type of installation. Despite initial acceptance by local residents, opposition developed when some minor changes were introduced to the final design. A provincial Board of Enquiry subsequently recommended against the project, but suggested that an alternate, more acceptable location be sought for this prototype.
On a proposé une petite centrale, formée d’une turbine de 500 KW et d’un barrage de roc pour le village de Stanley Mission en Saskatchewan. On voulait en faire un projet pilote pour démontrer la faisabilité de ce type d’installations. Ce projet, d’abord bien accepté par la population locale, a rencontré une certaine opposition après qu’on ait apporté des modifications mineures au plan final. Une Commission d’enquête provinciale s’est ensuite prononcée contre ce projet, mais recommenda qu’on cherche un site de remplacement plus acceptable pour ce prototype.
