Current and Ongoing Projects:

Bear Mountain Wind Power Project

2007-2009
BV Land Consulting Ltd. and Northern Rockies Environmental Ltd. are presently working on the Bear Mountain Wind Power Project near Dawson Creek, British Columbia. This project is on schedule to become British Columbia’s first fully operational wind park. It is a 2-year project, which started in December 2007 and turbines are expected to be fully operational with power flowing by the end of November, 2009.
Parts have been trucked in from Thunder Bay, Ontario, and there will be a total of 34 towers installed, with final construction phases to be completed by November 2009. On August 6, 2009, turbine number seven historically became the first wind turbine to deliver power to British Columbia's grid.
BV Land's ongoing involvement with the project includes providing a number of services, such as consultation and notification with residents, the public, and First Nations in areas of traffic management and transmission line acquisition. BV Land is also handling permitting where needed with forestry and other stakeholders, and is providing security for the construction site.
NRES was responsible for completing the soil and vegetation assessments on the 3.5 mile transmission line, which ties into the BC Hydro switching station, and the transmission line along the Hart Highway. NRES was also responsible for completing the Agriculture Land Commission (ALC) applications required by the ALC for the project.
The Wind Power facility will provide 102 megawatts of clean, renewable power to the South Peace region of British Columbia. For more information and updates on the Bear Mountain Wind Power project, you can visit the Altagas website at: www.altagas.ca
