Even though it is required by the environmental assessment process, there has been
NO meaningful public consultation.
For all the years of this process, the proponent has frustrated the public and the process as they only repeat their evasive responses rather than answering the questions asked. We have noted this abuse of process here and here.
The proponent has not accepted any public input, the only changes have been to increase the proponent’s revenue.
We still don’t even know what the appearance of the proposed structure would be, we’re not even allowed to post our concerns (see the proponent’s “…cannot be copied…” restriction above), such as noting that the provided rendering is impossible, as it has no provision for cooling the machinery (the louvres on the front are fake as there would be the 30′-wide steel tailrace gate directly behind them).
