Replacing Bluefish!
Bluefish Dam is now 70 years old and has been kept serviceable by upgrades carried out in 1972, 1983 and 2007. The fact is, Bluefish Dam has reached the end of its life and there are risks to its continued use. The best option is to build a replacement dam. And that’s exactly what the Corporation is proposing to do.
The replacement dam will be located approximately 400 metres downstream from the current site. Pending regulatory and environmental approvals, construction of the dam is expected to be completed by spring of 2011. Until the replacement is operational, we've taken steps to reduce any risk to the environment.
