Power Project

Atlantic salmon, smelt, alewives, shad, eastern brook trout, and introduced brown trout occur in waters that will be affected by the Passamaquoddy power project. The first four species are taken occasionally in herring weirs but total annual landed values did not exceed $6,000 in the period 1937 to 1956. Salmon and trout have high potential value for angling, subject to improvements in local river management.Construction of tidal power dams should overcome the present lack of typical estuarine conditions in the Passamaquoddy area and favour production of anadromous species. An improved sport fishery for sea-run trout could develop. Realization of the potential production of Atlantic salmon, alewives and shad, but possibly not sea-run trout, would depend on satisfactory access from the Bay of Fundy to the impounded areas.

Power Project

A 7.6 m diameter straight flow turbine was installed in an existing rockfill tidal dam at Annapolis Royal, Nova Scotia. Operation as an ebb-flow generator will yield 17.8 MW at heads of 5–6 m. Environmental consequences, and changes in design and operating mode, and remedial measures required to accommodate effects on agriculture and fish passage are outlined. The process of environmental impact assessment and integration is described and discussed.

Flood Flow

An 18 MW pilot tidal power project is being developed in an existing tidal barrage on the Annapolis River Estuary in southwestern Nova Scotia to evaluate the performance of a prototype STRAFLO turbine. An environmental assessment to identify potential impacts on regional biophysical and socio-economic features was completed. Construction of the barrage had already substantially altered the environment. The assessment focussed on impacts associated with construction and operation of the power plant itself, and the increased maximum operating elevation of the impounded basin. Environmental issues associated with the power plant included release of suspended sediment, scour in existing channels and at adjacent shorelines, flood flow management, and passage of anadromous fish through the barrage. Concerns with increased basin water levels included interference with existing agriculture, flooding, and accelerated rates of bank erosion.
