J. Jemmett & Associates

CA

JJA uses leading-edge impact assessment methods, standardized and accepted field equipment, up-to-date digital field and office equipment, and senior-level, registered professional biologists in conducting aquatic environmental impact assessments of any project in, or near, water and fish habitat. We have been successful in obtaining the critically important fisheries approvals for over $10 billion in captial works since 1975, including dams, mines, pipelines, roads, transmission lines and many other land and water-use projects.

For all impact assessments, Jemmett personally conducts the fieldwork, data analysis, reporting and agency contacts, precisely in order to ensure quality control throughout and positive reviews by the agencies for project approvals. Our insistence on conducting all phases of the assessments ensures quality control and a much more efffective and efficient process to project licencing and permitting. Our approach also ensures good client relations and produces positive results in terms of project approvals.

Coast Mountain Hydro retained JJA to conduct the fisheries studies for project approvals for a 100 MW run-of-river power plant in northern British Columbia. The project, largest of its kind in the province, was approved by the fisheries agencies in 2003, and investment in the company increased significantly. For Huckleberry Mines, Jemmett conducted the impact assessment, mitigation and compensation plan for project approvals, and monitored the fish stocks for six years after the mine was constructed and in operation. The habitat compensation plan was successful, the agencies are happy, and the mine carries on mining. Jemmett completed the fisheries work for the Revelstoke Dam, the Seven Mile Dam, several northern hydro projects, the 500 kV Cranbrook-Philips Pass T/L and 500 kV Nicola-Meridian T/L, all approved by the federal and provincial fisheries agencies, and built. Many private land use developments in the Fraser Valley and Vancouver Island also approved by the fisheries and environmental regulators.

Can contact Coast Mountain Hydro in Vancouver. Their $200 million hydro-electric project, for which Jemmett obtained the fisheries approvals, is in the active development stage.
