Birch Energy Co-op, "A Pioneer Species!"

2010 Information
regarding run-of-river projects clearly indicates that the Hatfields
guidelines for instream flow thresholds for fish and fish habitat for
reviewing proposed water uses should be followed for any project
constructed. These guidelines will thus be followed by Birch Energy
Co-op if a run-of-river project was to be ever planned. More
information on the Hatfield guidelines may be viewed here.

one that "limits environmental, social and economic impacts and
maximizes public benefit." Birch Energy Co-op is fully aligned to these
new recommendations, and guides to fully incorporate them into our
business model. The media release may be viewed here.
