    INTAKE CHANNEL DAMAGE AT THE ARROW LAKES GENERATING STATION UNDER REPAIR Columbia Power Corporation News Release
    Castlegar – Work to repair the damage to the concrete lining of the Arrow Lakes Generating Station’s intake channel continued throughout the weekend.

    “Crews are working on temporary repairs to the damaged concrete in the bottom of the intake channel,” said Wally Penner, Executive Director of Community and Regional Affairs for Columbia Power Corporation. “Right now crews are laying down a layer of pea gravel over the damaged concrete to level the area. Once all the gravel is in place, crews will then cover it with a heavy-duty polyethylene fabric to seal out water, and cover the area with a 12-inch thick fabric inflatable “mattress”, which will be filled with concrete and used to hold the polyethylene sheeting in place.”
