summary
toThis wildfire risk assessment and mitigation plan evaluates wildfire behaviour potential and provides recommendations to reduce the threat of wildfire to the NTPC facilities at Taltson, Bluefish, Snare, Fort Smith (Tthebacha), and Jackfish Lake, and to the main transmission powerlines from each of the hydro plants. Specific mitigation recommendations are provided for each facility in this report based on FireSmart best-practices. Overall findings include: ▪ Some structures have combustible exterior features (roofing, siding, porches/decks) that put the structure at risk of ignition and require replacement. ▪ Many structures have wildland grass, brush, and/or trees adjacent to/underneath and/or within 10 metres that need treatment. ▪ Some structures have coniferous wildland fuels within 100 metres that need treatment. ▪ Transmission powerlines that travel through coniferous wildland fuel types are at threat to wildfire and should be considered for right-of-way brushing and or widening.
