The Environmental Regulatory Compliance incidents measure is defined as the number of externally reportable, preventable environmental incidents.

Results for the fiscal 2007 Environmental Regulatory Compliance measure are worse than target as a result of 23 incidents compared to the target of 16 incidents. One of these incidents was considered severe and was the result of vandalism at the Prince George Substation during which an estimated 10,000 litres of oil was spilled. Remediation costs are estimated to be over $100,000. A total of 19 incidents are believed to be the result of human error; six of which were related to Water Licence violations. The four remaining incidents were the result of equipment failure.

Targets are developed and results are based on past performance.
