Buntzen / Jones / Hayward - Stave Lakes - Increased RCMP patrols for alcohol and drug use

The RCMP will be patrolling public parks and recreation areas throughout the province for the unlawful use of alcohol and drugs. This includes BC Hydro property, and particularly the lower mainland and Chilliwack areas. BC Hydro prohibits the consumption of alcohol and illegal drugs and is strictly enforced by the RCMP.

Jones Lake - Construction and logging along Jones Lake Forest Service Road

Logging and construction activities are currently underway along the Jones Lake Forest Service Road. This logging and construction activity is not associated with BC Hydro and does not affect the campgrounds; however, expect heavy machinery, including fully loaded logging trucks, at any time. Please check B.C. Forest Safety Council's Forest Service Roads [PDF, 414 KB] for information about driving safely.

Stave Falls Spillway Gate Reliability Project
(2011 – 2013)

Road Closures on Dewdney Trunk
Periodic road closures of Dewdney Trunk will be required during the project. In general, these will be short-term (10-15 minutes) or single lane closures. BC Hydro is replacing the existing spillway gates in the Blind Slough Dam at Stave Falls.

Reservoir Trail Recreation Closures
Pedestrian access over Blind Slough Dam will be closed during working hours (7 a.m. - 5 p.m. weekdays). As a result, a complete loop around the reservoir will be unavailable during these times. BC Hydro will re-open the pedestrian access over the dam during the evenings and on weekends.

BC Hydro recognizes the inconvenience this may cause and will complete the work as safely and efficiently as possible. We appreciate your patience during this work. For more information on this project, please visit the Spillway Gate Reliability Program.
