There is no known high level PCB equipment within the BC Hydro system. The majority (75 per cent) of known PCB contaminated oil can be be found in Distribution padmount and overhead transformers (54 per cent), Transmission station equipment (17 per cent) and Generation station equipment (29 per cent). The volume of oil in-use is expected to increase as a result of the PCB sampling program mentioned in the DMA-PCBs. Information on weight of equipment carcasses is incomplete and thus only known volume of oil >49 ppm in equipment has been reported.
