Review & Comparative Analysis: "Draft EIS Guidelines for the Wuskwatim Generation Project" [File No.4724.00] & "Draft EIS Guidelines for the Wuskwatim Transmission Project" [File No.4725.00] - Bryan Hart, Paskanake Project Management March 2002 This document is a review of the draft Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) guidelines for the proposed Wuskwatim Generation Project and Transmission Project (Northern Manitoba).
