P.O. Box 130 Trail, B.C. V1R 4L4 Dear Mr. Isherwood: Re: Aquila Networks Canada (British Columbia) Ltd. Scope Change to Upper Bonnington Unit 5 Upgrade and Life Extension Project This is in response to your letter of September 23, 2002 advising the Commission of the requirement to include a $450,000 dam rehabilitation phase to the upgrade project. The Commission notes that previous dam rehabilitation projects have been treated as extraordinary capital expenditures and that the dam rehabilitation for Upper Bonnington had been identified in previous studies. The Commission, therefore, agrees that the dam rehabilitation phase can be considered as part of Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity Order No. C-02-01. In addition, it would seem to be an appropriate time to update the Commission regarding Aquila’s plans for the upgrade and refurbishment of WKP’s generation stations. In this regard, please prepare a summary list of all projects completed and the status of final reports for those projects. Please also provide a summary list of present and future projects and their estimated costs, and their expected timing over the next ten (10) years. Yours truly, Original signed by: Robert J. Pellatt cms Aquila/Cor/Bonnington Scope Change
