Generator parts for proposed powerhouse at Peace Canyon dam on Williston Reservoir, Hudson's Hope, BC. Off loading 1 set of turbine runner wheels at bay near Kenney Damn, bay was later named after the Apex Transporting Co. The wheels were made in Russia, transported to Seattle, barged up wash (could be Washington) to Kemano. All equip necessary for moving this was provided: trucks, barges, bulldozers, etc. and carried along. From Kemano to Horetsky Creek Road to Nechako reservoir then barged down reserve to dam area then trucked on logging roads to Vanderhoof. Then across country to Williston Reservoir. A huge undertaking with little publicity for some unknown reason. 1975-1980?
