Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (Locality description states base of construction site of the Balbina Hydroelectric Dam, extension to the left. Unsure of where the extension is or which direction "left" is referring to. Georeferenced to the geographic center of the Balbina Hydroelectric Dam, although collection most likely not from that exact location, but more likely adjacent to it (in the surrounding fields or along shoreline). Using Google Maps, located the Balbina Hydroelectric Dam. Used the measurement tool to measure the total extent of the dam, then approximated the geographic center. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates. Used linear extent as uncertainty radius.)
