Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The proponent proposes to construct a two metre high earth fill dam with a concrete spillway at the outlet of South Pond along with an open channel connection with control structure between South Pond and North Pond, in the Town of Torbay. The water level of South Pond would be raised by one meter while the channel connection, controlled by a manual sluice gate, would span 300 meters between the two ponds and have a maximum depth of five meters.

Construction is proposed to commence in the spring of 2005.
