Proponent: Town of Deer Lake

Summary of Environmental Assessment Process

Project Description:

The Town of Deer Lake proposes to assess the quantity and quality of sunken pulp wood logs at the bottom of Deer Lake by conducting a survey using side-scan sonar technology. It is expected that logs have accumulated from over 60 years of logging operations on the Humber River. The results of the survey will be used to determine the feasibility of recovering logs for use in manufacturing specialty products such as flooring and furniture.
