The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is planning to relocate the existing RV Compound due to the new hangar and training facility to support the new Future Aircrew Training (FAcT) operations at 15 Wing Moose Jaw, SK. In general, the proposed RV compound work consists of constructing an overall gravel area of 70m x 137m and installing new chain link fencing. Gravel access driveways will be provided to the existing paved roadway. The proposed project is not intended to remove any soil from the potential development site but to strip and stockpile existing topsoil for current and future projects.
