Hydrometric Station Rehabilitation, Environment and Climate Change Canada

The Water Survey of Canada – National Hydrological Service (WSC-NHS) operates hydrometric monitoring stations across the country, providing near real-time data on water levels and flow. The station on the Point Wolfe River (01BV006) provides essential information for Fundy National Park, assisting in the monitoring of river crossings and the Species at Risk program. Since its activation in 1964, the station's infrastructure has deteriorated and reached the end of its design life, prompting Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) to propose its rehabilitation. The outdated infrastructure, including a gauge house, stilling well, cable car, and cableway, requires decommissioning. A new look-in style cabinet, mounted on a concrete pad or a cylindrical tube, will replace the old gauge house. Environmental assessments have identified minor soil contamination in several areas and groundwater contamination in the stilling well. Contaminated water and soil will be removed and disposed of appropriately, followed by site rehabilitated.
