Trent-Severn Waterway -1247 Emerald Isle Road, Buckhorn Lake - Dredge and Aquatic Vegetation Removal

The overall intent of this project is to dredge and remove aquatic vegetation for an area approximately 130m2 to accommodate boat access and parking at an existing marina dock. The project components include:
• Dredge and remove aquatic vegetation along the shoreline in area of approximately 10 m x 13 m = 130 m2.
• Dredging to be completed from land using an excavator fitted with a bucket.
• If conditions in the work area are wet, a turbidity curtain will be installed and maintain around the entire work area. Alternatively, work will be completed when the lake is frozen to bottom of the bed and can be completed under dry conditions.
• The existing substrate on site is a soft bottom.
• Dredge material shall be collected via dump trucks and disposed off site.
• There is dense aquatic vegetation present in the dredge area including submergent and emergent species.
• No natural features including sunken rock, log, or stumps require removal for the dredge.
• There is a provincially significant wetland (Scollard Bay Wetland) situated immediately south of the proposed project site, on the south side of adjoining road embankment.
