Couchiching First Nation Stormwater Management Infrastructure Upgrades

pre-construction

The project will improve stormwater management in the Couchiching First Nation in Ontario. The work includes regrading approximately 10 kilometres of road for water diversion, clearing and expanding ditches, clearing or upsizing 150 culverts, and treating and improving the quality of stormwater effluent by introducing wetland plants and swales. The project will reduce or eliminate health and safety risks from pooling, sewage back-ups, basement flooding and residential mould, and improve the quality of stormwater runoff entering Rainy Lake.
