Elk Lake James Street Stormwater Rehabilitation

completed

The project will install a stormwater collection and disposal system in James, Ontario. The work will involve the installation of new storm sewers, sub-drains and precast, concrete catch basins on the upstream portion of Main and Elk Streets, which will connect to a main storm sewer that discharges into the Montreal River. The discharges will flow through a new, steel outlet pipe lined with rip rap while other work will restore the disturbed roadway, backfill existing ditches and install storm maintenance holes. The project will reduce the risk of flooding, road washouts and potential property damage on the North side of the Montreal River in the community of Elk Lake, and decrease the potential for contamination of the Montreal River by septic system overflows or riverbank erosion.
