Proposed Dredge Material Management Site, Little River, Victoria County, NS
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
The Small Craft Harbours Branch of Fisheries and Oceans Canada proposes to undertake the development of a dredge material management site intended to be used for long-term storage of sediment derived from maintenance dredging activities conducted at Little River (Victoria County) Small Craft Harbour. Options for reuse of this dredge material will be explored such that a portion of the material may be stored on site temporarily, however, it is anticipated that the majority of the material will be managed on site over the long-term.
Site works will involve the construction of an access road within the proposed property that will facilitate the transportation of dredge material from the harbour to the selected location within the proposed property that will be designed to store the material. Vegetation clearing and site grubbing and grading will take place within the central portion of the property towards the eastern shoreline to prepare an area to receive the dredged material, retaining a treed buffer around the containment area to minimize the view from adjacent properties. Soil at the management site will be reworked to create berms and ditches that will contain the dredge material and control surface water runoff.
