Batoche Drainage Improvement

The proposed project is to reduce flooding of the visitor parking area and of the Visitor Reception Center basement by installing a passive drainage system to manage water levels of two small ponds. The ponds are between the Visitor Reception Centre and the Administrative Offices building. In years of high moisture, the ponds overflow into the visitor parking area preventing visitor access and ground water seeps into the Visitor Reception Center basement causing damage as well as health and safety concerns. It is expected that by managing levels in the ponds to approximate average to low moisture years, flooding of the parking area and of the Visitor Reception Center basement will be prevented. This project will be assessed with a basic impact assessment.
