Aux Ormes River - South Branch
Various culverts on private forestry road
Culverts obstructed upstream
South Branch Ormes 10
Monday, August 23, 2010
Issue:
Private woodlot with forestry road that crosses the stream with five culverts (1 big and 4 small). Woody debris obstruction in front of culvert inlet and braided stream channel. Wooden frame on the banks around the culverts. Big pool downstream from the culverts. Moderate erosion on the stream banks with lots of sediments on the stream bed. Future mine site in the area.
Action Required:
A follow-up is required to monitor the effects of the new mine on the river. Remove the woody debris obstruction in front of the culverts before they are completely obstructed. The stream banks should be stabilized in order to slow down erosion and reduce sedimentation in the river.
Update
July 6 2017
Cleaned culverts
Update:
The culverts have been cleaned. The mine never came into existence. The owner has been contacted and the bridge will be renovated soon. Follow-up is recommended.
