Bank Erosion Repair at Latchford Dam
Official title: Bank Stabilization at Latchford Dam
Public Services and Procurement Canada needs to repair erosion damage at Latchford Dam. The work involves placing aggregate material in the water using heavy machinery and replacing filter cloth to prevent future erosion.
Why This Matters

Key Issues
- Will the bank stabilization work adequately protect against future erosion?
- What are the environmental impacts of in-water construction work?
