Making
changes
to a
watercourse?
The waters of rivers, streams and creeks belong to everyone.
Improper use of the watercourses which carry these waters may
result in the following?
irrigation and drainage problems for neighbours
- destruction of aquatic and wildlife habitat
- reduced recreational opportunities
- erosion and flooding problems - -
Whenever permanently flowing watercourses are to be altered in
any way including damming, diverting, and channelization,
Federal and Provincial laws require that the approval of the
Ministry of Natural Resources be obtained.
As a first st.•p in planning any work on a watercourse, contact us.
Our staff will be glad to discuss possible design and layout alter-
natives which will minimize future problems for you, your neigh-
bour and public in general.
