The Proposed Project

The project aims to maintain, restore and redevelop the drainage ditches and the retention pond present on the property of the John H. Chapman Space Center of the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) located in Saint-Hubert, Québec. In addition, following major development around the property, a new ditch must be built to improve drainage by channeling water from the rear area of the site (to the south) to the retention pond located at the front (to the north). The ASC also plans to build a snow storage area and a settling pond to accommodate the snow from its snow removal operations and its meltwater. The total area affected by the project is estimated at 12,000 m².
