The Proposed Project

The proposed project includes decommissioning of Ne-Ask-Gila Guaw Creek Dam. The dam is a concrete structure that was constructed in 1981. It is approximately 4.5 m high and 11 m wide. The dam was constructed to provide a water supply to the Kitsumkalum First Nation community, but is no longer in use.
