The Proposed Project

The Department of National Defence (DND) is proposing to repair the bottom portion of stormwater outfall #21 as well as a collapsed bank along the northeastern shore of Catawampus Pond in Canadian Forces Base Borden (CFB), Ontario. This project includes: removal of the damaged stormwater outflow pipe, installation of a new stormwater outflow pipe, placement of geotextile and riprap material, and stabilization of the collapsed bank.

It is anticipated that the repairs to the decrepit stormwater outfall will reduce the risk of erosion for areas immediately surrounding the stormwater outfall and reduce the sedimentation that enters Catawampus Pond.
