The Proposed Project

Bigstone Cree Nation is proposing to upgrade the pumphouse infrastructure on the existing building and surroundings located on Wabasca IR No 166D. Site activities will include grading, excavation for a reservoir cell, minor infrastructure and pipe repairs, retaining wall, power supply and a concrete pad installation. The pre-developed area will not require vegetation clearing and all soil taken from the location will be stockpiled if necessary and reused on the project or adjacent projects on reserve.
