The Proposed Project

Iskut First Nation proposes to construct a new Family Services Building located within Iskut IR 6. The site is situated northeast of Highway 37 in a residential area and immediately northwest of Zetu Creek. The anticipated Civil Works for the project include:
-Installation of a Family Services Building (~337 m2)
-Installation of a new water service connection from the existing water main
-Sanitary sewer servicing: gravity collection system with treatment and in-ground disposal (~46 m2)
-Drainage and surface water management: proposed grading and drainage swales to direct surface run-off to existing roadside
ditches for conveyance and outlet to Zetu Creek
-Installation of new overhead power pole or underground power supply
-Parking and access (~290 m2)
It should be noted that no in-stream works are proposed for this project.

The proponent has applied to Indigenous Services Canada for funding for this project.
