Fort Road Beaver Dam 2024, Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site
This is a non-designated project on federal lands or outside Canada. The listed authorities are responsible for the project assessment.
A beaver dam has been constructed around three culverts on the north ditch of Fort Road in Fort St. Joseph National Historic Site (FSJNHS). The dam has caused flooding along the north side of the road for approximately 400 m, which is compromising infrastructure integrity and access to FSJNHS, since Fort Road is the only access to the site. The objective of this project is to lower the water level in the ditch to preserve the integrity of the road.
Proposed work is to remove the sections of the dam that are abutting the roadway and blocking the ditch, while leaving the section of dam that is parallel to the roadway on the far side of the ditch. This will allow water to drain from the ditch and potentially keep some water in the beaver pond to maintain habitat for local species. Two additional deceivers will be added to the dam to assist with controlling water levels in the long term. In addition, beavers have also been damaging large trees along the road that may become a hazard to public safety and utilities. To prevent further damage, these trees will be caged or removed as needed.
