Big Egg Lake Water Control Structure

The Big Egg Lake Water Control Structure Project (the Project) is an initiative proposed by the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) under the Wood Buffalo National Park World Heritage Site Action Plan (the Action Plan). The Project will be owned and operated by ACFN and was collaboratively developed with ACFN and federal technical experts under the Action Plan. The Project is proposed to be located on the east-connection channel between Big Egg Lake and the Athabasca River, within the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation Jackfish Reserve (I.R. 201), Alberta. The Project involves dredging and enlarging the existing east connection channel and installing a flap-gated culvert structure within the channel.
