George Gordon First Nation Wastewater Infrastructure Upgrades

George Gordon First Nation is proposing construction of a new lagoon, access road, and associated force main installations. The proposed lagoon site is located approximately 1 km northeast of the existing community lagoon on undeveloped land. A new facultative lagoon with a 0.72 hectare sized primary cell and a storage cell sized with a capacity of 16,455 cubic metres will be constructed, along with approximately 1 km of newly constructed roadway to provide access to the lagoon from the existing roadway network. Approximately 1 km of new sewage force main piping will also be installed to convey wastewater from the existing sewage pumping station to the proposed lagoon. The existing lagoon will be decommissioned and returned to a natural vegetative state upon commissioning of the new sewage lagoon.

Site preparation activities will include stripping and stockpiling of topsoil from the proposed lagoon site and the pipeline utility right of way. Construction of the lagoon will include excavation to cell floor elevations and placement of earthen fill to construct the perimeter berms. Installation of new sewage force mains will include excavation to designated depths, installation of piping, backfill, and topsoil replacement.
