Deschambault Lake Sewage Pumping Station Upgrades

Peter Ballantyne Cree Nation Kimosom Pwatinahk Indian Reserve No. 203 is proposing to upgrade the Sewage Pumping Stations (SPS's) in the community of Deschambault Lake. The existing pumps have reached their expected life cycle and have no back up power. The existing infrastructure includes eight sewage pumping stations. At all eight sites, all infrastructure except for the existing wet wells will be decommissioned and removed from site and at each site a larger SPS structure will be built over the retained wet well.

Clearing and grubbing of the site at all SPS locations will take place outside of the migratory bird nesting season. Topsoil will be retained, unmixed, near the site from which it was removed. The existing fence will be removed and the entire existing structure will be selectively demolished and salvaged except for the wet well at each SPS location. A new, expanded SPS superstructure composed of electrical room, generator room and pump room as required at each site  will be constructed. Back up power systems is also included in the upgraded design. The SPS sites will be regraded so that stormwater drains freely away from the proposed buildings and to limit flooding from runoff flows caused by rainfall events or snow melt. All imported soil materials will be clean and free of hazardous materials. A new maintenance-free, industrial grade security fence (min overall height of 1.83m) will be installed around each site and will include a vehicle access swing gate and a pedestrian door entrance, both with locks. The operations of the new facilities will be similar to current operations.
