CONSTRUCTION 



Construction staff completed the construction of water 

 control danns located at McCraw Falls, Remi Lake, Clayton 

 Lake, Round Lake, Washagami Lake, Wakami Lake, Mal- 

 colm Lake, McCarrol Lake and at McNamara Lake. In addi- 

 tion, a dam on the Black Sturgeon River damaged by flood 

 waters was partially re-constructed, and a dock for the use 

 of our air services was constructed at Hayes Lake. 



Construction was commenced on water control dams at 

 Omemee, LeCrous Lake and White Lake. At Southampton, 

 construction started on a lamprey control dam known as 

 Denny's Dam which contains a lamprey-proof fish ladder. 

 The cost of this project is being shared equally by Ontario 

 and Canada. 



MAINTENANCE 



Maintenance of hydraulic structures and docks were 

 scheduled on the basis of condition determined from in- 

 spection and reports submitted from districts and included 

 the following:

IMPROVEMENTS TO FLOW CHANNELS 



Improvements to flow channels, by clearing debris, floating 

 bogs, dredging, widening and deepening of flow channels, 

 was carried out to increase efficiency in discharging water 

 from Department-operated dams, to improve flow be- 

 tween controlled waters, or to decrease downstream flood- 

 ing resulting from the Department's operation of a dam. 

 This year, major projects were undertaken at Doe Lake, 

 Bernard Creek, Boyne River and the channel connecting 

 Crane and Little Clear Lakes, while debris and floating bogs 

 were removed at other dams.

INSPECTION 



Of the 250 dams the Department owns and operates, ten 

 per cent were inspected, either as a result of requests or 

 expressions of concern for the safety and protection of 

 downstream interests, or as a matter of routine. Reports 

 were prepared and recommendations made to either repair 

 or proceed to construction at some future date in each 

 instance. 



ENGINEERING CONSULTATIONS 

 The section provides engineering consultation for design, 

 construction or reconstruction of Departmental facilities. 

 Engineering studies and reports are provided by staff, or by 

 utilizing the services of consultants specializing in given 

 areas. Specialists in ground water supply, soil analysis and 

 aerial surveying were retained for specific projects. 



Feasibility studies were undertaken, and reports and 

 cost estimates were prepared on matters related to equip- 

 ment, water supply, and outdoor facilities for fish culture 

 stations. 



Engineering consultation and construction forces were 

 provided for Parks Branch for the construction of eight 

 comfort stations, one each at White Lake and Neys Provin- 

 cial Parks, and six at Algonquin Provincial Park.
