The Maitland Valley Conservation Authority has taken the next step in decommissioning the Gorrie Dam.
The MVCA has submitted a conceptual plan to the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry for decommissioning the dam.
Part of the earthen berm to the south of the dam failed in June of 2017, and conservation officials decided dam’s decommissioning was the best path forward.
Over the summer Maitland Conservation staff expect to meet with MNRF representatives to review the conceptual plan and background information.
Staff will also be meeting with the Township of Howick to update Council on the decommissioning process and plans are underway for public consultation outreach in late summer.
