Rothschild Dam Modernization Construction Update
Domtar is moving forward with its project to modernize the Rothschild Dam. In the interest of public safety, we want to inform residents who may be affected by upcoming project-related activities:
• From January through August, two temporary cofferdams will be installed. These structures are necessary to establish safe and dry access to demolish the existing dam and to construct the new dam.
• Upon completion of the cofferdams, the work area will be dewatered to allow for demolition of the existing timber crib spillway. Demolition will continue through year-end, during which trucking will increase as the timber is disposed of offsite.
We are committed to minimizing impacts on the public boat launch, portage route and surrounding community throughout this work, collaborating with local municipalities as appropriate.
Thank you for your understanding.
