FISH HABITAT COMPENSATION FOR LENTIC WATERS AND WETLANDS, ÎLE
LAPIERRE AND POINTE THÉORÊT

Summary:
PWGSC intends to retain a firm specialized in integrated
ecosystem management, with expertise in engineering, biology and
landscape architecture in order to deliver drawings and
specifications for two construction projects.

This mandate is to provide the fish habitat compensation for
losses in lentic waters and wetlands, relative to the
prospective construction of the New Bridge for the St. Lawrence.

Part of this compensation is to create a marsh on the central
and eastern parts of Île Lapierre (along the Rivière des
Prairies, north of Montréal Island) by restoring a wetland and a
lentic water fish habit that was backfilled in the eighties. The
installation of an inlet channel in the northwest and northeast
of the basin (or, alternatively, an underground pipe) is planned
to connect the marsh and river, thus generating water flow and
ensuing a constant level of water throughout the year. 

The other part of this compensation is to open up an existing
marsh located on Pointe Théoret (on Île Bizard to the southwest
of Montréal Island) by improving its connection to the Rivière
des Prairies, which will require clearing and enlarging the
existing inlet channel. In terms of ecological objectives, these
two projects seeks to increase the area of spawning, fry rearing
and feeding habitats for fish in lentic waters, to revitalize
the wetlands by ensuring the constant presence of water and
restoring adequate vegetation cover.
