Racehorse Road Repair and Culvert Replacement

The Racehorse Road Repair and Culvert Replacement (the Project) is being proposed by Natural Resources Canada. The proposed Project includes the replacement of two culverts, and the maintenance and repair of an access road in the Petawawa Research Forest (PRF). The PRF is the oldest continuously operated research forest in Canada, and has a permanent road system of approximately 150km. The PRF is a 10,000 hectare estate that forms part of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence Forest Region, containing a mixture of hardwood and conifer tree species. At the Project site, the culverts have experienced significant damage and degradation over time, and require replacement to ensure the continual and unimpeded flow of water. No vegetation or habitat clearing will be required to undertake the Project, and all required guidelines and best practices will be adhered to in order to ensure minimal impact on the surrounding biophysical environment.
