Contractors will begin work in the water on the Owen Sound Wastewater Treatment Plant outfall pipe the week of July 13, 2015.
The work area extends approximately 200 metres from shore, north of the community boat launch at the Bayshore Community Centre, and east of Navigation Buoy T-11, well outside the navigation channel. The area to avoid will be delineated by buoys, and a turbidity curtain, extending from the outfall location, all the way to the shoreline. Information buoys will be provided. All buoys will be lit at night time.
It is important that the boating public stay out of the work area, and give it a wide berth. It is especially important that vessels reduce speed to accommodate little to no wake for marine construction and diving operations, for an area approximately 500 metres north and south of Navigation Buoy T-11. This is to protect the health and safety of the boating public, and the workers and divers undertaking the work.
The contractor undertaking the work, ODS Marine, will provide a daily Notice to Mariners on the operations status for the duration of the project.
The work is intended to be completed prior to the Salmon Spectacular which begins on Friday, August 28, 2015.
