Members of the public are invited to an open house regarding a review hazard maps around the Rideau River this Wednesday.
The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority says it has completed two hazard mapping studies of the river. One is from Burritts Rapids to Kars and one from Kars to Hogs Back. The studies update some areas and map new areas. These studies will identify flood and slope stability type hazards.
The RVCA says the hazard maps will be used by the Municipality of North Grenville and the City of Ottawa to help with their next Official Plan updates as well as Zoning Schedules.
Residents are invited to bring comments on the mapping at the open house from 4:30pm to 7:30pm at the RVCA in Manotick. If you can’t attend but would like to look at the mapping, it can be seen at www.rvca.ca. Comments can also be sent to RVCA Senior Water Resources Engineer Ferdous Ahmed at [email protected].
