Short-Term Mitigation

Short term mitigation works were completed before the 2014 spring run-off. The mitigation work included widening and deepening the creek bed and installation of articulated concrete mats for erosion protection in the main channel of Cougar Creek, from the Wildland Park Boundary to the Trans-Canada Highway. Additionally, a 6m tall and 40m wide debris net was installed at the apex of the fan to capture up to 15,000 m3 of sediment. The debris net is a temporary protection structure until the debris flood retention structure is constructed.
