Résumé

Landscape erosion and sedimentation of watercourses has been identified as a serious environmental issue at 5th Canadian Division Support Base (5 CDSB) Gagetown. To address this issue, the Department of National Defence has been conducting remediation works through a Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program (SECP). Work has included upgrades and decommissioning or roads, trails and water-crossings, re-vegetation of barren soils and stream restoration. Despite these efforts, landscape erosion and watercourse sedimentation continue to be an issue. A hydrological and suspended sediment models for the Nerepis River and Kerr Brook were developed under the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Program SECP, using the ArcGIS Soil Water Assessment Tool (SWAT). Some of the data that are needed to calibrate and validate the model were collected between 2009 and 2013. As the model will be completely re-calibrated as part of the present project, field monitoring was re-initiated during the summer of 2021. This report provides a summary of this field investigation.
