Description

The Elbow River Dam at McLean Creek site (MC1) was investigated as one of several options considered to mitigate flood risk, considering the devastation that occurred during the June 2013 flood. The MC1 project concept considers building an earth fill dam across the main stem of the Elbow River. This study builds on the results of previous work and utilizes the results of subsurface investigations documented in the data report entitled Preliminary Geotechnical Investigation, Elbow River Dam at McLean Creek, Alberta, AMEC, May 2014 included in this sudy as Appendix B. This current study also utilizes LiDAR 15 elevation data which is significantly more accurate than elevation data available for previous work.
