WINNIPEG A new report says the province miscalculated flood protection estimates in the Interlake outlet channels design. The $540 million plan would see water flow from Lake Manitoba to Lake Winnipeg via Lake St. Martin. The flood mitigation project has been in the works since the devastation caused by the 2011 flood. Area First Nations commissioned a report by Halket Environmental Consultants to study the project’s potential impact on Lake St. Martin. It concluded a channel of water known as The Narrows acts as a bottleneck creating higher flood water levels in the lake’s south basin. The report said this was not accounted for in a 2013 environmental assessment.
