Instream flow release structure
The Nemiscau-2 instream flow release structure is built of concrete and abuts the right end of the dam. It will maintain the mean flow in the Nemiscau River.
It is designed to restore a flow of 0.8 m3/s (minimum instream flow) to 6 m3/s into the lower Nemiscau River.
