TextPublication details: The Pas, MB : 1982. Ducks Unlimited Canada,Description: 1 v. (various pagings) : col. ill. , maps ; 28 cmOnline resources: Abstract: The Helldiver Complex is located 32 miles southwest of The Pas, Manitoba and forms a portion of the Saskatchewan River Delta. The total drainage area comprises some 740 square miles with over 50% originating from the Pasquia Hills. Ducks Unlimited initiated development in the area in 1963, however, the controls installed at that time were not successful.Subsequent repairs to these structures were also unsuccessful. In 1975,D.U. planned to replace these controls but ran into conflicts with D.T.R.R. A subsequent Biological and Engineering study by D.U. indicated the costs to re-develop the Helldiver Complex were excessive for the benefits we would receive. Flooding in the complex is the major problem.We are now investigating the cost to abandon the area. The scope of this report estimates the costs and time required to return the area back to its natural water regime by closing all man-made channels and opening all dams so the water can flow on its natural course previous to any D.U.
