Hydro-Québec, the provincial public utility company, has initiated an archaeological inventory along the route between Longue-Rive and Les Escoumins as part of its infrastructure project to replace electrical transmission poles on its 69 kV line. This project is undertaken to ensure that the work does not adversely affect any areas that may contain archaeological treasures. Hydro-Québec is mindful of its responsibility to preserve cultural heritage and has incorporated this inventory process as a standard practice prior to construction work.
The inventory aims to carefully evaluate the geographical context to ensure that any installations do not interfere with potential archaeological sites. This proactive approach aligns with broader environmental and cultural preservation efforts in the region. The outcome of the archaeological assessment will inform Hydro-Québec’s next steps regarding the replacement of the transmission poles, ensuring compliance with both regulatory frameworks and public expectations for heritage conservation.
