The province says it's going to compensate landowners in the Assiniboine Valley affected by artificial flooding caused by operation of the Shellmouth Dam and Reservoir last year.
Manitoba Infrastructure and Transportation has determined there were periods of incremental artificial flooding downstream of the dam and reservoir caused by its operation in 2014.
According to MIT and MAFRD staff, that may have caused some damages or losses for producers.
A compensation program is to be developed in the coming months.
The government will also review the operating guidelines for the dam this fall.
