Applications and Reasons for Decisions (ARFD)

[PENDING : APPLICATION UNDER REVIEW]

Client: Vancouver Fraser Port Authority
Purpose: INDUSTRIAL/GENERAL
Region: Lower Mainland, Surrey
Agency: Crown Land Allocation
File: #2411738

Apr 25, 2016

Location: Roberts Bank
Area (Hectares): 6.291 ha +/-
BCGS Mapsheet: 92G005
Legal Description: UNSURVEYED FORESHORE OR LAND COVERED BY WATER BEING PART OF THE BED OF THE STRAIT OF GEORGIA, GROUP 1, NEW WESTMINSTER DISTRICT

 

The proposed authorization would allow the applicant to establish approximately 6 hectares of new eelgrass habitat. The transplant would involve a native eelgrass transplant to a shallow subtidal zone north of the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2. The transplant project is an offsetting measure for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project. These measures are intended to mitigate any potential adverse effects of the Terminal 2 project through creating similar habitat that might be disturbed by the project. Other benefits from eelgrass include carbon sequestration and natural protection from extreme weather events.
