All comments received will be considered public and may be posted online. For more information, individuals should consult the Privacy Notice on the Registry website.

The Proposed Project

Metro Vancouver proposes to carry out physical works associated with the approved Conveyance for North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant Project between 6:00am and 12:00am from March 1, 2020 to August 31, 2020, excluding Sundays and statutory holidays. This would require an amendment to condition 51 of the approved project permit, which states:

All general construction and physical activities related to the Project shall be conducted from Monday to Saturday between the hours of 7:00 am and 8:00 pm. No construction and physical activities shall take place on Sundays or holidays. These hours shall not be modified without prior approval of VFPA. To request permission to conduct activities outside of these hours, the Permit Holder must submit a written request no less than 20 business days prior to the desired start date.

The amendment is being requested further to an earlier approval in August 2019, which allowed physical works to be carried out between 6:00am and 12:00am from September 2, 2019 to February 29, 2020, excluding Sundays and statutory holidays. The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority understands that these works are not anticipated to generate significant noise and that Metro Vancouver is committed to concentrating any activities likely to generate noise to daytime hours.
