Winter Cove Boat Ramp Repair, Saturna Island

This project will repair a hazardous void in the intertidal portion of the boat ramp at Winter Cove on Saturna Island. The plan is to fill the void with approximately 3 cubic meters of washed clear crush aggregate, compacting the material so as to produce a durable surface. The choice to use washed clear crush aggregate rather than the typical road base gravel is intended to minimize the likelihood of siltation, increased turbidity, and associated negative impacts to the marine environment. All work will be confined to the existing paved roads, ramp, and parking surfaces and all machinery used will be inspected for general serviceability and fluid leaks. Work will be monitored by a Parks Canada employee.

The project has been determined to be a work, undertaking or activity for which impacts to fish and fish habitat can be avoided by following measures to protect fish and fish habitat.

The proposed project will be assessed using a Basic Impact Assessment.
