Neptune Berths 1 to 3 - Maintenance Dredging

The proposed project

Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. is seeking a multi-year permit for dredging works in the waterlot fronting 1001 Low Level Road, North Vancouver, BC. Dredging is required to remove accumulated sediment to restore each berth's design depth to maintain appropriate vessel clearance. Dredging has recently been carried out following a similar work plan out at Berth 1 under PER 18-027 and Berths 2 and 3 under PER 20-070.  

Dredging works will include removal of up to 200 cubic metres per year from Berths 1 to 3, to depth ranging from -14.0 to -18.4 metres chart datum. Dredging will be carried out using an environmental clamshell bucket. Material will be dredged using an environmental clamshell bucket and loaded into a sealed scow for testing and disposal at an approved upland facility. Any entrained water within the sealed scow will be collected into storage tanks for testing and disposal at an approved upland facility. Works will be carried out within the Port Authority's standard work hours. Works are proposed to take seven to 10 days annually and will be completed within the fisheries least risk window for Burrard Inlet. Works may be spread out throughout this period.
