The proposed project 

Peter Kiewit Sons ULC proposes to extract approximately sixty-eight (68) treated wooden piles of various sizes and install approximately fifty-eight (58) steel piles to suit their needs for future barge storage. Steel piles will vary from approximately 609 to 762 millimetres in diameter and will be arranged as follows: 

• Single piles to designate a no anchor zone  
• Inline to provide moorage areas throughout the site 
• Dolphins consisting of three (3), four (4) and five (5) piles for mooring purposes 

Piles will be removed and installed using a marine spud derrick equipped with a vibratory hammer and a materials barge. Treated wooden piles will be disposed of at an approved licensed waste management facility.  The project will be scheduled within the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) least-risk window for the Project area and take approximately three months to complete.
