Notice of Determination 

Pitt Meadows, B.C. – March 30, 2023 – The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has determined that the proposed City of Pitt Meadows/Katzie First Nation – Stormwater Outfall Bonson Rd located at the southern foot of Bonson Road, Pitt Meadows, B.C. is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures 

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:  

• All works will be carried out in accordance with the construction environmental management plan 
• A qualified environmental professional will be retained to monitor works and activities with the potential to negatively affect fish or fish habitat 
• The works will not deposit a deleterious substance in water inhabited by fish, or affect fish or fish habitat in a manner contrary to the Fisheries Act 
• Activities in the intertidal zone will be completed in the dry (i.e., above the water surface) during appropriate tide levels 
• Soils and other materials brought to the site will be clean and free of environmental contamination, invasive species, and noxious weeds. 
• A spill prevention, containment and clean-up plan will be developed for the project, be available in the immediate working area, and project personnel will be trained on spill prevention, containment, and clean-up 

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
