New Dock Installation - 1020 Alderside Road 

Port Moody, B.C. – April 24, 2023 – The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has determined that the proposed New Dock Installation located at 1020 Alderside Road, Port Moody is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

• Community knowledge 

• Comments received from the public 

• Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures 

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:  

• Barges and other support vessels will be prevented from grounding on the foreshore, seabed or otherwise disturb the foreshore or seabed 

• All activities involving the use of concrete, cement, or other lime-containing construction materials will be conducted so that the materials do not enter the aquatic environment 

• 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 

• All construction debris and waste materials will be collected in the immediate working area and disposed of at an appropriately licensed facility 

• 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 

• All construction equipment will be environmentally clean and properly maintained to prevent spills, invasive species, and noxious weeds 

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