Impact on North Salmon River Forrest Service Road

Reference Number

Text

To the south and west of the LNG project they propose a long siding next to the CN rail line.  

 

Today there is not a lot of traffic on the FS road.  Ten years for now that may not be the case.  Should there be a long line of flat cars parked on the siding will they obstruct vehicle traffic using the North Salmon FS road?   In the Prince George area we have a road that goes to the Otway community, there are three railroad crossings on this road.  As the community has grown there has been increasing community pressure to either reroute the road or build overpasses.  There may come a day when the North Salmon road interconnects with a road to the west.  Alternate transportation routes are gaining importance when principal transportations routes are blocked by major traffic accidents or forest fires.

 

The North Salamon FS road serves most industrial uses today.   Should there be an accident to the west, what priority does passage along this road have for emergency vehicles?

 

The site of the LNG facility is in the headwaters of the Fraser River.  The Salmon River is an important spawning area for anadromous fish.  Is there going to be any specific care to collect surface water from the site?   Grading, ditching and retention ponds are much easier to construct before infrastructure appears on the site.
