This advisory is intended for community members living within the vicinity of DP3 construction activities.

As part of the DP3 project, additional work has been scheduled outside of day-time hours. The work will be conducted on the subtidal reef habitat compensation project and the temporary barge berth.

The subtidal reef habitat compensation project work will begin today in an effort to complete a portion of the work prior to the start of a fisheries sensitive window in March 2009. Additional shifts will operate from 7:00 pm to 5:30 am and from 5:30 am to 4:00 pm.

Work on the temporary barge berth will take place beyond daylight hours from February 19th through 21st, 2009 to coincide with low tides.

The temporary barge berth is being constructed to allow Port Metro Vancouver (PMV) and TSI Terminal Systems Inc. (TSI), the terminal operator, to bring material to the site by water for the terminal site work and east causeway habitat compensation portions of the DP3 project.

Environmental monitors will be on-site to monitor construction activities during this time but elevated noise and light levels may occur over the next two week period.

Regards,

Naomi Horsford
