Attached below is the disposal at sea permit issued by the Federal Department of Fisheries and Oceans. This document explains how the material that has been dredged from the third berth site can be properly disposed at sea.

The following are "position-fixing procedures" that need to be followed at the designated disposal site:

(i) The vessel mst inform the appropriate Marine Communications and Traffic Services Centre (MCTS) upon departure from the loading site that it is heading for a disposal site;

(ii) Upon arrival at a disposal site and prior to disposal, the vessel must again call the appropriate MCTS Centre to confirm its position. Disposal may proceed if the vessel is on the designated site. If the vessel is not within the disposal site boundaries, the MCTS centre will advise bearing and distance to the site and when disposal may proceed;and

(iii) The vessel must inform the appropriate MCTS Centre when disposal has been completed prior to leaving the disposal site.
