1 Board and Information Services, Legal and Legislative Service Tel Fax Rise and Report (Items Released from Closed Meeting) On April 28, 2017 the attached report was authorized by the Greater Vancouver Water District (GVWD) Board of Directors to be released to the public: Metro Vancouver Utilities within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel

2 CLOSED MEETING To: From: Finance and Intergovernment Committee Andrew Wood, Director, Interagency Projects and Quality Control, Water Services Paul Lam, Division Manager, Major Projects and Programs, Liquid Waste Services Date: April 3, 2017 Meeting Date: April 19, 2017 Subject: Metro Vancouver Utilities within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel RECOMMENDATION That the Finance and Intergovernment Committee receive for information the report dated April 3, 2017, titled Metro Vancouver Utilities within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel. PURPOSE The purpose of this report is to identify existing GVWD and GVS&DD marine crossings and outfalls located within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel and summarize the potential impact of deep-sea shipping channel dredging on these utilities. This matter is being presented at a closed meeting pursuant to Community Charter provisions, Section 90 (2) (b): 90(2) A part of a meeting must be closed to the public if the subject matter being considered relates to one or more of the following: (b) the consideration of information received and held in confidence relating to negotiations between the regional district and a provincial government or the federal government or both and a third party. BACKGROUND Over the past decade, a number of major transportation infrastructure projects have been completed along or crossing the Fraser River (e.g., Golden Ears Bridge, Port Mann Bridge/Highway 1 Project, South Fraser Perimeter Road). There are also a number of approved and proposed projects along the Fraser River such as the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project, Vancouver Airport Fuel Delivery Project, WesPac LNG Marine Jetty, Fraser Grain Terminal Export Facility and the Pattullo Bridge Replacement. These projects are shown on Attachment 1. Capital projects that are planned or underway along the Fraser River have the potential to impact Metro Vancouver utility infrastructure and MVRD lands (such as parkland). In addition, dredging activities may also have an impact to utilities located in the Fraser River shipping channel. This report provides the Committee with an update on the utilities in the Fraser River shipping corridor and considers the potential impact of dredging on these utilities

3 Metro Vancouver Utilities Within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Finance and Intergovernment Closed Committee Meeting Date: April 19, 2017 Page 2 of 6 Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Most of the approved and proposed projects are adjacent to a portion of the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel, located in the south arm of the Fraser River, extending from the mouth of the river at Sand Heads to the Pattullo Bridge in New Westminster. This navigation channel provides access for ocean-going vessels to current marine terminals such as Fraser Surrey Docks. To support shipping activities, the Fraser River is currently dredged on a regular basis to maintain a navigational depth of 11.5 m. While the navigation channel is intended to allow two vessels to pass simultaneously, width restrictions at bends such as Steveston and Tilbury allow only single vessel passage. Two way traffic is possible on straight reaches of the river. The maintenance dredging program is managed by the Port of Vancouver. The Port of Vancouver has indicated they have no plans to dredge the Fraser River shipping channel deeper than the current depth sustained through annual maintenance dredging. However, with the George Massey Tunnel Replacement Project and increasing development along the Fraser River, there has been expressed interest in deepening the channel for increased marine traffic movement. GVWD and GVS&DD Infrastructure within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel As shown on Attachment 2, the Water and Liquid Waste utilities currently have a total of six crossings and one marine outfall within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel. GVWD s Annacis Main No. 3 and GVS&DD s North Surrey Interceptor are bundled together in a single combined crossing. These crossings are buried in relatively shallow trenches underneath the riverbed and have scour protection blankets in some areas. Metro Vancouver surveys these crossings annually to ensure that there is sufficient protection over the crossings. Select crossings, with high potential for scour, are surveyed twice each year. The individual crossings, together with their size and date of construction, are shown in Table 1.

As part of its growth and resiliency programs, GVWD is replacing several key crossings with deep, seismically secure, scour resistant crossings, sized for long term growth. For example, within this section of the Fraser River, plans are underway to construct the Annacis Water Supply Tunnel between New Westminster and Surrey, downstream of the Pattullo Bridge. Infrastructure Upstream of the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel In addition to the infrastructure listed in Table 1, the Water and Liquid Waste utilities have an additional four crossings and two marine outfalls upstream or outside of the Deep-Sea Shipping Channel. These crossings, together with their size and date of construction, are shown in Table 2. Staff did not analyze crossings outside of the deep-sea channel because of the lower potential for deeper dredging.

5 Metro Vancouver Utilities Within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Finance and Intergovernment Closed Committee Meeting Date: April 19, 2017 Page 4 of 6 DREDGING SCENARIOS With increasing development along the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel, it is likely that there will be increased pressure to dredge and deepen/widen the channel to allow larger vessels and increase goods and materials movement. The deeper the dredge cuts are to the river bed, the greater potential for impact to Metro Vancouver s utilities. Staff have analyzed the potential impact of various dredging options on the marine crossings, specifically, impacts based on 12.8 m and 13.5 m Vessel Drafts. The impacts on three GVWD crossings (Annacis Mains No. 2 and 3 and Lulu Island - Delta Main) and three GVS&DD facilities (South Surrey Interceptor, North Surrey Interceptor and Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant Outfall) are summarized as follows: 12.8 m Vessel Draft For a 12.8 m Vessel Draft, both the Annacis Main No. 3 and Lulu Island Delta Main will require modifications to the existing scour protection. While the Annacis Main No. 2 is not directly impacted by the dredge cut, its cover is reduced to the point where there is insufficient clearance to install adequate scour protection. The affected section of Annacis Main No. 2 is currently out of service and pending the recommendations of the GVWD s Comprehensive Regional Water System Plan, may be removed and not be reinstated. There is marginal clearance to install scour protection at the South Surrey Interceptor and the existing scour protection will need to be modified. Low profile scour protection may be used at this location, however, this is best determined when a dredge profile at this location can be confirmed based on a detailed design. The North Surrey Interceptor (bundled with the Annacis Main No. 3 crossing) will require modifications to the existing scour protection. The existing Annacis Island WWTP Outfall will require extra protection. MV staff have started the preliminary design for a new outfall as part of the Annacis Island WWTP expansion and further assessment of the impact is required when the conceptual design is complete m Vessel Draft Impacts to Metro Vancouver infrastructure for a 13.5 m Vessel Draft would be similar to those for the 12.8 m Vessel Draft; however, the Lulu Island-Delta Main would need to be replaced with a new crossing as the dredging would expose the pipe and the South Surrey Interceptor would need to be replaced as there is also insufficient clearance to install scour protection. While staff s analyses are based on re-installation of current capacity, it should be noted that anticipated population growth in the areas served by these crossings will eventually require an increase in the capacity of these facilities. However, these capacity upgrades are not anticipated to occur within the current GVWD/GVS&DD Long Range Capital Plan. The expected remaining service life of these crossings generally ranges between 25 and 60 years. ALTERNATIVES This is an information report. No alternatives are presented.

6 Metro Vancouver Utilities Within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Finance and Intergovernment Closed Committee Meeting Date: April 19, 2017 Page 5 of 6 FINANCIAL IMPLICATIONS Based on preliminary estimates and as summarized in Table 3 below, the range of costs associated with these two vessel drafts is $40 million to $275 million, depending on a number of channel factors such as alignment and depth of dredge cut. Detailed engineering evaluations for each of the locations are required to determine specific detailed mitigation designs and more accurate cost estimates. Table 3 Financial Implications of Various Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Dredging Depths Facility Name Utility Range of Impacts Range of Costs 12.8 m Vessel Draft 13.5 m Vessel Draft 12.8 m Vessel Draft 13.5 m Vessel Draft Lulu Island - Delta Main GVWD Modify Scour Protection Replace Crossing $5,000,000 $65,000,000 Tilbury Main GVWD No Impact No Impact - - Annacis Main No. 2 GVWD Remove and Decommission Pipe Remove and Decommission Pipe $10,000,000 $10,000,000 Annacis Main No. 3 GVWD Modify Scour Protection North Surrey Interceptor GVS&DD (Combined Crossing) Modify Scour Protection (Combined Crossing) $5,000,000 $5,000,000 South Surrey Interceptor GVS&DD Modify Scour Protection Replace Crossing $5,000,000 $180,000,000 Annacis Island WWTP Outfall GVS&DD Protect Existing Outfall Protect Existing Outfall $15,000,000 $15,000,000 TOTAL $40,000,000 $275,000,000 With the exception of the Annacis Island WWTP Outfall and Annacis Main No. 2, none of the facilities that would be impacted by deepening the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel are scheduled for replacement within the current GVWD/GVS&DD Long Range Capital Plan, nor are the costs of these impacts included in the plan. If the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel is deepened, Metro Vancouver may have to assume the costs associated with the dredging impacts, depending on the individual crossing permits and how the deepening is funded. SUMMARY / CONCLUSION Recent transportation investments along the Fraser River were constructed to improve goods movement and mobility for transportation users. In addition, the George Massey Tunnel is proposed for replacement with a new 10-lane bridge. A number of significant projects are being proposed along the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel that will take advantage of these transportation investments.

7 Metro Vancouver Utilities Within the Fraser River Deep-Sea Shipping Channel Finance and Intergovernment Closed Committee Meeting Date: April 19, 2017 Page 6 of 6 While it has not been identified by the Port of Vancouver, it is foreseeable that the Fraser River Deep- Sea Shipping Channel could be deepened/widened to accommodate larger vessels in the future. This would affect six GVWD/GVS&DD pipe crossings, two of which are combined into a single crossing, and one GVS&DD outfall. Based on preliminary estimates for two possible dredging scenarios, the cost to address these impacts ranges from $40 million to $275 million. Attachments: (Doc #: ) 1.

20 Attachment 6 FGT FRASER GRAIN TERMINAL Fraser Grain Terminal Export Facility INFORMATION SHEET We want your input. See back page for details. Fraser Grain Terminal Ltd. is a joint venture of Parrish and Heimbecker, Limited (P&H) and Paterson GlobalFoods Inc. (PGF) to construct a grain handling facility along the Fraser River in Surrey, British Columbia. P&H and PGF are Canadian family-owned and operated grain companies with more than 1 00 years of experience in agribusiness and locations across Canada, including the Alliance Grain Terminal located on the south shore of the Burrard Inlet. Serving more than 1 0,000 Canadian farmers and producers, they market grain to over 40 countries. About the Project Fraser Grain Terminal proposes to build a grain export facility at Elevator Road adjacent to Fraser Surrey Docks on port industrial lands in Surrey, B.C. It will be used to trans-ship bulk grain products including wheat, barley, oil seeds, pulses and other specialty grains with a throughput of 4 million tonnes per annum (Mt/a). The new facility and travelling shiploader will have a modern design that minimizes noise and dust from grain handling opera tions and will replace a derelict manufacturing warehouse on vacant port land that has not been used for more than two years. This modern facility will receive grains by rail and load the agri-products on to cargo vessels. It will support Canadian trade, provide jobs for B.C. workers and minimize local air quality and noise effects through the use of innovative and safe technology. Our new facility will support Canadian farmers, increase efficiency in grain exports and build strong business relationships with customers around the world. Since 2014, exports of grain and specialty crops have increased by more than 20 per cent, with India and China becoming increasingly important destinations for Canadian products. We want to help address two major constraints in getting Canadian grain to overseas customers today limited western Canada rail capacity, and a shortage of port industrial land for grain handling. By consolidating bulk grain handling in a state-of-the-art facility, we can help to increase efficiency and reduce bottlenecks in the grain supply chain while becoming a better neighbour to adjacent residents and businesses by eliminating dust and noise with modern technology. Preliminary analysis indicates that our Project will provide a direct injection ofsloo million to the local economy, and anticipated annual indirect contributions of $40 million annually.

21 Our Project will have an annual throughput of 4 Mt/a. Following demolition of two existing buildings, new construction on the site will include: Unloading station and transfer tower with fully enclosed conveying equipment and a built-in dust suppression system 34 above-ground steel storage bins (24 x 3,000 t and 1 0 x 500 t) Travelling shiploader with telescopic cascading spout to reduce dust during I vessel loading, replacing existing ship loader fitted with older technology Semi-loop rail track and holding tracks to reduce shunting during unloading Container loading facility and storage yards Rail and truck loading facility An administration building and maintenance shop Project Status We are in the preliminary review phase of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority s Project and Environmental Review Process and in early discussions with local and federal regulators. We are committed to developing a sustainable project that meets or exceeds environmental and safety standards, and provides benerts for local residents and businesses. We look forward to sharing more information with the community as it becomes available, and we welcome questions at any time.
