  • Public Comments – PT4 # Date Received Text of Email/Letter 1. 27
    Public Comments – PT4 # Date Text of email/letter Received 1. 27-Oct-14 The efficiency plan is most important for the future of BC Ferries and coastal transportation in British Columbia. I support the analysis done regarding LNG, changes in vessels, the Horseshoe Bay terminal and south Gulf Island ferry network. The refurbishment of Horseshoe Bay terminal is one potential massive capital cost that should force every option for Vancouver Island to Mainland and Mainland to Sunshine Coast/Bowen Island to be examined. I would strongly suggest pursuing a fixed link between Sunshine Coast and Howe Sound, either via Squamish or bridges or tunnels further south. This would alleviate the need for this costly investment and give Sunshine Coast residents a more reliable fixed link. Tolls could either be the same as the ferry cost or lower, depending upon amortization time for a fixed link investment. If the link were far enough south, the Departure Bay to Mainland ferry could relocate to Langford. This would leave the possibility for redeveloping Horseshoe Bay, giving BC Ferries some capital for debt repayment or the other sizable capital expenditures needing to be made. Departure Bay Terminal should also be examined for redevelopment. Better access to the Sunshine Coast would much more likely provide stronger loading (and higher revenues) on the Powell River ferries, both between Earls Cove and Saltery Bay and between Comox and Powell River. Could Route 30 have its operating balance improved? Certainly if Horseshoe Bay to Departure Bay, route 2 traffic were all diverted to route 30, it would improve, but its $30 million per year deficit is large owing to its long sailing time, 2 hours versus 1 hour and 40 minutes compared to route 2.

  • Proposed Woodfibre LNG Project – Comments #201 – 300, Table 3 of 17
    Woodfibre LNG Project EAO Public Comment Period (January 23 to March 23, 2015) Tracking Table - Comments 201 to 300 May 2015 Proposed Woodfibre LNG Project – Comments #201 – 300, Table 3 of 17 The following table includes Woodfibre LNG Limited’s responses to comments #201 - 300 submitted to the BC Environmental Assessment Office (EAO) as part of the 60-day public comment period held between January 22 and March 23, 2015. The following table is sorted chronologically. Where multiple comments were received in one submission, they have been separated to allow for specific responses. EAO has reviewed the public’s comments and Woodfibre LNG Limited’s responses and is satisfied that Woodfibre LNG Limited has addressed the public’s comments for the purpose of the Application stage of the Environmental Assessment for the proposed Woodfibre LNG Project. The time and effort taken by those who submitted comments to EAO during the public comment period is appreciated and all of the comments received will be considered in the Environmental Assessment of the proposed Woodfibre LNG Project. Comment Date Received Author Comment Issue / Theme Proponent’s Response EAO’s Response # Additional information on the vessel wakes, including the effects at the shore, was provided to the EAO on April 23, 2015. This study examines wake wash associated with passage of LNG carriers, escort tugs, worker ferries, and existing BC ferries. This additional study confirmed that based on the low speed at which the LNG carriers will travel in Howe Sound, vessel wakes are expected to be very small, essentially at the verge of wake formation.
