IDEALLY LOCATED. EASY ACCESS TO EVERYWHERE. Deltaport Logistics Centre is strategically located directly adjacent to Port of Vancouver Deltaport, Canada’s largest container-port complex and bulk commodities terminal in one of the world’s highest demand commercial real-estate markets. Sitting on approximately 300 acres, only 30 kilometres from both downtown Vancouver and the U.S. border, the initial 90 acres (Phase 1) of the Deltaport Logistics Centre has been leased to a number of high-quality tenants. TFN is now off ering the remaining 200 acres (Phase 2) to the market. Deltaport Logistics Centre is optimally positioned to capitalize on growing trade volumes associated with Deltaport and the expanding international container industry. Deltaport Logistics Centre also has connections to major highways; Deltaport Way, Highway #17 (South Fraser Perimeter Road), Highway #99, Highway #91, and 300 acres Highway #17A. These major truck routes provide connections to Delta, Vancouver, Richmond, Surrey and the US border.

Neil John Francis Griggs Department of Community and Regional Planning The University of British Columbia ^ Vancouver 8, Canada Date April, 1970 Preface This study, unlike most, is the work of two authors. Their individual contribution has resulted in a comprehensive presentation of Port Development in an urban situation. Many of the ideas presented throughout the study are jointly derived, specifically the writing of the introductory and concluding chapters, (I and VII). Chapters III, IV and VI were primarily written by Peter Tassie and Chapters II and V and Appendix IX by Neil Griggs. iv Abstract, While most research on Port Planning in the past.has focused on the marine and rail aspects, this study examines the urban influence on port development.

  • Know Ledge of Fish Ecology and Its Application to Habitat Management
    Know ledge of fish ecology and its application to habitat management Colin D. Levings 1 Levings, CD., 2004: Knowledge offish ecology and its application to habitat management; in Fraser River Delta, British Columbia: Issues of an Urban Estuary, (ed.) B.J. Groulx, D. C Mosher, J.L. Luternauer, and D.E. Bilderback; Geological Survey of Canada, Bulletin 567, p.213-236. Abstract: Information on fish habitat in th-e lower Fraser River and estuary downstream from Agassiz is presented with emphasis on geophysical factors that may be affecting fish ecology. The application to fisheries management is considered. The lower Fraser River and estuary provides habitat to support over 50 species of fish. Brief synopses are given of the ecology of commercially and ecologically significant fish. Fish communities in Boundary Bay and on Roberts Bank tend to be dominated by species adapted to marine conditions. Some brackish-water species are found in the salt wedge and on Sturgeon Bank. Our knowledge of fish ecology in the lower Fraser River and estuary is based on a patchwork of studies. To enable good management of this world-class estuary into the twenty-first century, it is prudent for stakeholders to foster ongoing programs of integrated fisheries ecosystem research in this area. Resume: eet article presente I' information disponible sur I' habitat du poisson dans Ie bas Fraser et son estuaire en aval d' Agassiz, en soulignant les facteurs geophysiques susceptibles d' influer sur I' ecologie du poisson.

RBT2 – Archaeological Overview Assessment November 2014 Technical Report/Technical Data Report Disclaimer The Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency determined the scope of the proposed Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project (RBT2 or the Project) and the scope of the assessment in the Final Environmental Impact Statement Guidelines (EISG) issued January 7, 2014. The scope of the Project includes the project components and physical activities to be considered in the environmental assessment. The scope of the assessment includes the factors to be considered and the scope of those factors. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) has been prepared in accordance with the scope of the Project and the scope of the assessment specified in the EISG. For each component of the natural or human environment considered in the EIS, the geographic scope of the assessment depends on the extent of potential effects. At the time supporting technical studies were initiated in 2011, with the objective of ensuring adequate information would be available to inform the environmental assessment of the Project, neither the scope of the Project nor the scope of the assessment had been determined.

V6N 3J9 November 2004 33863 Vancouver Port Authority Northwest Hydraulic Consultants Ltd/Triton Consultants Ltd. Roberts Bank Container Expansion File: 33863 Coastal Geomorphology Study – Appendix B - i - November 2004 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This appendix summarizes the development, calibration, testing and verification of a suite of two-dimensional hydrodynamic models for assessing project impacts associated with the Deltaport Third Berth Project. The terms of reference for the study identified the area of interest to be modelled as follows: “Extending north to the mouth of the main arm near Steveston, south to Point Roberts, west to the 100 m depth contour and east to the highwater mark”. The model development was carried out in three phases. The first phase involved tidal modelling studies in the Strait of Georgia, Juan de Fuca Strait and around Vancouver Island using Tide2D. This “Wide Area Model” was used to provide tidal height and tidal current boundary conditions along a line in the deeper waters of Strait of Georgia parallel to Roberts Bank extending from just north of Sandheads at the mouth of the Fraser River to the southern tip of Point Roberts. These boundary conditions were used primarily to drive other detailed tidal models of the Roberts Bank inter-causeway area. The second phase involved developing a Base Model to simulate hydrodynamic conditions in the Fraser estuary, Roberts Bank tidal flats and adjacent portions of the Strait of Georgia.

  • I Would Like to Add My Voice to That of the Many Residents of Delta Who Are Urging You to Hold a Full Panel Review of Port Metro Vancouver`S Terminal 2 Proposal
    <contact information and signatures removed> From: To: Roberts Bank [CEAA] Subject: Environmental Review of Terminal 2 Proposal Date: November 30, 2013 7:01:48 PM I would like to add my voice to that of the many residents of Delta who are urging you to hold a full panel review of Port Metro Vancouver`s Terminal 2 proposal. Persons with more scientific expertise than myself have, I am sure, provided extensive reasons why the most detailed and comprehensive review of this project is needed. I would like to mention a few of the issues I believe are most compelling from my perspective as a recently retired financial and economic analyst. Only a few years ago there were only two container berths at Roberts Bank. When the third birth was added the cumulative impact of planned development was not considered as the prospective Terminal 2 project was ruled irrelevant as it had not been `formally` proposed at that point, even though it was no secret that it was in the planning horizon of the port. If Terminal 2 goes ahead it must be seen as a tripling of previous capacity, not just a doubling from current capacity with the recent completion the third berth. This of course means at least three times the environmental impact already absorbed by the Fraser estuary and surrounding area from an already problematic level of development. It is this sort of sleight of hand, transparent as it is, that creates cynicism among residents about both the proponent and regulatory bodies. Only a full panel review can hope to restore any confidence regarding the impartiality and objectivity of the process.
