Wayne Rowe, Mayor of Gibsons, BC. 474 S. Fletcher Rd., Gibsons, BC, VON WO Dear Mayor Rowe: Re: Metis Recognition on November 16' "Louis Riel Day" On behalf of the United Canadian Metis Nation (UCMN) [formerly Vancouver Mans Citizens Society] and its many members living on the Sunshine Coast, we wish to request that the Town of Gibsons again recognize the Metis and their contributions to the early development of British Columbia and Canada. The President and several of its directors are residents of the Sunshine Coast. Our purpose is twofold: 1. To again bring to your attention a landmark day in Metis history — November 16th — a commemorative day that is celebrated by Metis people in British Columbia and across Canada. This occasion was formally recognized by Gibsons in 2014, 2015, and 2016 by the issuance of a Metis Cultural Awareness Week Proclamation, and by the flying of the Metis Infinity Flag in 2016. 2. To request that you again this year formally recognize the significance of November 16, 2017 to the Metis of your community by: (a) The issuance of a Proclamation declaring Louis Riel Day or Metis Cultural Awareness Week. The Proclamation would be similar to those issued in the past by Gibsons, the Province of British Columbia and cities such as Victoria, Surrey, Nanaimo, Penticton, and many others. (b) Publicly flying the Metis Infinity Flag as was done in 2015 and 2016 on the grounds of the British Columbia Parliament Buildings. In conjunction therewith UCMN will invite local Metis people in your community to participate in the raising of the Metis Flag and any associated cultural events on Louis Riel Day. To provide information with respect to this Request we enclose copies of the following: (i) A Proclamation previously issued by the BC Provincial Government on November 16, 2016. (ii) Two informative articles on "Louis Riel — a Metis Hero and Icon" and on "Raising the Metis Flag on Louis Riel Day" by noted BC Metis Historians George and Terry Goulet of Gibsons, BC. The Metis have a rich and fabulous history in British Columbia dating back over 200 years. There are some 70,000 self-identifying Metis in the Province. The Metis are officially recognized in section 35 of the Constitution Act of Canada, 1982 and in section 91(24) of the Constitution Act of Canada, 1867 as one of the Indigenous peoples of Canada. The UCMN website is http://www.vmcs.ca and it contains articles on Metis history, heritage, culture, and events and activities carried on by the Vancouver Metis Citizens Society. If LouJ1re any qu or comments, please contact the undersigned.

Page 16 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 LOUIS RIEL A Metis Hero and Icon By George and Terry Goulet

The historical Metis were the descendants of the union of European men and First Nations women. They developed their own unique shared customs, culture, history, and heritage. They were known as the children of the fur trade. The great hero and icon of the Metis is Louis Riel who was born in the Red River Settlement of Rupert's Land in 1844. In 1870, when he was only 25 years old, the charismatic Riel was elected by the Metis and white settlers as President of the Provisional Government of Red River that was responsible for bringing the Province of Manitoba into the Canadian Federation. Subsequently in 1884 the settlers of the Canadian colony of what is now Saskatchewan sent a delegation of Metis and white settlers to Montana to plead with Riel to return with them to the North West Territories. They wanted him to help them obtain their rights and to seek remedies for their grievances against Canada. It is not possible in a short article to give a comprehensive account of the events surrounding this important part of Canadian history. Accordingly we are providing a number of rhetorical questions to highlight some of significant matters relating to Louis Riel and the Metis people.

.Did you know that among those things they were attempting to achieve were responsible government, parliamentary representation, land grants and title, income for hospitals and schools, better provisions for First Nations, and Provincial status? • Did you know that that at the time of the Red River Resistance of 1869-70 Canada consisted of only four Provinces - Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia? • Did you know that at that time Red River, as part of Rupert's Land, was not part of Canada, that Canada had no jurisdiction over it, and as a result the Red River Resistance was not a "rebellion" against Canada? • Did you know that at the time of the 1885 Northwest Uprising, the North West Territories (now Saskatchewan and Alberta) was a colony of Canada and the residents were being treated as second-class citizens? •Did you know that the armed conflict and first bloodshed of the Northwest Uprising was initiated not by the Metis but by "Gentleman Joe" McKay? On the instructions of his Superior North West Mounted Police Major Lief Crozier, McKay shot at point blank range and killed both the Metis Isadore Dumont and a First Nation representative Assywin, who had come in order to parley with Crozier and McKay. • Did you know that there were serious judicial, political, and legal improprieties related to Riel's 1885 trial for High Treason including secret correspondence between the Minister of Justice and the Chief Justice of Manitoba? • Did you know that during the Northwest Uprising Riel never fired a shot or killed anyone? • Did you know that Riel's lawyers disobeyed his specific instructions for a trial on the merit of his actions, and without his authorization attempted to prove him insane on the instruction of some mysterious "others"? • Did you know that Charles Fitzpatrick, the lead lawyer for Riel, had a serious conflict of interest in acting for him, since Fitzpatrick was a law partner and brother-in-law of Adolphe Caron, the Minister of Militia who sent the Canadian Troops to crush Riel, the Metis and the Northwest Uprising? • Did you know that there were 72 people charged with Treason as a result of the Northwest Uprising? • Did you know that of these 72 people, 71 were charged with Treason-Felony under a Canadian Statute and only one, Louis Riel, was charged under an archaic 1351 Statute of Treasons of England?

Page 17 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 • Did you know that under the Canadian Statute the maximum penalty for those charged was imprisonment, but under the 534 year old English Statute under which Riel was charged, he could be executed on conviction? 'Did you know that with respect to levying war, the 1351 Statute of Treasons applied only in the King's "Realm" that consisted only of England, Wales and the four narrow seas abutting them? .Did you know that the Northwest Uprising took place in what is now Saskatchewan, and NOT in the King's Realm, and consequently Riel was improperly charged, convicted and executed under that Statute? The following is a brief account of Louis Riel, the most remarkable person in Metis history. As their iconic leader, he represents all those valiant Metis who fought for basic human rights not only for the Metis but for other Canadians. The dynamic Riel was a natural-born leader whose life profoundly influenced Canadian society and politics, the founding of Manitoba, and the rights of Western Canadians. His impact continues to this day and will continue into the future. Highly intelligent, well-educated and a compelling orator, he was elected to the Parliament of Canada on three separate occasions while he was still in his twenties although due to politics he was never able to take his seat. His fascinating life combined the heights of success and the depths of defeat, the sacred and the profane. To some he conjoined fame and infamy; to others he was an iconoclast who became an icon. To Riel himself he had a prophetic mission — to lead and champion his people, the Metis, in having their grievances remedied, their

Louis Riel which stands adjacent to the magnificent Manitoba Legislative Buildings in Winnipeg reads in part: In 1992, the Parliament of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba formally recognized Riel's contribution to the development of the Canadian Confederation and his role, and that of the Metis, as founders of Manitoba," Many of the demands in the Bill of Rights he championed for the Metis and for Westerners in 1885 came to pass after his unjust execution. Results of his leadership of the Metis include Manitoba becoming a Province of Canada in 1870; the people of what is now Saskatchewan and Alberta winning the right to vote and be elected Members of Parliament in 1886, responsible government in 1887, and Provincial status in 1905. Other notable outcomes inspired by Riel's life include the Metis people being specifically recognized as an Aboriginal rights-bearing people in the Constitution Act of Canada, 1982 and his being looked upon by the Metis as a hero and their greatest symbol. Riel has been the subject of stage, radio, film, opera, television, documentaries, monuments, and a postage stamp. More books, biographies, songs, and articles have been written about this charismatic Metis icon than any other person in the history of Canada. Riel is honored every year in a number of Canadian cities with flag raising ceremonies. These are held at city halls and other public places including his grave site in St. Boniface. Manitoba's statutory Family Holiday in February has been named "Louis Riel Day". Louis Riel is an inspiration to Metis people. It is as a result of his dedication, leadership, and legacy that the Metis today can be "PROUD TO BE METIS". His fight for basic human rights and democracy in Western Canada is truly memorable. Is Riel a hero? If a hero is one who forfeits his life as a result of fighting for the rights of his people and others in a just cause, then Louis Riel is a hero not only to the Metis but also to all Canadians who believe in and fight for basic human rights.

LONG LIVE THE MEMORY OF LOUIS RIEL 0 George and Terry Goulet September 2011

Page 18 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 RAISING THE METIS FLAG ON LOUIS RIEL DAY BY GEORGE & TERRY GOULET Many cities and municipalities in Canada annually honor the Metis people and their heroic leader Louis Riel by flying the Metis Infinity Flag at their city or municipal halls on November 16th, the day of Riel's unjust execution in 1885. Riel was executed for high treason under an archaic and inapplicable 534 year old Statute of Treasons of Great Britain In the past the Province of British Columbia as well as cities and municipalities across Canada that have proudly displayed the Metis flag are Victoria, Prince George, Williams Lake, Grand Forks, Cranbrook, Dawson Creek, Calgary, Medicine Hat, Edmonton, St. Albert, Regina, Prince Albert, Toronto, St. Catherines, Welland, Guelph, Oshawa, and many others. Riel, the Father of Manitoba and champion of democracy and human rights for his people and other Westerners, was put on trial and hanged in Regina, the capital of what is now Saskatchewan. It is fascinating to note that today (more than 125 years after his execution) the city of Regina flies the Metis flag at its City Hall 365 days a year every year. On November 16, 2016, for the first time the Government of Canada raised the Metis flag on Parliament Hill at a commemorative ceremony in honour of Louis Riel. In various areas of Canada, Riel has been commemorated by statues, schools, buildings, streets, and a bridge. He has been memorialized in an opera, a stamp, documentaries, biographies, articles, songs, pop culture and in other areas. The Province of Manitoba has named its Statutory Family Holiday as Louis Riel Day. In 1992, the Parliament of Canada and the Legislative Assembly of Manitoba formally recognized the contribution of Louis Riel to the development of the Canadian Confederation and his role and that of the Metis as Founders of the Province of Manitoba. A monumental statue of Louis Riel stands adjacent to the Manitoba Legislative Buildings and is accompanied by a plaque outlining this achievement. Every year on November 16th there is a Provincial Louis Riel Day ceremony and the raising of the Metis flag in Toronto at the Parliament Buildings of Ontario and in 2015 and 2016 it was raised at the Parliament Buildings of British Columbia. On that November date, there is a Louis Riel commemoration held in the rotunda of the Alberta Legislative Building. Some cities in British Columbia have issued proclamations relating to the Metis. For example, the city of Nanaimo designated November 12 to November 17, 2012 as "Metis Cultural Awareness Week".

Page 19 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 The term "Metis" primarily indicates a person of mixed maternal North American Indigenous (Aboriginal) and paternal European ancestry, mainly French and Scottish. The historical Metis were a unique indigenous people. Trailblazing Metis first arrived in British Columbia over 200 years ago. They have been called the "children of the fur trade" who contributed to the exploration and development of British Columbia and to its history, heritage and culture. A few of many notable Metis in the history of British Columbia are: (i) the first Lady of British Columbia Amelia Connolly Douglas (wife of Sir James Douglas, "Father of British Columbia"); (ii) Joseph William McKay, the Founder of Nanaimo; (iii) Josette Legace Work, pioneer Matriarch and grandmother of Metis Premier Simon Fraser Tolmie; and (iv) Jack Poole, Chairman of the Vancouver Organizing Committee and the Committee that was responsible for bringing the 2010 Winter Olympics to British Columbia. In recognition of the role that the Metis people played in the history of the Province, the British Columbia Government in its Order dated October 16, 2016 recognized and designated "Louis Rid l Day" and stated in its Proclamation:

4 4 . . . . the Metis people and their descendants have significantly contributed to the exploration, growth and development of Canada; and .... Louis Riel was a Humanitarian and an advocate for the Metis people, and one of the Metis people's foremost historic leaders who strived for justice and rights of the Metis people as Manitoba joined Confederation; and .... the Province of British Columbia honours Metis history and culture, Louis Riel's place in Canadian history, and the Province's valued relationship with the Metis people of the Province of British Columbia."

TO: Council MEETING DATE: November 7, 2017

FROM: Dave Newman FILE NO: 5600-31 Director of Engineering

SUBJECT: SCRD Groundwater Investigation

RECOMMENDATION(S)

THAT the Director of Engineering's report regarding the SCRD Groundwater Investigation be received;

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE

At the October 19, 2017 SCRD Infrastructure Service Committee, SCRD staff presented a report regarding the results of a groundwater investigation to supplement the Chapman Creek water supply. The SCRD consultant, Waterline Resources Inc., examined twelve sites for potential groundwater production; this list was narrowed down to four sites in the following areas:

• Mahan Road • Gray Creek • Soames/Granthams • Chapman/Sechelt

Page 27 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Committee regarding the SCRD Groundwater Investigation 2

The Mahan site is of particular concern for the Town as it would tap into the Gibsons Aquifer that the Town uses for most of its water supply. Of lesser concern is the Soames Granthams site, which is near the Gibsons Aquifer, but is likely not hydraulically connected.

SUMMARY

1. On October 19, 2017, SCRD staff presented a report to the SCRD Infrastructure Committee which recommended the drilling of four test wells at various locations within the SCRD to determine an appropriate groundwater source to supplement the Chapman Creek water source (SCRD report attached). One of the recommended locations for drilling is on Mahan Road, just west of Inglis Road which would draw water from the Gibsons Aquifer.

2. The Town conducted an Aquifer Mapping Study between 2009 and 2013 (the Study), with the final report being completed in May 2013. Several scenarios were completed to determine the long-term capacity of the Gibsons Aquifer. Variables included changes in demand, climate change and sea level rise. "Climate change/variability and the effects on aquifer recharge are somewhat uncertain and can only be quantified by long-term monitoring trends and assessing cause and effect response in the aquifer." (Aquifer Mapping Study, p 86, Waterline, 2013).

Aquifer modelling results show that, in the absence of climate change or sea level rise, "the Gibsons Aquifer could accommodate the required volume extractions [for 73% of the full buildout of the Town]."(Waterline, pg 86). Should the SCRD pursue drilling a supply well in the Gibsons Aquifer, it could seriously impact the Town's ability to supply adequate water to the ultimate population of pressure zones 1 and 2;

3. The Town's Study made several recommendations including that a Groundwater Management Zone be established. "A Groundwater Management Zone defines an area and depth for activities that the Town and the SCRD participate in to sustain and to protect the Gibsons Aquifer and the Town's groundwater supply." (Waterline, p 101)

The Study further recommends that the Town collaborate with the SCRD to establish a Water Management Plan (WMP). The Town and SCRD should consider collaborating to develop a WMP that considers both surface water and groundwater resources in the region... For instance, establishing development permit areas within the Town and the SCRD may be needed to control the activities that may affect the sustainability and protection of the Gibsons Aquifer." (Waterline, p 102)

Neither a Groundwater Management Zone nor a Water Management Plan have been explored yet in what was envisioned to be a fringe area agreement.

4. The Town has taken the following actions consistent with the recommendations from the Study:

• Universal metering • Creation of DPA9 in the Town's OCP • Ban of all drilling in the Town (zoning and OCP) • Revision of the Town's Water Regulation Bylaw with a section dedicated to the Protection of the Gibsons Aquifer

Page 28 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Committee regarding the SCRD Groundwater Investigation 3

• Adoption of a Water Use and Conservation Policy • Annual groundwater monitoring program • Implementation of a formalized well maintenance program • Annual watermain replacement program to reduce water losses from the Town's system

5. The Water Sustainability Act and the first phase of regulations were brought into force on February 29, 2016. The Town has applied for licences for all four supply wells; the applications are now being reviewed by the Ministry.

DISCUSSION

1 SCRD Groundwater Investigation

The SCRD's Comprehensive Regional Water Plan makes the following statement:

"The volume of water needed by the SCRD will require a highly productive aquifer, namely sand/gravel material. The Langdale, Gibsons Landing and Chaster Creek aquifers are currently utilized by the SCRD and Town of Gibsons. Ultimate capacities of these aquifers are unknown because detailed hydrological evaluation has not been completed. The Chapman Creek aquifer and the Angus Creek aquifer would also warrant exploration." (p 8-7).

The SCRD Plan was finalized in June 2013 and the Town's Aquifer Mapping Study was finalized the month prior.

On December 15, 2016 the SCRD awarded a contract to Waterline Resources Inc to provide hydrogeological services and a subsequent report pertaining to a Groundwater Investigation study.

Stage 1 of the Groundwater Investigation study consisted of a hydrogeological desktop study to identify aquifers contained within the Chapman Creek Water Service area. The desktop study was supplemented by site inspections. The purpose of the Stage 1 investigation was to identify the most promising aquifer(s) to pursue with test drilling in Stage 2 of the investigation.

Twelve potential well locations were examined. The final site rankings identified four focus areas and indicated preferred drilling site in each area as follows:

• Elphinstone (West of Town of Gibsons boundary): Site ld on Mahan Road (see circled area in Figure 28 from the Town's Aquifer Mapping Study on the following page);

• Chapman/Sechelt: Site 2b located adjacent to the District of Sechelt Operations Yard on Dusty Road;

• Gray Creek: Site 3 located on Sechelt Inlet Road near the parking area south of the Gray Creek Bridge; and

• Soames/Granthams: Site 4; next to the Soames Point Reservoir.

The SCRD report and the Waterline study results are appended to this report.

Page 29 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Committee regarding the SCRD Groundwater Investigation 4

2. Aquifer Mapping Study

In 2013, Waterline Resources completed an extensive aquifer mapping study for the Town. The resulting document has become a guiding resource and strategy for the Town in managing the groundwater source which supplies potable water to almost 75% of the Town.

One of the key outcomes from the Study was to determine if there is adequate water in the Aquifer to supply water to the Town to ultimate buildout, i.e., supply aquifer water to 73% of the projected ultimate population of 10,000. Moving forward, some parameters that will affect the aquifer include water demand, sea level rise, and changes to the recharge characteristics of the aquifer through short or long term climate change

[for 73% of the full buildout of the Town]... (pg 86, Aquifer Mapping Study, Waterline, 2013). There are numerous variables that can affect the Town's ability to draw adequate water for full buildout of the current service area (zones 1 and 2). "Climate change/variability and the effects on aquifer recharge are somewhat uncertain and can only be quantified by long-term monitoring trends and assessing cause and effect response in the aquifer." (p 86, Waterline, 2013)

Ongoing monitoring is one of the more important activities that can be undertaken in the management of the aquifer to assist in determining the long-term effects of demand, climate change and sea level rise. Since the initiation of the Aquifer Mapping Study in 2009, the Town has completed an annual groundwater monitoring program to collect data on the aquifer to assist in moving the model of the aquifer from theoretical to empirical.

Page 30 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Committee regarding the SCRD Groundwater Investigation 5

Also, the Study recommends expanding the scope of the monitoring before considering significant additional draw on the aquifer. "In addition to monitoring the existing well network, additional wells will likely need to be installed in advance of significant development [read — increased demand, e.g., use by the SCRD] in order to understand the cumulative effects that the proposed development will have on the aquifer. "(p 91, Waterline, 2013)

3. Collaborative Water Management

The Town's Aquifer Mapping Study is a public document and was drawn on heavily by Waterline Resources in completing the SCRD study. Having the same consultant who completed the Town's Study also completing the SCRD investigation was seen by Town staff as an excellent opportunity to expand the knowledge of water on the Sunshine Coast. To date, the SCRD has not engaged the Town during the course of their investigation, it is also unclear whether any consideration was given to some of the recommendations of the Study which specifically recommends collaboration between the SCRD and the Town in establishing a groundwater management zone and a water management plan before considering drawing significant additional water from the Gibsons Aquifer and expanding the area serviced by the aquifer.

Water supply for the Coast must be completed in a collaborative manner. The Town's study recognizes that the Town and the SCRD cannot operate independently in the area of ground and surface water management:

• "The purpose of a Groundwater Management Framework is to provide tools that allow the Town to develop and implement ongoing practices and activities that support the sustainable management of the Gibsons Aquifer. A Water Management Plan (WMP) is a master document that outlines the approach for a community to achieve a balance between water consumption and environmental protection, while considering economic, social and ecological objectives. The Town and SCRD should consider collaborating to develop a WMP that considers both surface water and groundwater resources in the region"

• Under the section of Integration of Groundwater Management into Bylaws and Policies the following statement is made: "As shown on Figure 28, aquifer boundaries do not necessarily coincide with watershed or jurisdictional boundaries. The aquifer management must therefore be a joint effort and will need to incorporate several watersheds and accommodate numerous stakeholders."

It is only recently that Town staff have had a conversation with SCRD staff who have communicated the intention to engage the Town and other affected parties to discuss their plans for increasing the SCRD water supply through the use of groundwater.

5. Water Sustainability Act

The legislation regulating groundwater in BC is the Water Sustainability Act which came into effect in February 2016. As of February 29, 2016, all non-domestic groundwater users including existing users are required to apply for a water license, and pay an application fee and annual water rentals. The Town has completed registration application requirements all four of its supply wells; the applications are currently being reviewed by the Ministry of Environment.

One of the outcomes of being granted a groundwater license is that it provides a priority for water users where, in this instance, the Town would be granted precedence over anyone drilling a well into the Gibsons Aquifer after the date of the Town's well installation, creating a "first in time first in right" scenario. The relevant dates for the Town wells are:

o Well 1: 1966 o Well 2: 1975 o Well 3: 1984 o Well 4: 2000

The Town has applied for a license for up to 500,000 cubic metres per year based on our recent historical water usage. This amount is inadequate to provide water to the ultimate buildout of Zones 1 and 2.

PLAN/POLICY IMPLICATIONS

Strategic Plan Implications

• The recommendations in this report are consistent with "Advancing our Eco-Asset Strategy".

• As impacts to the Gibsons Aquifer could also affect the scope and/or timing of additional engineered infrastructure, it is also consistent with "Ensuring resilience of our engineered infrastructure."

Financial Plan Implications

• Establishing a Groundwater Management Plan and a Groundwater Management Zone would likely require assistance from a consulting firm to augment the required staff time.

• Impacts to the Town's water supply resulting in changes in scope or timing of additional water infrastructure would affect the Town's future financial position.

Other Policy or Plan Implications

The recommendations are consistent with the Town's 2013 Aquifer Mapping Study, the Official Community Plan, and the Town's Water Strategy.

SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL DISTRICT STAFF REPORT

TO: Infrastructure Services Committee – October 19, 2017

AUTHOR: Dave Crosby, Manager Utility Services – Special Projects

SUBJECT: GROUNDWATER INVESTIGATION TO SUPPLEMENT CHAPMAN CREEK WATER SUPPLY

RECOMMENDATION(S)

THAT the report titled Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply be received;

AND THAT recommendations from the Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply Report be brought forward to the 2018 Budget process.

BACKGROUND

The Groundwater Investigation project was included in the 2013 Comprehensive Regional Water Plan in order to identify possible groundwater sites that could supplement the Chapman Creek water supply. The following recommendation was put forth at the July 8, 2016 Corporate and Administrative Services Committee Meeting:

Recommendation No. 4 Stage 1 Groundwater Investigation Scope of Work

The Corporate and Administrative Services committee recommended that staff report to the September 2016 Infrastructure Services Committee meeting regarding the draft scope of work for the Stage 1 Groundwater Investigation project Request for Proposals.

The following resolution was adopted at the Regular Board meeting of September 22, 2016:

381/16

Recommendation No. 3 Groundwater Investigation Scope of Work

THAT the report titled “Regional Water Groundwater Investigation Scope of Work” be received for information.

On December 15, 2016 the Regional District awarded Contract No. 16 272 to Waterline Resources Inc. to provide hydrogeological services and subsequent report pertaining to the Groundwater Investigation study. Staff have provided regular updates to the Committee through the Budget Project Status Report and Department Quarterly Reports.

DISCUSSION

Page 35 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Staff Report to Infrastructure Services Committee – October 19, 2017 Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply Page 2 of 3

A Stage 1 decision matrix was developed to provide rankings for each site identified as having possible groundwater potential. The matrix is based on the following criteria:

 hydrogeological feasibility  community need  infrastructure requirements and costs  land tenure  water quality  stakeholder concerns  environmental impacts; and  regulatory requirements.

Twelve potential well locations were examined. The final site rankings identified four focus areas and indicates at least one preferred drilling site in each area as follows:

 Elphinstone (West of Town of Gibsons boundary): Site 1d on Mahan Road;  Chapman/Sechelt: Site 2b located adjacent to the District of Sechelt Operations Yard on Dusty Road;  Gray Creek: Site 3 located on Sechelt Inlet Road near the parking area south of the Gray Creek Bridge; and,  Soames/Granthams: Site 4; next to the Soames Point Reservoir.

Waterline Resources Inc. will be presenting their findings to the Infrastructure Services Committee at the October 19, 2017 meeting. SCRD Staff have provided this report as information to the appropriate staff at the other Sunshine Coast local governments.

Aligned with this project, Staff have and will continue to coordinate internally with other departments to identify opportunities for groundwater to serve SCRD services such as recreation facilities and parks.

Financial Implications

The estimated cost to move forward with Stage 2 of the Groundwater Investigation study, which includes drilling and well installation at four sites, hydrogeological support during the field work, 48 hour pump testing, water quality testing and a technical report is $325,000.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND RELATED POLICIES

The Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply directly links to the set of values identified in the Strategic Plan.

More specifically, the Groundwater Investigation aligns with the following Strategic Priorities:

Strategic Priority: Enhance Collaboration with shíshálh and Skwxwu7mesh Nations by respecting their review/comment process and their rights.

Strategic Priority: Embed Environmental Leadership through the responsible management of the regions’ water supply.

Page 36 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Staff Report to Infrastructure Services Committee – October 19, 2017 Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply Page 3 of 3

The Comprehensive Regional Water Plan recommends to undertake a groundwater investigation (CRWP, p. 8-12).

CONCLUSION

The Groundwater Investigation study has identified 12 locations to be examined for potential groundwater production, of which four sites have been recommended by the Consultant based on the decision matrix that will require test drilling, water quality and yield testing and final assessment.

Staff will prepare a Budget Proposal for consideration to the 2018 Budget as described in the Groundwater Investigation Study.

1.0 INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND The Chapman regional water distribution network relies primarily on surface water from Chapman Creek to service its residents. Waterline Resources Ltd. (Waterline) understands that the Chapman Creek water treatment plant is equipped to process 24.5 million liters a day, while the Selma No. 2 reservoir has the capacity of just over 15 million liters. There are 11 storage reservoirs in use by the SCRD, located in Electoral areas B, D, E, F, and the District of Sechelt (Figure 1). Chapman Creek provides approximately 98% of the water which is consumed by residents throughout the Chapman Creek System. The system is reliant on sufficient precipitation during the spring, summer and fall months to maintain usable water levels in Chapman Creek. Recent inconsistent amounts of precipitation have caused the SCRD to investigate the feasibility of supplementing the Chapman Creek water supply with a reliable source of groundwater.

In order to secure a reliable long-term source of safe groundwater, the SCRD is seeking to identify the location(s) and relevant parameters of any aquifers in the vicinity of the Chapman Water System. The suitability of aquifers for use as drinking water supply is dependent on location relative to the service area infrastructure, anticipated yield, water quality, infrastructure costs and maintenance/operations costs, and environmental impacts of groundwater extraction, including potential impacts on nearby surface water. A Phase 1 desk-top study was commissioned by the SCRD in December 2016. Waterline was selected to complete the work.

1.1 Objectives The objective of the desktop-based study is to identify the most promising aquifer(s) with in the SCRD to pursue as drilling targets in Stage 2 of the overall SCRD project. For an aquifer to be deemed suitable for use as a long-term water supply, it must have a high enough yield and be of good water quality. In consultation with Vancouver Coastal Health Authority (VCHA), the water quality will determine whether treatment prior to consumption is required.

1.2 Scope of Work Waterline developed a scope of work to meet the SCRD objectives. The following tasks were completed during the study:

• Project kick-off meeting; • Public data review and integration with site specific data provided by SCRD; • Conceptual hydrogeological model development of SCRD aquifers; • Progress report and selection of up to 12 preliminary aquifer target areas; • Assessment of environmental impact and regulatory implications; • Field reconnaissance visit of preliminary aquifer targets; • Assessment of Class 3 drilling and testing cost; • Development of decision matrix and selection of 4 highest ranking aquifer targets; and, • Draft/final report.

2.0 METHODOLOGY

2.1 Project Kick-off Meeting The SCRD and Waterline completed the project kick-off meeting on January 27, 2017. The key project team members included:

• Trevor Rutley, SCRD, Engineering Technician – primary contact for Waterline • Dave Crosby, SCRD, Manager of Utility Services, Special Projects • Lynda Fyfe, SCRD, Environmental Technician • Darren David, Waterline, Principal Hydrogeologist • Dalton Pajak, Waterline, Intermediate Hydrogeologist

The meeting was conducted over WebEx. Waterline completed a preliminary review of the publically available groundwater information in order to clearly identify SCRD’s study area of interest, establish a list of SCRD data required by Waterline, and discuss the project schedule.

2.2 Data Compilation and Conceptual Aquifer Model Waterline completed a review of publically available data including geological reports, water well records, physiography data, and lithology reports. In addition, the following site-specific data was incorporated into our geodatabase:

Page 42 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report on Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply 2746-16-001 SCRD Project No. 16-272 October 10, 2017 Sechelt, British Columbia Page 3 Submitted to the Sunshine Coast Regional District

• Comprehensive Regional Water Plan (OPUS Dayton Knight, 2013), • Technical Memorandum No. 4 (Section 8.2.3). (Dayton & Knight, 2007), and • Wellhead Protection Plans (Associated Environment, 2017).

The following GIS shapefiles were provided to Waterline by SCRD:

1. Land Parcel Data; 2. Easements, right-of-way’s; 3. Water infrastructure data layers, including: water mains, intakes, dams/reservoirs, chlorination stations, pump stations, hydrants, service connections, pipelines; 4. High resolution Digital Elevation Data (DEM); and 5. Water monitoring sites (surface water, soil, or groundwater) and associated water quality data.

The site specific data used to build the conceptual aquifer model included available well logs, historical pumping test results, aquifer mapping and capture zones, well head protection information, long-term groundwater level monitoring, water quality data, and groundwater-surface water interactions.

2.3 Preliminary Site Selection for Groundwater Supply Development Waterline’s goal was to process the relevant information, identify the development potential of target aquifers within the SCRD and provide suitable drilling locations in consultation with the SCRD team. The preliminary site selection for groundwater supply was predominantly based on aquifer mapping data and a technical feasibility assessment focused on water quantity (aquifer capacity) and quality. This exercise resulted in a “shortlist” of four focus areas and 12 possible drilling sites.

2.4 Field Reconnaissance of Proposed Stage 2 Drilling Locations Following desktop assessment, Waterline conducted a field visit with SCRD staff to confirm preliminary aquifer target locations. The intent of the field reconnaissance visit was to assess drilling locations in terms if site accessibility and local infrastructure. 2.5 Assessment of Environmental Impacts and New Regulatory Requirements As part of the project, Waterline also considered potential environmental impacts and regulatory approval requirements related to the drilling, installation and operation of a well in each target aquifer. For example, shallow sand and gravel aquifers in the coastal environment tend to be unconfined and thus may have limited protection from surface activities such as potential contaminants discharges (i.e., spills) that may adversely affect water quality. Aquifers located near the coast may also be vulnerable to salt water intrusion and climate change affects related sea level rise which must be considered in the analysis (Government of Canada, 2008; Ferguson and Gleeson, 2012).

As of February 29, 2016, British Columbia’s new Water Sustainability Act (WSA) requires that Municipal groundwater users licence water supply wells. The Groundwater Licence Application requirements include information regarding water works infrastructure and hydrogeological setting, such as; aquifer description, well details, estimated yield, etc. Waterline considered application requirements for submission to the BC Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) as part of the current project. Some regulatory risks exist depending on the volume of groundwater extracted, proximity to other wells, and hydraulic communication to surface. These factors were considered in the final selection of the preferred sites.

2.6 Development of Decision Matrix for Site Selection Following our site visit, Waterline developed an evaluation matrix to compare and rank the 12 preliminary target aquifer locations and select four drilling/testing sites. The following site selection criteria were considered in the evaluation:

• Hydrogeological Feasibility: Existence of an aquifer and likelihood of drilling a successful test well. For the purposes of this study, a successful test well is defined as a well that can produce more than 545 cubic metres per day (m3/d), equivalent to approximately 100 US gallons per minute (US gpm); • Community Need: The number of potential connections that could be replaced to lessen the stress on the Chapman water system; • Infrastructure Requirements and Costs: Well drilling and testing, water main tie-in, and water treatment requirements; • Land Tenure: SCRD owned, crown land, or private land; • Water Quality: Deep groundwater, bedrock fed, hydraulic connection to surface, presence of arsenic, salt water intrusion; • Stakeholder Concerns: Proximity to other water wells (E.g.: Town of Gibsons, First Nations); • Environmental Impacts and Regulatory Requirements: Regulatory constraints (e.g.: Environmental Assessment Act (EAA) trigger for a “reviewable project” involving diversions of >75 L/s, and possible Environmental Assessment requirement), Groundwater Licence Application requirements, environmental impacts, and VCHA requirements.

Although community needs were considered in the initial evaluation, it was determined that any water added to the Chapman system reduced the overall stress to all communities. Therefore this criteria was not considered in the final evaluation. As all preferred sites were located on crown or SCRD lands, the land tenure criteria became less important and was also not considered in the final evaluation.

Page 44 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report on Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply 2746-16-001 SCRD Project No. 16-272 October 10, 2017 Sechelt, British Columbia Page 5 Submitted to the Sunshine Coast Regional District

Data collected by the SCRD from water supply wells at Chaster Creek, Soames, Granthams and Langdale was used to assess the potential additional capacity of the aquifer in those respective areas. As the intent of the present study was to identify new aquifer exploration targets rather than determining if existing supply wells could provide more capacity, the SCRD wells were not included in the final ranking.

Many groundwater supply options were identified, however; some were eliminated quickly based on technical feasibility, distance to existing SCRD infrastructure, or water quality issues. For instance, bedrock aquifers were eliminated in the current study due to the generally lower productivity and poor water quality related to the presence of arsenic.

Qualitative screening of aquifer options was completed in consultation with the SCRD by ranking each parameter according to its relative importance to the project and assigning a numeric value or score. The final ranking of the various groundwater supply options was determined based on the final cumulative score by multiplying individual scores for each of the selection criteria to provide a final score. This semi-quantitative ranking assessment helped the project team further narrow down the 12 preliminary drilling targets to select the four most promising drilling locations.

2.7 High-Level Infrastructure Costs In terms of estimating costs, a Class 3 cost estimate was developed by Waterline for drilling and testing of four preferred target locations. Waterline did not provide a detailed cost assessment to tie-in to the SCRD Chapman water system because any costs relating to pump infrastructure, water treatment requirements, life-cycle operations and maintenance will entirely depend on the well capacity and groundwater quality. As this cannot be determine before a water well is drilled and tested, there was no point in attempting to develop “hypothetical” costs at this early stage.

As all target locations are relatively close to an existing distribution line, we have assumed that the capital costs for tie-in to the SCRD Chapman water system and chlorination will be equal at all sites. Given our knowledge of the groundwater in the area we believe that groundwater sources exist that may not require any treatment beyond secondary disinfection. This will require approval by VCHA.

2.8 Reporting Reporting on this project has been completed at various stages/milestones which are detailed in Table 1. This includes a progress memo and WebEx meeting to present major project components including our conceptual hydrogeological model, selection of preliminary groundwater exploration sites, decision matrix, a draft report, and the enclosed final report. In addition, Waterline will complete a Power Point Presentation at the SCRD office in Sechelt on October 19, 2017.

3.0 RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

3.1 Study Area Figure 1 shows the Chapman water distribution network. A small portion (approximately 2%) of the water servicing the SCRD is obtained from groundwater. The majority of groundwater development is along the Sunshine Coast Highway extending from Langdale to Secret Cove. Based on discussions with SCRD staff, the area between Secret Cove and Langdale was defined as the regional study area (RSA) for the groundwater exploration project (Figure 1).

3.2 Conceptual Hydrogeological Model

3.2.1 Overview of Watersheds and Aquifers Review of the hydrogeological information and development of a conceptual hydrogeological model for the entire SCRD was a highly complex task. There are over 60 watersheds in the southern part of the SCRD, 14 mapped bedrock aquifers, 9 mapped overburden aquifers, and 1385 water wells within the entire SCRD boundary (BC MOE, 2017 BC MOE, 2017). As the majority of land development is along the coast, much of the available information regarding groundwater and surface water is also found near the coast. 3.2.2 Quaternary Geology and Mapped Aquifers The landscape and landforms observed across the Sunshine Coast are the result of glacial and interglacial processes operating during the last 50,000 years. The latest and largest glaciation ia known as the Fraser Glaciation which started approximately 29,000 years before present (BP) due to a deteriorating (colder) climate. In southwestern BC, mountain glaciers formed between 19,000 and 30,000 BP before they advanced, coalesced, and thickened to create the maximum extent of the ice sheet that covered Georgia Strait nearly 15,000 BP. At this time, the ice surface was at about 2,300 metres above sea level (mASL) and towered over 1,000 m above the present- day peak of Mt. Elphinstone near the Town of Gibsons. After about 14,500 BP, the regional climate began to warm, causing ice to melt and glaciers to retreat over the next 5,000 years (Clague, 1977).

Quaternary sediments up to 300 m thick underlay the lowlands bordering the Strait of Georgia. Throughout this region, sediments were deposited during the glacial advance and retreat during older glacial and intervening interglacial cycles. Loading and unloading of the ice sheet caused significant land rebound and sea level fluctuations. Along the Strait of Georgia, sea level rose to almost 200 m above present-day sea level, leaving behind various marine deposits (eg: Capilano Sediments) across the Sunshine Coast at elevations up to 180 mASL (McCammon, 1977).

Figure 2 shows the mapped overburden (Quaternary) aquifers within the RSA. Water wells contained in the BC Water Well database are also plotted and sorted by aquifer material at the well screen. The yellow dots are wells completed in unconsolidated sands and gravels and pink dots shows wells completed in bedrock. Where aquifers were not previously mapped, Waterline

Page 46 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report on Groundwater Investigation to Supplement Chapman Creek Water Supply 2746-16-001 SCRD Project No. 16-272 October 10, 2017 Sechelt, British Columbia Page 7 Submitted to the Sunshine Coast Regional District was able to supplement the data using the BC Terrain Mapping data (Clague et al., 1977) and geology/hydrogeology data provided in water well records as shown on Figure 3. Water wells were sorted and plotted by groundwater yield at the time of drilling. As can be seen on Figure 3, there are several areas across the SCRD with high yielding wells (red dots). Well records indicate all of the high yielding wells are completed in deep sand and gravel aquifers that are the primary groundwater supply targets for this study.

3.2.3 Bedrock Geology and Mapped Aquifers Figure 4 shows the bedrock geology mapped by the BC Geological Survey (Cui et.al. 2015) across the SCRD. Water wells are also shown sorted by aquifer material occurring at the well screen. Granitic intrusions of quartz-diorite and granodiorite underlie most of the study area. The granite bedrock extends to the northeastern most part of the Town of Gibsons where it forms a sharp contact with Bowen Island Group bedrock. The Bowen Island Group is an assemblage metamorphic sedimentary and meta-volcanic rocks described as strongly foliated, fine-grained, and interbedded with green chlorite schist (Monger and Journeay, 1994; Friedman et al., 1990). Local bedrock exposures appear as pale gray, white and green fine-grained schistose meta- volcanic rock. Bedrock assemblages transition from volcanic-rich in the southeast near Bowen and Gambier Islands, to sedimentary-dominated towards the northwest near the Town of Gibsons.

Figure 5 shows the bedrock aquifers mapped between Langdale and Secret Cove (BC MOE, 2017a) along with water wells sorted by aquifer material at the screen. These bedrock aquifers are primarily developed in areas where overburden sediments were not sufficiently permeable for groundwater supply development.

Due to the generally lower permeability of bedrock and poor water quality resulting from the presence of arsenic, it was decided that bedrock aquifers would not be considered further for this project. 3.3 Preliminary Assessment of Aquifer Sites Several areas were quickly eliminated based on groundwater potential, water quality concerns, and engineering factors. These areas are summarized below in Table 2.

The Langdale area aquifer (mapped Aquifer 552, Figure 2) appears to have some additional capacity for development. However, due to the apparently smaller size of the aquifer, a decision was made to focus on other potentially larger unexplored aquifers. Bedrock aquifers mapped at Roberts Creek, Wakefield Creek, Sargeant Bay, and Halfmoon Bay (Figure 5) were all eliminated at this time for further investigation due to the generally lower expected yield and possible water quality issues related to arsenic. Unconsolidated sand and gravel aquifers in these area (BC aquifers 557 and 563, Figure 2) were also eliminated at this time based on low to moderate well yield but could be reconsidered in the future (Figure 3).

Based on the available hydrogeological information and SCRD’s current requirements, four primary areas of interest emerged from Waterline’s preliminary assessment:

1. Electoral Area E: Seven possible exploration drilling sites were identified west of the Town boundary and are shown on Figure 6 (Labelled 1a to 1f); 2. Chapman Creek/Sechelt – Three possible exploration drilling site were identified and are shown on Figure 7 (Labelled 2 a to 2c); 3. Gray Creek – One drilling site was selected and is shown on Figure 8; and 4. Soames/Granthams - One drilling site was selected and is shown on Figure 9.

The results of Waterline’s evaluation are summarized in Table 3.

3.4 Field Visit of Proposed Focus Areas The four focus areas and 12 proposed drilling sites were visited by Waterline and SCRD staff during the field reconnaissance visit on March 27th, 2017. Each site was evaluated to determine site characteristics, accessibility for drilling and testing, and proximity to existing SCRD water infrastructure. The location of possible drilling sites are plotted on Figures 6 through 9, inclusive. The following photos taken by Waterline during our field visit are provided in Appendix A.

3.5 Capacity Assessment of Chaster Road, Soames, and Granthams Wells As part of the analysis, Waterline reviewed historic water level and flow data provided by the SCRD. In addition, in June 2017 SCRD staff conducted additional tests in these wells to assess current well performance. Table 4 summarizes the well test data provided by the SCRD and Waterline’s evaluation of the data.

The well is either losing efficiency and may need to be rehabilitated or the aquifer water levels are in decline which affects future capacity. Soames 2001 9.10 NM 14.81 Data indicate consistent water production from 2008 to 2014. (?-36.9) 2008-2014 9.44-10.62 1,296-1,440 15.96-16.32 Slight drop in static level in 2014 (maybe due to winter 2013 2017 10.31 NM 15.73 drought). Similar performance in 2017 although no flow rate measured. Pumping level maintained approximately 65 mASL (Table 5). Well appears to have continued to perform efficiently over the last 18 years and also appears to have additional capacity. Langdale 2009-2011 0.78-3.14 1,392-1,488 20.49-21.77 Data indicate consistent water production from 2009 to 2017.

Although the aquifer may have additional capacity, significant drawdown of groundwater levels in the well indicates hydraulic inefficiencies due to poor well design or insufficient development. Notes: mbtoc means meters below top of casing, NM means not measured

As indicated previously, the main purpose of the present study was to identify new aquifer exploration targets rather than determining if existing supply wells could provide more capacity. Therefore, existing SCRD wells were not included in the final ranking.

3.6 Decision Matrix and Final Site Selection Further screening of exploration drilling options was completed in consultation with the SCRD using the key selection criteria previously described. In the analysis, each parameter was weighted equally; however, technical considerations or feasibility is most important as it gauges the likelihood of drilling a successful supply well to meet the SCRD water requirements.

The final ranking of the various exploration drilling options was determined based on a total score obtained by multiplying individual scores for each of the selection criteria. This semi-quantitative ranking assessment helped to further narrow down the 12 preliminary locations identified by Waterline during the preliminary assessment. The highest rank represents the likely “preferred” site for each exploration area. It should be cautioned however, that numerical ranking of options gives the appearance of a fully quantitative assessment but some of the criteria are very subjective and can therefore be misleading. The SCRD should exercise great care and consideration in reviewing the final options as it is possible that other factors can affect the final site selection that have not been considered in the assessment.

Numerical ranks ranged from 1 indicating a low or unfavorable rank, moderate rank=2, and high or favorable rank=3. The detailed assessment table is provided in Appendix B and summarized in Table 5 below.

The results of the final site rankings indicates at least one preferred drilling site in each of the focus areas as follows:

• Electoral Area E: Site 1C and/or 1D on Mahan Road (1D preferred due to better access and closer to the center of the Gibsons Aquifer); • Gray Creek: Site 3 located near the parking are south of the bridge; • Soames/Granthams: Site 4; Drill a new well at higher elevation next to the storage reservoir, and • Chapman/Sechelt: Site 2b located at the District of Sechelt Operations Yard.

It should be noted that there is some value in further assessing the condition and long-term capacity of existing SCRD wells located at Chaster Road, Soames Point, and Granthams Landing. It may be possible to rehabilitate or retrofit some or all of these wells which could be less costly than drilling new wells. However, if a new well was drilled in each of these areas then the existing wells could be retired or serve as backup or be rehabilitated in order to add more capacity to the SCRD system. 3.7 Cost Evaluation Although the SCRD proposal request called for a “high level” cost assessment of the infrastructure that may be needed for commissioning of a new groundwater supply well, this task could not be entirely completed until test wells are drilled and fully evaluated. All locations are very close to existing water mains, perhaps with the exception of the District of Sechelt lands north of the gravel pit (Site 2b) which would likely result in additional costs to tie-in.

Waterline developed a Class 3 cost estimate ( -20- to +30%) for drilling and testing of four exploration wells at the preferred site locations selected. The cost estimate was based on recent work completed by Waterline on similar projects. Cost tables provided in Appendix D shows the detailed estimate and assumptions. The total estimated cost for completing a four well exploration program is approximately $325,000.00, excluding taxes. This includes drilling and well installation of four test wells, supply and install pumping equipment and conducting a 48 hour pumping test in each well, water quality testing, and hydrogeological support during the field work, and delivery of a short technical report summarizing results and recommendations for each location.

4.0 CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS Following Waterline’s groundwater investigation of potential aquifer development targets within the SCRD, the following conclusions and recommendations have been reached:

Electoral Area E Area:

In Electoral Area E, Site 1c and 1d located along Mahan Road ranked the highest (most favorable) in our evaluation. However, Site 1d was selected as the preferred drilling location due to more favorable site access and its anticipated location near the center axis of the Gibsons Aquifer. The Frank West Firehall site (Site 1F) was determined to have low potential based on Waterline’s re- evaluation of geophysical and geological data collected as part of the Gibsons Aquifer Mapping Project (Waterline 2013). The bedrock in this area shallows significantly in the vicinity of the Firehall site, resulting in thinning of the Gibsons Aquifer and likely restricting flow due to this aquifer boundary. Waterline is recommending that a Stage 2 drilling and testing program be initiated at Mahan Road Site 1d.

Sechelt Area:

In the Sechelt area, Waterline has concluded that the preferred location for stage 2 drilling and testing is adjacent to the District of Sechelt Operations Yard on Dusty Road (Site 2B). Hydrogeology data reviewed and compiled by Waterline suggests that a thick aquifer may exist in this area.

Gray Creek Area:

A thick and relatively extensive glacio-fluvial fan has been mapped by Waterline deep beneath the Gray Creek Valley. Existing supply wells at the Sturgeon Aquaculture facility closer to the Sechelt Inlet suggest that this aquifer is highly productive. A Stage 2 test drilling program is recommended on Sechelt Inlet Road located close to the Gray Creek Bridge (Site 3). Some uncertainty exists with respect to possible hydraulic communication with Gray Creek which could require a detailed “Groundwater at Risk of Containing Pathogens” (GARP) assessment.

Soames/Granthams Area: Based on work completed by Associated Environment (2017) both the Soames and Granthams wells may be located in higher risk areas for contamination. The Granthams Well is located in the deeply incised Soames Creek Valley and could be at risk of

The Soames Well is located in a roadway which is vulnerable to vehicular traffic and related activities (runoff, spills, physical damage). The SCRD conducted tests in June 2017 to determine well productivity and both wells appear to be functioning efficiently. The Granthams Well is relatively shallow (15.8 m below ground) and the artesian flow from the well when the pump is turned off is reported to be 45 US gpm (Associated Environment, 2017). Recent measurements of artesian discharge by SCRD (2017) indicate that artesian overflow from the two pipes (pipe 1 and 2, Appendix C) under pumping conditions was approximately 46 US gpm and under non-pumping conditions was approximately 71 US gpm. Flowing artesian conditions confirms that the well and aquifer are under continuous artesian pressure with upward flow gradients and the well casing seal is intact. Based on the above information, the opportunity for water from Soames Creek to enter the well under present conditions, although possible, appears to be low. However, given the potential consequences the SCRD should implement a robust monitoring program to fully quantify the risk under varying conditions including appropriate storm flow return periods.

Waterline recommends that the SCRD consult with the local Health Authority to confirm requirements for both the Soames and Granthams wells. It may be possible to rehabilitate or retrofit one or more of these wells which could be less costly than drilling new wells. However, if a new well is being contemplated by the SCRD as recommended by Associated Environment (2017) then Site 4 located next to the Soames Point Reservoir is preferred. If a new well proves successful, then the existing wells could be abandoned, or used for backup or observation and groundwater monitoring subject to the outcome of the recommended inspection.

64 Chaster Well is located at 256 Knight road in Gibsons, BC

The well has a 4" pump column surrounded by 3 pump casings (8", 10" and 12")

The estimated year of drilling is 1975.

The well is currently only used in high water demand situations (summer flows) to aid the Chapman water system

Samples of the well water are sent to an independent lab annually and tested for nutrients, drinking water parame

While in use, regular samples are collected from the well and tested for total and fecal coliforms.

Page 109 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Class 3 Cost Estimate - Test Well Drilling and Installation (4 Well Program)

Waterline Resources Inc Attention: SCRD 2430 Jingle Pot Road Nanaimo, BC,

Item Description Units Unit $/unit Totals 1 Mobilize and de-mobilization lump sum 1 $10,000.00 $10,000.00 2 Install Sanitary Surface seal Bentonite to 18 ft. each 4 $700.00 $2,800.00 3 Drill and case 6" diameter feet 2000 $43.00 $86,000.00 4 Supply and weld 6" casing drive shoe each 4 $350.00 $1,400.00 5 Supply 6" telescopic, SS well screen 4' sections 8 $850.00 $6,800.00 Supply bottom, riser, k-pack 4 $275.00 $1,100.00 6 Drill open hole through rock feet $25.00 7 Supply 4" CSA potable PVC plastic liner (if req) feet $5.25 8 Standby for delays caused by others hours 10 $200.00 $2,000.00 Hourly for screen installation, development, 9 hours 44 $ 375.00 $16,500.00 airlifting, moving or other non-drilling work 10 Room and board (3 crew) man day 48 $200.00 $9,600.00 Prices do not include GST. TOTAL ESTIMATED COST $ 136,200.00 Quantities listed are Class 3 estimates -20% to +30%. Actual cost will be determined by quantities required, multiplied by the cost per unit as above. The following unknowns can significantly affect the cost of a drilling and completing a test well: • Well depth: Based on surrounding information well depths are all expected to be in the 150m (500 ft) range. Assuming this is correct and consistent ground conditions are present at all sites it is expected that drilling and completion would require 4 days per site to install; • Well diameter: Test well sizes are assumed to be 6” with short well screens (8 ft), as longer screens take more time to develop and are therefore more costly. Development time is estimated to be 1 hour per foot of well screen but longer development times are possible if an aggressive screen design (i.e., larger open area within screen) is selected. The screen design can only be determined once aquifer samples are collected and analyzed. • Pumping test: Aquifer testing of test wells is typically 48 hours pumping and 48 hours recovery, but may vary depending on aquifer properties and groundwater level response during pumping.

FROM: Planning Assistant FILE NO: 3220 —Wildwood — Lot G

SUBJECT: Development Variance Permit DVP-2017-08 for Lot G Wildwood Crescent

RECOMMENDATION(S)

THAT the staff report regarding DVP-2017-08 for Lot G Wildwood Crescent be received;

AND THAT Council direct staff to notify neighbouring properties of Lot G Wildwood Crescent for the requested variances under DVP-2017-05.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE

The property owner of Lot G Wildwood Crescent (figure 1) has applied for a Development Variance Permit to reduce the front setback in order to construct a single family home.

This report provides background information on the variance request.

Figure 1: Subject Lot Location

Page 115 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Council regarding DVP-2017-08 2

DISCUSSION

The property is currently vacant. The property owner would like to construct a single family home with an attached garage on the lot. The applicant has requested a variance to the front setback.

The property is situated on a slope, which has a steep grade change (60% slope) at the top of the lot. The applicant is proposing to build a 2 storey home, which is accessed from the Wildwood Crescent via a bridge to the 2 storey. This would enable the home to be built without dramatically changing the grade of the land.

In order to minimize the span of the bridge, the applicant has requested to reduce the required front setback to the main house from 7.5m to 5.52m. Figure 2 shows the proposed site plan. The majority of the house will be located within the 7.5 m front setback, apart from the front portion of the garage, outlined in red in figure 2.

Council Policy 3.9

Council Policy 3.9 provides a framework for Council to assess variance requests.

Staff have reviewed the proposal with the Council Policy's criteria as outlined below:

(1) The request is not within the jurisdiction of the Board of Variance; Under Section 901 (1) of the Local Government Act, an application to the Board of Variance is to vary or exempt an individual to relieve hardship. Staff suggests this is not entirely a case of hardship as this site is currently vacant and it may be possible to design within the setbacks.

(2) The same request has not been previously denied by the Board of Variance; The application has not been presented to the Board of variance

(3) The variance will not result in significant negative impacts on neighbouring properties; The proposed variance does not appear to have significant effects on neighbouring properties.

(4) There is a demonstrated need for the variance in order to permit reasonable use of the property The variance enables the property to be used, without the construction of a steep driveway, which if constructed would push the location of the house further down the hill, which may then impact the view of the neighbouring property at 555 Wildwood Crescent. The variance limits the length of the required bridge.

(5) The overall intent of the original bylaw requirement or standard is not compromised. The property is one of the last vacant sites on Wildwood Crescent, staff note that the steep nature of the lot may be a reason why.

A detached garage is able to be located 4.5m from the property line, however, if using a detached garage, steps would have been necessary to access the house from the garage. The attached garage enables ease of access, and maintains the possibility of creating a barrier free home in the future.

(6) The variance does not appear to establish a precedent for other properties, but responds to a site specific situation or difficulty; The applicant has worked with the challenges of the site, to create a proposal which will limit the excavation and fill on the site. If a driveway was constructed rather than a bridge, the gradient would be over 16%, which is the maximum recommended slope for a driveway under the Subdivision and Development Bylaw Number 1175. The proposal responds to the specific site situation.

(7) As per the (Municipal Act) Local Government Act provisions, does not result in a change in land use or an increase in permitted density; The requested variance will not change the land use or increase the permitted density of the property.

Page 118 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Council regarding DVP-2017-08 5

(8) The variance results in suitable development that is an asset and compatible in the context of surrounding uses; The proposal meets all other provisions under the Zoning Bylaw.

(9) In the case of variance of specific development standards for off-site servicing, that any additional costs that may be incurred by the municipality or future land owners are considered. This is not applicable to this variance request.

COMMUNICATION

As per the Town of Gibsons Development Application Procedures Bylaw Number 1166, letters will be mailed to all property owners and tenants of neighbouring properties within a fifty (50) metre radius of the subject property to explain the proposed variance and provide the date and time that Council will consider the application.

RECOMMENDATIONS / ALTERNATIVES

Recommendations are listed on page 1.

Alternatively, Council may deny the application or request that applicant to make changes before the notification process begins.

Respectfully Submitted,

TO: Council MEETING DATE: November 7, 2017

FROM: Ian C. Poole, CPA, CA FILE NO: 1760 —20 - 19 Director of Finance

SUBJECT: Municipal Security Issuing Resolution — LA Bylaw No. 1246, 2017

RECOMMENDATION(S)

THAT Council approve Long Term borrowing, in the amount of $1,784,000, from the Municipal Finance Authority of British Columbia, as part of their Spring, 2018 issue, as authorized through Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1246, 2017 Capital Improvement Financing Bylaw,

AND THAT the Sunshine Coast Regional District be requested to consent to our borrowing over a 20 year term and include the borrowing in their Security Issuing Bylaw.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE

Council adopted Loan Authorization Bylaw 1246, 2017 Capital Improvement Financing Bylaw ($1,784,000) on July 11, 2017 with the subsequent Certificate of Approval issued by the Ministry of Community, Sport and Cultural Development (MCSCD) on September 8, 2017. This bylaw acts as the legal authority for the Town to create long-term debt.

The Municipal Finance Authority of BC (MFA) is the financing agency all local governments use for the issuance of long-term debt. The MFA issues long-term debt two times per year with a Spring and Fall issue. The Town wishes to participate in the upcoming Spring issue which is scheduled to occur sometime in April, 2018. To do so, we need to request the Sunshine Coast Regional District (SCRD) to issue a Security Issuing Bylaw and this is initiated with Council passing a Municipal Security Issuing Resolution or MSIR.

DISCUSSION

Council adopted its 2017 5 year Financial Plan on May 4, 2017 (Financial Plan Bylaw No. 1241). Within this bylaw three capital projects namely:

1. Gibsons Way multi-use path, sidewalk and pavement rehabilitation - $1,434,000, 2. General Town wide pavement rehabilitation - $200,000, and

Page 121 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Council on Municipal Security Issuing Resolution — LA Bylaw No. 1246, 2017 2

3. Armours Beach improvements - $150,000 were planned to be financed by Long-Term Debt totalling $1,784,000.

Council has completed all the required steps to authorize the issuance of the debt with the exception of adopting a Municipal Security Issuing Resolution (MSIR). The MFA has required wording for an MSIR and this resolution sets in motion the borrowing process at the Sunshine Coast Regional District. The MFA requires the SCRD borrowing process to be completed by February 9, 2018. In order to give them ample time to complete their borrowing process in time it is timely for us to provide them with this MSIR resolution..

PLAN/POLICY IMPLICATIONS

Financial Plan Implications

According to the MFA's website they are anticipating that the interest rate on a 10 year bond will be in the range of 3.15%. Based on this rate and the issue being launched in April 2018, our first interest payment will be in October, 2018, at the estimated amount of $28,098 and a combined principal and interest payment of $94,490 in April, 2019.

Estimated repayments on this debt have been included in our 2017 Financial Plan Bylaw and the actual repayment amounts, once the debt has been issued and the rate finalized, will be reflected in our 2018 - 5 year Financial Plan bylaw.

RECOMMENDATIONS / ALTERNATIVES

As the final step in the Town securing of long-term borrowing is for Council to approve a Municipal Security Issuing Resolution (MSIR) which instructs the Sunshine Coast Regional District to begin their Security Issuing Bylaws. Staff recommends that Council endorse an MSIR for LA Bylaw 1246, 2017 Capital Improvement Financing Bylaw.

TO: Council MEETING DATE: November 7, 2017

FROM: Lorraine Coughlin FILE NO: 1760-20-06-2018 Deputy Treasurer

SUBJECT: 2018 Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw

RECOMMENDATION(S)

THAT the Deputy Treasurer's report regarding the 2018 Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw be received;

AND THAT Council give First Reading to 2018 Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw No. 1251, 2017.

BACKGROUND/PURPOSE

The purpose of this report is to introduce a Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw for Council consideration. This bylaw will provide the appropriate legal lending authority for the Town to borrow funds from our current banker the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) on a short-term basis (in the form of a line of credit) and to incur short- term operating credit via our corporate credit card.

DISCUSSION

Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaws, governed by Section 177 of the Community Charter, are a mechanism that provides a municipality with the authority for the borrowing of money that may be necessary to meet current obligations and/or to pay amounts required to meet the municipality's taxing obligations in relation to another local government or other public body. They are most often used by local governments to cover cash flow shortfalls needed to pay ongoing obligations prior to the local government collecting their major tax revenues in the months of June and July.

Our past experience has been that we have not needed to rely on a Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw to cover cash shortfalls because we have a semi-annual utility billing cycle for residential and commercial customers that provides cash flows in the months of April/May and October/November and also have business licenses renewals in December that provides an additional cash flow.

Page 135 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 Report to Council on the 2018 Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw 2

However, we do use the Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaw as the authority to incur short-term overdraft protection on our current chequing account and for a small line of credit on our corporate credit card. Under agreement with CIBC, we are provided with a $75,000 overdraft limit and a corporate credit card maximum balance of $25,000 which are adequate limits for our operational needs. We monitor our chequing account balance daily and from time to time experience short-term overdrafts (usually the result of maximizing our investment funds as opposed to maintaining a larger current account balance). These short-term overdrafts are generally covered within two banking days.

Revenue Anticipation Borrowing Bylaws are short-term in nature (annual expiry) and therefore the Community Charter does not require the traditional elector approval process (AAP) and subsequent approval by the Inspector of Municipalities. Because the debt is short term in nature (annual) it does not become debt that impacts our standard authorized borrowing debt limit calculation.

The monthly fee to maintain an overdraft limit of $100,000 ($75,000 chequing account coverage and a $25,000 credit card limit) is an annual fee of $250 and $25 per month.

PLAN/POLICY IMPLICATIONS

Financial Plan Implications

The cost of maintaining a line of credit is a daily interest charge for when it is used. As we monitor our account daily any interest charges are minimal. Interest paid from the usage of the line of credit is covered within the budgeted amounts in the original 2017 Financial Plan Bylaw.

RECOMMENDATIONS / ALTERNATIVES

Staff is recommending that Council give first reading to a Revenue Anticipation Bylaw for 2018 in the amount of $100,000.

TO: Council MEETING DATE: November 7, 2017

FROM: Ian C. Poole, CPA, CA FILE NO: 1760 — 20 - 20 Director of Finance

SUBJECT: Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 1247— 2017 Capital Improvement Projects

RECOMMENDATION

THAT Council receive the Director of Finance's report for Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 1247, 2017 — 2017 Capital Improvement Projects,

AND THAT Council give First, Second and Third readings to "Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 1247, 2017 — 2017 Capital Improvement Projects".

BACKGROUND

Council adopting the 2017 Financial Plan Bylaw No. 1241 on May 4, 2017 which gives operational and capital improvement expenditure authority for 2017. This plan includes, amongst other items, $1,784,000 of capital borrowing for general fund road and park improvements. Further, by way of Loan Authorization Bylaw No. 1246 (July 11th), long- term debt authority has been obtained.

DISCUSSION

There are five road projects scheduled to be funded with long-term debt, these being: • Armours Beach Improvements - $150,000 • Gibsons Way Multi-use & pavement (Bals-Seaview) $566,000 • Gibsons Way Pavement (Bals to North) - $340,000 • Gibsons Way Sidewalk (Bals to North) - $528,000 • General Pavement Rehabilitation - $200,000 o Total $1,784,000

Long-term debt authority has been obtained with the adoption of Loan Authorization Bylaw No.1246 and its companion Alternate Approval Process (AAP) on July 11, 2017. Actual project work began on the Gibsons Way project in August with planned completion in the Spring of 2018. Invoicing for these works has begun and will need to be supported with cash flow prior to the Long Term financing anticipated in April 2018.

The Municipal Finance Authority (MFA), allows local governments to access funds prior to the issuance of the Long Term debt by using a Temporary Borrowing Bylaw process. Since elector approval (AAP) has been previously obtained we only acquire an adopted Temporary Borrowing Bylaw to access funds in the short term, in essence bridging us to

Page 141 of 144 Council Meeting Agenda - 07 Nov 2017 REPORT TO COUNCIL DATE: NOVEMBER 7, 2017 SUBJECT: TEMPORARY BORROWING BYLAW NO. 1247 the time of Long Term borrowings. This bylaw, "Temporary Borrowing Bylaw No. 1247 — 2017 Capital Improvement Projects", will provide the necessary authority to access these funds.

Short term financing will be obtained through MFA which has flexible borrowing and repayment terms. The interest rate quoted on the MFA website for short term loans, a variable daily rate — interest only, is currently 1.80%. Once the short term temporary borrowing bylaw is adopted we are ready to apply to the MFA for funding — no further Ministry approvals are required.

Staff is requesting three readings of the bylaw at one meeting in order to have the bylaw approved by the end of November to coincide with the requirement for cash flow to pay the various contractor invoices.

COMMUNICATION

Staff deem this to be a regulatory matter and no formal communication, other than this report appearing on a public agenda, is required.

PLAN/POLICY IMPLICATIONS

Strategic Plan Implications

Financing the construction of these road and park improvement infrastructure projects aligns with Council's goal of Asset Management and ensuring resilience of our engineered infrastructure.

Financial Plan Implications

The estimated interest payments of this short-term borrowing is calculated at $2,975 per month and which has been budgeted for in our 2017 Financial Plan.

OPTIONS AND CONCLUSION

It is the recommendation of staff that Council proceed with three readings of a temporary borrowing bylaw so that Town will have access to funds to pay for the road and park works prior to obtaining long-term debt.in the Spring of 2018.
