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. Furthermore, the environmental impacts of the Terminal 2 proposal which cannot be minimized or mitigated must be weighed against the claimed or potential economic benefits. Given the importance and fragility of the whole area that will be affected these benefits would have to be extremely significant to justify the risks entailed in this development. Therefore it is essential that the assumptions, expectations and forecasts of the proposal be subjected to the most comprehensive and objective examination by experts and critics. Residents of Delta are well aware that the Terminal 2 proposal is part of an extensive package of developments connected like dominoes across the region. Anticipated expanded capacity at the port was a major part of the justification for the South Fraser Perimeter Road. Plans for a huge development of logistics and storage centres on protected farmland were revealed when secret options to purchase were exposed. A potential commercial real estate bonanza all along the SFPR has been trumpeted by the industry; the list goes on and on. Any attempt to obscure or minimize the connectedness and cumulative impact of the totality of prospective industrial development south of the Fraser will be met with the scepticism and opposition it deserves. I therefore urge you to uphold your responsibilities to the citizens of BC and provide the greatest possible scope and opportunity for the review and determination of the full implications of the Terminal 2 project. Sincerely, <contact information and signatures removed> <contact information and signatures removed> <contact information and signatures removed> <contact information and signatures removed> From: To: Roberts Bank [CEAA] Subject: Panel Review for Terminal 2 Date: November 30, 2013 3:35:12 PM Please, please, please do a full Panel Review for this project. We live on Tsawwassen Beach and see the devastation daily this port has caused : - we now have piles of dead seaweed wash in at high tide, this never happened before the ocean floor was gutted for terminal 1. - we used to have crystal clear water lapping up on the beach it is now seldom that it even looks clean. - where do the tiny salmon hide without a healthy bay for shelter? - we always fished in front of the coal port but since terminal 1 the fish do not swim there. - when out fishing we often saw killer whales but since terminal 1 it is very seldom we see any - we often find dead jelly fish and dead starfish on the beach this too was not so before terminal 1. -on a quiet night at low tide Awe can hear the low drone of the tankers tied up for days with third world motors running. - we cannot see the air pollution and can only imagine what this air is doing to our lungs. Terminal 2 will in all probability increase all of these at least 2 fold. Why on earth would you accept the PAM assessment as fact? Do a proper independent assessment; that is what you exist for - Care for this beautiful planet. Sincerely, Dr Moe and Elinor Attalla .

Box 307 Merville, B.C. V0R 2M0 Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 410-701 West Georgia Street Vancouver, BC V7Y 1C6 Ladies and Gentlemen: On behalf of our Society’s directors and members, we are writing to urge you in the strongest of terms to implement an Independent Panel Review for the Environmental Assessment of Terminal 2 at Roberts Bank in Delta, B.C. This proposal is located in the estuary of the Fraser River, one of the most important estuaries in the world for migratory birds. As you are aware, there is no significant bird sanctuary in the area, and widespread development of farmland in the estuary is encroaching on remaining habitat for five million birds and other global wildlife populations. Great Blue Herons are particularly at risk in the estuary now, as their numbers are dropping, probably due in large part to habitat loss. It is Canada’s international disgrace, and an abrogation of our global responsibility, that we have not put into place permanent protection for the Fraser River delta habitat, as outlined below: UN RAMSAR designation as internationally critical wetland UNPROTECTED Named Western Hemispheric Shorebird Reserve UNPROTECTED Named Most Important Migratory Bird Site in Canada <contact information and signatures removed> 2 (Bird Life International) UNPROTECTED Contains the three most significant Important Bird Areas (IBAs) in Canada (out of 597 sites) UNPROTECTED Only habitat in Canada for 5 million migratory birds from over twenty countries UNPROTECTED Only habitat in Canada for world population of Western Sandpipers UNPROTECTED Canada’s most important wintering habitat for water birds UNPROTECTED Canada’s most important wintering habitat for shorebirds UNPROTECTED Canada’s most important wintering habitat for birds of prey UNPROTECTED Habitat for last Canadian breeding population of barn owls UNPROTECTED Habitat for 310 bird species (46% of Canadian land bird species) UNPROTECTED Home of the world’s greatest salmon run UNPROTECTED Largest eelgrass beds on Canada’s west coast (critical for fish, crustaceans and birds) UNPROTECTED Habitat for over 90 species of fish in key life stages (Marshes and intertidal spawning and nursery areas) UNPROTECTED Feeding ground of Canada’s Endangered Orca (south coast population) UNPROTECTED Feeding ground of Threatened transient west coast Orca population UNPROTECTED Home of endangered Fraser White Sturgeon (living up to 170 years and reaching half a ton) UNPROTECTED This estuary continues to be unprotected and obviously still considered ‘open for business’, despite a host of regulations and conventions that the federal government purports to offer protection for our wildlife and ocean creatures: • Canadians Fisheries Act • Canadian Migratory Birds Convention Act of 1994 • Canadian Environmental Assessment Act • Canadian Species at Risk Act <contact information and signatures removed> 3 • Canadian Department of the Environment Act • Convention on Biological Diversity • Federal Policy on Wetland Conservation • North American Waterfowl Management Plan • GVRD Livable Strategic Plan and Green Zone • Georgia Basin Ecosystem Initiative • Georgia Basin Action Plan • The Ramsar Convention • National Recovery Strategy for Southern Resident Orcas. Since this internationally important Fraser River estuary is largely unprotected, it is absolutely imperative that we have an INDEPENDENT REVIEW PANEL consider this project. That the federal government is even considering this project when the habitat and creatures of the estuary are without permanent and meaningful protection, is in itself an indicator of its inability to properly monitor the consideration of such a project. Thank you for your attention to our Society’s concerns for B.C.’s Great Blue Herons, and of course, all the other wild creatures of B.C.’s air, land and water. Sincerely yours, B.C. GREAT BLUE HERON SOCIETY Gillian Anderson Chair <contact information and signatures removed> SUBMISSION TO CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AGENCY ON ROBERTS BANK TERMINAL 2 PROJECT December 6, 2013 Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project Canadian Environmental Assessment Agency 410 - 701 W. Georgia St. Vancouver, BC V7Y 1C6 [email protected] Comments on the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) Guidelines for the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project BC Nature (Federation of BC Naturalists) is the provincial voice for naturalists, representing 53 member clubs in British Columbia. Our motto is “know nature and keep it worth knowing”. In this submission, we outline our concerns regarding environmental impacts at the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 site and ancillary developments, and also our concerns along the marine shipping route between the terminal and the open ocean. DEFICIENCIES The draft EIS guidelines for the Roberts Bank site are deficient in a number of respects. These include the need for a larger study area and for a Joint Review Panel assessment to be undertaken. The scope of the draft EIS Guidelines does not cover the marine shipping route. We consider this to be a serious oversight that needs correction. The increased large ship traffic attributable to the project will significantly increase current environmental concerns along the route.
