PART C - DIGBY ISLAND SITE OPTION Project Description PART C - DIGBY ISLAND SITE OPTION Section 9: Digby Island June 2014 PART C - DIGBY ISLAND SITE OPTION Project Description PART C - DIGBY ISLAND SITE OPTION Section 9: Digby Island June 2014 9 DIGBY ISLAND 9.1 Site Location Digby Island is on the northwest coast of BC, approximately 700 km north of Vancouver. The potential Project site is located on the southeast corner of Digby Island, approximately 3 km southwest of Prince Rupert, and 50 km south southeast of the US border (Figure 9-1). Digby Island is situated within the Skeena-Queen Charlotte Regional District (SQCRD) and the North Coast Forest District. The LNG facility will be located on approximately 200-400 ha of provincial Crown land. Coordinates for the approximate centre of the site are: • Latitude/Longitude - 54°16’5”N/130°22’58”W • Universal Transverse Mercator – Zone 9 East 409945.6 North 6014228.5 The marine terminal will be located at the south end of Digby Island. 9.2 Land Ownership and Zoning Digby Island is a small island with two small communities of Dodge Cove and Crippen Cove. These communities are located on small lots of private lands on the east side of the island approximately 2 km and 6 km from the Project site, respectively. The northeastern portion of the island is a First Nations Reserve belonging to the Metlakatla (S 1/2 Tsimpsean 2), which is located about 5 km from the Project site (Figure 9-2). Other nearby First Nations reserves include Wilnaskancaud 3, Shoowahtlans 4, Tugwell Island 21, which are located approximately 10 km from the proposed site. The nearest identified permanent, temporary or seasonal residence is located approximately 0.4 km north to the proposed project site. The northwestern portion of Digby Island contains the Prince Rupert Airport, which is on lands owned by the City of Prince Rupert through the incorporation of the Prince Rupert Airport Authority. An Order-in- Council reserve extends east to west, connecting the airport to east edge of the island. There is a CBC repeater station on CBC Hill near Dodge Cove, and several submerged BC hydrolines near Dodge Cove that connect Digby Island to Kaien Island. A notation of interest exists immediately west of Dodge Cove that extends linearly northwards. The remainder of the island is designated as a map reserve. The proposed Project site is situated within this map reserve. A description of the lands proposed for the LNG facility site and marine terminal is provided in Table 9-1 and Figure 9-3. The PRPA zoning does not extend to Digby Island. Discussion with the PRPA indicates that there are no registered water lots within the project area. There are no Crown tenures or permits in the proximity to the Digby Island site. The only federal Crown lands within the proximity of the site are marine areas administered by the PRPA. The Kitson Island Marine Park and Diana Lake Park are located approximately 10 km and 14 km from the proposed site, respectively. The Woodwork Lake Conservancy is about 11 km to the northeast of the site. 78 130°0'0"W 380000 390000 400000 410000 420000 430000 440000 450000 460000 6080000 6080000 103J15 103J16 103I13 6070000 6070000 USA CANADA D i x o n 6060000 E n 6060000 t r a n c e 103J10 KHUTZEYMATEEN PARK 103J09 103I12 6050000 6050000 Dundas Lax Kw'alaams Island W o rk Chatham Sound LAX KWAXL/DUNDAS & C MELVILLE ISLANDS h a CONSERVANCY n n e 6040000 l 6040000 6030000 Melville 6030000 Island WOODWORTH LAKE 103J08 CONSERVANCY 103J07 103I05 B Metlakatla row Prince n Pa Village ssage Rupert PRUDHOMME LAKE PARK 6020000 6020000 LUCY ISLANDS GAMBLE CREEK CONSERVANCY ECOL.

  • 5 Existing Environment
    Pacific NorthWest LNG Environmental Impact Statement and Environmental Assessment Certificate Application Section 5: Existing Environment 5 EXISTING ENVIRONMENT The proposed Project will be primarily located on and around Lelu Island, which is on federal lands and waters under the jurisdiction of the Prince Rupert Port Authority (PRPA) and within the municipal boundaries of the District of Port Edward. Lelu Island is a small island (219 hectares) approximately 2.5 km southwest of the business centre of Port Edward and 12 km south of the business centre for the City of Prince Rupert (Figure 1-2). It has been identified as having long-term potential for a bulk terminal, shipyard and other marine activity in the Prince Rupert Port Authority’s (PRPA) 2020 Land Use Management Plan (PRPA 2010). The District of Port Edward’s 2013 official community plan reports that the island currently is only accessible by water and has the potential to connect to Port Edward by bridge crossing for road access off of Skeena Drive (DOPE 2013). 5.1 Atmospheric Environment and Climate 5.1.1 Climate The Prince Rupert area is within a thin coastal strip west of the windward slopes of the Coast Mountains. Weather conditions in the area are recorded at the Environment Canada weather station at the Prince Rupert Airport, 7 km west of Prince Rupert; and the Holland Rock weather station, 5 km northwest of Lelu Island. Generally, westerly winds carry moist, warm Pacific air streams up and over the Coast Mountains, depositing large amounts of precipitation (mainly as rain) over the Prince Rupert region.

CIRCULAR NO.85 FEBRUARY 1968 INTRODUCTION The Fisheries Research Board of Canada, with the aid of funds provided by the Industrial Development Service of the Department of Fisheries, con- f . tinued to carry out exploration for new shrimp grounds in 1967. Two observers ^ from the Biological Station at Nanaimo, British Columbia, were aboard a ^ . chartered vessel from July 4 to September 9, 1967. The objective of the survey was to find concentrations of shrimp on the outer continental shelf of British Columbia. The programme, consisted of studying areas considered to have commercial potential and re-assessing the potential of grounds found in past shrimp explorations.

The vessel is a conventional wooden-hulled combination vessel of 80 gross tons (63 ft keel length) powered by a 220 hp diesel engine. Deck equipment included a hydraulic powered combination seine-trawl winch and a hydraulic net reel, conven tionally rigged for double gear trawling* Each winch drum carried approximately 400 fathoms of 9/16" galvanized wire.
