This CEMP has been prepared to provide guidance on best management practices (BMPs) and regulatory compliance to avoid and limit potential project-related adverse environmental effects associated with the proposed construction of the Vancouver Shipyard Outfitting Pier Extension Project. The objectives of the Seaspan Outfitting Pier Extension CEMP are: • Protect valued ecological features within and adjacent to the Project site within the Seaspan basin during construction • Comply with: − Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) and Project Environmental Review (PER) permit conditions, and − Approvals and legislative requirements and regulations associated with Project construction • Mitigate risk to Seaspan’s environmental permits as a result of construction activities The CEMP will be reviewed and updated as required to address revisions to the Project and conditions throughout design and construction. General requirements, environmental mitigation measures and controls are included in the body of text within the CEMP. Additionally, operations environmental effects are considered and mitigated by the policies of the Seaspan’s Environmental Management System (EMS). 1.1 SEASPAN OUTFITTING PIER LOCATION The Seaspan Outfitting Pier (the pier) is located at 10 Pemberton Avenue in the District of North Vancouver (DNV), British Columbia (BC) (Figure 1) within VFPA managed federal waters that are operated under the tenancy of Seaspan (coordinates 49.3135028, -123.1055362). The upland areas are private Seaspan lands outside of federal jurisdiction within the DNV. The pier is located entirely within the Seaspan site with areas to
