Stanley Lonsdale Park Quay Phase 1 - Project Definition
The Project Definition phase defined the scope and budget for the project and outlined a preliminary (indicative) design for the new plant using input from multiple stakeholders including: • North Shore residents and businesses • Municipal governments • Lions Gate Public Advisory Committee
A Vision for the New Plant
The design of the new plant will achieve four main goals:
Secondary wastewater treatment Meet federal regulations, and the provincially-approved Integrated Liquid Waste and Resource Management Plan, to achieve secondary wastewater treatment by 2020.
Environmental, social and economic sustainability Be energy efficient by using the heating and cooling potential of treated wastewater, installing high-efficiency equipment, and using biogas. Also, maximizing water conservation and water reclamation in the treatment plant, as well as through rainwater harvesting.
Integrated resource recovery Recover resources generated from the wastewater treatment process, including energy, water and nutrients. For example, utilize the biogas generated from the digestion process to generate electricity and heat to offset reliance on external energy providers.
Community integration Integrate the new plant, both physically and spatially, into the local community. Develop indoor and outdoor spaces to support education and outreach.

Metro Vancouver is working with the community and stakeholders. Key areas to be addressed in the design of the new plant include:
Odour control The new plant will feature odour control technologies and air emissions including at-source containment, secondary containment, and treatment procedures for all air released from the plant.
Fiscal Metro Vancouver will ensure the best value for taxpayer responsibility money and will pursue activities, such as integrated resource recovery, where feasible.
Creating a The new plant will have a clean and well-designed community asset appearance and will provide interpretive features, and outdoor and indoor spaces for education programs, outreach and meetings.
Traffic and Metro Vancouver will continue to work with the community construction throughout the project to identify and mitigate dust, noise, impacts traffic and other impacts of construction and operation. Phase 2 - Design and Construction
The project is now in Phase 2 and Metro Vancouver is: • Meeting regularly with the Lions Gate Public Advisory Committee • Exploring educational opportunities at the plant • Choosing a contractor to design, build, and handle the short-term operation of the new plant • Seeking funding commitments from federal and provincial governments • Working with the community to mitigate the construction and traffic impacts of building the new plant
Rendering by Miller Hull Partnership. Construction and Traffic Planning
Metro Vancouver will continue to discuss ways to minimize the impact of construction including plans for: • Parking • Traffic flow • Cyclist and pedestrian access • Noise levels • Other aspects of community comfort
Visit the scrawl wall to tell us: What do we need to know about traffic in your community? Education
Metro Vancouver is collaborating with educators and other stakeholders to develop resources and programs that help people learn about the wastewater treatment process. Education programs will: • focus on wastewater treatment and related sustainability topics • provide learning opportunities for children K-12 • connect adults with the concept of wastewater treatment
Visit the scrawl wall to tell us: What do you want to know about the wastewater treatment process?
Displays at the LOTT (Lacey, Olympia, Tumwater, Thurston County) Wastewater Treatment Plant’s WET (Water, Education and Technology) Science Centre are an example of what is possible for public education. Thank you for coming
Next steps include: • Working with the Lions Gate Public Advisory Committee • Collaborating with educators and stakeholders to develop an education programming strategy
