Berth 5 revetment rehabilitation – DP World Fraser Surrey – Public comments invited
June 27, 2025 – As part of its Project and Environmental Review process, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority must determine whether the proposed Berth 5 revetment rehabilitation – DP World Fraser Surrey, located at 11060 Elevator Road, Surrey is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.
To help inform this determination and a decision on whether or not to approve the proposed project, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is inviting comments from the public respecting that determination. All comments received will be considered public and may be posted online. For more information, individuals should consult the Privacy Notice on the Registry website.

The proposed project
Berth 5 is an engineered shoreline bank revetment (riprap) which protects port infrastructure against hydraulic action (e.g., erosion resulting from waves and flooding) from the Fraser River. Recent inspections of the revetment found evidence of structural deterioration (e.g., loss of asphalt surface, loss of riprap rock, destabilized slope profile, and vegetation establishment). The damage warrants rehabilitation to maintain the facility in a safe and operational condition.
The riprap bank revetment at Berth 5 spans approximately 100 m of Fraser River shoreline on the left (southeast) bank of the southernmost channel. The existing bank revetment footprint covers an estimated area of 1,475 m2 over a shoreline length of approximately 100 m and includes both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
The Project works are intended to rehabilitate the full extent of the revetment.
