Amrize Pitt River Quarry Maintenance Dredging

Notice of Determination

Pitt Meadows, B.C. – July 17, 2026 – The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has determined that the proposed Amrize Pitt River Quarry Maintenance Dredging located at 16101 Rannie Road, Pitt Meadows is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• Impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples
• Indigenous knowledge
• Community knowledge
• Comments received from the public
• Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures

Mitigation measures and/or permit conditions taken into account in making the determination include:

• The physical activities will be conducted to avoid increasing sedimentation of foreshore and nearshore areas and induced turbidity of local waters.
• The barge and other support vessels will be prevented from grounding on the foreshore, seabed or otherwise disturb the foreshore or seabed.
• A marine construction and staging plan will be developed for the project
• A spill prevention, containment and clean-up plan will be developed for the project, be available in the immediate working area, and project personnel will be trained on spill prevention, containment and clean-up
• Dredge material intended for disposal at sea will require a valid Disposal at Sea Permit
• In-water works will be conducted during the least risk timing window for fish and fish habitat

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects. Therefore, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
