Shoreline Repair at Fraser River Port Berth 5
Official title: Berth 5 revetment rehabilitation - DP World Fraser Surrey
DP World wants to fix a deteriorating rock wall that protects their port facility on the Fraser River. The 100-metre shoreline structure has lost rocks and asphalt, and the slope is becoming unstable. This is routine maintenance to keep the berth safe and operational.
Why This Matters
This is a routine port maintenance project with limited public impact. If you live near the Fraser Surrey port or care about Fraser River shoreline health, the work could temporarily affect the riverbank. The project touches both aquatic and land environments.
What Could Change
If approved, DP World can proceed with replacing rocks and repairing the protective slope along 100 metres of shoreline. Construction would occur in the river environment, potentially with conditions to protect fish habitat during work.
Key Issues
- Will the rehabilitation work adequately protect aquatic habitat in the Fraser River?
- What construction methods will minimize environmental disturbance?
