Bank Stabilization Wall at CIPA Lumber - Fraser River, Delta
Official title: Combi-wall installation - CIPA Lumber
A lumber company wants to fix a failing riverbank wall at their Delta facility. The project involves driving steel piles into the riverbed and filling the gap between old and new walls. Work would happen from a barge, with some nighttime welding during low tides.
Why This Matters
Live near the Fraser River in Delta? This construction could mean noise from pile driving during the day and welding at night. The work affects the riverbank near Carlisle Road.
What Could Change
If approved, the port authority would permit industrial construction in the Fraser River. A new steel wall would extend into the waterway to protect the lumber facility's foundation.
Key Issues
- Should pile driving and construction be permitted in the Fraser River at this location?
- Are nighttime welding operations acceptable during low tides?
