Truck Parking Facility Site Prep at Former Gypsum Plant - Surrey Industrial Road

Official title: Site preparation for truck parking and storage - 12509 Industrial Road

Closed Regulations & Permits Environment & Climate Transportation
A company wants to prepare a former industrial site in Surrey for truck and container storage. The site housed a gypsum board plant from 1926 to 2010. Work includes removing old foundations, clearing vegetation, and paving about 7,000 cubic metres of gravel. Construction would take about 6 months.

Why This Matters

Live or work near Industrial Road in Surrey? This project could mean more truck traffic in your area. The site prep involves removing vegetation and old foundations from a century-old industrial site, which could affect local dust and noise levels during the 6-month construction period.

What Could Change

If approved, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority would permit Tyam to convert this former industrial site into a truck parking and storage facility. Temporary stormwater ponds would be installed during construction. The site would then be used for truck, trailer, equipment, and container storage.

Key Issues

  • Should the site preparation work be approved for this former industrial location?
  • Are the proposed stormwater management measures adequate?
  • What are the impacts of converting this site to truck parking and storage?
