Technical review of Roberts Bank Terminal 2 environmental impact statement and marine shipping supplemental report : effects on marine mammals.: Fs70-7/2017-001E-PDF

"Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) (the Proponent: previously referred to as Port Metro Vancouver) is proposing to construct and operate the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project (the Project), a new three-berth marine container terminal at Roberts Bank in Delta, British Columbia. As a federal authority in the environmental assessment for the Project, Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) will be asked to present information to the Review Panel and at public hearings in relation to its expertise on the effects of the Project on fish and fish habitat including marine mammals and aquatic species at risk, and the adequacy of mitigation and offsetting measures and monitoring/follow-up programs proposed by the Proponent. DFO’s Pacific Region Fisheries Protection Program (FPP) has requested DFO Science Branch provide an evaluation of the Proponent’s characterization of effects of project construction and operation, and Project-related increase in marine vessel traffic on marine mammals and marine mammal habitat. The assessment and advice arising from this Canadian Science Advisory Secretariat (CSAS) Science Response (SR) will be used to assist in the development of DFO’s submission to the Review Panel during its review of the Roberts Bank Terminal 2 Project"--Context, p. 1-2.
