HMCS Chaudiere monitoring survey results / David L.S. Ellis, P. Eng.: En40-241/93-01E-PDF

"On December 5, 1992 the HMCS CHAUDIERE, a decommissioned destroyer escort, was sunk in Sechelt Inlet by the Artificial Reef Society of British Columbia to create a diving attraction and artificial reef. The sinking was carried out following the issuance of an Ocean Dumping under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, Part VI. As there were a number of environmental concerns raised during the review of the permit application, a commitment was made to carry out a post-sinking monitoring program. This report summarizes the findings of the monitoring program. The program focuses on examination of water samples collected in Sechelt Inlet in the vicinity of the HMCS CHAUDIERE and observations of the biological colonization of the ship. The water samples were analysed oil and grease, trace metals and fibres. Fibre analyses were included because of the possible effect asbestos-containing materials, remaining in the vessel, may have if they are released into the marine environment"--Introduction.
