Notice of Determination

Port Moody, B.C. – August 31, 2023 – The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority has determined that the proposed Marine gas oil piping modification located at Imperial Oil's Ioco terminal, at 2225 Ioco Road, Port Moody BC, is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

This determination was based on a consideration of the following factors:

• Impacts on rights of Indigenous peoples
• Indigenous knowledge
• Community knowledge
• Comments received from the public
• Technically and economically feasible mitigation measures

Mitigation measures taken into account for this determination are:

• The works will not deposit a deleterious substance in water inhabited by fish, or affect fish or fish habitat in a manner contrary to the Fisheries Act
• A spill prevention, containment and clean-up plan will be developed for the project, be available in the immediate working area, and project personnel will be trained on spill prevention, containment, and clean-up
• The barge and other support vessels will be prevented from grounding on the foreshore, seabed or otherwise disturbing the foreshore or seabed
• All debris and waste materials will be collected in the immediate working area and disposed of at an appropriately licensed facility

The Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is satisfied that the carrying out of the project is not likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects.

Therefore, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority may carry out the project, exercise any power, perform any duty or function, or provide financial assistance to enable the project to be carried out in whole or in part.
