Project: Shipping Gallery Replacement Location: 1155 Stewart StreetVancouver, BC

VFPA Site/Area No.: VANO68

Proponent(s): Alliance Grain Terminal

Proiect Description

In this Schedule, “Project” means the physical activities authorized by VFPA to be carried out pursuant to ReviewNumber 13-125, as described below.

• Alliance Grain Terminal Limited-(AGT) proposes to replace the existing conveyor gallery and loading spouts with anew conveyor gallery and high capacity loading spouts at the Alliance Grain Terminal on Stewart Street, on theSouth Shore of Vancouver, BC.

• The existing shipping gallery was constructed in the early 1950s and is nearing the end of its service life.

• The new shipping gallery will increase capacity from 2.3 million metric tonnes (MT) per year to 2.6-2.8 million MTper year and the average load rate is expected to go from 675 MT/hour to 1500 MT/hour.

• The new gallery will be approximately 18.5 metres higher than the existing gallery and will extend approximately 37metres further north than the existing gallery, but will be within the footprint of the existing pier.

• There will be 4 loading towers located along the length of the wharf, and each will be equipped with 2 loadingspouts. At each loading tower, product will be transferred via enclosed chute to one of the spouts,.or it will bediverted to continue to the next loading tower via an enclosed conveyor.

• The construction of the new gallery will require approximately 60 piles to be installed (possibly less). The proposedpiles are 914mm outer diameter (OD) pipe piles. Of the 60 piles, 4 are to be located in the upland.

• Due to the shallow bedrock conditions at the site, rock socketed piles drilled into the bedrock will be required.

• The methodology for pile installation is to first cut holes in the existing decking. The pile, equipped with a drivingshoe, will be installed in these holes and ether vibrated or rotated down to bedrock. The rotator will then twist thepile into the bedrock to form a seal from the surrounding overburden. These methods will not createoverpressures harmful to fish. Once the pile is seated, a Down Hole Hammer Drill will be used to clean out the pileand drill out the socket. All drill cuttings will be collected and disposed of at an upland location.

• Once the pipe pile is in place, concrete will be injected into the pile by tremie. As the concrete is pumped into thepile, water with high pH will be displaced. This water will be pumped into a holding tank. The water will be treatedwith carbon dioxide to lower the pH. An environmental monitor will test the water for ph, Total Suspended Solids,and carbon dioxide before discharging it back into Burrard Inlet. Water will not be discharged until water qualityindicates that it is acceptable for release. Note that the AGT application proposes to discharge water containingT5S concentrations up to 600 mg/L. This concentration is significantly above the allowable dischargeconcentration and AGT should refer to Environmental Condition #15, below, for the allowable TSS discharge limitsto apply to this project.

• The potential for loss of concrete to the marine environment will be minimized through the use of tarps to catchpotential pumper hose spillage between the pile and the wharf deck. Expelled concrete from the top of the pile sillbe collected using a collection chute attached around the pile that will direct discharged concrete to a container ona float located adjacent to the pile, or in a container on the wharf deck. Discharged concrete will be disposed ofupland.

• Equipment will be cleaned upland and run-off allowed to drain into the surrounding gravel surface. Equipment will

be cleaned no closer than 10 metres from the shoreline and shallow gravel berms will be provided to containconcrete and cleaning water. It is recommended that these activities are conducted a minimum of 15 metres fromthe shoreline.

• An environmental monitor will be on site during the tremie works.

• The BC Marine and Pile Driving Contractors Association policy entitled “Best Management Practices for Pile Drivingand Related Operations” will be followed.

• The piling works are anticipated to take 4 months to complete.

• Construction works for this project will be supported through the use of spud barges and flat-deck material barges.

• Demolition of the existing gallery and the construction of the new gallery will be done in several phases. The workwill be assisted by a barge-mounted crane.

• All salvageable material will be reclaimed and recycled.

• Construction is anticipated to require approximately 24 months from contract issuance to commissioning.
