Existing Conditions Program

Key areas of study

The Existing Conditions Program builds off existing environmental study information for this area of the Fraser River. Between spring 2022 and fall 2023, we completed over 40 additional studies to learn more about the environment, fill in data gaps, and identify potential project effects.

These studies focused on Aquatic, Terrestrial, and Human Environments.
