Fraser Surrey Docks Welcomes BC Government Decision on Texada

April 22nd, 2014

Fraser Surrey Docks (FSD) welcomes the decision by the B.C. Ministry of Energy and Mines that will allow for the transhipment of additional coal by Texada Quarrying.

Under a proposal being reviewed by Port Metro Vancouver, Texada Quarrying would receive coal by barge from FSD for loading on to deep sea vessels for export to Asian markets.

“Lafarge is a good partner with a solid track record which has been operating safely and responsibly and in full compliance with environmental regulations for more than 60 years,” said Jeff Scott, President and CEO of Fraser Surrey Docks.
At the request of Port Metro Vancouver, FSD and its independent experts continue their work to better understand any potential human health impacts of the proposed Direct Coal Transfer Facility.

FSD and its partners have already incorporated further dust control enhancements to the project including the elimination of a coal stockpile, a second re-spray facility to re-apply a “topping agent” to loaded rail cars and a commitment to apply similar binding agents to loaded barges.

“We are confident our proposed facility will handle coal with no significant impacts on the community or the environment, and our goal is to reassure the regulator and our neighbours that this project will be undertaken in the safest most responsible way possible,” said Scott.
