         project and environmental review and permitting process with the Vancouver Fraser Port
         Authority. Peter Kiewit Sons ULC has been selected as our design-build construction

    2    contractor for the project. They have extensive experience and success building large scale                                                                                                                                             3
         projects in British Columbia, including the Port Mann Bridge and the Sea to Sky Highway.


         From March to present, our construction activities have included the demolition of old
         buildings/structures, site clean-up, relocating underground utilities, digging foundations,
         and dock panel removal (involving no in water works). We will manage dust on site using

         water trucks and expect minimal traffic impacts in the non-industrial area during this time.


         We will conduct most construction activities from Monday to Saturday between 7:00

         am and 8:00 pm. If we need to conduct construction outside these hours we will require
         authorization from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority and we will notify you by email
         ahead of any extended work hours.





         What’s coming up - June to August


         Industrial traffic requiring access to Lynnterm West Gate will be rerouted to a temporary

         detour starting in June this year. The temporary detour will be on the east side of Lynn
         Creek accessed via Mountain Highway, Dominion road and Harbour avenue, then
         along a temporary road built over the rail line and bridge to the G3 and Vancouver
         Pile Driving sites. We will monitor traffic and adjust to minimize traffic disruptions to
         local businesses located in the industrial area. There will be a small and temporary
         realignment of access to the Harbourview Dog Park and while we have made

         considerable efforts to ensure a safe and timely route be maintained to the parking lot,
         we suggest that dog owners may wish to access the park via the trail via access points
         to the north. We apologize for the inconvenience and will be working quickly to install
         the new roadway safely, and with as little impact as possible.

         Later this summer, we plan to begin marine and land pile work including pile driving
         90 metres (300 ft.) south of the existing berth face to support up to three ship-loading
         cranes. Noise levels generated on site will remain below the construction noise limits of                                               Reducing
