Dear Adrian;

‘Re: Mundoipality of Port Coquitian = Coast Muriddan Read Barge Ramp
Resonetruction ~ BOL Envirowest Cengultants Limited Preposal

I refer to the above PREMP application and the latter May 10th vonpensation
proposal preparad by Rnvirewast. Roosnt disaussionsa with Pat Weber of Fraser
Port and Mark Adama of Bnvirowest have promoted further in-house revisw of the
project by our Department. _

" for

In beie£, the compensation report proposes # habitat damage “allowance
raconstruction of the ramp, Restoration maasuras would be undertaken in
recompense, dommtrosm baaida the Citadel Landing condominium projuot. 7 can

appreciate and understand tha prectioality of the Consultants intent, but the

approach poses pesodible legal impliicationa:.

Therefore, I recommend the Muniolpality and Enviroweet investigate &
reconstruetion technique that in oonjunetion with coordination of a project
biological monitor, demonstrstesa tha undarteking can be completed without
affacting of altering the exiating gite footprint. 2£ the foregoing cannot be
sccomplished without further habitae aldenation or unavoidable Gamage, then

the issue ef compensation will be further considered by my stagf and discussed
with all parties concernad.

If any immediate vlarificoations are nosded, piosoe pall wa or Beb MceIndoe of
my staff at 666~2409/3191; reepectively.
