The Coquitlam River project is complicated by
the necessity to include both dyking and dam
operations. Initially, a study must be done
to determine the appropriate form of flood
protection for all sections of the system.
The actual design and construction of the
system will commence upon the completion of
the study.

The current Provincial-Federal Agreement
became effective October 10, 1985 and is
scheduled to terminate March 31, 1995. The
Coquitlam River project has been deemed viable
and has consequently been included as one of
the 11 projects to be undertaken through this
Agreement. A suggested time frame is:
commission the Initial Study of Operational
Requirements in the near future; contract out
the working drawings: and plans- 1 to 2 years;
commence construction- 3 to 4 years. This is
a rough estimate and is subject to change.

AS per your direction, Alderman Laking will. address
any further queries to Mac Clark of your Vancouver

Branch.

I trust that I have accuratly summarized our
meeting. Please contact me should you feel there

are any discrepancies.

I appreciate your attention to this matter and would
like to thank you for your time and co-operation.

Sincerely,
