Sanitary/Other Contamination Closures
Subject:
FN1003-SANITARY - Emergency Sanitary Closure in portions of Subarea 14-1, 14-2, 14-3 and 14-4, has been revoked
As a follow up to Emergency Closure 14.yy, invoked on Sunday, August 20, 2017, at the French Creek Pollution Control Center, Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) has received confirmation the work has been completed on the contact splitter box and the temporary bypass of partially treated effluent ceased on September 5, 2017. This area has remained closed greater than the 21- day minimum closure period required after the cessation of the temporary bypass of partially treated sewage, and is no longer necessary. As per Appendix VIII of the Canadian Shellfish Sanitation Program Manual of Operations, ECCC recommends that Emergency Closure 14.yy be revoked and that the classification around the outfall terminus return to the standard 300m Prohibited area around industrial and sanitary sewage outfalls. Therefore, emergency closure 14.yy for bivalve shellfish, as described below, is now revoked Emergency Closure Area 14.yy - French Creek - The waters and intertidal foreshore of Georgia Strait near French Creek inside a line drawn from a point on land at 49°21.26' north latitude and 124°22.97' west longitude, thence northeasterly to a point in water at 49°22.54' north latitude and 124°22.29' west longitude, thence southeasterly to a point in water at 49°22.24' north latitude and 124°20.71' west longitude, thence southerly to a point on land at 49°20.49' north latitude and 124°20.68' west longitude, thence northwesterly following the shoreline of French Creek and Columbia Beach to the point of commencement.
