| Sustainability | Sustainability | <div class="ExternalClass5465A596CA4A48D4A27FD726EB9F7E9C"><p>The new treatment plant will be constructed to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold and ENVISION Gold certification standards. The plant will harvest and reuse rainwater outside the plant and will conserve and reclaim water used within the plant.</p><p><strong>What is LEED?</strong> Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is one of the most popular green building certification programs used worldwide. LEED seeks to optimize the use of natural resources, promote regenerative and restorative strategies, maximize the positive and minimize the negative environmental and human health consequences of the construction industry, and provide high-quality indoor environments for building occupants.</p><p><strong>What is ENVISION?</strong> Envision® is a sustainability rating system and planning guide for introducing sustainability considerations into infrastructure projects. Envision assesses not only individual project performance, but how well projects contribute to the efficiency and long-term sustainability of the communities they serve.</p><p>Both rating systems are complementary and provide a flexible framework to identify sustainable approaches throughout Project design, construction and plant operations.</p><br></div> |

A community liaison is available to address issues, answer questions from the community, and provide project updates as they arise.</p><p>We have worked closely with North Shore communities, special interest groups, local governments and First Nations since 2012 to learn about their values, interests and concerns. This engagement informed the design of the new wastewater treatment plant.

| About the Conveyance Project | About the Conveyance Project | <div class="ExternalClass0C7E7C2DF1EC42038D0CC505217B91DE"><p>A new pump station and new pipes are needed to move wastewater from West Vancouver to the new North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant, and to move treated wastewater from the new plant to the existing outfall pipe, which will remain in service. </p><p>In early September 2022, the North Shore Conveyance Partners (Kenaidan Contracting Ltd. and Michels Canada) completed their work on the North Shore Conveyance Project. </p><p>This work, which started in late 2018, included the design and construction of:</p><ul><li>The new First Narrows Pump Station</li><li>Approximately three kilometres of conveyance pipes</li><li>The tie-in to connect the newly constructed pipe, which will carry treated wastewater from the new treatment plant, to the existing marine outfall</li></ul><p>There will be a future phase of construction to install the final sewer pipes needed to connect the new treatment plant to the North Shore’s sewer collection systems. This work will be undertaken when construction of the treatment plant is nearing completion, and we will provide more information about what to expect in future project updates.</p><p>

<p>The newly constructed First Narrows Pump Station, located under the Lions Gate Bridge (exterior – left image; interior pumps and equipment – right image) will help to move wastewater from West Vancouver to the new North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant. The building façade features original artwork by James Harry (commissioned by North Shore Conveyance Partners and Metro Vancouver – see inset). The pump station has received two awards: a 2022 Vancouver Regional Construction Association
<a href="https://vrca.ca/aoe/2022-silver-award-winners/" target="_blank">Award of Excellence</a>, and a 2023 British Columbia Association of Consulting Engineering Companies
