Staff Report
Origin
The 2008 - 2031 Richmond Flood Protection Strategy identified the need to "Prepare and
implement a comprehensive dike improvement program". On June 13,2011 Council approved
that $200,000 of surplus from the 2010 operating budget be used to initiate a Dike Master Plan.
This budget is being used to fund Phase 1 of the mastcr plan, which is primarily focused on
identifyi ng a long term flood protection improvement plan for the Steveston and southern West
Dike area.
The purpose of this staff report is to present preliminary concepts for flood protection works "18t
will be required to address long-term sea levc\ rise and future flood risks.
Analysis
Richmond has grown into a large thriving City with considerable assets to protect. Directed by
the 2008 - 2031 Richmond Flood Protection Strategy, the Drainage and Diking Utility was
created to fund the construct ion, operation and maintenance of City dikcs, drainage pump
stations and drainage conveyance systems that protect the City against floods. The Drainage,
Dike and Sanitary System Bylaw No 7551 and Watercourse Protection and Crossing Bylaw No.
8441 regulate drainage activities to minimise the risk of flooding inside of the City's dike. The
Flood Plain Designation and Protection Bylaw No. 8204 prevents development from encroaching
onto dikes and requires that allncw finished floor areas susceptible to flood damage be above the
flood plain construction level.
The Dike Master Plan is intended to be a comprehensive guide to upgrade flood protection
infrastructure to:
Adequately protect Richmond from both ocean stonn surges and Fraser River freshet
events,
Adapt to sea level rise,
Meet appropriate seismic and other design standards,
Follow the five strategic directions of the City's 2009 Waterfront Strategy, and
Prioritize dike improvement phasing to effi ciently use resources.
Sea and river dikes form the backbone of Richmond's flood protection infrastructure. As a Local
Diking Authority the City of Riclunond manages the integrity of 49 km of dike on Lulu and Sea
Islands. Tn the medium to long tenn, dike crest elevations will need to be raised to mitigate sea
level rise caused by climate change.
Richmond's dikes are located in City right-of-ways, City owned land, Federal/Provincial Land
and private land. Land ownership and land use issues create a number of challenges that the City
must address as dike crest elevations are raised. Creating a long-term dike master plan for the
Steveston area has been identified as a priority. The Steveston dike impacts many things, for
example, existing roads and buildings, heritage structures, harbour funct ionality and Steveston
Village's unique character. Development is also hindered without a long-term master plan.
Actual implementation of any approved master plan would occur over many decades as the
identified sea level risk wi ll largely materialize beyond the 50-year timeline.

The City has engaged DeicanJDI-IV as the lead consultant to complete Phase 1 of the Dike
Master Plan. Tasked with identifying traditional and creat ive fl ood protection solutions that have
minimal impact, Delean has identified two primary dike alignments between Garry Point Park
and London Farm: I) raisi ng the dikes in their current or similar alignment, or 2) using Steveston
(Shady) Island to form a new dike stmcturc. These alignments are illustrated in Attacbment 1
and are explained below.
Primary Alignment 1: Rai se dikes in their current alignment or a close parallel ali gnment on
Lulu Island
Rai sing dikes in their current location presents a number of challenges that include limited space,
uti lity confli ct, development conflict and construction scheduling. Leaving dikes in their existing
ali gnment also excludes a number ofpropel1ies from current and future fl ood protection.
Attacbment I shows the dike di vided into a number of reach boundaries (sections). Within each
reach the dike' s current ali gnment as well as some proposed alternative ali gnment options arc
shown.
Attachment 2 presents a series of dike ali gnment options within each reach boundary. Options
vary with location and seismic design considerations. For reasons relating mainly to land
ownership, land use and heritage preservation, dike alignment options are presented that exclude
some City, Provincial and Federal property from fl ood protection. Should these alternatives be
chosen and property is left outside of the Ci ty's main dike the property owners could use a
number of strategies to prevent local flood danlage that include changing property and building
usage, raising building elevations, raising ground elevations or constructing private fl ood wall s.
Moving the dike cl oser to the water's edge presents challenges and would significantl y change
the look and feel of the existing harbour and potentially di srupt sensitive shoreline ecology. In
some areas sheet pile walls with backfilled dike materi al will likely be required to create a
seismically stable dike that is capable of meeting today's dike crest planning elevation (4.7 m
geodetic is used in this study) and those required further into the futlITe.
Primary Alignment 2: Raise a dike on Steveston Island and install gate structures to enclose the
harbour
This al ignment uses a simi lar layout to the Steveston Community Fishing Harbour Long Term
Devel opment Plan that is proposed under the City'S Waterfront Strategy Implementation Plan.
However, while the Community Fishing Harbour Plan is envisaged to have two clear openings at
each end of the Harbour' s channel, thi s alternative would use gates or other structures that would
close the channel during combined high tides and storm surge events. Assuming that water
quality can be maintained, another option is to completel y close the channel at its east end. The
implications of full enclosure on dredging needs has not yet been anaJysed. Similarly, the
ecological impacts on existing wetlands located within and east of the harbour and authorization
from Federal Agencies in relation to ecological, First Nations, and/or fi sheries values have not
yet been evaluated.
Primary Ali gnment 2 (Attachment 3) shows that the proposed dike would begi n somewhere
west of71h Avenue where a new structure would be built heading South into the Steveston
Harbour that would intersect the west end of Steveston Island. At this point, Stcveston Island
would be modified along its entire length to form a dike. Additional structures or embankments
would then be needed to enclose the Harbour approximately 250 m east of No.2 Road. At its
CNCL - 373
June 27, 2012 - 4 -
west end, a gate structure would be built to close off the Harbour during peri ods of combined
storm surge and high tide. A pump station may also be required to ensure stable water elevations
during closure periods. Attachment 3 shows renderings that have previously been presented to
Council of the Steveston Community Fishing Harbour Long Term Development Concept. The
renderi ng has been modified to show the compatibil ity of the dike development concept with the
Integrated Flood Protection Strategy.
Option Comparison
In preparation for stakeholder discussions, Table J makes a preliminary comparison of the pros
and cons of Primary Alignment 1 versus Primary Alignment 2.
The two primary alignments are not exclusive of each other. Elements of each could be used
over time to provide a complete fl ood protection package.

Sturgeon Bank. Roberts Bank and River Training Structures
The existing river training structures (rock groynes and timber pilings) at the Fraser River's
mouth and the extensive Sturgeon Bank mud fl ats protect Richmond's West Dike and the
Steveston arca from large waves that develop in the Georgia Strait. As sea levels rise water
washing over these areas will become deeper and the current level of wave protection will be
reduced.
Sediment deposition and erosion on Sturgeon Bank occurs due to a multitude of factors that
changed significantly through the 19
th
Century. Tidal drift, river dredging and river training
structures all impact sedimentation in the Fraser Ri ver Delta. It is unclear how current
sedimentation patterns will effect Sturgeon Bank's ability to mitigate wave action, however, any
net erosion is anticipated to exacerbate the loss of wave protection caused by rising sea levels.
The maintenance and enhancement of river training structures is anticipated to help protect
Richmond from waves and wi ll also benefit shipping and local harbour activities. As is now
being practiced around the world, beach nourishment (the addition of sand and sediment to a
"beach") may be used to grow mud flat and sand banks to restore (e.g. New Orleans, Louisiana)
or enhance (e.g. ocean beaches, The Netherlands) wave protection. Although its effectiveness in
the Fraser River Delta is not yet understood, the careful planning of beach nourishments may
mitigate wave action from the Georgia Strait and benefit the natural envirolUnent (Steveston
Island is partially manmade which over the last 50 to 100 years has changed from a low lying
sand bank into its current make up of trees, plants and intertidal beaches that support an
abundance of wildlife). Sturgeon Banks arc currently designated as Provincially protected for
their hi gh well and ecological value and migratory bird habitat.
Reach 8, Options B and C (Attachment 2) indicate how elevating Sturgeon Bank or creating a
chain of islands along it (similar to Steveston Island) could reduce current and future wave action
on the west dike that would minimise future dike crest elevation upgrades.
Next Steps
Staff plan to gain feedback from key stakeholders and the public. Key stakeholders include:
Steveston Harbour Authority
Small Craft Harbours
Port Metro Vancouver
Department of Fisheries and Oceans
Be Inspector of Dikes
Gulf of Georgia Cannery Society / Parks Canada
Britannia Heritage Shipyard Socicty
Heritage Advisory Committee
Advisory Committee on the Environment
CNCL - 375
June 27, 2012 - 6 -
The key stakeholder group will be engaged through ongoing meetings and communications.
Public consultation would incl ude two public open houses held before the end of September.
Financial Impact
None.
Conclusion
Consistent with the City' s 2008 - 203 1 Richmond Flood Protection Strategy, Phase I of a Dike
Master Plan is bei ng prepared. Two primary dike al ignments in the Steveston arca as well as
wave mitigation strategies for the southern West Dike area have been prepared for key
stakeholder consultation. Staff plan to engage stakeholders so that they may provide input into
dClcmlining a preferred future dike ali gnment in the Stevcston area.
