Dear Ms Cook;

Enclosed is the Environmental Monitoring Report for the Surrey Schedule 2 Capital Works Project for the replacement of a culvert on McLellan Creek at ~6~ Avenue, your file number 76910-60199.2303K. This is the Surrey Drainage Package D54199, Project ID: 1584, Project M8973220-00.

The Environmental monitor for this project was Mr. Tom Cleugh RPBio of Sigma Engineering, phone number 604-688-8271 Ext. 317. Mr. Cleugh was on site during all work within the riparian zone.

Thank you for your cooperation with this project. If you have any questions please contact myself or Mr. Brian Samson at Ext. 385.

McLELLAN CREEK AT 56TH AVENUE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT

The project is located on McLellan Creek at 56th venue in the City of Surrey, and

consists of replacement of a culvert. The objective of the project was to provide safe

conveyance of McLellan Creek flows under 56' Avenue. The minor flow at the crossing

iTj.54 m3/s and the major flow is 9.0 m3/s. The previous twin 1066- metal culverts

had a capacity of 5.6 m3/s which was less than the major flows. The installed 5'x8'

concrete box culverts can pass all flows with an allowance for 1' of sediment deposition.

The presence of sinkholes on the road crossing was also an indication of deteriorating

culverts that posed a safety hazard.

All the work was within the riparian zone and required a full time monitor on site during

the culvert replacement. The potential impacts consisted of siltation, which could result

from work in or near the stream or if high flows occur during installation of the new

culvert.

A pre-construction site meeting with the contractor took place on 6 August 1999. The

environmental considerations, including spill contingency were discussed with the

contractor at that time. Construction commenced on August 10, 1999. The initial site

preparation was to establish an upstream barrier dam and install a pump with fish screens

to divert the stream flow past a downstream barrier dam. The barrier dam consisted of a

gravel base with a filter cloth cover held down with large rocks. Three upstream hay

_ bales were also used to keep fish away from the pump. The stream between the barrier

dams was electro-shocked with three passes for fish salvage. All captured fish were

released downstream since the upstream fish habitat was limited to only 100 meters.

During the construction a total of 1 17 fish, mostly coho, were removed fiom the impacted

zone. Other observed organisms included several rabbits, four otters, blue heron, and

numerous crayfish.

Construction consisted of an excavator removing the existing culverts. Replacement was

accomplished using a crane lifting the culvert sections into the trench. During

construction diverted storm water flowing into the excavation was discharged to a well-

vegetated area and allowed to flow through filter cloth back to the stream. A series of

logs and stones were used as energy dispersal for the diverted flow.

McLELLAN CREEK AT 56TH AVENUE ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING REPORT

All environmental protection was checked on regular basis. Construction in the riparian

zone lasted until 20 August 1999. The area was cleaned-up, smoothed over and all

construction materials removed. The site restoration consisted of re-planting lost

vegetation (95 shrubs, one tree, and 96 wetland plants) and hydro-seeding the exposed

sGpe with deep rooting grasses and legumes. The bed and banks within 3m of the culvert

headwalls were rip rapped with 0.5m stone. Ten meters of upstream banks and streambed

were covered with coho gravel to prevent erosion until the vegetation recovers. The

streambed within the culvert was also covered with coho gravel to a depth of 20cm. A

post-construction site inspection and fish survey took place on August 26 1999. The

captured fish were entirely coho; no other species were observed. The total captured was

170 fish, the majority of which were captured in the culvert and at the rock clusters at the

entrance and exit of the culvert.

The construction was completed with four environmental incidents. Work was stopped on

the 1 1 th, the 13" and the 15' & 16" of August 1999. All incidences were caused by

excessive rain the previous nights and resultant increased sedimentation. After site

cleanup, work resumed the next day in each case. During this period of high rainfall the

pumps had to be increased to handle the excessive flows. Apart from the high rainfalls no

other environmental difficulties were encountered.

An opportunity for enhancement of the fish habitat exists in the creek. There is an

- impassable barrier to fish located about lOOm upstream of the culvert. The barrier

consists of a man made concrete obstruction about one meter high. It appears the

obstruction may have been used for flow control but may no longer be required since it is

in some disrepair. If this were to be removed or reduced in height to a passable level the

fish habitat area would be increased thus increasing fish productivity.
