have agreed to the following criteria:
- Guidelines/Best

Track 1 project
2008 Project
List
1. 2008-01-B001 – Gemz Holdings (VFPA) DNV - GEMZ is proposing to re-construct a residential moorage facility. The work proposed will entail the removal of existing decking on the pier to be replaced with new 2X6 decking and handrails, as well as installation of a 45' ramp and replacement of the existing float to be secured by the installation of two steel piles as per the engineering design of IP Consulting. The VFPA anticipates releasing the Schedule of Environmental Conditions on January 17, 2007.
2. 2008-01-B002 – Lafarge (VFPA) CNV - Lafarge is proposing to install two new single pile steel berthing dolphins at its North Vancouver Depot (at the McKeen and Wilson site immediately west of the Fibreco terminal in North Vancouver).

3. 2008-02-B003 – Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd. (VFPA) CNV – Application for proposed maintenance dredging at berths 1, 2, and 3. The dredging required will be a maximum of 6000 cubic metres of sediments. VFPA letter to be sent out on Feb. 25/08 pending BERC’s comments
4. 2008-03-B004 – City of Port Moody (VFPA) PM - The City of Port Moody is planning to increase short term moorage space at the boat launch, because people using the facility now have further to go to the parking lot (i.e., it now takes longer to launch and park, so boat residence time is longer). The proposal calls for 4 new floats, each 8' x 40', but only two will be installed immediately. The other two are to be installed later, after the next dredging occasion. This schedule is valid only for the immediately proposed works. VFPA to release the schedule on Friday, March 7, 2008 subject to BERC comments.
