Fraser River Bank Erosion Protection Enhancement Project
FY 2023-24 · 2023-07-28
Summary
This Project seeks to reduce the risk of further erosion on the Fraser River bank, and in particular the erosion of the Matsqui Dyke, which protects the Sumas First Nation and the Matsqui First Nation downstream. The Project will use two types of assets to achieve this : the construction of benched vane spurs along the south bank of the Fraser River and the construction of several hard points at the existing erosion arcs, to prevent them from further enlarging. Once complete, the Project is expected to protect the dyke from erosion caused by climate change.

Description (French)
Ce projet vise à réduire le risque d'érosion future sur la rive du fleuve Fraser, et en particulier l'érosion de la digue Matsqui, qui protège la Première Nation de Sumas et la Première Nation de Matsqui en aval. Le projet utilisera deux types d'actifs pour y parvenir : la construction d'éperons à aubes en banc le long de la rive sud du fleuve Fraser et la construction de plusieurs points durs aux arcs d'érosion existants, pour les empêcher de s'élargir davantage. Une fois terminé, le projet devrait protéger la digue de l'érosion causée par le changement climatique.
