Proposed Development of 1950 West Park Lane (Phases 3 – 6) - Letter from J. Marr

Mr. Jeff Chow - December 14, 2020

Proposed Development of 1950 West Park Lane (Phases 3 – 6)

Please note that the fire flow stated above does not account for the maximum allowable velocity in the water mains under fire flow conditions permitted by the CRD. Depending on the fire flow requirements of the development, upgrading of the existing water distribution system may be required.

In stating the fire flow available, the CRD expresses no opinion as to the adequacy of the stated fire flow to provide fire protection and if applicable, recommends that the Owner(s) take the appropriate steps to confirm the available fire flow by means of a field hydrant flow test (if required the hydrant flow test will be carried out by CRD staff at the Owner(s) expense). Results of the field hydrant flow test may have to be adjusted to reflect a maximum day demand scenario.

The Owner's Engineer will be required to calculate the fire flow requirements to Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) standards for the development and confirm in writing to both the CRD and the Town of View Royal that the available flow from the CRD system is sufficient. It is recommended the Owner's Engineer contact the Town of View Royal to discuss hydrant location and orientation.

If an increase in the level of fire protection is required to meet CRD Engineering Specifications and Standard Drawings, FUS or to meet the requirements of the Town of View Royal, the Owner(s) would be responsible for all costs associated with designing and upgrading the distribution system to the extent necessary to provide the required flows.

Depending on the intended use of the property, a Development Cost Charge may apply to each of the new lots/units created by this development.

It is assumed that the wastewater generated from this development will eventually be discharged into the regional sewer system for eventual treatment and disposal at the CRD McLoughlin Point Wastewater Treatment Plant. Please be reminded that the Town of View Royal has an allocated capacity in the regional conveyance and treatment system as defined in Bylaw 2312, “Liquid Waste Management Core Area and Western Communities Service Establishment Bylaw No. 1, 1995”. The CRD will require the Town of View Royal to review and confirm that the additional wastewater flows generated from this proposed development does not exceed View Royal’s total allocated capacity in the regional system.

This letter is for the purpose of providing you with information regarding the services available from the CRD, and should not be construed as either approval or rejection of the proposed development by the CRD.

These conditions are valid for 180 days from date of writing. However, if at any time there is a change in legislation, regulations and CRD Bylaw No. 4190, which would cause any of the above conditions to be non-conforming, then the CRD reserves the right to revise any or all of the conditions accordingly, at any time during the 180 day period.

Yours truly,

Joseph Marr, P.Eng. Manager, Water Distribution Engineering and Planning Infrastructure Engineering Integrated Water Services
