Glossary Glossary “Arms” of the Fraser There are four “arms” of the Fraser River as shown on Map 1 · The North Arm running north of Sea Island from the trifurcation at New Westminster; · The Middle Arm running off the North Arm and flowing south of Sea Island; · The South Arm running south from the trifurcation at New Westminster, often referred to as the Main Stem for navigational purposes; and · The Main Arm which carries all waters flowing from the region upstream of the New Westminster trifurcation. Authorization Any document issued by the Lead Agency authority to undertake dredging. Available Sand The non-dredged volume of the annual allowable sediment budget for the Fraser River as established by the responsible agencies. Borrow Dredging Dredging for the purposes of providing material to be used for commercial purposes (as fill or construction materials at another location). Coarse Sand See definition under “sand”. Coordinated Project Review (CPR) The process through FREMP whereby all development applications are reviewed in tandem by all appropriate regulatory agencies. Deep Sea Channel Length/width/depth of the deep sea channel as defined on the maps in this document. Dredging Removal of sediments from the riverbed. Estuary The region in which fresh and salt water mix when a river meets the sea. Fine Sand See definition under Sand. Gravel See definition under Sand. Lead Agency Any body which has the responsibility for issuing dredging permits. In the Fraser River Estuary downstream of Kanaka Creek, the Agencies will be one of: the Fraser River Port Authority, the North Fraser Port Authority, and the B.C. Assets and Land Corporation. Navigation Channel Any channel used for vessel traffic. Regulatory Agency Any government body that has legal authority to set regulations related to dredging. The regulatory agencies are: Fisheries and Oceans Canada (both Canadian Coast Guard and the Habitat and Enhancement Branch); Environment Canada; the Ministry of Environment, Lands and Parks; the British Columbia Assets and Land Corporation; the Fraser River Port Authority; and, the North Fraser Port Authority. 4 Glossary
Sand Material of a particular grain size that is deposited on the riverbed. In the Fraser River, sand (also referred to as coarse sand) is considered to be any material that has a grain size between 0.177mm and 2.00mm. Material larger than 2.00mm is referred to as gravel. Material finer than 0.177mm is referred to as fine sand. Also called wash load, this fine material does not deposit in the river; it is carried out of the river system and deposits on sandbanks beyond the mouth of the river. The term sand is often used interchangeably with the term sediment. In the FREMP area, the budget measures deposits and removals of material between 0.177mm and 2.00mm. Sandheads Kilometre marker 0.0: the seaward end of the South Arm Navigation Channel. Sand Registry A database located at the FREMP office and which contains a yearly record of the date and amount of coarse sand (see definition under Sand) deposited and/or removed and/or redistributed within the river. Sediment A general term to describe all material deposited on the river bottom. Sediment may be composed of fine sand and/or coarse sand and/or gravel (see definition for Sand above). Sediment Budget A measure of the net change in sediment stored in the river as a function of total inflow of sediment at Mission less the outflow into Georgia Strait. The sediment budget in any year represents the maximum permissible amount of material that may be removed from the estuary for any reason. In the FREMP area, the budget measures deposits of material between 0.177mm and 2.00mm. Wash Load For the Fraser River, any sediment with a particle size smaller than 0.063mm. 5 Glossary
