NOTICE OF WORK IN AREA
BGC Engineering and members of their team will be in the Chilliwack River Valley from August 25th to 27th and will be assessing landslides and steep creek processes. Residents should be aware that BGC Engineering employees may need to access specific properties as part of this field work. The consultants will carry identification and will have a letter to provide property owners during the field work. Consultants will be accessing areas prone to these geohazards by vehicle and foot and may take photographs of landscapes and properties. Thank you for your assistance and understanding during this phase of the project.
This project is fully funded by the Ministry of Emergency Management and Climate Readiness. The FVRD is working with BGC Engineering to assess slope stability risk in the Chilliwack River Valley (Electoral Area E). Slope stability risk refers to geohazards that may impact residences and infrastructure and includes processes such as landslides, debris flows, rotational slumps, rockfall, and rockslides. While we recognize it is important to assess all types of natural hazards, this project focuses specifically on geohazards, rather than other risks such as flooding or wildfires.
In broad terms, the intent of the work is to:
understand slope hazards and risks through comprehensive technical assessment, mapping, and modeling;
assess the safety of existing lands, infrastructure, development, and residents;
consider future conditions, including climate change; and,
identify strategies and mitigation options to reduce risks to the community.
Area of Assessment:
The Project Area includes the slopes on both sides of the Chilliwack River valley, extending from Baker Trails in the east to the Slesse Park landslide to the west, as well as the Ranger Run area, and the subdivision at Post Creek. Communities within the valley include Baker Trails, Bell Acres, Slesse Park, and Post Creek.
Be Heard & Get Involved:
Ensuring those that may be impacted have a high level of awareness of the risks and potential implications is crucial in supporting community resilience to landslide risk. As part of this project, we will be engaging the community by providing regular updates here, offering a survey, and hosting a community workshop in the fall.
