Pipe Pi pe C Context xt • 19.3 km forcemain • 12.4 km return • Pipes will be built within previously-disturbed existing road or path rights-of-way: o At Colquitz River crossing: deviation of 4m from roadway for 40m. o At Ward Creek crossing: deviation of 30m from roadway for 100m. • Estimated footprint of project is 3.8 ha, approximately 95% of which will be within previously-disturbed areas 5

Watercour ourse C Cros ossing ng Method hods • Majority of watercourse crossings will not involve instream work. • For bridge crossings at Admirals Bridge and Tillicum Bridge, pipe will be suspended from existing bridge • For culvert crossings the pipe will be installed over the culvert where possible • Where the pipe must be installed underneath, a ‘punch and bore’ method will be used • Trenches excavated on both sides of the existing culvert • Borehole drilled underneath culvert to connect trenches • Pipe will be installed through borehole • Only instream works will be at Ward Creek, Goward Springs A, Peers Creek, and Colquitz River. 12
