SCRD STAFF REPORT 
  
 
DATE: January 10, 2014 
TO: Area F Advisory Planning Commission and Natural Resources Advisory Committee 
(January 2014) 
FROM: David Rafael, Senior Planner 
RE: TEMPORARY USE PERMIT F-  01 FOR A CONCRETE BATCH PLANT TO CONSTRUCT 
THE 
BOX CANYON HYDRO PROJECT (ELECTORAL AREA F) 
 
RECOMMENDATION 
1. THAT the Area F APC and NRAC consider the draft TUP and comment on 
whether there are additional conditions should be required.  Also whether 
there are any issues that need to be addressed before the SCRD Board 
considers whether to issue the permit. 
 
BACKGROUND 
At the July 25, 2013 meeting the SCRD Board adopted Bylaw 310.109 to designate the general 
location of the powerhouse for the Box Canyon project as I9 (Independent Power Project).  The 
bylaw amendment included a provision that the 
I9 area also be designated as a temporary use 
permit area. 
As part of the process for amending Bylaw 310, the proponents (Box Canyon Hydro Corps.) 
were advised to apply for a temporary use permit (TUP) for the anticipated concrete batch plant 
that would be needed to support the project’s construction.  The SCRD received an application 
for a TUP for a concrete batch plant for a period of 16 months (from spring 2014 to autumn 
2015).  The batch plant will be located within the area designated as 
I9, near the location of the 
proposed powerhouse and over 30 metres from McNab Creek or any other stream.  The 
applicant provided a letter outlining the proposal and location map (Attachment A) and 
documents setting out best management practices, specifications for the type of portable batch 
plant, the proponent’s Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and the 
province’s License of Occupation.  All of these documents are available from staff and were 
posted on the SCRD website prior. 
The proponent held pre-application discussions with staff to set out the timelines, information 
requirements and TUP process.  The proponent hopes to commence work in the spring of 2014 
and desires that the TUP is issued by the end of March 2014 to facilitate this. 
A report and draft TUP was considered at the December Planning and Development Committee 
and at the January 9, 2014 Board the following resolution was adopted:
