Like any construction project, there will be a potential for impacts, including: noise, dust, light, vibration and traffic.

One of our construction principles is to minimize construction-related impacts to residents, businesses, property owners, communities and Aboriginal groups in the Site C project area.

Some examples of mitigation measures include:

• Contractors will use acoustic barriers, fencing and vegetative screens to muffle noise where feasible.
• Where feasible, we will restrict hours of work that causes noise.
• Contractors will be using dust suppression systems on equipment, covering loads or materials that may emit dust, and suppressing dust on unpaved roads with water or another approved dust suppressant.
• To reduce traffic impacts, contractors will use leisure and airport shuttles for workers to reduce the number of cars on roads, and limiting heavy truck traffic during periods when the school buses are in service.
