Reay Creek is a fish bearing stream that runs through the airport’s east industrial area, though Sidney and then drains into Bazan Bay. Early in 2012, the VAA approved $230,000 to remediate Reay Creek. Primary goals of this project are to:

  • Reduce heavy metal and other pollutant

concentrations in storm water runoff

  • Incorporate fish and riparian habitat features for

potential fish habitat restoration in upper Reay Creek in the future

  • Improve water quality while limiting bird and wildlife

conflicts with the airport

  • Provide for emergency storage to limit the impact of

contaminant spills or other emergent events

  • Testing for cadmium and other heavy metals from various
  • utfalls took place over the course of several years. Storm drains

and pipes were cleaned and testing continued.

  • In late January of 2012, the initial concept of the Reay Creek

remediation project was formed and core samples from the proposed location where taken.

  • Letters of support were rallied from community stakeholders.
  • An RFP for design/build was issued.
  • Required permits and approval were obtained from the

department of fisheries and oceans.
