Demolition practice
ESQUIMALT, B.C. — The land-based demolition range at Bentinck Island will be in use Monday through Friday, April 27, the Royal Canadian Navy announced.
The range will be in use from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily during that time.
Bentinck Island is located near Race Rocks in the Strait of Juan de Fuca and is used as a terrestrial demolition range bythe Canadian Armed Forces.
Local residents will likely be unaware of the activities except on days when environmental conditions such astemperature, humidity and wind direction affect how far the sound will travel.
Studies conducted on the potential environmental effects of Bentinck Island demolitions have found that blast noise inthe marine environment during land-based demolitions is almost undetectable by acoustic equipment above that ofother underwater background sounds such as waves and marine life, the Royal Canadian Navy said in a news release.
