LYTTON FIRST NATION NUUAUTIN IR 2B SUBDIVISION AND STEIN WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECTS
and the Stein Water System Improvements. The Federal Government is funding each of these projects separately through Indigenous Services Canada Community Initiatives. The Stein Water System currently does not have capacity to service the proposed Nuuautin IR 2B subdivision. The upgrade will provide increased water capacity to the LFN community currently connected to the Stein Water System. This upgrade to the system will service the new subdivision, address existing and future capacity concerns, and increase the reliability of the existing system, ensuring long term sustainability, and community safety.
Welcome to the Community Open House for the Lytton First Nation (LFN) Nuuautin IR 2B Subdivision and Stein Water System Improvement Projects. Thank you for taking the time to review the project information material. Updated information about the projects can be found on the open house boards. We welcome your comments, questions, and feedback. As part the recovery efforts following the Lytton Creek Wildfire, 39 temporary modular homes were constructed on Inkluckcheen IR 21 and Nuuautin IR 2 in 2022, along with a new community centre and band office. Additional homes are still needed, and it is a significant priority for LFN to build more homes for community members that are still without housing. LFN has contracted Aplin Martin to design a 28-Home Subdivision

NUUAUTIN IR 2B SUBDIVISION PROJECT SUMMARY In 2023 the subdivision project was initiated through funding from Indigenous Services Canada. In Winter 2024, Aplin Martin was selected to complete the subdivision design and water system improvement design, and prepare the tender package for construction. A 56-lot subdivision design has been completed, and 28 homes will be constructed in the subdivision in 2025. To ensure safe and reliable access to the site, Alkali Road will receive a full upgrade including full width asphalt surfacing, gravel shoulders, and drainage provisions.
WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT SUMMARY A significant portion of LFN reserve land receives domestic water and fire protection from the Stein Water System. The water system draws water from the Stein River, treats this water, and delivers it across a vast area of LFN reserves on the west and east sides of the Fraser River. Prior to the wildfire, this water system was operating near capacity. With the addition of new development resulting from the wildfire recovery as well as the proposed new subdivision, the water system needs to be upgraded.
Key features for the 28 new homes are:
The upgrades will include:
New underground water reservoir and new pump system to service the subdivision;
On-site sanitary treatment (septic system);
Upgrades to the existing water treatment system and pump stations; and
Snake fencing around each lot for safety; and
New water main connection to the subdivision, and tie-in to the existing system.
Fire smart design safety features.

SITE SELECTION AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
SITE SELECTION AND FEASIBILITY ANALYSIS
SITE PHOTO I Nuuautin IR 2B
• LFN selected Nuuautin IR 2B as the preferred location for this new subdivision based on a subdivision feasibility study, as well as consistency with LFN land use plans. • The subdivision project originates from a previous community engagement and community approval in 2006. This area was known as East Fraser Subdivision (99-unit subdivision), referenced in the LFN land use plan (2016), and every CCP since starting CCP work. • Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) funded the Subdivision Feasibility Study to look at two location options for housing and the reservoir location: the Battlefield on Inkluckcheen IR 21, and a parcel on Nuuautin IR 2B. • The Stein Water System Improvement Project is based on a feasibility study conducted in 2023 that identified the key upgrade needs for the Stein Water System.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
• The subdivision will be located within the Ponderosa Pine very dry hot (PPxh) biogeoclimatic subzone.
• Measures will be implemented to protect the Western Rattlesnake during development, supported by a detailed Snake Mitigation Plan.

STEIN WATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENT PROJECT: UPDATE
STEIN WATER SYSTEM UPGRADES OVERVIEW I Nuuautin IR 2B
•Locations of the water system upgrades: Nuuautin IR 2, 2B, 21, and Kleetlekut IR 22.
The Stein Water System expanse is on West and East side of the Fraser River.
•Pump station upgrades will be located within Stryen 9, and Inkluckcheen 21.
• The Water System will exceed the ISC requirements for fire storage and meet the
Fire Underwriters Survey (FUS) specifications of 67 L/s for 1.5 hours for single-
family homes, and 117 L/s for 2 hours for institutional buildings (specifically at the
new Stein Valley Nlakapamux School).
•The Water System is projected to support population growth for 20 years.
•This is based on growth projections from Indigenous Services Canada’s
Indigenous Statistics and Research Unit.

PROJECT Q & A
WHAT IS THE CURRENT USAGE AND CAPACITY OF THE STEIN WATER SYSTEM? Based on the feasibility study conducted on August 9, 2023, for the Stein Water System Improvement Project, the current water system is operating at about 50% of its total capacity to meet the Maximum Daily Demand (MDD) flow (which is the highest amount of water used throughout the day). However, when it comes to the Peak Hour Demand (PHD) flow, the system is using all available capacity to meet the demand during the busiest hours. There are some areas within the system where the available storage for fire suppression is insufficient, which means that the system may not be adequately equipped to handle fire emergencies in those locations. In simpler terms, this means that while the water system can handle regular daily demands well, it might struggle to cope with sudden high demands, especially during peak hours, and there may be areas where firefighting capabilities are limited.
WILL THE NEW SUBDIVISION REDUCE WATER SUPPLY? The upgrades planned for the Stein Water System, including a new intake, reservoir, and system improvements, will ensure adequate water supply, including emergency and fire storage. The water system upgrades are designed to accommodate the 20-year forecasted on-reserve population; therefore, the upgrades are planned to provide capacity for the next 20 years at a minimum, based on the current rate of on-reserve population growth. Following the upgrades, ongoing monitoring and management of water resources will be essential to sustainably manage the supply over the long term. Concurrent with the design improvement of the Stein Water System, there are funding discussions with Indigenous Services Canada to start hydrologic review and water licensing on the Stein River to assess the amount of annual water flow needed to sustain an increase for Lytton First Nation water license. Alkali Road will be upgraded and designated as an Emergency Egress route for the Nuuautin 2B Subdivision and other homes on Alkali Road. Green Meadows Road will be designated as an Emergency Egress route and utilized temporarily during the construction phase of the project. WHAT WILL BE THE EMERGENCY ROUTE FOR THE NEW SUBDIVISION?
PLEASE ASK US ANY OTHER QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
