Government granted farmed land and timber claims Henry Croft bought the townsite to build a copper smelter and house his workers and copper prices fell and the mine closed 1908. The miners struggled to find work in
the logging and fishing industries. In 1956, a large pulp and paper mill was built on the outskirts of town, attracted by Crofton's deep-sea port. The mill has gone through many environ disasters and the town through
cleaning up the mill poluution from the acid damage. The mill is financially at risk and Catalyst, the present directors are negotiating with unions, closing, and water issues Crofton is the location of a BC

Long-term goal
Desired Goal: Crofton Natural Hazards Management & Mitigation Plan Updated and
Revised to Include Urban & Transportation Development, Constitution Tunnel high speed rail and high-
way with supporting manufacturing and housing for the increased economic activity, population, tourism,
due to construction and post construction.
Goal in more detail: The Community Profile must be paired with the new Urban
and Transportation Development and Hazard Mitigation and Management Planned with Actions and
Responsibility designated. Existing Social Orders have been defined and relied upon but the Tunnel
and it's existing structure requires additional planning for mitigation of natural and man made hazards.
Cowichan District, Vancouver Island's, and the province of British Columbia’s
probability and vulnerability rating systems, the village/city of Crofton used the same rating scales as
provided within British Columbia Emergency Management’s Hazard Analysis Methodology template.
(See James P. Bruce Hazard Analysis scores in Appendix A. Rating scales) [a list prepared]. Note that
the village/city did complete a full hazard analysis that is included in the Village and Cities minutes
available online at Crofton/Chemainus. Probability estimates are based on the frequency of previous
events, and vulnerability estimates are based on potential impacts that were discussed during the April
15th risk assessment workshop.

The Present Situation
The Current Situation: Crofton Map & Hazards Risk Assessment. Addressing
Crofton’s unique risks to the following natural hazards: drought, earthquake, flood, landslide, volcano,
wildfire, windstorm, and severe winter storm.
Community Organizations & Programs: Social systems defined as community organizations and
programs that provide social and community-based services, such as health care or housing
assistance, to the public.
Table 9 Crofton Community Organizations below highlights community organizations and programs within
the city that may be potential partners for implementing mitigation actions. The table includes
information on each organization or program’s service area, types of services offered, populations
served, and how the organization or program could be involved in natural hazard mitigation.
The three involvement methods include:
Education and outreach: organization could partner with the community to educate the public or provide
outreach assistance on natural hazard preparedness and mitigation.
Information dissemination: organization could partner with the community to provide hazard-related
information to target audiences.
Plan/project implementation: organization may have plans and/or policies that may be used to implement
mitigation activities or the organization could serve as the coordinating or partner organization to
implement mitigation actions.
In planning for natural hazard mitigation, it is important to know what social systems exist within the community because of
their existing connections to the public. Often, actions identified by the plan involve communicating with the public or specific
subgroups within the population (e.g. elderly, children, low income).

Development up to Present
Development made up to the current situation: Catalyst has a direct control on water for the Crofton area and availability.
Crofton Council has written of their concern over this and of the mill closing.
Drought: The Cowichan District Natural Hazards Mitigation Plan adequately identifies the causes and characteristics of
drought within the region, as well as historical drought events. Drought can affect all segments of a jurisdiction, particularly
those employed in water-dependent activities (e.g.,agriculture, recreation, etc.). Additionally, public water providers can expe-
rience shortages. The extent (i.e., magnitude or severity) of a drought depends upon temperature and rainfall/snowfall over a
period of time, as well as hydrological conditions and populations affected.
Important background information: Water Management Plan, the current water system is designed to meet projected Urban
Growth Boundary (UGB) build-out but doesn't include additional consumption of the water supply for manufacturing and as-
sembling industries, needed for materials for Constitution Tunnel high speed rail, and the increase in population of skilled
and unskilled labor, construction workers, and post construction settlement. Existing water reservoirs would almost serve a
projected population of 37,617.
Practice for Tsunami Disaster Mitigation Policy
Original forecasts turned out to be wrong when and where a tsunami will occur and the plate tectonic trigger is anticipated.
Original forecasts turned out to be true that Crofton’s mill and smelter is contaminating the land, water, and estuaries, sea.

to,
Potential Alternatives
Alternative strategies have been listed and initiated by the Crofton Council as directed in the Crofton Waterfront Plan, Draft 2009,
“Acquire additional land from Catalyst to complete public boat launch park and addi-
tional parking.”
Key negotiations that need to occur: Crofton, Federal & Provincial Government negotiate for Transportation-Constitution Tunnel
corridors development, Economic Incentive Loans for Sustainable Energy Industries and Business and Industries: assembly;
manufacturing; recycling/energy industries; MLA's that work for Economic Envelopment and Prosperity, and Sustainable Renew-
able Energy development Vancouver Island- constitution Island, BC; Catalyst Land & Water.
General and Specific Strategy: Developed, Hazard Plan Action-Decontamination of land, soils, water, and air, Natural Landscape
& Habitat. Develop Crofton and Vancouver Islands Transportation system with the intent to integrate Constitution Tunnel into the
existing features and propose additional improvements that accentuate the natural features of Osborne Bay and help economically
and feature natural features and landscape to define the Town of Crofton as Urban Land Development occurs with a developed
Hazard Plan in Action. Shared Ownership,
Origin of Costs: Shared Costs; Shared Ownership
Along with the existing features, there are immediate and future development opportunities that will influence Croftons' wa-
terfront and the Town as a whole. BC Ferries road access, terminal and trestle upgrade Development proposal for Twin
Gables property and oceanfront e Offer for sale of and potential future redevelopment of RV Park p Phase 3 sea-walk ex-
tension to Berridge St. Park
A unique constraint of the Crofton shoreline that currently limits its full use and enjoyment is the contaminated remnants of
an historic copper smelting operation. The remediation of these contaminated materials is a critical step to realizing
the full potential of this waterfront.
This waterfront plan provides general as well as specific recommendations with the intent to integrate existing fea-
tures and propose additional improvements that accentuate the natural features of Osborne Bay and help define the Town of
Crofton.
The vision is long-term and looks to a complete arrangement in the future.
It will take time and some key hurdles will need to be overcome to achieve all the aims in this plan.
Key negotiations that need to occur are: 'agreement from Provincial Government to develop and “Acquire addition-
al land from Catalyst to complete public boat launch park and additional parking.”'
