On a routine inspection April 2008 of the outfall that dips into the Juan de Fuca Strait, divers observed rockfish, greenling and lingcod using the structures crevices for habitat and breeding. This video contains footage from that diving expedition, showing the marine life along the 1.7-km-long, 30-metre-deep fused plastic outfall pipe, concrete weights and ballast mats.
