topic.

IIACKGROUND 6 COMMENTS

In January 1991 the B.C. Ministry of Environmeat published a discussion paper
on new directions for regulating contaminated sites. It is an excellent
publication and summarizes well the state of the industry regarding
contaminated sites.
The
report deals throughly with identificationL
remediation and on going monitoring of contaminated sites as they are

identified.

Ministry feels there is already an on going involvement by municipalities
in the process. Certainly by direct and indirect means it is oftea municipal
officials who identify contaminated sites and raise the issue with the
Ministry of Eavironment. In most cases the clean up and remedial action is
spear-headed by the Ministry of Environment. We understand there may be
stronger participation by municipal governments if in fact the .land is
municipal owned land, such as the receat clean up of harbour lands in Victoria.

The one area where we perhaps should take a stand is the proposal to delegate
many functions of the process directly to municipalities where a mutual
agreement can be established. The report recognizes that not all communities

can accept all responsibilities; however, in general they propose the
following functions could be delegated to a municipality:

Approval of remediation plans;
Review and approval of assessments;
— Determination of the extent of. public involvement;
— Requirement of financial assurance for the due performance
of the remediation process; and
— Certification of the remediated site.
—
—

Further, the report states that delegation of regulatory responsibility to
municipalities would have to take into account factors such as:
Technical capabilities of municipal staff;
Indemnification against liability of municipal officials; and
The types of pro]ects and sites, including whether they pose
unique, specialized assessment and remediation.
It is my opinion that we must strongly state the case that the municipalities
are not in a position to accept any responsibilities or delegation of
functions under this legislation at this time. There are several factors for
my position:
Most municipal officials in the engineering area are not
Technical
specialized in environmental issues and the technicalities
associated with the type of specialized analysis and training
necessary to deal intelligently and confidently in this area.
In fact it is our belief that specialists in this area are few
—
—

—

and far between.

Liability

Municipal officials, both elected and appointed are sub/act to
enough liability exposure with the current state of
responsibilities and obligations. There is also the new
predicament that certain offences now fall under the criminal
code rather than the civil code.

TO EPC

Responsible

Parties

It is our belief that many of the contaminated sites that are

currently identified or that are still unknown but potentially
exist belong to companies such as railways, ma ]or petroleum
companies and real estate holdings. It is undoubtedly more
within the financial capabilities of the Provincial Government
to deal effectively with these parties rather than small
municipalities. Further, companies that do business in
several municipalities could have identical problems, yet be
receiving different treatment because of a lack of
coordination.

In the covering letter to the discussion paper the writer indicates that a
meeting can be organized with a representative from the Ministry of
Environment. I have contacted Mr. Waldamer Braul in Vancouver and he has
agreed to attend a meeting at 5:00pm, March 13, 1991 if Committee agrees.

New Directions for Regulating
A Discussion Paper

Contaminated Sites:

Attached please find a copy'of a discussion paper prepared for the
Environmental Protection Division, Ministry of Er.vironment.
The April 5, 1990 Speech from the Throne announced plans for amendments to
the Waste Management Act relating to contaminated sites management. Bill.
68, Waste Management Amendment Act, 1990, which became effective August 30,
1990, implemented some initial changes. Many issues remained unaddressed;
however, pending further analysis and consultation.
The attached discussion paper identifies and discusses a wide range of
issues. It outlines various options and reviews approaches selected to
address them in legislation in other jurisdictions. Proposals currently
being considered by the Ministry of Environment are indicated.
The Environmental Protection Division intends to meet with a wide range of
interested parties, and provide opportunities for discussion of planned
legislation. In addition, written submissions will be welcomed.
If you wish to arrange a meeting for your organization, or to clarify
matters raised in the paper, please call Dr. John Wiens (387-9948) or Mr.
Lloyd Johansson (387-9950) in Victor'a, or Mr. Waldemar Braul (684-8886) in
Vancouver .

Written responses to the discussion paper should be. forwarded as soon as
possible, but no later than March 29I 1991 tot

Municipality such as ours would usually take the form of encouraging other
groups and organizations to pick up litter in vacant lands, within school
property, and other similar areas, and then offer to collect and dispose of
this collected material at no charge to the organization. Please note that
the group collecting the litter, i.e. Boy 6 Girl Scouts, private groups, etc.,
make their application directly to Pitch-In British Columbia for information
and a supply of free garbage bags.

Dear Sirs I

Proposed Recycling Service for
Port Coquitlam Industrial Sites
Upon discussion with the City Treasurer, Mr.
Maitland, it is our understanding that the City proposes
to introduce a curb-side blue box reclycling programme
which would include service to the industrial areas.
We are owners of industrial buildings at 1870
McLean Avenue and 2810 Huntington Place and would like to
inform you of our objections to the programme as proposed.
1. We have no objection to the idea of the 3 R's
reduce, re-use and recycle. Tenants of our buildings
already utilize private recycling firms to collect their reusable materials and they receive monetary compensation for
their efforts. For our tenants to become involved in a
forced municipal programme would not be beneficial to them
and would only be an unnecessary additional rental expense.
The types of materials collected in a standard recycling
programme do not accumulate in industrial operations to any
degree (newspapers, tin cans, milk jugs, etc.).
2. The programme as proposed (curbside) would require our tenants to carry their boxes to the front of the
building, a distance for our furthest tenlants of as much as
350 feet. We can be almost certain that they will not make
use of this service unless the truck is able to pick up from
each individual tenant. Also, will we receive only bne box
for the entire site or will each unit be supplied with a box7
Surely you can understand that a central depot for the building would be unmanageable in an industrial building.

Proposed Recycling Transfer Station Location

BACKGROUND

requested, a search for locations for the proposed recycling transfer
station was undertaken. Four sites were selected and evaluated
on a cost
basis. Other parameters such as nearness to residences and accessability
for
recycling traffic were also considered in the evaluation.
As

2.0 TRANSFER STATION LOCATIONS
Pour locations — Broadway and Cameron, Welcher Dump, Lions Park and Trenton
were investi ated for suitability as recycling transfer station locations. The

site plans of the proposed locations are attached.

2~ 1

BROADWAY AND CAMERON

This site is located on the future Fire Hall property in the industrial area
off of Broadway and Cameron. The site would be a temporary location to be
moved once the new Fire hall is built. There is a possibility that it could be
re-located to an adjacent property to the south, if the property is procured
for a new Works Yard.

I Ikiii!Ve

The site is poorly drained and filled with unstable materials. Site upgrade
would consist of building a road into the site and bringing up the level of the

property to permit proper drainage.

draw-back to using this site is the proximity of the residences which are
situated along the north side of Cameron. Visual and noise disturbances
from
the transfer station activities may adversely affect these householders.
