Dear Mr. Neden

PROPOSED CHLORAMINATION OF MUNICIPAL DRINKING WATER

Re:

EARP REVIEW

The purpose of this letter is to inform you that the Department of Fisheries and Oceans
(DFO) is initiating a review under the Environmental Assessment Review Process (EARP)
as outlined in the 1984 Environmental Assessment and Review Process Guidelines Order
(attached). Originally, the EARP was intended to be applied for federal projects. However,
as a result of several fairly recent court decisions, our department must now review all
projects which have a potential impact on the fisheries resource. The principle legislative
tool for this is the Fisheries Acf. Section 36 of this act prohibits the release of a
deleterious substance. On at least two recent occasions in Surrey, fish kills have resulted
from the discharge of chloraminated drinking water. A lower court has established that
chloraminated drinidng water is a deleterious substance.

Ig

In addition to section 36 of the Fisheries Act, section 37 of this act empowers our
department to request "plans and specifications'or any project that may have an impact
on fisheries resources. This section allows our department to initiate project reviews. In
this case, both of these sections make DFO the 'lead initiating agency'ith respect to
the EARP guidelines order. Accordingly, this lette. serves as our request for "plans and
specifications" relating to the GVWD Drinking Water Improvement Plan. The submission
being requested will serve as the "Initial Environmental Evaluat!on" (IEE).

II ILL~

IM

To my knowledge, this is the first time such a project has undergone a review of this sort,
We hope to be able to work cooperatively with your agency to carry out an efficient
review of this project. have attached a list of required information that should be
addressed in your IEE. We would appreciate the opportunity to review the draft table of
contents for this IEE so that we may comment on this prior to initiating the work. This

Thc forest cover in thc watcrshcds is considered to be genera)ly menue or
over-mature amber, that ts, timber more sub)cct to natural decone from
Inscctatraclt, discase and fir than younger forests. The
ongoing
program is aimed at developing a more diverse, inulti-aged forestcover that
is healthier and morc resistant to this natural aging proccsL Tvro-thirds of
the land base is currently in reserve, however timber from the remaining oncdurd of thc wa ters beds is being harvested on a sustained yield basis. To date,
approximatciy onc-half of tnc harvmiag has been conducted to salvage
damaged ordiscascd timber, Revenue realized from the harvests is being reiavcsted In thc watershed for impmved road access, protection of unstable
areas, and silvicultural activities, including reforestation and stand
management.

Natura! processes — including forest succession, erosion, and.
— as well as catastrophic events such as &e have combined to
shape the watcrshcds'andscapes. Although the G"v WD scoured control of
activities in thc watcrshcds in the 1920s, it did t)ot begin active management
of the forests until the early 1960s, In fact, thc current forest management
program is the direct result of several related dcve)opmcats at that tune,

SUMMARY

The Panel found that thc G VWD's program in regard m control and security
of thc 'watcxshcds is excellent — ouc of the best in North America — and
should be continued. Concennng access development, the Panel also found
that the long tenn bcuefits afforded by road access to remote areas wlddn tbe
wstersbcds fsr outweigh the short term drawback of poteuuat increased
erosion. Watershed roads are required by the Amending Indenuxre and
provide s major benefit by improving fixe fighting capability,

to date, this decision-making process could possiMy

~ Changes in the methods of funding the Watershed Management
Program are needed so that watershed progratns are not solely
dependent on rcvcnue from timber hrvesting. This total dependency
potentially weighs a risk to water quaHty against budgetary
considelarions and is not coruistcnt with thc spirit of the water
supply objccdve. In addition, necessary road maintenance or erosion
conuol projects, which aced to occur in any event, cotdd go
unfunded because of a lower level of timber harvest or a downmln

The Panel found that long-term vegetation mana'gcment planning
is not sldficicntly developed and that GVWD docs not have
enough infotmadon to Pmvidc a basis for hng term forest stability

while long range pl&la should consider'cvcfal decades at a
minbnum and plrfcrably 200 years for 'suan forests.

The Panel found that thc GVWD's day-today forces
arc generally well managed, with sudf employing appropriate techniques for the harvesdng and reforestation of timber. The
panel supported tbc GVWD's use of a unique tndmc — the Aqua-Tena
Classification System (ATCS) — to identify unstable slopes 'so that
timber harvest aud road buikfiug opcrafioas can be confincd to stable .

Field smdies, especiMy tbc comprehensive ccologica1 invcnttny, should
begin immediately because they wBI Eorm thc basis for long term studies. It
is also advisable to initiate contact with the Ministry of Forests on issues
related to tbe Amending Indenture and administradon, since modifications

Attention:

Mr. Brian Kirk

Citv Administrator

Dear Brian;

Further to our phone conversation, this is to advise
that the Province will be dumping industrial fill on George
Treit Lands located off Dominion Avenue.
Approximately 40,000 tonnes of material are being
transported to the site of which 5,000 to 7,000 tonnes will
be bio-remediated. Testing will be done on the soils subject
to bio-remediation and a certificate issued by the Ministry
of Environment stating that the material is acceptable for
industrial or commercial use. Please note there is no
special waste contained in the soils.
The Province is preparing a press release for the media
and your office will receive a copy prior to its release.
Thank you for keeping council informed on this matter
and if you have any further questions please do not hesitate
to call.
Yours truly,
I

A comprehensive study of the alto by Klohn Leon
consultant werklng In conjunctlan with the Min
determined tha! one of the waste plies contained soil materials that
ranged from Level A to above Level C, and that there were no special

wastes on the site.
Apprcxlmateiy 78 por cent of the 100,000 cubic metre pile was concluded
te be free af acntamlnants, Materials measuring between I.svsl I8 ta C are
estimated «t 10 ~ 15,000 cubic metre», and materials measuring abave
Level C are estimated at between 5 ~ 10,000 cubic metros.
Uncontaminated materials will remain on the Westwead site,
"8lefare the end ef May wo will begin moving, by truck, approximately
88,000 cubic metros of contaminated sells fram the Vlestwaad site to a
vacant 18.5 hectare site located In an Industrial reserve at the
intersection of Dominion Avenue and Qttawa Street In Port Caqultlam,"

sold Parker.

Ths movement of materials will take approximately three weeks.
Contaminated material wilt be spread over a small controlled anct secure
area of the receiving sits, and will undergo bio.remedlatlon, an enhanced
natural process, that will over a shirt time bring the material within
acceptable levels for industrial and commercial development.
The Port Coquittam site ls part of a larger 110-hectare site that has been
sst aside by the District af Port Coqultlam tn Its Qfflelal Community Plan
as an industrial reserve. The laoatlon af this material on the Port
Coqultlam site poses no threat te surrounding residents or aotlvitios, Ths
remodlatlon site will bs secured at all times and accessible eniy te
individuals balned In the hanctllng of contaminated materials. The
principal contaminant identified In the studies ars Polyoyallo Aromatic
Hydrocarbons (PAHs), with ths principal elements being coal tar products
and napthalone. These oentamlnants are common In Industrial site waste
and nano have boon detected In concentrations that would represent any

INFORMATION REQUIREMENTS

FOR GVRD DRINKING WATER QUALITY IMPROVEMENT PLAN

The proponent should prepare an IEE containing the following information:

A description of the intended project.

The potential environmental impact of this project, particularly as it relates
to the fisheries resource. This should consider not only acutely lethal but

also sublethal impacts of this project on any life stage of fish and their food
organisms.
Any mitigation measures that could realisticaliy be used to mitigate the

adverse impacts of this project.
A description of the water distribution system. This should include not only

GVRD distribution pipes but also any water mains belonging to member

municipalities. This description should consider the age of the pipes and the

material from which they are constructed.
A description of the problem and what means, other than chloramine, can

be used to pro!ect public health.
Any additional information which is pertinent to this project.

Copies of this IEE should be made available to the public for their viewing. In order to
facilitate this, a copy of the IEE should be deposited in all public libraries within the areas

receiving GVRD water.

Attention: Mayor Leonard M. Traboulay
Dear Mayor Traboulay
Timber Harvesting on the Greater Vancouver
Water Districts Lands.
I am writing this letter to express my opinion on t: he fact
that timber is being harvested from lands that supply water to
the Greater Vancouver Regional District. Lately there has been
a large amount of negative media coverage of this timber
harvesting. Some preservationist groups, especially the Western
:anada Wilderness Committee, are advocating a halt to the timber

harvesting.

for this.

I do not. believe that there is any justification

I have been fortunate enough to have, twice, toured the
Seymour Watershed to see the forest harvesting and road
construction practices first hand. On both trips I have been
very favourably impressed with what I saw.
As a Registered Professional Forester who, over the past 15
years, has worked for a number of forest companies throughout
B.C. I think I can safely say that I have seen the entire
spectrum of forestry practices, from good to bad. The
practices in Seymour Watershed are exemplary. The forest
management practices are, in my opinion, carried out with a clear
understanding that the first and foremost goal of these la.ids is
producing high quality drinking water.
The crux of the argument is whether harvesting is impairing
or improving the quality of the drinking water produced. A
panel of independent consultants in the draft Watershed
Management Evaluation and Policy Review report produced in 1988
concluded the harvesting practices have not had a major impact on
water quality and furthermore, a pro-activity level of management
will provide the lowest overall risk to water quality,

It is my opinion, that the call to stop timber harvesting on
these lands is coming from a few special interest groups who are
attempting to further their own political agendas.
After all the controversy about this timber harvesting and
its effects
on the water quality, I was very interested to see,
printed on the front page of the Province newspaper, that
Vancouver had won a contest for having high quality drinking
water.
I was amused when I read the Western Canadian Wilderness
Committees attempts o downplay this.
I hope you will support the continuation of the sound
forest management practices that are being carried out by the

Dear: Mayor Traboulay
RE:

Watershed Management Program for the G.V.W.D.

In November 1989, I attended a "Integrated Resource Planning"
seminar and was given the opportunity to witness the forest
management practices employed in the Seymour Watershed.
Ron Van Ord (of the G.V.R.D.), presented an overview of road
construction methods and restrictions utilized within the
watershed.
These construction techniques (including drainage
structure " design, construction and location) are " environmentally
speaking the safest, and most up to date in the forest industry.
As you may be aware, road construction is restricted to the dry
weather periods. As well, the contingency plan for possible oil or
fuel spills or any adverse environmental incident is well prepared
and diligently employed.

Forest harvest planning recognizes that only a relatively small
area of operable timber will be harvested over an extended rotation
length of the stand. Furthermore, cutblock opening size is
generally small, and the clearcuts are well distributed through the
watershed. The forest harvesting practices utilize a number of
different yarding systems best designed to minimize soil and site
disturbance.
Immediate reforestation follows forest harvesting.
The second
growth stands are well established, healthy and are rapidly
Forest harvest!.ng and
approaching
hydrologic aturity.
regeneration have produced a mosaic of age classes and forest cover
types within the watershed. There are a number of silvicultural
advantages of a more diverse, multi-aged forest stand.
The
resultant forest will be more resistant to major insect
infestations, forest fires or simply, the effects of natural
decline within an over mature forest stand.
—

importantly, the primary objective of forest management
practices in the Greater Vancouver watershed
is to maintain the
highest level of water quality possible. 1 believe this
objective
has been, and will continue to be achieved through diligent and
careful road construction methods, proper forest, planning and
harvesting practices and most importantly through ecologically
sound reforestation practices and tending of the second growth
stands.
The G.V.W.D, Watershed Management Program has demonstrated a fine
performance record and I ask for your support in maintaining the
high level of water quality for the residents of Vancouver.

If the site of origin has been investigated for contamination, there
would be little uncertainty as to what type of contaminants could
potentially be present in the excavated material. It would then be
reasonable to test the material to be deposited for only a few

relevant parameters. However if no investigation or historical
review of the site have been performed, then tnere is potential for
a variety of contaminants to be present.
The B.C. Standards
specifies remed'tion criteria for over 70 difterent contam'ants
and if one desires a 100% assurance that compliance with all
criteria has been met, then, each of the contsminants would have to
be tested for. As you may appreciate, sampling costs could become
quite extensive and I would question whether such an approach would
be considered reasonable.
At this stage, the Ministry would prefer not to provide any
suggestions on preferred wording for the proposed bylaw. However,
we would be pleased to provide comments and advice on the draft
version of the bylaw.
I hope this information will be of some use to the Corporation.

Introduction

This document presents Ministry of Environment criteria for contaminated site:- in British
Columbia. These criteria are intended to bs used to develop site-specific objectives for
conlaminants in soil, water, sediments, and air, where chemical contaminants from spills and
industrial discharges have caused contamination and pose risks to human health and the

environment.

After a careful review of criteria for contaminated sites, presented in the Ministry's
background paper entitled Developing Criteria and Objectives for Managing Contaminated Sites
in British Columbia", the Ministry has chosen the most comprehensive criteria currently
available in Canada. The standards apply mainly to contaminated soils and groundwater, and were
derived from criteria from the Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment, the Province
ol Quebec, the Ontario Ministry of the Environment, Canadian guidelines for drinking water
quality, and the province's Special Waste Regulation and pollution Control Objectives under the
Waste Management Act. The Ministry has also consulted with public health and environmental

experts in establishing these criteria.

To a large extent, they are based on an evolving body of knowledge relating to chemistry,
toxicology, and other environmentally-related disciplines. They will be reviewed on a regular

basis, and will be adjusted as new human health and environmental information becomes
available.
2.0

Criteria for Contaminants

2,1

Definitions

In order to protect human health and the environment from substances at contaminated sites,
benchmarks are needed so regulatory agencies can assess the extent of the contaminant
associated risks and the adequacy of any remedial measures that are proposed and carried oui.
These benchmarks can take a number of forms, including criteria, objectives, and standards.
While the purpose of this paper is to describe provincial criteria for contaminated sites, it is
also important that all these terms and their application be made clear. The following
definitions are used in this paper:

Criteria: The concentrations of chemicals in soil, water, biota, sediment, or air,
applicable province-wide, which must not be exceeded to prevent specified detrimental
effects from occurring, under specified environmental conditions. Criteria may also be
formulated in terms of levels of risk which should not be exceeded.

Objectives: Criteria adopted to protect the most sensitive use of soil, water, biota,
sediment or air at a specific site, with an adequate degree of safety, taking local
circumstances into account. Objectives may also be formulated in terms of levels of risk.

Standards: Objectives adopted in legal form, such as in a regulation, statute, contract or
other legally binding document.
The main difference between criteria and objectives is that the latter are site-specific, and taVe
into account local conditions. Standards simply put objectives In a legally enforceable form.

The criteria in this document may be used in several different ways: as investigation
criteria, as remediation criteria, as de minimus criteria and as risk management criteria.
The following explains these four terms:

investigation criteria: contaminant concentrations which when exceeded require detailed
investigation to assess the extent of contamination and nature of any hazards at a site.

remediation criteria: contaminant concentrations which when exceeded require action to
reduce the exposure of humans or other receptors to contaminants.

de minimus criteria: contaminant concentrations which when not exceeded do not require
action to reduce exposure Io contaminants.
risk management criteria: levels of risk set to protect the public from unacceptable

health impacts.

While investigation criteria relate solely to site characterization, remediation criteria, relate
to the need for site remediation, which could take the form of site cleanup, contaminant
containment, change in land use or other form of mitigation. After a site cleanup, remediation
criteria can also be useo I.o verify that the residual contaminant levels are acceptable. The de
minimus criteria are used in the situation where remediation criteria cannot be quickly
developed because major site-specific issues such as environmental loadings and impacts of offs!te contaminants need to be determined. Risk management criteria to date, have been developed
for the protection of human health, but not for environmental protection. Figure 1 shows
conceptually how these criteria are applied in the management of contaminated sites.

2.2

(

Information Requirements

In determining objectives for contamination at a specific site, the types and levels of
contamina. ts, the particular environmental media that are contaminated and the intended land
use must be known. Ministry of Environment staff should be consuited about provincial
requirements for site characterization at the outset of any site investigation, and should be
provided information about current and intended land use.

2.3

Types and Application of Criteria

The Ministry has developed two types of criteria and corresponding approaches for managing
contaminated sites in British Columbia. The first approach involves numerical contaminant
concentration criteria which can be used to determine when detailed investigation, and/or site
remediation is needed, and when site remediation is properly completed. The second approach
involves site specific risk assessment followed by riisk management, where potential human
health risks posed by coniaminants are derived and are compared to levels of risk that are
considered publically acceptable.
The contaminant concentration approach is applicable in situations where contaminants can be
removed to levels less than the applicable concentration criteria, and addresses both human
health and environmental impacts.

(

The risk assessment approach may be used in situations where there are potential human health
impacts, and exposure to contaminants is reduced to acceptable levels by either containment or
contaminant removal. In contrast to the contaminant concentration approach, it can be applied
where all contaminants cannot be removed due, for example, to physical or firiancial
constraints. In its present form, risk assessment has been sufficiently developed so that it can
only be used to address public health issues associated with contaminated sites. Thus, if risk
assesment is used to manage a contaminated site, the contaminant concentration approach is
required to address potential environmental effects.

PCB soil contamination represents an exception to this general approach. It is Ministry polioy
that containment of pCBs exceeding provincial criteria will not be ailowed, and lhat contaminant
removal will be required. The contaminant concentration approach must be used for these

contaminants.
Finally, in setting contaminant concentration objectives for contaminated sites a number of site
specific factors should be taken into account. These include proximity of soil contaminants to
the water table, the depth of soil contamination, degree of iand use, and impact on the

environment in general.
2.4

Criteria for Soils

2.4.1

Contaminant Concentration Approach

Investioation and Remediation Criteria
Table 1 contains three soil levels, A, B and C, which are used as investigation and remediation
criteria as explained below:
Level A:

This level represents approximate achievable analytical detection limits for organic
compounds in soil, and natural background levels of metals and inoiganics. For soils
with constituents at or less than this level, the soils are considered uncontaminated.
For residential, recreational and agricultural land use level A is the investigation

criterion.
For soils ctintaining contaminants at concentrations greater than level A, but less
than tevel B, the soi! is considered slightly contaminated. but remediation is not

required.
Level B:

This level is an intermediate value, approximateiy 5 to 10 times above level A. For
residential, recreational and agricultural land use this level is the remediation
criterion, while for exclusive commercial or industrial land use it is the

investigation criterion.
For soils containing conlaminants with concentrations exceeding level B, but less
than level C, the soil is considered contaminated, and requires remediation to levels
less than level B, if the land is used for residential, recreational or agricultural
purposes. Remediation will not be required if the land is used exclusively for
commercial or industrial activities.
Level C:

For exclusive commercial or
industrial land use, level C is the remediation criterion. For soils containing
contaminants exceeding this level, all uses of the land will be restricted pending the
application of appropriate remedial measures.
At this level, contamination of soil is significant.

Restoration of PCB Contamination
In the case of soils contaminated with PCBs, the contamination will always be remedied by

cleanup to concentrations less than level B or level C in Table 1, as is required for the land use
identified.

2.4,2

Risk Assessment and Risk Management Approach

Where the risk assessment and risk management approach is chosen, exposures to contaminants
on a site must be reduced so that the maximum acceptable additional lifetime cancer risk
to
residents for carcinogenic contaminants will not exceed seven in one million and one in one
million should be sought. The seven in one million lifetime cancer risk criterion is the same
as
that used by Health and Welfare Canada to protect the public from any unacceptable risk related
to the intake of radionuclides in drinking water. The one in one million risk criterion is
commonly regarded as a de minimus" risk level, below which agencies normally do not take
regulatory action to control the risks. For noncarcinogenic substances, exposures must be
reduced so that the predicted chronic daily intake of contaminants under residential land use,
will be less than the chronic acceptable daily intake established by the Ministry.

Criteria for Groundwater

2.5

Hazardous substances may be present in ground and surface waters at contaminated sites. It is
important that these water resources be protected especially when they are used for public
water supply, aquatic and wildlife habitat, livestock watering, irrigation, and recreation.
Investigation and de minimus criteria for water-based contaminants are shown in Table 1 and
are explained below:
Level A:

Level A represents the approximate achievable analytical detection limits or natural
background levels of metals and inorganic and organic compounds, For water with
constituents at or less than this concentration, the water is considered
uncontaminated. Level A for water is the investigation criterion.
For water containing contaminants at concentrations greater than level A, but less
than level BDVV or Bpe, the water is considered slightly contaminated, and detailed
investigation is necessary, but remediation is not required.

Level Bpw: If the water is intended for human consumption, then the criteria for level Bpvv are
to be used as remediation criteria. For water containing constitutents with
concentrations less than level BDW no remediation wiil be required, if the water is
used solely as drinking water.
For water containing contaminants with concentrations exceeding level Bpw,
remediation will be required if the water is intended for human consumption.
Level Bps. Level Bps is the de minimus cdteiion for water-based discharges to protect aquatic
life. For discharges containing constituents with concentrations less than level
Bpa,
no remediation will be required if the receiving water is solely habitat for aquatic
life. Contaminant concentrations exceeding level B05 require further work to assess
the relative impact of these substances and to determine appropriate action.

1 BR% asf ) [
I

When a criterion for a non-carcinogenic substance is not contained in Table 1, then the 96 hour
LC50 concentration for the most sensitive salmonid species will be used as the criteria. An
additional safety factor will be applied for persistent andror bioaccumulative substances, as
determined by the Ministry.

Criteria for Air

Volatile chemical compounds may contaminate soils and groundwater, evaporate, and pose a
health risk through air exposure. Air criteria may be formulated in levels corresponding to
various human health risks, or in terms of acceptable ambient air concentrations of chemicals.
The risk assessment criteria are those provided in section 2.4.2, while criteria for contaminant
concentrations in air will be provided by the Ministry on a chemical by chemical basis.

2.7

Background Levels of Contaminants

In the event that British Columbia background levels of contaminants found at a site exceed the
criteria described in sections 2.4 to 2.6, the criteria will be set at background concentrations
when contaminant concentrations are used as criteria. When risk management criteria are
used, risk levels from background concentrations will be used. Contaminated media shall not be
used as a reference for background levels.

3.0

Special Waste Criteria

Where special waste contaminants from a site are handled or treated on that site, the Special
Waste Regulations under the Provincial Waste Management Act will apply to the facilities in
which the waste is managed.
4.0

(

Development of Criteria Not Described Previously

Table 1 contains criteiia for over 100 potential soil and water contaminants. While these may
be expected to be sufficient to address contamination at most sites, it is possible that other
contaminants are discovered for which criiteria will have to be developed. The paper
"Developing Criteria and Objectives for Contaminated Sites in British Columbia" describes how
this will be done if it becomes necessary.
6.0

Choice of Hazard indicator Compounds

The hazard indicator compounds used for a contaminated site will be those for which numerical
criteria appear in Table 1. Where other hazard indicator compounds are required, they will be
established by the Ministry.

Introducllon

This document presents Ministry of Environment standards and policies that have been
established to manage contamination at the Pacific Place sile. They are based on, and are a
subset of criteria for contaminated sites described in the document "Criteria tor Managing
Contaminated Sites in British Columbia".
After 4 careful review of standards for contaminated sites, the Ministry has chosen those that
are the mosl comprehensive now available In Canada. The standards apply mainly to
contaminated soils and groundwater, and were derived from criteria from the Canadian Council
of Resource and Environment Ministers, the Province of Quebec, the Ontario Ministry of the
Environment, Canadian guidelines for drinking water quality, and the Province's Special Waste
Regulation and pollution Control Objectives under the Waste Management Act. The Ministry has
also consulted with public health and environmental experts In establishing these standards.
While these slandards are intended to prevail throughout Ihs remediation period for the Pacific
place site, they may be adjusted as new human health and environmental information becomes

available.
2.0

Standards for Conlamlnants

2.1

Information Requirements

In determining standards for addressing contamination at a specific site. the types and levels of
conlaminanls, the particular environmental media thai are contaminated and the intended land
use must be known. At the Pacific Place site, a thorough investigation of the types and
concentrations of contaminants has been completed, and the media impacted, the exposure
pathways, and the polential receptors have been identified. The property is intended for mixed
residential, commercial, park, and recreational use.

2.2

Types and Application of Standards

The Ministry has developed two types of standards for managing contaminated sites in British
Columbia. The first type involves numerical contaminant concentration standards which can be
used to determine when detailed investigation, and/or site remediation is needed, and when sile
remedialion is properly completed. The second type Involves site specific risk assessment and
risk management, where potential human health risks posed by contarninants are derived and
are compared to numericai standards corresponding to levels of risk that are considered
publicly acceptable.

Rh

The contaminant concentration approach Is applicabfe to situations where contaminants can be
removed to levels less than the applicable numerical remediation standards, and It addresses
boIh human health and environmenlal Impacts.

,=.IilR

lUII

The risk assessmenl approach may be used in situations where there are potential human health
impacts, and exposure Io contaminants Is reduced to acceptable levels by either containment or
contaminant removal. In contrast to Ihe contaminant concentration approach, It can be applied
where all contaminanls cannot be removed due. for example, to physical or Snancial
constraints. In its present form, risk assessmenl has been sufficiently developed so that Il can
only be used to address public health issues associated with contaminated siles. Thus, if risk
assessmenl is used lo manage 4 oontamlnated site, the contaminant concentration approach is
also requIred to address potential environmental effects.

Stenderds for Soils

2.3.1

Contaminant Concentration Approach

Table 1 contains a list of numerical tnvestigation and remediation standards for contaminants
that may be contained in soils on this site. Investigation standards are contaminant
concentrations which when exceeded require detailed investigation to assess the exlent of
contamination and nature of any hazards. Remediation standards are contaminant concentrations
which when exceeded require action to reduce exposure of humans or other receptors to
contaminants. This action could include cleanup, containment, creation of barriers, change In
land use, or other form of mitigation.
Investication anri Remediation Btendards

Table 1 contains three soil levels, A, 8 and C, which are used as investigation and remediation
standards as explained below:
Level A:

This level represents approximate achievable analytical detection limits for organic
compounds in soil, and natural background levels of metals and inorganics. For soils
with constituents at or less than this level, the soils are considered uncontaminated.
For residential land use level A is the investigation standard.

For soils containing contaminants at concentrations greater than level A, but less
than level 8, the soil is considered slightly contaminated, but remediation is not
required.
Level 8:

For soils containing contaminants with concentrations exceeding level 8, but less
than level C, the soil is considered contaminated, and requires remediation Io levels
less than level 8, If Ihe land Is used ior residential or recreational purposes.
Remediation will not be required if the land is used exclusively for commercial or
industrial activities.

'll M
Level C:

At this level, contamination of soil is signigcanl. For exclusive commercial or
Industrial land use, level C Is the remediatton standard. For soils containing
contamlnants exceeding this level, all uses of the land will be restricted pending the
apptication of appropriate remedial measures, which will reduce contaminant
concentrations to levels less than level C.

In the case of soils contaminated with PCBs, the contamination will ahvays be remedied by
cleanup to concentrations less than level 8 or level C in Table 1, as Is required for the iand use

This level is an intermediate value. approximately 5 to 10 times above level A. For

Risk Assessment and Risk Management Approach

2.3.2

Where 1he risk assessment and risk management approach is chosen, exposures to contaminants
on the sile must be reduced so thai the maximum acceptable additional lifetime cancer risk to
residents for carcinogenic contaminants will not exceed seven in one million and one in one
million should be sought. The seven In one million lifetime cancer risk is the same as that used
by Health and Welfare Canada to protect the public from any unacceplable risk related to the
intake of radioactive, contaminated drinking water. The one In one million risk level is
commonly regarded as a de minimus risk level, below which agencies normally do not take
regulatory action to control the risks. For noncarclnogenic substances, exposures must be
reduced so that the predicted chronic daily Intake of contaminants under residential land use,
will be less than the chronic acceptable daily intake established by 1he Ministry.
2A

81sndsrds for Groundwater

Contaminants in groundwater at the Pacific Place site can Impact on humans or the environment.
Since the groundwater will not be used for human consumption, the protection of False Creek
aquatic resources fs a priority. Under Ministry policy, discharges to receiving waters which
are acutely toxic are not allowed, and this policy will apply to groundwater at the Pacific Place

site.

Investigation and de minimus standards for groundwater contaminants are also shown in Table 1
and are explained below:
Level A:

Level A represents the approximate achievable analytical detection limits or natural
background levefs of metals and Inorganic and organic compounds. For water with
constituents at or less than this concentration, the water is considered
uncontaminated. Level A for water is the investigation standard.

For water containing contaminants at concentrations greater than level A, but iess
than level B, the water Is considered slightly contaminated, and detailed investigation
is necessary, but remediation is not required.
Level B:

l.evel B is the de minimus standard for water. For water containing constituents
with concentrations less than level B. no remediation will be required. Contaminant
concenlrations exceeding level B require further work to assess the relative impact
of these substances and to determine appropriate action.

When a standard for a nonmrclnogenic substance is not contained In Table 1, then the 96 hour
LC50 concentration for the most sensitive salmonid species will be used as 1he standard, with an
additional safety factor of 5 applied for persistent andror bioaccumulative substances.

Pff alai

2.5

lt is not anticipated that air quality standards will be needed for contaminants at the Pacific
Place site. The paper Criteria for Managing Contaminated Sites in British Columbia"
describes how air standards will be established, if It becomes necessary.

raised with respec t to what threshold quantity should be established below
which a permit would not be required, what were reasonable permit fees and
royalties, and what were other municipalities doing in this regard.

Most of the municipalities contacted did not require permits where soil
removal or deposit was covered under a building permit. The City of Vancouver
requires the applicant to get approval from the PIinistry of Environment for
sites suspected to be contaminated. Richmond prohibits deposit of wood waste
aad requires that the applicant have a permit under the Waste Management Act

SAVR-GEORGM STRAIT ALI XAKCE

or, 479'4th-Stteet, Courtenay, B.C. VQN 169

July 3, 1990

Dear

/4n 7I ~
.

~o,.p

/

We are writing to you to ask for your help and support with a project that we
hope will stop any further degradation of the Strait of Georgia environment.

The Save Ceorgia Strait Alliance is a newly-formed coalition determined to halt
further pollution of Georgia Strait and begin its clean-up. We believe that the
situation is urgent, and that immediate, united action is essential in order to
stop the devastation.
We came together earlier this year because of our recognition that the Strait of
Georgia is dying. For decades we have used the Strait as a catch basin for
millions of gallons of municipal sewage and pollutants, pulp mill effluent. industrial wastes, chemicals, ofl snd other toxins. Shell fisheries are closed up
and down the coast. lesions and tumours are appearing in our flsh, and spring
salmon and lingcod stocks are in danger of extinction. We continue to pour
tons of organo-chlorines into the Strait daily and repeatedly court the possibility of a major spill from an oil tanker or radioactive contamination from a U.S.
Navy nuclear vessel. As an inland sea with little tidal flushing action, Georgia
Strait's ecosystem may soon be pushed beyond its limits by this ever-increasing toxic onslaught. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be enough political will or industrial response to stop the destruction of the Strait.

The Alliance is organizing a Save the Strait Marathon and Faire on August 2526 and a State of the Strait Conference on February 23 - 24, 1991. The Marathon is a swim, paddle, or surf from Nanaimo to Sechelt with an eco-fah on the
Sechelt Indian Band land. Through the participation of hundreds of people in
the marathon, we hope to raise awareness of the environmental issues as well
as raise money through pledges for the participating environmental organizations, the Alliance, and the Conference.
We hope that you will agree with us that we have an individual and collective
responsibility to our children and future generations to stop the destruction,
clean up the mess we have made, and begin the healing process.

registration gorm
The Marathon course is between Nanaimo and Sechelt, a distance of 16.1 mi/25.8 km. The starting point is
Pipers Lagoon, just north of Nanaimo and the end poim is the Sechelt Indian Band beach, right in Sechelt. The
serious participants will want to catch the flood tide early in the morning.
The Marathon is meant tc be a participatory event. Some of you may want to break the swim record set by
Mike Powley in 1967 or set a kayak, canoe, ssi! board record. Some may want to make the crossing from one
side to the other, while others may want to get a team together to share the work. If you cannot go the whole
way and want to be part of a relay team, let us know and we tnay be able to line you up.
We will be providing escort boats of varying sizes on a ratio of 5 kayaks to one escort. There will be a system
for emergency response as weli as first aid and medical aid. Swimtters should line up their own personal
escort, preferably a row boat. The Strait can get pretty toug, so be prepared.

Standards Por Landfiliing of Contaminated Soils

The Environmental Protection Committee of Council is in the process
of draf ting a bylaw to regulate the deposit of soil on properties within the
City, and would like to incorporate a provision to require the applicant to
provide some proof that the soil being deposited meets the quality regulations
established by the Pacific Place Standards or other standards as your Ministry

might require, be met.

Would you please provide us with infomuation on what standards are
applicable to dif f erect land use designations (eg. Level A, B, 0& etc. ) and
what parameters would have to be analysed to ensure that these standards are
being adhered to. Also, if you have any suggestions as to how we might best
word our Bylaw to adequately address this issue we would be appreciative.

Thank you for your assistance in this matter.

TO:

D.G. Riecken
Deputy City Engineer

SUBJECT:

Soil Deposit Bylaw

July 31, 1990

DATE:

the draft bylaw was last reviewed by the Committee there were questions
raised with respect to what threshold quantity should be established below
which a permit would not be required, what were zeasonable permit fees and
zoyalties, and what were other municipalities doing in this regazd.
When

Engineering have contacted several municipalities in the Gzeater Vancouvez
area to determine how soil deposits are regulated. The following table
summarizes the results of this enquiry.

Most of the municipalities contacted did not require permits where soil
removal or deposit wss covered under a building permit. The City of Vancouver
requires the applicant to get approval from the Ministry of Environment for
sites suspected to be contaminated. Richmond prohibits deposit of wood waste
and requires that the applicant have a permit under the Waste Management Act
for placement of construction debris including contaminated soil.

In reviewing the above information

in line with that charged by others, that the royalty may be higher for

smaller operations but with a $ 10,000 limit could be less for bigger
operations, and that our security deposit would be higher than most for
anything other than fai.rly small filling operations.
I would suggest that the royalty be reduced to $ 0.50 per cubic metre with no
ceiling, snd that the security deposit be reduced to $1,000 plus $10,000 per
hectare to a maximurs of $ 50,000. In order to mimimize the number of permits
which we will have to process we should give some thought to exempting
properties of, say, 0.5 Eectares or less, and setting a minimum threshold
quantity of, say, 100 cubic metres, below which no permits would be required.
The draft of the bylaw would have to be revised to reflect these changes.
be best if the Committee were to agree on what changes
should be made, and a revised draft prepared for review 'by the Committee prior
to submission to Council for approval.

ection 930. 1(4)(a) of the Municical Acj; authorizes a soil
eposit permit system, but does not authorize the xefusal of
permit for matters not regulated by the soil deposit bylaw.
Council is not permitted, to redelegate to itself the power
o make arbitrary decisions on matters which are to be
egulated by bylaw. In that regard, some of the provisions
f Section 17 axe so broad as to be virtually meaningless and
he result is that, the validity of a council decision to
efuss a permit could not be tested for compliance with the
ylaw, Notably, paragraphs (d) through (j), (r) and (s) are
ithin that category and are likely invalid.
n section 18, the phrase "or h1s appointee" should be deleted
and, the phrase "and City employees acting under the direction
of the City Engineer" substituted.
13. There is no express authoxity for the tak1ng of "corrective
measuxes" and the recovery of costs from the permit holders
such measures might be

In addition to the foregoing comments and recommendations, there
are a number of provisions we recommend for inclusion in a soil

we enclose a revised vexsion of the proposed bylaw, reflecting oux
comments in this letter and our further recommendations for
inclusions.

J&y 3. 199D

p,

We are writing to you to ask for your help and support with a project that we
hope wfll stop any further degradation of the Strait of Georgia environment.

The Save Georgia Strait Alliance is a newly-formed coalition determined to halt
further pollution of Georgia Strait and begin its clean-up. We believe that the
sit~ation is urgent, and that immediate, united action is essential in order to
stop the devastation.
We came together earlier this year because of our recognition that the Strait of
Georgia is dying. For decades we have used the Strait as a catch basin for
mfllfons of gallons of municipal sewage and pollutants, pulp mill effluent, industrial wastes, chemicals, oil and other toxins. Shell fisheries are closed up
and down the coast, lesions and tumours are appearing in our fis, and spring
salmon and lingcod stocks are in danger of extinction. We continue to pour
tons of organo-chlorines into the Strait daily and repeatedly court the possibility of a major spill from an ofl tanker or radioactive contamination from a U.S.
Navy nuclear vessel. As an inland sca with little tidal flushing action, Georgia
Strait's ecosystem may soon be pushed beyond its limits by this ever-increasing toxic onslaught. Unfortunately, there does not appear to be enough political will or industrial response to stop the destruction of the Strait.

The Alliance is organfsfng a Save the Strait Marathon and Faire on August 2526 and a State of the Strait Conference on February 23 - 24. 1991. The Marathon is a swim, paddle, or surf from Nanaimo to Sechelt with an eco-fair on the
Sechelt Indian Band land. Through the participation of hundreds of people in
the marathon, we hope to raise awareness of the environmental issues as well
as raise money through pledges for the participating environmental organizations, the Alliance, and the Conference.

We hope that you will agree with us that we have an individual and collective
responsibility to our chfldren and future generations to stop the destruction,
clean up the mess we have made, and begin the healing process.

We need your help. Your endorsement of the projects would be most helpful.
Please let us know soon so that we can include your indication of suppoxt in
our correspondence and news releases.

Since we are organizing these events without corporate or govenunent funding,
we would appreciate a donation from your organization. We hare asked this of
many other community based groups, including unions, local governments.
service organizations, and members of environmental groups.

We invite you to participate in the marathon. Your councQ may want to Beld a
relay team or one of you may be tnterested in swimming or paddling the whole
way. Or you may be able to help us by providing an escort boat. Enclosed is
more information on the planned events and a registration form.

Should you require any more information please write or phone us.

Soil Regulations
Burnaby reported that there is 42.50 charge for a permit and that there are no

royalties levied on the soil tranported. A permit is not required when a
Building Permit has been taken out. For example there is uo permit required
when a retaining wall is being put up etc. Permits are not required for
neither removal nor deposit this also falls under their Building Permit. They
do not require a Security Deposit but they do require a geotechnical report.
Coquitlam reported that there is 450.00 charge for a permit which is good for
six months from date of permit. There are no royalties levied on the soil
transported. Exemptions under the permit are things that are required to have
building or excavatisg permit like landscaping, pre-loading for parking lots

etc. Permits are required for deposit and removal. No security deposit is
required.

Maple Ridge gave me number of Dewdney Alouette Sevices, (462-8294) . The
person said they deal more with Farm Land but answered my questions anyway.
She said they have a 4200 Application that goes through the Agr5 ultural Land
Commission. They do not charge royalties. The amount under which a permit is

Pitch.in Camnaisn Ebimmnrv

Pitch-in Week was held this year in Port Coquitlam during the week of May 6-12, 1991.
A total of IS groups participated in lhe campaign, seven which were sponsored by the City.
The groups wluch participated included Beavers, Cubs, Junior Forest Wardens, Rotary Club,
elementary schools and secondary schools - approximately 1500 people in total.

Areas which were cleaned up were the main downtown streets, parks, school grounds and
adjacent areas. Most of the PoCo trail was also covered.
v

Overall the campaign went well, although some improvements should be considered for next
year. These include'.

I) Move PITCH-IN to the first week of May. Some groups have difficulty in recruiting
participants because of the May Day celebrations in Pon Coquitlam and the fact that May 12th
(the last dsy of PITCH-IN week) was Mother's Day.

2) Encourage more community groups to participate. The majority of the groups which
participated were schools. More intensive campaigning should be done to get additional
community groups to participate
3) Offer incentives to the groups to participate eg. PITCII-IN pany at the end of the week,
prizes for clcmentary schools with the cleanest school yard.

4) Have the participants drop-in to City hall the week before Pitch-in to pick up bags aud
information, This is more fiexible for the participaots than a one day weekend meeting.

Mr. Lake
1584 Elinor Crescent

Port Coquitlam, BC
Dear Mr. Lake:

RE: Complaint about leaking oil from gwimming Pool
AT: 1579 Western Drive, Port COIIuitlams BC

investigation was carried out with

respect to your complaint about leaking
oil from a swimming pool pump at 1579 Western
Drive, Port CO9uitlam, BC.

An

This problem has now been rectified. The owners of the property have removed
the oil tank and pipes and replaced the system with natural gas. The natural
gas now supplies the pump for the swimming pool and the
home furnace.
However, as the oil from the line has probably been seeping iuto the ground
for years and wh n heavy rains occur it would appear the oil finds its way
into the s ewer sy st em.

believe by the natural gas conversion and the
of the oil system
that this problem should now be corrected. However,removal
there may be still some
oils within the soil that may stall find its way into the sewer system.
The leaking of oil will be monitored by the City in the future.
We

thank you for your concern about
problem to our attention.

It was unfortunate you were unable to attend our tErivifoiimerital: Protection.'of:: May'29; 19911 However, I would still like to provide you with
informatiori concerning itetns raised in your March 26, 1991 letter.

'Corn'Inittee,:meeting

The Port Coquitlam Recycling Program will start September 1, 1991 for all single
family residential houses within the City. It is the intent to have each household provide
recyclable goods in a plastic bag at curbside on the same day as their garbage is put out and a
separate tntck will come by and retrieve the recyclable goods. In the future, as resources,
training, and information become available, it is the City's intent to look at expanding the
Recycling Program into the industrial, commercial, and institutional areas. B "ore this would be
attempted, coordination meetings would be held with all interested parties to gather data and
determine the best approach.
The City will be producing a Recycling Newsletter once or twice a year and I
encourage
would
you to read these as they will provide the most accurate status of the Recycling
Program in Port Coquitlam and the suggested plans for the future.
Yours truly,

C.F. (Ktp) Gaudry, P.
Deputy City Engineer
