message from the BCEIA president
“We are committed to building partnerships,
strengthening the business development and
competitiveness of our membership, and
raising general awareness of the industry.”
John Hibbard
President
British Columbia
Environment Industry
Association
THE BOARD OF the British Columbia Environment Industry Association
(BCEIA) and I would like to thank you
for taking the time to learn more about
our industry and the companies that
work within it. The member companies
of BCEIA provide a wide range of services to support industry, government
and non-government organizations.
The environment industry continues
to thrive in British Columbia, with many
important projects on the horizon requiring significant environmental planning and protection. It is the corporate
and individual members of the BCEIA
that are providing the knowledgebased and boots-on-the-ground-based
services to respond to project needs. It
is often our members that are working
on the early and final stages of industrial projects within British Columbia and
in other jurisdictions around the world.
This edition of the British Columbia
Environment Industry Guide is your
doorway to an industry sector full of
opportunity. Several topics being presented at the upcoming Bettering Environmental Stewardship & Technology (BEST) Conference are included
as articles, as is information on our
members and other initiatives the organization is involved in. We hope the
stories give you a flavour of the exciting projects our members are engaging in and potentially inspire you to
get involved in the industry or attend
upcoming events the organization is
engaging itself with.
In May 2016, the BCEIA is excited
to be presenting the third annual BEST
Conference in Whistler, B.C. Returning
themes for this year’s conference include remediation case studies, brownfield redevelopment, environmental
legal reviews, First Nations issues, and
remediation technologies. New topics
for 2015 include energy sector and spill
response presentations.
The BEST Conference will present
several policy updates from the British
Columbia Ministry of Environment after
the conference is once again opened
by Deputy Minister of Environment
Wes Shoemaker. The committee is
also excited to have Public Works and
Government Services Canada involved
this year, presenting on three important federal topics. The entire line-up of
speakers for both days is an interesting
group, with panels of experienced experts organized to facilitate discussion
on the topics presented. Based on early
engagement, and quick sponsorship
renewals, we believe the event will be
another success and we look forward
to seeing many readers of the British
Columbia Environment Industry Guide
in attendance.
In addition to the annual conference, the BCEIA plans on organizing
several events for members and the
business community in 2016. The
BCEIA annual Victoria industry lunch
will be taking place in October. The
event has been a success for the Vancouver Island business community
for the past four years. In September,
the British Columbia Ministry of Environment will be hosting its semi-annual land remediation conference in
Vancouver. The BCEIA will proudly be
involved in organizing a stream of talks
through our Brownfield Committee for
this event. New this year, the BCEIA is
supporting an industry softball league
with a wrap-up tournament in August.
On the sports calendar, the association will also be organizing the annual
hockey tournament in the spring.
For information on BCEIA organized
events, news and notes from around
the industry across North America, I
encourage readers to visit our website, www.bceia.com, and to sign-up
for our informative newsletter through
the website. For those more inclined
to quick news blasts, we are now active on Twitter. Follow us @BCEIA_.
Our goal as an association is to educate our clients, colleagues and the
public on our members’ services, provide quality networking opportunities,
act as a liaison for the government to
interact with our members, and to promote technology development and innovation in the sector. We are committed to building partnerships, strengthening the business development and
competitiveness of our membership,
and raising general awareness of the
industry.
The BCEIA provides the services and
support needed to protect our natural and social environments in a continued period of rapid expansion and
economic growth.
We invite you to explore with us
during this exciting time, as our province moves forward into a cleaner
future.
message from the B.C. environment minister
“We must all do our part to continue creating
a green economy for B.C., and the BCEIA is
helping to lead the way.”
THE GOVERNMENT OF British Columbia is proud to be a leader in implementing policies that support job
growth, innovation and environmental
sustainability.
Responsible resource development
is key to B.C.’s future. With the appropriate environmental protection in place,
we want to say yes to projects that will
help grow our economy, create jobs
and keep our communities strong.
To help meet these goals, our government created a Roundtable on the
Environment and Economy, made up
of representatives from communities,
the industry, labour, First Nations and
the environmental sector. By having
this forum for frank and open discussions, we are working on priorities that
are important to British Columbians
and putting the best policies in place.
One such example is the new worldleading provincial spills regime, which
is the product of over two years of collaboration. Our government engaged
with local governments, First Nations
and the industry (including members
of the British Columbia Environment
Industry Association (BCEIA) and will
continue to work collaboratively with
stakeholders as regulations are developed over the coming year.
The Honourable Mary Polak
B.C. Environment
Minister
We must all do our part to continue
creating a green economy for B.C., and
the BCEIA is helping to lead the way.
BCEIA members are at the forefront of
promoting environmentally sound industry practices, and our government
acknowledges the great work being
done by members across the province
to help guide sustainable resource
development in B.C.

The New Water Sustainability Act
The new Water Sustainability Act (the “WSA”) was brought into force by the British
Columbia government effective February 29, 2016. The provincial government also
issued five new regulations to implement the provisions of the WSA. The WSA effectively
replaces the more than 100-year-old Water Act and embodies a significant shift in how
the use and consumption of water will be governed.

The most significant change from the former Water Act is with respect to groundwater,
which was completely unregulated under the former regime. Individuals and
corporations who wish to use groundwater for agricultural, industrial or bottling purposes
must now obtain a license. Existing groundwater users have three years to apply for a
license, although the government has waived the application fees for the first year in
order to encourage early transition. The Water Sustainability Regulation establishes
the requirements for applications, including the evidence that an applicant will need to
prove that their water rights take priority over other users. The provincial government has
also implemented the Water Sustainability Fees, Rentals and Charges Tariff Regulation,
which sets out annual rental rates for groundwater use. These rates range from $0.11 to
$2.25 per thousand cubic metres, depending on how the water is being used.
The WSA and regulations have added new requirements to applications for both surface
and groundwater licenses. The decision-maker must now consider environmental flow
requirements and mitigation measures as part of the licensing process. The decisionmaker may request certain plans or assessments as part of any application for a license,
and also has the power to require additional information beyond that specified in the
WSA and regulations.
The WSA also adds new environmental protection measures in the form of a prohibition
on the introduction of foreign matter to streams in a quantity or manner that would
cause a “significant adverse impact” to not only the stream and its existing uses. It
remains to be seen how this “significant adverse impact” aspect of the WSA will be
interpreted and applied in practice.
Lastly, the WSA grants to the provincial government relatively broad powers to deal with
drought conditions. Although the traditional “first in time, first in right” approach to water
licensing has largely been preserved, the government now has increased powers to
impose restrictions on rights under existing licenses or approvals.
While it remains to be seen how many of the new regulations will be interpreted and
applied in practice, it is clear that the new WSA will have a significant impact on the
regulation, use and protection of water resources in British Columbia.

When Opportunity Knocks:
N
Brownfield Redevelopment at the Municipal Level
By Guillaume Couillard, Federation of Canadian Municipalities
Nearly every municipality in Canada
has a brownfield property that would
benefit from redevelopment. From the
small “mom and pop” gas station to
the large industrial complex, each site
is unique and comes with its own set
of challenges: liability concerns, environmental and health risks, regulatory approvals, funding availability, and
clean-up costs.
Navigating these challenges can be
daunting for municipalities, particularly
for those lacking prior brownfield experience. The Federation of Canadian
Municipalities (FCM) is working hard to
close that knowledge gap and reposition brownfields as opportunities, not
liabilities.
Through its Green Municipal Fund
(GMF), FCM provides grants, loans
and capacity-building to empower
municipalities to overcome barriers to
brownfield redevelopment. While the
grants and loans provide the necessary funding to plan, study, remediate
and redevelop a brownfield site, GMF’s
webinars, workshops, guidebooks and
Leadership in Brownfield Renewal (LiBRe) community of practice provide
municipal practitioners with the knowledge and contacts they need every
step of the way. In our experience, this
knowledge sharing and capacity-building can be just as powerful a catalyst as
funding itself.
How municipalities benefit from
GMF’s brownfield offering
Consider this example of municipal
staff who have just been assigned the
brownfield file. How might they benefit
from the funding and capacity-building
support offered through GMF?
• To familiarize themselves with the
brownfield redevelopment process,
they might begin by consulting GMF’s
GMF contributed to an urban
renewal project in Westminister
Pier Park in New Westminister,
B.C., in which a former industrial
site was transformed into a prize
boardwalk and green space.
brownfield roadmaps, which provide
an easy-to-follow path through the
basic steps to redevelopment, relevant provincial legislation and available funding opportunities.
• Following that initial overview, they
might join GMF’s LiBRe program to
connect with a national network of
municipal brownfield practitioners.
LiBRe members engage in online
learning activities with their peers
and other brownfield experts and
participate in annual face-to-face
workshops. They share materials developed through a guided, collaborative learning process and report their
progress to GMF annually.
• To see what others have done, they
could read GMF brownfield case
studies, consult its project database
or watch videos of award-winning
brownfield projects.
• For in-depth guidance on specific
topics, such as developing an effective brownfield strategy, they might
participate in a GMF brownfield webinar or turn to GMF’s suite of LiBRe

partnership between the City of Edmonton
and Icon Fox Developments Ltd.
guidebooks, which are produced by
brownfield experts and showcase
best practices in brownfield redevelopment being applied across the
country.
• Finally, they could apply for funding. GMF provides a combination of
grants and loans to municipalities
and their partners to plan, assess,
remediate and redevelop contaminated sites.
GMF results on the ground
The following examples illustrate how
GMF’s unique combination of funding
and capacity-building helps Canadian
municipalities revitalize their brownfield
sites. By partnering with FMC and GMF,
the municipal’s momentum that has
been building over the last few years will
be sustained.
Icon Fox Redevelopment, Edmonton, A.B.
GMF contributed to a multi-phase
project to remediate and redevelop the
site of a former automotive service facility. The project, a partnership between
the City of Edmonton and Icon Fox Developments Ltd., involved remediation
followed by the construction of two
mixed-use high-rise towers. Located
in the heart of downtown Edmonton,
near the central transit station and other
amenities, the 3,500-square-metre site
is ideal for urban densification. GMF
helped finance the remedial action plan
for each phase, beginning in 2012. The
City of Edmonton is also a member of
GMF’s LiBRe program and was awarded a Sustainable Communities Award in
2016 for its Brownfield Redevelopment
Grant Program.
• Total project cost: $6.7 million.
• Total GMF contribution: $6.3 million.
Westminster Pier Park, New
Westminster, B.C.
GMF contributed to this urban renewal project, in which a former industrial
site was transformed into a prize boardwalk and green space. This remediation
project reclaimed 3.6 hectares along
the central downtown shoreline, where
industrial and commercial activity had
once flourished. Prior to remediating the
site, the City of New Westminster benefited from two GMF grants to develop a
sustainable neighbourhood action plan,
and to assess the contamination on-site
and develop a remedial action plan. The
City received a Sustainable Communities
Award in 2012 for its Westminster Pier
Park remediation project.
• Total project cost: $33 million.
• Total GMF contribution: $2 million.
Further details will be presented by
Guillaume Couillard May 25 to 27 at the
2016 BEST Conference in Whistler, B.C.

Clearing Hurdles During Redevelopment
and the Site Profile Process
By Adam Way and Una Radoja, Harper Grey LLP
A prepared brownfield site flattened and
cleared, ready for new build construction.
T
THE SITE PROFILE process is designed
to screen for contaminated sites and
to ensure that remediation of a site is
completed (or at least managed) before redevelopment. Although often
considered a routine step, submitting a
site profile can have significant implications for the owner of property planning redevelopment, including unexpected investigation, remediation, and
construction delays.
It is critical that consultants retained
to assist with this process be fully apprised of the various issues that may
arise.
Site profiles: When are they
triggered?
A person seeking municipal approval for zoning or development of land
that the person knows, or reasonably
should know, is or was used for “industrial or commercial activity” must provide a site profile to the applicable municipality.1 A site profile must also be
provided on an application for a permit
to remove soil, and on an application
for a demolition permit respecting any
structure that the person knows, or
reasonably should know, was used for
industrial or commercial activity.
Schedule 2 of the Contaminated
Site Regulation (CSR) includes a list of
prescribed “industrial or commercial
activity,” which generally corresponds
with operations that have the potential
to cause contamination (e.g., chemical
manufacturing). However, it also includes sites which have been, or likely
have been, contaminated by substances migrating from other properties.
Therefore, even innocent owners who
are the victims of contaminant migration have an obligation to submit a site
profile.
The requirement to provide a site
profile is determined based on the
owner’s knowledge of the past historical use/activities at the site. The test
is both subjective and objective—it is
based on the owner’s actual knowledge, but also on what a reasonable
person ought to know, requiring some
due diligence to be performed by the
owner.
If it is determined that a site profile
was required but not submitted, this
may result in the revocation of past
municipal permits issued for redevelopment, which could have serious
consequences for the property owner.
Penalties could also be imposed.
The “freeze” and “release”
provisions
The submission of a site profile triggers a “freeze” on the permit application process, requiring the owner to
take steps to obtain a “release.” This, in
some circumstances, can entail costly
investigation, remediation and pursuit
of an instrument from the Ministry.
In the circumstances in which an
innocent owner of property impacted
by neighbouring contamination is
required to take such steps at its expense, the owner will have a cause of
action against the polluter under the
cost recovery provisions of the Environmental Management Act.
Duties owed
The applicable municipality and the
director owe a number of duties to the
owner of the land when processing a
site profile, including both procedural
and substantive rights. For instance,
subsection 7(1) of the CSR provides
that once a site profile is received by
a director, the director must, within
15 days, notify the municipality and
the owner whether or not he or she
intends to require a preliminary site
investigation or a detailed site investigation. If the director chooses not to order a site investigation, the municipality is no longer prohibited from approving the permit application for the site
(i.e., there is a “release”). On the other
hand, if an investigation is ordered, the
“freeze” remains in effect.
There is little guidance about when
a site investigation will be required
(and thus, the freeze continues). The
owner will look to the consultant in
this regard, and it is important that the
owner be advised of the discretion afforded to the director in requiring an
investigation and that such a decision
can be appealed.
Obtaining a release
If the director determines that a site
investigation is required as a condition of the release of the permit, it is
then up to the consultant, in conjunction with the owner, to obtain the “release.” While further guidance is provided as to when a release is likely to
be obtained under different scenarios,
these are far from exhaustive and few
circumstances fit neatly into the factual
parameters of each. This can result in
further uncertainty for the owner of the
site and, potentially, further delay in redevelopment.
Conclusion
The site profile process can present
a number of hurdles for the owner of a
site planning redevelopment. It is important that consultants, often retained
to assist in navigating this process, be
fully informed of the issues that may
arise and the legal rights flowing therefrom.
Further details will be presented by
Adam Way and Una Radoja May 25
to 27 at the 2016 BEST Conference in
Whistler, B.C.

1 This applies to all municipalities,
unless the municipality has “opted out” of the site profile provisions. Most municipalities have
not opted out.

A Breath of Fresh Air: Protecting the Public from Air
Quality Concerns Associated with Remediation at Rock Bay
L
By Karey Dow, Hemmera
LOCATED APPROXIMATELY 1.5 kilometres north of Victoria’s downtown
core in a densely populated mixeduse neighbourhood, the Rock Bay
site was once home to a manufactured gas plant. It is understandable
that such a facility, which operated
for more than a century during the
late 19th and early 20th centuries, has
resulted in a very large contaminated
site. This complex site comprises 1.7
hectares of man-made (infilled) uplands and an additional 2.0 hectares
of sediments. Now the responsibility
of Transport Canada (TC), Rock Bay is
currently being remediated for future
transfer and redevelopment. Recently, Hemmera’s project team implemented a Neighbourhood Air Quality
Monitoring Program (NAQMP) to address air quality concerns associated
with the remediation activities at the
site. This program has proven to be
instrumental in demonstrating that
air quality was safeguarded during
remediation.
The remediation of Rock Bay has
taken place in stages (Figure 1). Stage

remediation at Rock Bay, B.C.
One of three monitoring station platforms.
one and two occurred between 2004
and 2006 and involved the removal
of 200,000 tonnes of contaminated
soil from the infilled upland areas.
Stage three of the Rock Bay Remediation Project (RBRP) was undertaken
between 2014 and 2016 by Public
Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) on behalf of TC.
During stage three, contaminated materials were addressed within
the head of Rock Bay and contiguous portions of the adjacent federal uplands. This involved building
a cofferdam across the head of the
bay, draining the bay, and then excavating the contaminated sediment.
In total, more than 91,000 tonnes
of contaminated upland fill material
and bay sediments were excavated
and 53,000 tonnes were treated at
Envirogreen.
The NAQMP was originally developed and implemented during the
earlier stages of the RBRP and was
continued in stage three, given the
potential for dust and odour concerns
due to the nature of the contaminants being remediated (i.e., coal tar
and its distinct mothball odour) and
the close proximity of the project to
downtown Victoria. The NAQMP was
an investment made by TC to protect
the public living and working in the
vicinity of the project.
The NAQMP program was developed
and implemented by Hemmera and included a combination of real-time and
24-hour-time integrated sampling for
a variety of air contaminants of concern, including benzene, ethylbenzene,
toluene, and xylenes (BTEX), volatile
petroleum hydrocarbons (VPH), light
extractable petroleum hydrocarbons
(LEPH), naphthalene, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), hydrogen
sulfide (H2S), dust (PM10 and PM2.5),
and hydrogen cyanide (HCN).
Both real-time and time-integrated sampling were completed daily at
three monitoring stations around the
perimeter of the project site to ensure
constant monitoring downwind of
site activities. There were three monitoring station platforms. A meteorological station was installed to collect
site-specific wind speed, direction
and velocity, temperature, humidity,
and precipitation data. The program
involved the daily collection, interpretation, and reporting of more than
9,000 data points that Hemmera staff
managed using a customized sample
collection application loaded onto an
iPad, combined with a central data
storage repository.
Both the real-time and time-integrated results revealed two primary
contaminants of concern – H2S and
dust (PM10 and PM2.5). Instances in
which dust exceeded permissible levels were primarily attributed to activities on neighbouring properties. H2S
became a concern as it began off-gassing from exposed sediments. Interestingly, as presented in the graph on
this page, the majority of the elevated
H2S concentrations occurred during
nighttime hours when the site was inactive. This was eventually attributed to
photochemical reactions that rapidly
break down H2S during daylight hours
and then cease at night, causing concentrations to spike. Fortunately, no
complaints were received, indicating
that nuisance odour or adverse health
effects were likely not felt in the community.
In conclusion, the NAQMP program
was highly successful in ensuring that
people who live and work near the Rock
Bay site were not exposed to harmful
concentrations of vapours, odours, or
particulate matter sourced from the
stage three remedial operations. In
developing and implementing the NAQMP, Hemmera’s project team demonstrated that no significant adverse
human health or aesthetic effects have
resulted from the stage three remediation activities.
Further details will be presented
by Karey Dow, Hemmera, May 25 to
27 at the 2016 BEST Conference in
Whistler, B.C.
