ThE MEMBEr COMPAnIEs of the British Columbia Environment Indus-try Association (BCEIA) provide a wide range of services to support industry, government and non-government or-ganizations.

The environment industry continues to thrive in British Columbia; many of today’s business leaders are emerging from our member companies, bringing light to new issues and using innova-tive thinking to solve historic impacts on our natural and social environment.

British Columbia’s image as a prov-ince that is strong in green capital is accurate. Our member companies are filled with some of the best environ-ment industry talent in the world.

This edition of the British Colum-bia Environment Industry Guide is your doorway to an industry full of opportuni-ty for a new generation of highly skilled and educated workers. A few of the top-ics being presented at the upcoming Bettering Environmental Stewardship & Technology (BEST) Conference are ar-ticles in this edition. These stories will give you a flavour of exciting projects our members are engaging in and emerging trends we are managing.

In May 2015, the BCEIA is excited to present the second annual BEST Con-ference in Whistler, B.C. Building on the success of our 2014 conference, the as-sociation thinks the event will be a cor-nerstone for the development of ideas and business networking for years to come. Returning themes for this year’s conference include remediation, brown-field redevelopment and First Nations. New topics for 2015 include legal up-dates, public concerns and mining.

We are also excited to have a number of policy update presentations from Brit-ish Columbia`s Ministry of Environment.

The line-up of speakers is an interest-ing group, with panels of experienced experts organized to facilitate discus-sions on the topics presented. Based on early engagement, we believe the event will once again be a success and look forward to seeing many readers of the magazine in attendance.

In addition to our conference, the BCEIA plans on continuing with our an-nual Victoria industry lunch in October, which has been a success for the Van-couver Island business community for three years running. New this year, in early May, BCEIA is supporting an indus-try hockey tournament with 12 teams comprised of member companies, which sold out in a manner of weeks. You can also expect a brownfield educa-tion event and our year-end networking event in Vancouver.

For information on BCEIA organized events, as well as news and notes from the industry across North America, I encourage readers to visit our website (www.bceia.com) as well as sign up for our newsletter through the website. For those more inclined to quick news blasts, we are now active on Twitter, @BCEIA_.

Our goal as an association is to edu-cate our clients, colleagues and the pub-lic on our member’s services, provide quality networking opportunities, act as a liaison for government to interact with our members, and promote tech-nology development and innovation in the sector. We are committed to build-ing partnerships, strengthening the busi-ness 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 an exciting time as our province moves forward into a cleaner future.

BCEIA’s BEST

ThE MArWEll TAr Pit in Whitehorse is Yukon’s most talked about hydrocarbon contaminated site. In the Second World War, an oil refinery was built to pro-cess crude brought from Norman Wells, NWT. The refinery operated for less than a year, closing in 1945. The refin-ery was dismantled and shipped south. Oil sludge recovered during dismantling was dumped into the retaining berm of one of the dismantled tanks.

In 1958, a man became trapped in oil and subsequently died of exposure. The coroner’s jury recommended the oil pool be removed. Soon thereafter, water was drained out of the pit and remaining oil and contaminated soil was covered with soil. The contamination is currently capped with soil and fencing is in place where oil remains exposed.

site assessmentSince 1989, various investigations

have been undertaken. The Canadian and the Yukon governments agreed to fund assessment and remediation in 2010. To delineate contamination, and characterize and confirm ground-water quality and flow, SLR Consulting (Canada) Ltd. carried out a detailed site assessment in 2013. Key findings included:• Petroleum hydrocarbons, the pre-

dominant contaminants, are present primarily as heavier fuel oil with light extractable petroleum hydrocarbons (LEPH) and heavy extractable petrol-eum hydrocarbons (HEPH) being the contaminants of concern.

• Solvents and PCBs were not found.• Vapour contamination was not iden-

tified.• The bulk of contamination is con-

tained within an 85 metre wide, cir-cular, former tank basin with a clay berm. On average, contaminated soil is found within four metres of surface, with small pockets of slightly deeper contamination, and larger areas where contamination appears no deeper

than three metres. The top 1.5 metres appears less contaminated.

• Groundwater is contaminated in both shallow and deep layers within the pit, but deep groundwater impacts are not found outside the pit; it does not discharge to nearby streams.

• Contamination is found in fine and coarser soils and in thin seams of oily goop.

• The pit’s approximately 51,500 tonnes of material includes an esti-mated 36,500 tonnes of soil, includ-ing special waste level hydrocarbon material that exceeds risk-based re-medial targets.

risk assessmentTreating contamination will be diffi-

cult for many reasons, including sloped terrain, soft ground and the inner city setting. While funding of $6.8 million is in place, it is not sufficient; costs are es-timated at more than $10 million. It was important to assess remedial options that precluded complete treatment, but that would reduce liability and minimize risks.

To quantify risks to human and eco-logical health, SLR completed a detailed human health and ecological risk as-sessment (HHERA). Key findings from the HHERA included:• People: Under current exposure

conditions where fencing is used, ad-verse health effects are not expected; however, direct contact with free product in soil or groundwater may pose adverse health effects. Future industrial workers should not use the groundwater, and construction and utility workers should be protected.

• Ecological receptors: Low adverse effects are expected to plants and soil organisms, and adverse effects to deep rooted vegetation, birds and mammals are unlikely. Direct contact with free product may result in ad-verse health effects.

• Site specific remediation targets (SSRTs): Due to potential adverse ef-fects of free product, SSRTs were de-rived for LEPH and HEPH, the main components of free phase petroleum products. These SSRTs (5,900 and 13,000 mg/kg for LEPH and HEPH re-spectively) are considered protective of both human and ecological recep-tors and were used to guide remedi-ation and risk mitigation planning. As long as any remaining contamination in soil in the top 1.5 metre is at or below the SSRTs, the site will be safe for industrial use.

remediation Typical strategies and technologies

for hydrocarbon remediation are not practical or feasible at the Marwell Tar Pit. Initial evaluation of strategies to mitigate contamination and risk includ-ed limiting access, covering everything, treating to various depths, and remov-ing impacted soils.

SLR worked with the Yukon govern-ment’s designated project manager to develop a plan of restoration. While the plan suggests Thermal Desorption as a primary treatment for the contaminated soils, options for alternate approaches will be considered.

Development of the plan has re-quired ongoing proactive liaison with government agencies, First Nations and stakeholders. The plan of restoration has been submitted to the Yukon Environ-mental and Socio-economic Assessment Board.

MCMIllAn CrEEk, ThE largest urban stream in Prince George, B.C., has high ecological and social importance. It is home to several species of fish and the riparian corridor is known for its diversity of habitat and wildlife. McMillan drains into the Nechako River just a few kilome-ters upstream from where the Nechako enters the Fraser River.

Over the last century, the McMillian Creek watershed has experienced signifi-cant growth from residential, industrial, commercial and agricultural develop-ment. As a result, a portion of its drainage has been enclosed into a storm system known as the Hart Storm Trunk. Where the Hart Storm Trunk outfalls into McMil-lan Creek, the stormwater has deposited significant amounts of sediment into the energy dissipator structure, which re-quires ongoing maintenance.

Like all municipalities, Prince George manages, maintains, upgrades and de-commissions stormwater networks using engineered systems, mapping, modeling and city crews to inspect the infrastruc-ture. However, as the city continues to grow and prosper, demands on this stormwater network are expected to grow. As a proactive measure, the city has taken a multiple prong approach to the management of the drainage system.

The first is preventive maintenance, which ensures areas are free of blockage or built-up sediment while ensuring that the commercial inputs to the network are also maintained.

The second is mapping the storm-water drainage more closely to define where the issues are being generated and how they collectively impact the outcome. The primary challenge is obtaining the funding for this type of sampling project. Adequate sampling is necessary to understand the potential background concentrations of the sur-face water and how they may change as the water flows through the drain-age. In addition to those challenges, staff need to stay updated with poten-tial regulatory changes.

In the fall of 2013, McElhanney was retained by the city to provide an environ-mental management plan and environ-mental monitoring services for the main-tenance and removal of sediment at the outfall to McMillan Creek. As well, a hydro-technical engineer was retained to draft the McMillan Creek Watershed Drainage Plan. During the cleanout, it was identified that sediment loading contained contami-nants of concern, most likely attributed to sediment deposition on the roads, high-ways and other hard surfaces.

Subsequent work followed to identify visible point and non-point source pol-lution observed at the outfall, including a review of existing infrastructure within the system, a review of private businesses permitted to discharge, and water and sediment sampling.

In the summer of 2014, the Prince George Utility Operations Division and McElhanney embarked on a comprehen-sive water and sediment testing program to locate point and non-point sources of pollution.

Following are some of the positive outcomes and lessons learned:• Education of businesses in the catch-

ment was needed. Several businesses had not maintained their sediment and oil water separators effectively and several were not aware of the in-frastructure on their properties. Many were also not aware that what en-tered their drains entered a fish bear-ing creek without further treatment.

• More frequent and rigorous monitor-ing would help heighten this aware-ness. Where education is not effective, enforcement of infrastructure mainte-nance may be necessary.

• Drawings did not reflect all of the changes in the system. There were several connections to the system that were permitted, but not tied into the correct manhole or storm chamber.

• Base flow was present in the storm-water system during frozen winter conditions. Historically, it was under-stood that this flow was the result of

leakage in the network or flow through pipe bedding. However, groundwater intercepted from the top of the reach was observed and field measurements confirmed during a non-precipitation event that the flow was consistent and water quality remained relatively un-changed throughout the system. Some exceedances previously thought to be caused by human impacts appear to actually be a natural occurrence from the groundwater.

• Stormwater chemistry can be in con-stant flux; however, there were typical water chemistry indicators within this stormwater catchment.

• The use of field monitoring equip-ment correlated with analytical chem-istry results provided a good indicator of the stormwater quality.

• Proactive consultation with regulators is important and needed.

• Products used by commercial opera-tions labelled environmentally-friendly by the manufacturer do not necessar-ily mean they are non-reactive to the environment. The assessment and management of

the storm system will continue. The intent is to provide a better understanding of the system’s dynamics. As budgets allow, similar assessments have been or will be undertaken in other drainages.

EEnvIrOnMEnTAl lIABIlITy InsUr-AnCE has evolved over the years from an expensive proposition, to a well crafted, specialized risk management tool. It can cover risks that are no longer covered in traditional liability policies. What this means is better overall coverage and more risk retention and transfer options. At one time, the general liability policy provided some limited coverage for “sud-den and accidental” release or escape of pollutants. The pollutant needed to be discovered and reported within a certain timeframe or there would be no coverage.

This coverage was typically referred to as the 120/120 coverage. You would have to discover the pollution event within 120 hours (five days), and then report it with-in 120 hours of that discovery. Although this coverage is still available, it has lim-itations. Businesses in the environmental industry should not be relying on such a limited form of coverage.

After several court battles challenging the language of this “sudden and acci-dental coverage,” nowadays, most, if not all, general liability policies have imple-mented “absolute pollution exclusion.” This was a message from insurance com-panies that they do not want to pay for pollution claims under a traditional gen-eral liability policy.

Whether you are a property owner, environmental consultant or contractor, you must be keenly aware of your expos-ures and what level of protection you re-quire from your policies.

The following are common myths of how environmental exposures are viewed and interpreted.

I am a consultant; I do not actually do any of the work

Consultants advising and working with other environmental companies have a professional liability exposure, even though they are not physically doing the remediation work. Customers relying on a

consultant’s advice and carrying out their work based on those instructions can “third party” the consultant in a lawsuit if there was a claim.

Environmental claims can be incred-ibly expensive and the legal costs alone can create financial hardship for compan-ies, especially a small consulting firm or contractor. Just because a consultant is not physically doing the work, it does not entirely absolve them of liability.

We subcontract all our work, so they have their own insurance

The lion’s share of liability may be with the subcontractors actually performing the environmental work; however, vic-arious liability plays a role here. It will depend on how the work is supervised, instructed and carried out.

Those details will be judged in each case and on its own merits. The company that is subcontracting out the work may be a party to a lawsuit by virtue of their contractual relationship with the subcon-tractors. Review of the contract is key in this case.

I did not know there were con-taminants on my property and I was not the polluter, why should I be responsible?

Section 47 of the Environmental Management Act of British Columbia clearly states that a person deemed responsible is “absolutely, retroactive-ly, and jointly and separately liable.” If you own property, you are liable for the

remediation and any other parties that the investigation may attribute as a po-tential polluter. You do not have to be the polluter to be deemed responsible.

Regulators are becoming increasing-ly onerous on business and will make directors of corporations personally li-able for remediation. In a recent case in Ontario, Baker v. Ministry of Environ-ment, directors and officers of North-star Aerospace were held on appeal to remain responsible for remediation and personally liable for those costs, about $1.4 million per year. The case under appeal, but the message is loud and clear.

summaryThere are many assumptions made

when it comes to liability. The public generally believes that general liability is a catch all policy covering all liabilities for a corporation. This mistake can cost a company their business when it comes to environmental liability and law.

As environmental law and regula-tions have evolved, so has the insurance industry in deferring environmental lia-bility to policies where they belong, a well crafted environmental policy specif-ically dealing with those risks.
