This EMP outlines the general guidelines, specifications and best management practices (BMP’s) to be employed during all works associated with the project. It provides information and recommendations to ensure ecosystems, wildlife, vegetation, fish and fish habitat values are protected. This document is intended to guide the RDKS, the management team, the contractors, and the Environmental Monitor (EM) during any and all planned works. Furthermore, this plan can be used for direction when unforeseen changes occur due to site specific conditions. Site specific reporting requirements are not provided within this document as they should be developed in consultation with the project management team and successful contractor and will consider the risks of specific activities within the project.
The following sections outline the general BMP’s describing specific construction activities, impact avoidance procedures, and environmental management. These BMP’s can be used for a variety of ongoing or impending projects associated with the construction and commissioning of the project, including components of earthworks, building construction, and installation of drainage structures.
2 LEGAL FRAMEWORK The BMP’s presented in this EMP are based on meeting the intended outcomes identified by regulatory agencies. Fisheries and Oceans Canada (DFO) requires that work conducted in and around a waterbody that contains fish or provides connectivity to fish-bearing waters at any time during the given year, must avoid serious harm to fish and fish habitat as protected under the Fisheries Act (1985, revised 2012) and the Fisheries Protection Policy Statement (2013), unless authorized by the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Canada. Although no federal permitting through DFO is required for the proposed construction, the BMP’s outlined in the DFO Operational Statements should be employed as appropriate.
The Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations (FLNRO) is the provincial body responsible for the management and protection of all fish, wildlife, and ecosystem values. Wildlife and/or wildlife habitat are protected under several federal and provincial laws: Canada Wildlife Act, BC Wildlife Act, Canada Migratory Bird Act, Canada Species at Risk Act (SARA), and the Forest and Ranges Practices Act (FRPA). The Canada Wildlife Act (1973) protects species through the preservation of important habitats and restricts activities that may harm the species or its habitat. Land use permits are granted if an intended use is compatible with the conservation of the area. The BC Wildlife Act (1996) protects all vertebrate animals from direct harm except where allowed by regulation such as hunting or trapping. The Migratory Bird Act (1994) protects migratory birds, their eggs and their nests from direct harm, except where allowed through regulation (e.g. hunting of migratory game birds). The Species at Risk Act
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
3 February 2016
(2002) is federal legislation that protects species at risk and their critical habitats. The Forest and Range Practices Act (2002) protects species at risk so long as they are designated as Identified Wildlife; the Identified Wildlife Management Strategy documents management strategies to minimize the effects of forestry activities on valued species. The BC Water Act (1996) protects water resources as owned by the Crown. Section 9 under this Act requires that “changes in and about a stream” can only be made under an Approval or Notification, or under a Water License or Order. A “stream” is defined to “include a natural watercourse or source of water supply, whether usually containing water or not, and a lake, river, creek, spring, ravine, swamp, or gulch" (BC Water Act 2015).
In addition to the preceding legal framework, several other Acts may or may not become relevant based on activities required to meet the scope of work. This includes the BC Environmental Manage Act, the Waste Management Act, and the BC Weed Control Act. Where planned activities could potentially contravene these Acts, best management practices have been provided. However, the provision of this EMP in no way relieves the contractor of their liability if these acts are contravened.
3 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING The RDKS will retain a qualified environmental professional, as required, to act on their
behalf during the project. The EM will liaise with the RDKS, project team, and the contractors, to identify and to
mitigate any identified impacts. The EM will be onsite to limit impacts to existing habitat and to ensure conditions are as good as, or better than original conditions upon completion of the project. Any event that results in an impact to habitat will be reported to the appropriate agencies within 24 hours. Contractors are expected to maintain and leave the completed work area in a safe, clean and environmentally stable condition at the end of each day.
The major responsibilities of the EM are to: o ensure compliance with the written EMP and relevant amendments; o ensure that all Environmentally Sensitive Areas (ESAs) are clearly marked in the
field prior to work initiating; o monitor the installation and effectiveness of any containment structures; o assist with recommendations to address any environmental issues; o identify any emerging environmental issues; o if necessary, issue a stop work order to investigate and address any perceived
impacts; o record detailed notes, photographs and observations; and, o provide a post-construction monitoring report.
The EM will be present during any work within a Designated Watercourse or an ESA including, but not limited to:
o clearing and/or grubbing within or areas with significant risk to an ESA; o crossing (over, under, or through) any Designated Watercourse or ESA; o instream works;
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
4 February 2016
o cast-in-place concrete; and, o diversion or discharge of water to the environment.
In the absence of EM, the RDKS or its representatives can act as a substitute to the EM. The contractor shall ensure that the supervisors, operators, and work crews (including
any subcontractors) understand the specific environmental issues on the work site and their responsibilities under these tasks.
The EM may issue a "stop work order" if it is determined that construction is creating or will result in a substantial adverse effect on environmental values or resources in the vicinity of the project site.
The contractor shall subsequently be responsible for advising the RDKS of any intended remedial action including the necessary authorizations from regulatory agencies.
The EM, RDKS or their representatives may direct the contractor to cease work on an unaffected portion of the site so that any necessary equipment can be immediately diverted to address the environmental emergency.
Prior to initiating temporary work stoppages, the contractor shall ensure the site is left in a condition that will not result in erosion or sedimentation to a watercourse.
The contractor shall complete any mitigation and environmental protection measures to prepare the site for a work stoppage.
If potential adverse environmental impacts are observed during work stoppage periods, the contractor shall initiate and undertake any required environmental protection measures to avoid or minimize future impacts.
4 SERVICING AND OPERATION OF EQUIPMENT All equipment shall be in good repair with no excess fluid, grease or leaks. The parking, fueling, servicing or washing of machines and or equipment shall not be
conducted within 30 m of a watercourse or designated ESA. No fuel storage is to occur on the project site within 30 m of a watercourse or ESA. Fuel containers less than 20 liters in size, or portable fuel-powered equipment, shall be
placed within secondary containment. If heavy equipment is to be refueled onsite over the duration of the project the contractor
will provide a fuel management plan prior to on site activities. This plan should outline: o the type of fuel storage to be used; o its location in relation to the operations; o safe operation protocols for filling and fueling; o spill management equipment available at fueling area; and, o how the provided information meets industry and government best management
practices. The operation of equipment and machinery in an ESA must be kept to an absolute
minimum and have authorization by governmental agencies and RDKS. When working in or near any watercourse, the contractor shall ensure that all hydraulic,
fuel, and lubricating systems are in good repair. Equipment with fuel or fluid leaks will not enter any ESA. Equipment developing any leaks shall be removed immediately and repaired off site.
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
5 February 2016
5 EARTHWORKS OPERATIONS The contractor shall avoid placement of excavated materials adjacent to Designated
Waters and ESA’s. All equipment will be well maintained and in good working order. Erosion and sediment control measures must be taken prior to and after stockpile
placement of excavated material in areas where natural drainage or storm water could erode and thereby transport sediment and/or pollutants to surface waters.
The contractor shall ensure that all stockpiles are stable through erosion and sediment control measures. A suitable covering material shall be used to cover any exposed stockpiles of erodible materials, such as topsoil, sand, gravel or road-base fill.
The contractor shall minimize compaction unless otherwise specified.
6 SPILL MANAGEMENT Note that while the work area is a retired landfill, this will in no way reduce the requirements for spill management or the care to be taken with biohazard, toxic, or other potentially harmful substances. Note also that off gassing of potentially flammable gasses from the landfill should be considered during all works that would potential cause a spark or open flame.
The contractor will be responsible for having an adequately stocked spill kit for the work being undertaken at each active work site and ensure that all heavy equipment be individually equipped with a spill kit.
The contractor shall be responsible for all costs associated with clean-up and disposal of any spilled toxic and hazardous substances.
The contractor shall promptly replace any used spill abatement and cleanup materials and maintain a sufficient inventory of materials throughout construction operations.
The location of all spills, including those less than of reportable size (see Table 1) shall be recorded and reported to the EM or RDKS.
The contractor shall be responsible for collection and removal of all waste materials that were used during a spill clean-up.
The contractor shall immediately report any spill of toxic or hazardous material verbally to the EM or a representative to the RDKS.
The contractor shall report any spills of a reportable quantity to Emergency Management British Columbia (see Table 1). Within two weeks of a verbal report, a written notification of the spill is required.
The contractor is responsible for taking the necessary actions to abate the discharge and provide the necessary expense for labour, equipment, materials and absorbents to contain and remove the spill, clean up the affected area, dispose of waste materials at an approved disposal site, and restore the area to the satisfaction of the regulatory agencies.
In the event a spill occurs directly or indirectly into a watercourse, the contractor will be responsible for notifying the EM and quickly and safely working toward containing the spill, monitoring and addressing the environmental impacts (water quality assessments upstream, downstream and at the site of the spill, and restoring the site to the satisfaction of the regulatory bodies and the EM.

Toxic/Hazardous Materials.
9 ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITIES
9.1 Erosion, Sediment and Drainage Control All works shall be undertaken to avoid erosion, sediment discharge, or other deleterious
substances into any watercourse. Any works required in about a stream, including but not limited to drawing of water,
removing vegetation, or crossing, should be discussed with RDKS to ensure that any authorizations or permits are in place or permits can be acquired.
No obstruction or debris shall be placed in watercourses during any operations, unless approved by governmental agencies.
Should any material be inadvertently placed within the normal high water mark of a watercourse, the RDKS or EM should be immediately notified. The material shall be removed as soon as feasible, using environmentally acceptable procedures.
The contractor shall be responsible for preparing, implementing and maintaining erosion and sediment control for the project including temporary erosion and sediment control measures. This includes daily inspection of its integrity during adverse weather conditions or when construction operations are proceeding in an ESA. An EM is required onsite during work in and about a Designated Watercourses or ESA during adverse weather conditions.
Control measures will be installed by the contractor and maintained throughout the operation during working and non-working hours, and are subject to approval by RDKS or their environmental representative.
The contractor will immediately correct any deficiencies in erosion control measures brought to their attention.
RDKS or their representative, has the authority to define Environmentally Sensitive Areas or conditions, such as highly erodible soils. The contractor will provide appropriate temporary erosion and sediment control measures at these sites until more long term solutions can be implemented. Temporary measures may include, but are not be limited to:
o interceptor ditches or berms to direct runoff away from erodible areas or watercourses;
o exposed soil protection measures such as mulches, polyethylene tarps, or other temporary covers;
o sediment fences; o ditch blocks to reduce flow velocities; and, o sediment control measures, such as settling ponds.
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
9 February 2016
Sediment and debris accumulations which compromise the function of the erosion and sediment control measures shall be removed by the contractor and disposed of in an environmentally acceptable location and manner.
The contractor shall construct sediment control ponds where necessary to prevent the release of unavoidably entrained sediments in runoff or discharge water from the construction site. Additionally, it is the contractor’s responsibility to construct storm water detention ponds for the temporary and/or permanent control and discharge of storm water runoff.
If during construction the settling pond is filled to capacity, but still required for sediment control, any accumulated sediments shall be removed from the control and storm water detention ponds. Such sediments shall be disposed of in an environmentally acceptable location and manner.
Original drainage patterns shall be maintained throughout construction operations, except where interceptor ditches or berms are required to divert sediment laden runoff from the site to a sediment control pond.
Temporary and/or permanent drainage ditches, including those constructed for erosion and sediment control shall be designed to prevent high water velocities and erosion by including measures such as check dams, drop structures or erosion-resistant liners.
The contractor will take immediate action to correct any deficiency observed in the operation of erosion and sediment control measures.
In the event that a deficiency poses the potential to create an adverse environmental impact, the contractor shall take immediate action to correct the deficiency upon observing or being informed of the situation.
9.2 General Restraints for Watercourses and Groundwater For any instream works, the contractor and their EM shall refer to the applicable sections
of the Standards and Best Practices for Instream Works, A Users’ Guide to Working in and Around Water (MoE 2004, updated 2009) and all applicable updates throughout the duration n of the contract. The EM will be responsible for notifying the contractor and RDKS or all applicable updates.
The contractor shall prepare a detailed work procedure for any work within a Designated Watercourse or ESA, or for any work with the potential to cause major adverse impacts to these sites (e.g., trenching through a watercourse, concrete pour near a watercourse, flushing water discharge, etc.).
Waste material generated during instream works shall not be stored or dumped within the riparian zone.
Drainage of waterbodies, such as wetlands, ditches, swamps, or beaver ponds shall be subject to the approval of RDKS who will consult with the regulatory agencies.
The intakes of all pumps or diversions used to withdraw water from fish-bearing watercourses shall be screened in accordance with the Fisheries and Oceans Canada (1995) Freshwater Intake End-of-Pipe Fish Screen Guideline. The contractor shall provide and maintain stable access routes to all water withdrawal sites.
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
10 February 2016
9.3 Fish and Wildlife The contractor will avoid serious harm or disturbance to all fish and wildlife species
observed or identified onsite during the project. Vegetation clearing should occur outside of the April 1 to August 10 window
(Environment Canada 2016). If clearing is required within this window, breeding bird nest surveys should be completed prior to work to ensure migratory birds are not harmed (Migratory Birds Convention Act). Any nests found will have a site specific plan developed by a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP).
Note that specific approvals and permits are required to salvage both fish and wildlife. Given that bear and other wildlife are present in the area, a zero tolerance policy
regarding feeding wildlife will be implemented to reduce interactions or conflicts. All domestic and food waste must be disposed of in a closed bear-proof container until it is possible to safely dispose at an approved waste disposal site.
No domestic pets will be allowed on site during works including within contractor vehicles.
Any issues with nuisance wildlife or with vehicle-wildlife collisions should be recorded and reported the Conservation Officer Service immediately and to RDKS or their representative within 24 hours.
The contractor will operate and maintain the electrical fence for wildlife in a suitable manner.
9.4 Ecosystems and Vegetation Native Vegetation and Invasive Plant Management
At a minimum, mitigation measures for reducing disturbance to vegetation will include: Limit the extent of grubbing, stripping and removal of understory vegetation (e.g. shrubs,
grasses and forbs) to the minimum required for construction and without compromising safety and security requirements.
Minimize disturbance of intact vegetation during the construction phase by confining storage of materials to the established footprint (e.g., do not dump rock and other materials on intact vegetated areas outside of the footprint).
Prevent erosion through implementation of specific mitigation measures.
At a minimum, mitigation measures for reducing the introduction and spread of invasive plant species should include the following:
Minimize area of soil disturbance during construction. All heavy equipment brought onsite must arrive thoroughly cleaned (e.g., remove dirt
from tracks, undercarriage, or tires accumulated from previous work sites) prior to arrival.
The source pit for any aggregate or other material should be checked to confirm that no invasive plants will be inadvertently moved to the site.
All clothing and footwear should be checked for seeds or plant matter. If materials are detected, these should be removed and disposed of as per Section 8: Waste Disposal and Toxic/Hazardous Materials to limit infestation in the area.
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
11 February 2016
A list and control measures of the noxious, undesirable weeds, and exotic/introduced plants are available from the BC Ministry of Agriculture as mandated by the BC Weed Control Act (1996) (http://www.al.gov.bc.ca/cropprot/weedguid/weedguid.htm).
Tree Planting and Seeding The required revegetation of a work site, as a result of contractor’s actions, is the
responsibility and expense of the contractor. Contractor shall ensure appropriate revegetation is planted and seeding is native
excluding hydro-seeding for stabilizing exposed soils. Where specific re-vegetation plans are not incorporated into the contract, the contractor
will provide a re-vegetation plan to the RDKS or EM for approval before it is implemented. Note that some re-vegetation plans may have to be signed off by QEP.
The contractor will be responsible for re-vegetation until the EM determines that revegetation has been successfully achieved.
9.5 Air Quality and Dust Control All equipment will be maintained and in good working order. All motorized equipment, including tools and vehicles, will be inspected prior to use. All motorized equipment will have mufflers in good working order. The RDKS supports a ‘No Idle Policy’ with passenger vehicles to manage air quality
impacts associated with vehicle use. Prohibit burning of any inorganic or construction debris as a means of disposal. The contractor will use water to ensure dust suppression on access roads, laydown
areas and borrow/spoiling areas. Note that water must be acquired from a municipal site or appropriate water use permits should be acquired.
Mud and dirt tracked out from the construction site will be monitored and minimized. Drop height at material transfer locations (e.g., when loading soil onto haul trucks) will be
minimized. On-site vehicle restrictions (e.g., limit the speed of vehicles travelling on unpaved access
roads) will be implemented. Activities that create fugitive dust will be reduced or minimized during windy conditions.
9.6 Archaeological and Paleontological Discoveries The contractor shall observe excavations for signs of previous disturbances or
archaeological interests. In the event that any item of archaeological, heritage, historical, cultural, or scientific interest is found on the project site, such item(s) shall remain the property of the Province. Upon making or being advised of such a find, the contractor shall immediately cease operations in the affected area, minimize activities which create ground disturbance in and adjacent to the affected area, and notify RDKS or their representative of the discovery.
The Provincial Archaeology Branch will be notified by RDKS of any archaeological discoveries. Work shall not resume within 30 m of the discovery site until an appropriate directive has been received. To protect archaeological and paleontological sites situated within or adjacent to a project site, the contractor may be required to use a variety of
RDKS Thornhill Transfer Station EMP
