1. Introduction

This Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) provides guidance to contractors to design

and build the proposed Conveyance System for the North Shore Wastewater Treatment Plant

(NSWWTP, formerly known as Lions Gate Secondary Wastewater Treatment Plant (LGSWWTP)) located at

Philip Avenue and West 1st

Street in the District of North Vancouver. A new wastewater pump station

and conveyance piping will be located on Vancouver Fraser Port Authority (VFPA) land. The CEMP has

been developed for the proposed conveyance system which includes a new pump station, associated

influent sewer and forcemain and effluent sewer that will be located adjacent to the existing Lions Gate

Wastewater Treatment Plant (LGWWTP) under the Lions Gate Bridge, and within the Vancouver Fraser

Port Authority jurisdiction.

On behalf of Metro Vancouver (MV), AECOM has prepared an indicative design of the Project. The

Project will be procured using a Design-Build method where the Design-Builder will be responsible to

perform the detailed design of the Project and construct it accordingly. The Design-Builder (DB) will also

be responsible for the acquisition of all permits including those from the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.

The purpose of this document is to provide an indicative strategy consistent with our indicative design to

present mitigation measures and environmental Best Management Practices (BMPs) to avoid or minimize

adverse impacts to human health and the environment.

This CEMP is based on current governmental regulations, the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s Project &

Environmental Review guidelines dated July 2015 for the preparation of a CEMP, environmental

conditions and findings of previous investigations and assessments at the Site. The objectives of the

CEMP are to:

Protect valued ecological features of the terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric environments during the

pre-construction demolition and construction phases of the proposed Project;

Protect human health and ensure the safety of the public and site workers;

Ensure compliance with conditions of permits and approvals granted by environmental regulatory

agencies; and

Manage potential environmental liabilities.

The Greater Vancouver Sewage and Drainage District (GVS&DD) has retained AECOM Canada Ltd. to

prepare indicative designs for the new Pump Station, influent sewer, forcemain and low pressure gravity

effluent sewer. The Conveyance Route is a pipeline alignment of approximately 2 kilometres in length

that extends from the area of the existing Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant, adjacent to a rail

corridor and along District of North Vancouver streets to the east to the NSWWTP. The Conveyance

Route traverses District of North Vancouver, and part of the Squamish Nation (SN) Capilano

#5 lands.

This CEMP is designed to define the roles and responsibilities and mitigation measures that will be

followed to minimize potential adverse effects on the environment and communities during development of

the proposed Project. This CEMP is based on the current indicative design of the proposed Project and

will be updated by the Design Build Contractor once the detailed design of the proposed Project and the

construction plan have been completed by the Design-Builder. If the DB decides to use different

methodology, a revised CEMP will be submitted to the VFPA.

The DB Contractor will need to develop activity specific Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs) that

describe how they will meet those requirements and to reflect final design and construction methods

used.

This CEMP has been prepared in accordance with the Project and Environmental Review Guidelines –

Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP Guidelines), Section 5.5 Project Mitigation

Measures and Environmental Specifications (PMV 2015):

2.0 Project Information

2.1 Location

The Project includes three major pipelines and the Bridge Road Pump Station. The major pipelines

include the following:

1200 mm Influent Sewer extending from the existing LGWWTP to the new Pump Station

900 mm Forcemain extending from the Pump Station to the NSWWTP

2100 mm Effluent Sewer extending from the NSWWTP to the existing outfall

110 MLD Pump Station located underneath the Lions Gate Bridge within the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority’s property

Zoning in the area varies from light industrial, commercial and mixed use to the east (District of North

Vancouver). The Squamish Nation land has no official zoning (western and eastern sections of the

corridor). A rail corridor for CN / BC Rail / PGE Rail corridor is parallel to the route over most of the length

of the route. It is situated approximately 350 metres from the shoreline of Burrard Inlet. The pump station is

situated on Federal land under administration of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority. The conveyance

alignment crosses Squamish Nation and the District of North Vancouver. Zoning (i.e. land use) for the

pump station and conveyance route includes industrial, commercial and residential.

The Bridge Road Pump Station Site extends from land currently owned by the GVS&DD, along the MOTI

and to lands under the jurisdiction of the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.

The Conveyance Route Site extends across two municipalities, the District of West Vancouver and the

District of North Vancouver, on the north shore of Burrard Inlet, and a portion of the Squamish Nation’s

lands.

Activities and uses for the proposed Sites include freight handling, light industrial and commercial

operations, rail transportation, works yards, wastewater treatment, parkland and undeveloped land. Due

to activity over the decades in the vicinity of the proposed Site, fill has most likely been placed over

certain areas.

2.2 Project Description

The pump station will be located approximately 30 m south of the North Cable Bent Pier between a

foreshore area to the east and Burrard Inlet to the west, and Stanley Park situated across 1st

Narrows to

the south. The pump station is also located within the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority jurisdiction. The

Lions Gate Wastewater Treatment Plant is adjacent to the northwest of the pumping station. The

LGWWTP will be decommissioned and removed once the NSWWTP is operational.

The Project is at the indicative design phase. As such, detailed plans and construction methodologies are

not yet ready. However, some physical activities which are expected to take place, but are not limited to:

Heavy machinery and other fuelled equipment (e.g. pumps, generators) operations.

Vegetation clearing, including mature standing timber from the proposed Conveyance Route.

Invasive species removal and disposal.

Trenching and pump station location excavation up to 10 metres below ground surface (bgs).

Soil stockpiling, handling and disposal.

Structural fill importation and placement.

2.4 Site Description

The site description includes three major pipelines and a pump station as described below.

Influent Sewer

The Influent Sewer consists of a 1200 mm sewer extending east from the existing Lions Gate

Treatment Plant and then south from the existing treatment plant adjacent to the Lions Gate Bridge

alignment within the MOTI ROW to the new pump station.

Forcemain/gravity sewer

The forcemain consists of a 900 mm pipeline extending north from the new pump station adjacent to

the Lions Gate Bridge alignment within the MOTI ROW and then east following the CN Railway

alignment to Whonoak Road. At Whonoak Road, the forcemain turns north following the Whonoak

Road alignment and then east along W 1st St to Philip Avenue where it will connect to the new

NSWWTP.

Effluent Sewer

Effluent from the NSWWTP will flow through a 2100 mm pipeline extending from W 1st Street and

Philip Avenue west along W 1st Street until Whonoak Road. At Whonoak Road, the effluent line will

turn south to the CN Railway and then turn west and follow the CN Railway alignment to the Lions

Gate Bridge where it will turn south and follow the bridge alignment within the MOTI ROW to the

existing outfall.

Bridge Road Pump Station

The Bridge Road Pump Station will be located within the MOTI ROW approximately 30 m south of the

North Cable Bent of the Lions Gate Bridge. The site is within the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority

(VFPA) boundary.

The Conveyance Route consists of a linear corridor dedicated to the forcemain and effluent pipelines

approximately 2 kilometres in length and described as follows: Starting at the new pump station site

and running north along the MOTI ROW (Bridge Road alignment). It crosses the rail corridor, to an

undeveloped area between the Capilano Highway Services (CHS) works yard and the rail corridor.

After crossing the rail corridor, the alignment goes east, extending along the north side of the rail

corridor, and south of the Squamish Nation (IR#5) lands, to the extension of Whonoak Road. The

alignment goes north along the extension of Whonoak Road to 1st Street West. The alignment

becomes easterly along 1st Street West, and extends to the proposed NSWWTP near the corner of




1st Street West and Philip Avenue. The new Conveyance Route parallels the current North

Vancouver interceptor sewer. In the western part of the alignment, the route extends through

undeveloped lands. The eastern section of the route is situated within the District of North Vancouver

streets. There are no known structures or buildings located directly on the alignment, except for a

landscaping company on the Whonoak Road extension.

Activities and uses for the proposed Site include freight handling, light industrial and commercial

operations, rail transportation, works yards, wastewater treatment, parkland and undeveloped land. Due

to activity over the decades in the vicinity of the proposed Site, fill has most likely been placed over

certain areas. Please refer to the 2017 Limited Baseline Study/Phase I Environmental Site Assessment

(AECOM, 2017) for details.

The pump station is situated on Federal land under the administration of the Vancouver Fraser Port

Authority. The conveyance alignment crosses Squamish Nation and the District of North Vancouver.

Zoning (i.e. land use) for the pump station and conveyance route includes industrial, commercial and

residential.

The site stratigraphy consists of sedimentary rocks of the Nanaimo group (MFLNRO, 2014). The surficial

geology is Quaternary Post-Glacial Salish Sediments, with lowland and mountain stream deltaic, channel

fill and overbank sediments including medium to coarse gravel and minor sand, up to 15 metres or more

in thickness.

According to Golder’s 2015 Environmental Overview Assessment (Golder, 2015a), the area that encompasses Squamish Nation Lands adjacent to the existing CN Rail right-of-way (i.e. Capilano River

and Lions Gate Bridge to West 1st

Street), has invasive species, that include Himalayan blackberry (Rubus discolor), Scotch Broom (Cytisus scoparius) and dense strands Japanese Knotweed (Fallopia

japonica). Japanese Knotweed is classified as a noxious weed under the BC Weed Control Act.

However, the construction of the proposed pump station located beneath the Lions Gate Bridge will not

necessitate removing vegetation or trees.

The project area is located within the Fraser Lowland Ecosection, included in the Lower Mainland

Ecoregion, which is located within the Coast and Mountains Ecoprovince. They are all encompassed in

the Humid Temperate Ecodomain. The subject site is located within the dry maritime subzone of the

Coastal Western Hemlock (CWH) biogeoclimatic zone, which is characterized by warm dry summers and

moist mild winters with little snowfall. The forests are mostly douglas fir with western hemlock and some

western red cedar. Understory plants include salal, dull Oregon-grape, red huckleberry and various moss

species. Precipitation averages approximately 1200 mm per year, usually falling between October to

March.

Lands surrounding the project site include current and historical industrial and commercial activities, and

reserve land used for residential/commercial activities.

Main access to the Pump Station will come from Bridge Road (District of West Vancouver), which runs

parallel and adjacent to the Lions Gate Bridge at ground level. The road terminates close to the access to

the existing LGWWTP. As part of the project, this road will be extended to the south along the fenceline of

the existing LGWWTP in order to access the pump station. The pump station building will have its own

roadway and access to a loading dock for loading and unloading equipment.

3.0 Contacts and Responsibilities

The effective environmental management of any project requires a coordinated effort from all individuals

involved. The following sections identify the responsibilities of key personnel involved in project

construction.




3.1 Key Project Personnel

A list of project contacts throughout the construction phase of the project is provided below. The contacts

3.2 Environmental Monitor Responsibilities

This section describes the role and responsibilities of the Environmental Monitor (EM) to be performed by

the DB. Monitoring is a key component of ensuring that the recommendations made in the CEMP are

implemented properly and function as intended (e.g. appropriate installation and location of erosion and

sediment control measures, cleanliness of equipment, suitability of secondary containment for fuel

storage).

The primary responsibility of the EM is to ensure that the environmental protection objectives of Metro

Vancouver, Vancouver Fraser Port Authority, and applicable approvals/permits are met by ensuring that




the requirements of this CEMP are adhered to. Environmental monitoring will take place throughout the

construction of the proposed Project to observe, record, and report on the effectiveness of work practices

and mitigation measures. Roles and responsibilities of the EM include:

The EM will monitor compliance with the CEMP. And any other permits or regulations that will apply to

the construction of the pump station.

The EM will communicate the requirements of the CEMP to project members during pre-job and

tailgate meetings.

The EM will be on-site as per the schedule established between parties prior to project start. The EM

will remain on-call during non-critical work periods to respond to emerging environmental issues.

The EM will review the contractor’s work procedures to ensure functionality and compliance with the

CEMP and applicable regulations, standards and BMPs.

The EM has the authority to modify and/or halt any construction activity at any time if deemed

necessary for the protection of the environment.

The EM will advise project members if project activities have caused or are likely to cause an

environmental incident and make recommendations for corrective action.

The EM will liaise directly with project members and provide technical advice for the purpose of

resolving situations that may impact the environment as they arise.

The EM will maintain complete records of activities related to the implementation of the CEMP. This

should include any measurements taken (e.g. pH, turbidity, temperature, and conductivity),

photographs and incident reports.

The EM will collect soil samples from the base and sidewalls of the excavation. They will be sent to a

laboratory for confirmatory analysis.

The EM will complete and submit environmental monitoring reports to Metro Vancouver and regulatory

bodies (if required within permit/approval criteria) and will report any unanticipated adverse

effects to the environment. Such reports should include the nature of the effect, its cause, mitigation

and/or remediation implemented, and whether a work stoppage was ordered, as well photographs,

analyses, and measurements, if applicable.

The EM will become familiar with relevant aspects of the proposed Project as they relate to regulatory

permits, approvals, and project environmental management documentation, including the CEMP.

The EM will verify that copies of spill response plans, emergency procedures, and other applicable

environmental and heritage protection documents are maintained at work sites at all times.

The EM will participate in construction meetings as necessary, including pre-work orientation

meetings.

The EM will ensure that appropriate levels of protection are in place to minimize or prevent effects on

environmental resources.

The EM will participate in project meetings, if required, to ensure that important environmental issues

are brought to the forefront of discussions with other stakeholders.

The EM will provide recommendations to construction personnel to achieve compliance with the

CEMP, component plans, and regulatory approvals in consultation with the Project Manager and

Metro Vancouver representatives.

The EM will carry out on-site monitoring on a frequency appropriate to the sensitivity of the area

where work is being conducted, the activity taking place, and the associated level of risk.

The EM will immediately notify the Construction Supervisors when there is a serious threat to

environmental resources based on the potential actions or direct effects of construction activities. The




compliance team and Construction Supervisors will suspend work if environmental commitments,

BMPs, regulatory approvals, permits, or applicable legislation are not being met; or if a serious threat

to environmental resources is occurring or imminent.

The EM will keep a daily monitoring log and inspection checklist, including any issues identified,

resolution of actions, and recommendations for improvement, as well as collect appropriate

photographs for each site.

The EM will assist in environmental emergency situations to minimize adverse environmental effects,

including notification and documentation.

The EM will, along with the relevant staff, preparing a summary report (including photographs) at the

completion of a phase or section of work. The report will describe the work methodology and provide

a brief summary of the works, including problems that occurred and how they were resolved.

The EM will report to the Project Manager on the effectiveness of mitigation measures being

implemented, difficulties encountered, and how they are managed.

The DB contractor will be responsible for developing a Spill Prevention and Emergency Response Plan in

accordance with Metro Vancouver’s requirements.

3.3 Applicant and Contractor Responsibilities

The delegation of responsibilities between the applicant and DB Contractor will be defined based on the

contractual terms. It is expected that the delegation of responsibilities will include those specified by the

port authority in the CEMP Guidelines:

DB Contractor will take ownership of the CEMP, expand and modify it as necessary without reducing

commitments, finalize it, and review it with construction personnel prior to commencing works.

DB Contractor will review the project CEMP with their staff and sub-contractors prior to commencing

works.

DB Contractor will establish any and all supplemental plans required by the finalized CEMP, and

submit them for review and approval before commencing works to which a plan would apply.

Section 67 of CEAA requires that a federal authority must determine if a project will or will not have a significant adverse environmental effect prior to issuing an approval,

VFPA’s Project Environmental Review process has been established to fulfill this responsibility

Environmental Management Act (EMA), 2004

Ministry of Environment

The EMA provides the framework for addressing environmental contamination and hazardous waste at sites in British Columbia as specified under the Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR) and the Hazardous Waste Regulation (HWR).

The design of the final remedy will need to comply with the requirements outlined in the EMA, CSR and HWR.

BC Environmental Management Act (SBC 2003, c. 53)

BC Ministry of Environment (BCMOE)

The provincial law that governs contaminated soils and soil disposal is the BC Environmental Management Act (SBC 2003, c. 53) (EMA), which came into force in 2004. The two associated regulations that govern contaminated soil disposal under the EMA are the BC Contaminated Site Regulation (BC Reg. 375/96) (CSR) and the BC Hazardous Waste Regulation (BC Reg 63/88) (HWR).

Soils investigations conducted along the Conveyance Route identified areas of contamination. It is anticipated that most of these soils will be managed on-site. However, if these soils cannot be managed on-site and must be removed for disposal on provincial lands, then provincial law will apply.

Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR) updates to Stage 10 Amendment (November 1, 2017)


The CSR and its protocols provide a framework to investigate and remediate contaminated sites in British Columbia. The CSR allows for the establishment of site- specific risk-based management targets. The CSR allows the MoE to provide guidance on requirements for remediation systems and associated monitoring. The CSR defines when “soil relocation” is allowed, as opposed to soil disposal at a regulated facility.

The standards referenced are listed in Schedules 4, 5 and 10 for soil and Schedule 6 and 10 for groundwater.

The CSR allows the MoE to provide monitoring requirements for the remedy, i.e. the need to complete a performance verification plan.

The CSR allows for the MoE to review remedial action plans.

Hazardous Waste Regulation (HWR), (including amendments up to April 1, 2009)


The HWR classifies substances as hazardous wastes if they contain leachable contaminants at concentrations in excess of specified maximum levels utilizing the toxicity characteristic leaching procedure (TCLP), and/or contain total concentrations in excess of specified maximum concentrations, or are a listed waste type.

Soils managed as part of implementation of the final remedy may be classified as hazardous waste and require proper management, transportation and disposal in accordance with the HWR.

Environmental Quality Guidelines (CCME 1999, updated 2008)

Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME)

Defined for soil, sediment and surface water to assess potential chemical impacts. If water meets the EQG guidelines, it is generally accepted that it is not deleterious to fish or fish habitat.

Canada Wide Standards for Petroleum Hydrocarbons (CWS-PHC 2001, updated 2008)

CCME National standards for petroleum hydrocarbons.

Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act (TDGA), 1992 (1992, c. 34); Transportation of Dangerous Goods Regulations (TDGR)

Transport Canada The TDGA regulates the transportation of dangerous goods within Canada and gives additional powers to municipalities to regulate the transportation of dangerous goods within their boundaries.

The TDGR for British Columbia substantially adopt the rules under the federal TDGA.

Excavated contaminated soil may be classified as a dangerous good requiring compliance with the Transportation of Dangerous Goods regulations.

Applicability

Approval or Permit in Place or Requirement Met

Migratory Birds Convention Act (S.C. 1994, c. 22)

ECCC/CWS The Migratory Birds Convention Act has the purposes of protecting and conserving migratory birds, as individuals and populations, and their nests. The Act prohibits killing, injuring, taking, or disturbing migratory birds or damaging, destroying, removing, or disturbing nests of migratory birds without a permit. The Act also prohibits deposit of materials on land or into water that may be harmful to migratory birds.

There are no provisions for issuing a permit that allows for an incidental take, however, all construction activities will be planned to avoid any impact on migratory birds during the nesting season. Either vegetation removal will take place outside the nesting season (April 1 to August 15) or a qualified person will have to survey for active nests the vegetation prior to removal

Species at Risk Act (S.C. 2002, c. 29) (SARA)

Canadian Wildlife Act (Federal)

ECCC/CWS/DFO SARA has the purposes of protecting plant and animal species in Canada that are under threat of being extirpated (no longer exist in the wild in Canada), endangered, or threatened as a result of human activity, and managing species of special concern to prevent them from becoming endangered or threatened. Once a species is listed under SARA, it becomes illegal to kill, harass, capture, or harm it in any way. Critical habitats are also protected from destruction.

SARA is directly applicable to any portion of the proposed Site on federal lands where listed species are identified. If members of listed species are identified, mitigation measures will need to be negotiated with ECCC to minimize effects of the proposed Project. DFO is responsible for aquatic species listed under SARA.

No records of rare or endangered plant or animal species have been identified within the pump station construction area.

5.0 Project Mitigation Measures and Environmental Specifications

As per the CEMP Guidelines, this section describes proposed mitigation measures, guidelines, and

management practices that will be applied for the proposed Project. The level of detail given for each

component has been scaled to the size and complexity of the proposed Project and the potential for

proposed Project-related activities to generate impacts of concern. The CEMP will be updated as details

of the proposed Project change. In particular, the level of detail given under each of these components

will be expanded as the final design is developed as per the CEMP Guidelines.

For each component the CEMP provides a brief introduction to the scope of the plan, the mitigation and

management measures that will be applied, and then the ways in which the plan will be further developed

or revised, including any further measures that will be identified.

5.1 General Practices

The DB Contractor will employ the following general practices:

Ensure all contractors and site managers review this CEMP and the applicable guidelines prior to

each project phase or new activity associated with the proposed Project.

Ensure contractors know how to properly install any protection measures and understand BMPs used

on the proposed Project. Improperly installed measures do not perform their intended functions and

subsequently do not provide environmental protection.

Stockpile, or have readily available, supplies of erosion and sediment control materials as appropriate

on-site, such as rock, gravel, grass seed, silt fencing, staking, polyethylene sheeting, geotextile fabric

or erosion blankets, etc.

Plan and schedule activities associated with the proposed Project for dry weather whenever possible.

Minimize works and equipment travel during periods of heavy precipitation.

Ensure site managers and contractors are prepared to change existing measures and BMPs should

they fail or additional measures are be required. The EM should be notified of any changes to ensure

they are adequate and installed properly.

5.2 Site Access, Mobilization and Laydown Areas

The Site will have various access points along the Conveyance Route. Traffic movement related to

construction and operations will interface with public roads and local traffic, and may create a hazard if

not properly managed.

The DB Contractor will be required to establish access with Metro Vancouver and the Vancouver Fraser

Port Authority’s processes.

The DB Contractor’s site compound is expected to be situated adjacent to the pump station. It will house

DB Contractor offices, lunchrooms, and parking. Additionally, it will also provide the primary laydown area

for construction materials and local fabrication activities.

The following BMPs will be applied as part of the access management component of the CEMP.

A detailed Traffic Management Plan (TMP), including traffic control measures, incident management,

and communications plans, will be developed by the DB Contractor. A preliminary Traffic Impact

Study (AECOM, October 2016) has been included in this application package.

Site compound and laydown area(s) will be established close to the work zones to minimise traffic

between work zones and laydown.



AECOM 17

Stakeholders affected by proposed Project access to the Site will be notified about proposed Project

access requirements and expected road traffic impacts, including from traffic on adjacent public

roads. Notification will be through the processes established by the traffic management

communications plan.

Speed limits will be reviewed and updated, if necessary, on roads within the proposed Project

footprint, with consideration to proposed Project-related road uses and associated hazards.

Signage will be updated to indicate revised speed limits and any other necessary information. Access to

1st Street West and Philip Avenue will be maintained to allow continued access by police and fire crews.

5.3 Air Quality

Air emissions such as vehicle/equipment exhaust, dust and vapours associated with construction related

activities should be minimized and managed to avoid adverse health, safety, nuisance and other

environmental effects on and off-site. Fugitive dust and airborne particulates will be controlled and

minimized by implementing BMPs that include

Dust-generating activities should be minimized as much as possible, especially during windy periods.

Material loads entering or exiting the Site should be covered as appropriate.

No burning of oils, rubber, tires and any other material should take place at the Site.

Stationary emission sources (e.g. portable diesel generators, compressors, etc.) should be used only

as necessary and turned off when not in use.

Equipment and vehicles should be turned off when not in active use.

All equipment, vehicles and stationary emission sources should be well-maintained and used at

optimal loads to minimize emissions.

Dust will be controlled for the duration of the work by using water or an alternate dust suppressant.

Oil will not be used as a dust suppressant.

Environmentally acceptable dust suppressants or water will be used to control dust on access roads,

laydown areas, work areas, and disposal areas.

Speed limits will be applied for mobile diesel equipment, and those limits will be adjusted if required to

reduce generation of fugitive dust emissions.

The time that unpaved surfaces are exposed will be minimized.

Handling of soils and aggregates will be minimized, and double handling of spoil avoided.

Disturbed soils will be compacted where possible, and potential dust sources will be watered or

covered.

Storage piles will be managed by appropriately shaping them, installing enclosures around them, or

covering them.

Drop height from loaders to haul trucks will be minimized at material transfer locations.

Truckloads of fine-grained materials will be covered during hauling.

Activities that create fugitive dust will be reduced during dry and windy conditions.

Mud and dirt track-out from construction sites will be controlled.

Emissions from vehicles, mobile equipment, and generators will be controlled by implementing the

following:

Optimize truck loads to reduce the number of trips between the source and destination.

Maintain fleet vehicles and equipment according to manufacturers’ guidelines.

Operate equipment within load tolerances and ratings and minimize cold starts.

Use modern machinery and commercially available low-sulphur fuels.

Do not burn oils, rubber, tires, or any other material at the site.



AECOM 18

Use stationary emission sources, such as portable diesel generators or compressors, only as

necessary and turn them off when not in use.

Inspect equipment for emission control measures.

Inspect vehicles and equipment on a regular basis and maintain them in good working order.

Perform routine, daily checks of the exhaust system of all equipment to identify actual or potential

deficiencies.

Implement an anti-idling policy for construction equipment and vehicles that conforms with established

port authority policy.

5.4 Noise and Vibration

Noise generation and vibrations resulting from equipment and associated activities during construction is

best addressed through appropriate noise management practices. The contractor is expected to manage

construction-related noise impacts and provide applicable mitigations in a list.

The contractor will be required to abide by the VFPA construction hours that limit: all construction and

physical activities to Monday to Saturday between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. No construction

and physical activities to occur during Sunday or holidays. These hours shall not be modified without prior

approval from the VFPA which can take up to a month to process. Should nighttime work be required

outside these hours, the DB Contractor must contact the VPA to determine whether exceptions are

permitted.

The following BMPs are recommended to minimize noise impacts:

All equipment should be properly maintained to limit noise emissions and fitted with functioning

exhaust and muffler systems. Machinery covers and equipment panels should be well fitted and

remain in place to muffle noise. Bolts and fasteners should be tight to avoid rattling.

Use equipment or processes that have additional noise control features, including high performance

mufflers and enclosures on diesel- or gas-powered equipment or exhaust silencers on air tools;

Avoid unnecessary idling, revving, use of airbrakes and banging of tail gates and front end loader

buckets. Engines should be turned off when not in use or reduced to limited idle.

Schedule construction activities and limit equipment usage times to minimize noise.

The affected community and host municipality should be notified of the nature and likely duration of

any particularly noisy operations that may be forth coming, i.e. frequent truck traffic, pile driving and

when it becomes necessary to work outside of daytime and early evening hours.

Engines should be turned off when not in use or reduced to limited idle (or as appropriate to reduce

air emissions).

Noise monitoring should be considered during particularly noisy activities to ensure the predicted

impacts are not exceeded.

Local residents will be notified of any activities that could be noticeably audible from their residences,

and the duration of any noise, and they will be provided with contact information for making

complaints.

Short-term sessions will be used to reduce noise impacts when high-noise activities are necessary.

Pre-emptive measures, such as temporary noise barriers, will be used during noisier demolition and

construction activities.

Stationary equipment will be positioned to minimize noise whenever possible.

Heavy equipment will be shut down when not in active use whenever practical.



AECOM 19

5.5 Machinery and Equipment

It is expected the contractor will provide a list of all equipment and machinery to be used on Site during

construction, identifying: equipment type, fuel type, year of manufacture, and engine power rating.

Mitigation measures to avoid or minimize impacts resulting from operation and storage of equipment

during construction are provided below. Equipment maintenance on Site is discouraged.

Equipment and machinery should be in good operating condition and maintained free of leaks,

excess oil and grease, invasive species, and noxious weeds. Equipment should be operated at

optimum rated loads and be turned off when not in use to minimize exhaust and noise emissions.

Equipment producing excessive exhaust or noise should be repaired or replaced.

A spill containment kit should be readily accessible both on-site and on each piece of equipment in

the event of a release of a deleterious substance to the environment.

All members of the construction team should be trained in the use of spill containment

equipment/items. Any spill of a substance that is toxic, polluting, or deleterious to aquatic life of

reportable quantities must immediately be reported to the Emergency Management BC Program 24-

hour phone line at 1-800-663-3456 (see section below for Spill Response Plan).

A wide range of machinery and equipment will be used during construction and operation of the proposed

Project. This component of the CEMP is used to help ensure that machinery and equipment are selected

to minimise diesel emissions that they are properly maintained and inspected, and that risks from

spillages of fuel and other hydrocarbons are minimized. A list of all major pieces of equipment and

machinery that are expected to be used on-site during construction will be provided to the port authority

prior to construction.

The BMPs listed below will be applied for machinery and equipment.

The Port’s Non-Road Diesel Emissions program will be complied with to reduce diesel particulate

matter emissions associated with non-road equipment. Permission is required from the Port to

operate Tier 0 or Tier 1 equipment on Port land.

Each piece of equipment will be inspected before mobilization to the site to ensure it is in good

operating order and free of leaks, excess oil and grease, invasive species, and propagules of noxious

weeds.

Preventative maintenance and inspection requirements will be adhered to for each piece of

machinery and equipment.

Spill-containment kits will be held onboard construction equipment, where required.

Machinery and equipment will be refueled in accordance with requirements of the fuel management

component of the CEMP.

5.6 Erosion and Sediment Control

Erosion and sediment control (ESC) begins with managing water on and around the work site to keep

clean water clean and contain dirty water within the work site. Ditching, grading and other measures can

be used to keep the overland flow of clean water from entering the worksite thereby minimizing the

amount of sediment laden water that will have to be managed. The next line of defence is to avoid

erosion followed by proper management of onsite water so that sediment laden water does not leave the

site by overland flow. Soil management must be considered when Site activities include moving soil,

excavating, or placing fill. Contractors are expected to manage soil, surface runoff and disturbed soil

(which may be tracked offsite by equipment and vehicles) during construction. The permit may also

include specific requirements to mitigate impacts associated with erosion and sediment control. Upon

receipt of the permit, the CEMP will be updated to incorporate any such requirements.

Mitigation measures to manage soil, minimize erosion and reduce sediment mobilization include the

following:



AECOM 20

The DB Contractor will develop plan(s) for managing stormwater, minimizing erosion and containing

sediment that take into account the different phases of construction. The appropriate measures for

water management and ESC will be put in place before construction begins and will be modified as

necessary ahead of each new phase of construction.

Contractor should ensure that sediment or sediment-laden waters or other deleterious substances are

not allowed to enter the aquatic environment during construction.

All work and activities at the Site must be carried out such that there is no discharge, either direct or

indirect, of construction waste, excavation waste, overburden, soil, dewatering effluent, oil, grease or

any substances deleterious to aquatic life onto the foreshore or into Burrard Inlet.

Erosion and sediment control materials (such as polyethylene tarps for covering exposed materials,

geotextile fabric or erosion blankets) should be available for use on Site. Construction team members

should be trained in the installation and use of the devices. The EM must review installation and

approve placement and use prior to work beginning.

Construction team members should be prepared to quickly erect measures to minimize sediment

entering receiving waters in the event of unanticipated events. Runoff from the Bridge Road Pump

Station will infiltrate to the ground.

Minimize the area of sediment exposed at any one time by: phasing construction activities; once

construction works are completed, stabilizing any exposed soils as soon as possible using temporary

measures such as mulch, erosion sediment control blankets, hydro-seeding, and/or plastic sheeting

or planting long-term vegetation (if during the appropriate time of year).

Periods of heavy precipitation are possible during the proposed construction schedule. As much as

possible, earthworks should be scheduled to be conducted and completed during dry weather. When

significant wet weather is encountered, then additional measures may be required to minimize

erosion potential.

Control excavation dewatering discharge by using settling areas and sediment mitigation measures,

and/or water treatment systems, in order to manage sediment and erosion potential. This with the

intent of preventing uncontrolled release of sediment or other contaminants and deleterious

substances to surface water bodies and groundwater.

Erosion and sediment control measures should be implemented in accordance with Land

Development Guidelines for the Protection of Aquatic Habitat (DFO, 1993), and General Best

Management Practices.

Erosion control measures should be installed around exposed soils and inlets to the storm water

system.

Preventative measures (e.g. silt fences, straw bales, check dams, interception ditches) ought to be

applied ahead of potential sediment-laden water generated during construction. ESC measures need

to be maintained throughout the duration of construction activities over the course of the project.

Stockpiles and other erodible material should be situated away from drainages and covered when not

in use

Suspend works during intense weather patterns or whenever surface erosion occurs

In addition to implementing all of the above, the Contractor’s Environmental Protection Plan (EPP) needs

to have site specific erosion and sediment control measures taken into account. The parameters of a

sediment control Plan may be subject to approval of excavation and other land-disturbance activities by

the Districts of West and North Vancouver.

5.7 Contaminated Soil and Groundwater Management

During construction, contaminated soil may be encountered. Previous investigations (AECOM 2017,

Limited Baseline Study/Phase I Environmental Site Assessment) suggest that the contamination in soil

includes metals, salinity and some PAHs. Soil Management must be completed with the most current

Contaminated Sites Regulation (CSR) standards (Stage 10 Omnibus amendments, 2017).



AECOM 21

Any activities during which contaminated and suspected contaminated soil will be removed from the

ground will require monitoring by a qualified professional. The qualified professional will:

Monitor excavated soil for visual indications of contamination, such as the presence of black staining,

ash, debris, odours or volatile vapours.

Field screen for volatile vapours by using a portable combustible gas monitor, and field screen for

metals by using an X-ray fluorescence analyzer.

Issue manifests specific to the contaminant type and CSR classification.

Track volumes of soil removed from the Site.

Supervise implementation of BMPs to limit soil migration and off

In addition, potential effects of construction activities should be mitigated to the extent possible. Typically,

mitigation strategies rely on available Best Management Practices (BMP) as well as provincial legislation

and federal guidelines, as follows:

Contaminated soils that are generated during Site activities need to be assessed, remediated and

disposed in compliance with the Stage 10 Omnibus amendments to the Contaminated Sites

Regulation (CSR) under the BC Environmental Management Act.

All contaminated soil shall be covered and disposed of as soon as possible at an approved facility.

Procedures for the management of contaminated soil and groundwater that may be removed or handled

during construction-related activities are as follows:

The Contractor shall provide watertight conveyance for liquid, semi-liquid or saturated solids which

tend to bleed during transport. Liquid loss from transported materials is not permitted, whether being

delivered to construction site or hauled away for disposal. Fluid materials hauled for disposal must be

specifically acceptable at selected disposal site.

The DB may decide to perform a soil investigation and collect soil samples for off-site chemical

analysis.

The Contractor shall be responsible for the capture and off-site storage of all potentially contaminated

site water and shall be required to have a minimum storage capacity of 1880 litres (500 gallons) and

a pump rated for 18.8 litres/min (5 gpm) onsite at all times. The contractor shall not continue further

work once storage is at 80% capacity until sufficient storage is onsite and prepared for immediate

use. The Contractor shall not cause or permit action to occur which would cause an overflow of

contaminated water into to existing waterways.

Groundwater will be managed once the water disposal options are known. At that point, the groundwater

results will be compared to the appropriated guidelines and standards. Therefore it is likely that any water

extracted would need to be assessed and possibly treated prior to discharge.

5.8 Vegetation and Wildlife Management

Contractors must minimize the potential for negative impacts to wildlife and vegetation during

construction-related activities through implementation of mitigation measures such as the following:

Vegetation removal should be minimized as much as possible. Any vegetation to be removed should

be surveyed by an appropriately qualified environmental professional prior to the start of work to

identify any breeding, nesting, roosting or rearing birds and determine appropriate mitigation.

No trees are to be cut down unless shown on the Contract Drawings or designated by the Owner’s

Representative.

The Contractor shall take precautions to prevent damage to existing trees and shrubs, protect

branches and foliage, protect trunks and stems, and prevent machinery from travelling over roots



AECOM 22

within the 'drip-line' of the trees by placing and maintaining snow fencing around each tree outside of

the ‘drip-line’. The Contractor shall not pile excavated material within the ‘drip-line of existing trees.

The following BMPs will be applied as part of terrestrial wildlife and vegetation management component

of the CEMP.

Clearing of vegetation or demolition of structures that could support nesting will be scheduled to take

place outside the bird breeding and fledging period (March 15 to August 15).

If site preparation or demolition is to take place during the bird breeding and fledging period (March

15 to August 15), a nest survey will be conducted to determine whether there are any active nests in

any trees, shrubs, buildings, or other structures. If an active nest is found, it will be left undisturbed

until young have fledged and left the nest.

All construction sites will be maintained free of wildlife attractants such as food, garbage, petroleum

products, or other materials with strong odours. Where garbage containers are required, it will be

ensured that containers are inaccessible to wildlife.

Earth-moving equipment will be cleaned to remove any foreign soil and vegetation prior to entering

the construction site to limit the spread of invasive plant species.

Any surficial material taken from any areas infested with weeds will be covered and the material

stockpiled on-site to avoid the spread of seeds.

Noxious weeds and other invasive plants will be fully removed and properly disposed of, as

appropriate. All noxious weeds and invasive plant species will be disposed of in accordance with the

local municipal Green Waste Program and at a facility equipped to handle invasive plant waste.

After surficial material is taken from an infested area, its movement will be restricted and it will be

covered.

If any areas within the proposed Project footprint result in exposed soils, native vegetation will be used for

site restoration and erosion control, or alternative methods until a permanent method of erosion protection

can be applied.

Some Best Management Practices (BMPs) that should be followed in order to mitigate effects of

construction include:

BMPs for Amphibians and Reptiles in Urban and Rural Environments in British Columbia (MoE,

2004),

BMPs for Raptor Conservation during Urban and Rural Land Development in British Columbia (MoE,

2005); and

Develop with Care: Environmental Guidelines for Urban and Rural Land Development in BC (Draft)

(MoE, 2006).

5.9 Concrete Works and Grouting

Construction activities associated with the proposed Project will require concrete and grouting. It is

expected that concrete will be batched at off-site facilities and transported to the proposed Project site in

mixer trucks.

The following BMPs will be implemented for all cast-in-place concrete works:

Concrete will be poured and grout work conducted in isolation from standing or flowing water.

After placement, fresh concrete or other products containing Portland cement, any water running off

the site will be collected and contained and not released from the work site unless pH and turbidity

levels meet water quality criteria. This procedure will be used for at least 72 hours or until cured, and

for any additional period specified in environmental permits.

An impermeable cover will be used to protect fresh concrete pours from rainfall until the concrete

cures to prevent runoff of concrete-laden water, and use accelerants if appropriate.



AECOM 23

Any open bags of cement mix will be covered to protect them from rain and wind.

Smaller concrete mixers will be placed on tarps, polyethylene sheeting, or some other suitable

ground-protection cover.

Water potentially high in pH and turbidity and flowing from areas where pours and other concrete or

grouting works are recent or ongoing will be contained, the water pH will be tested as warranted, and

concrete-affected water will either be treated prior to release to receiving waters, or removed to an

approved off-site disposal facility.

Appropriate cleanup material for spills of concrete products will be maintained readily available on

site.

Tanks of carbon dioxide (CO2) with regulators and diffusers will be maintained on-site and at a

location available for immediate deployment in the event that there are problems containing water

with elevated pH on site.

Relevant construction personnel will be trained in the use of CO2 for managing spills of water high in

pH.

Washout areas for concrete trucks will be established as far from natural water bodies as possible

and waste water will be contained and treated as necessary. Waste concrete will be collected and

disposed of appropriately

5.10 Archaeological Resources

The general project area is located within the asserted traditional territory of four First Nations groups.

Considerable parts of the project area borders or is located on Squamish Nation lands. An Archeological

Overview Assessment (AOA) completed by Golder (February, 2015) found that the portion of the project

located in the forested area of Capilano IR 5 has archaeological potential. The remainder of the project

area has low potential for the presence of archaeological sites.

A preliminary Archaeological Impact Assessment (AIA) was completed by Golder in March, 2017. No

archaeological materials were identified during the surface inspection and shovel testing; however, the

field assessment method under this study was not adequate to fully evaluate the archaeological potential

of the area. In order to complete the requirements for the Heritage Permit, archaeological monitoring is

required during subsurface activities in construction. If such materials are encountered, work would be

halted and the project stakeholders and appropriate First Nations would be contacted to discuss next

steps.

The following BMPs will be applied as part of the archaeological resources management component of

the CEMP:

Archaeological monitoring will be conducted during any work potentially affecting deposits below

historic fill at the original shoreline. A Chance Find Protocol will be implemented in the unlikely event

that archaeological materials are identified during construction and will include:

– an archaeological monitor to be on site during initial site preparation and any subsequent, deep excavations.

– an archaeologist is to provide awareness training to equipment operators so that they know what artifacts might look like.

– a stop work and notification protocol if potential archaeological resources are identified.

Personnel will be trained on how to recognize archaeological materials and how to implement the Chance

Find Protocol.



AECOM 24

5.11 Sensitive Habitat Features and Species

It is expected that the contractor will have a good understanding of sensitive habitat features and

environmental resources which may be impacted by construction-related activities. BMPs to be employed

in order to mitigate potential effects include, but are not limited to the following:

Construct temporary fencing around Environmentally Valuable resources before starting to clear the

Site.

Post a site map of sensitive features that can be referred to during construction and ensure all

subcontractors and site workers can see it.

Minimize the size of area being cleared for construction and retain as much natural vegetation as

possible and to provide safe access for work vehicles and crews.

The EM has the authority to halt all work if they believe on-site conditions could create impacts on

sensitive species or habitats.


mitigation strategies rely on available Best Management Practices (BMP) as well as provincial and federal

guidelines, as follows, specific to fish and aquatic habitat):

Materials shall be stockpiled in designated areas to prevent their entry into aquatic habitat.

Remove vegetation required to accommodate operational and safety concerns for the crossing

structure and approaches within the right-of-way.

Minimize the potential for contaminants into the environment (in this case, aquatic habitat) by

developing and implementing the Spill and Emergency Response Plan.

5.12 Potential Contaminants of Environmental Concern

Based on various historical reports written for the Site (PGL, 2002; Hemmera, 2014, Golder, 2015a),

various areas of potential environmental concern (APECs) have been identified for the Project area,

which includes the: Bridge Road Pump Station, influent and effluent sewers and forcemain. A summary

of nine APECs along with potential contaminants of concern (PCOCs) are described in Table 3 below:

6.0 Emergency Response

An integral part of effective environmental management during construction-related activities is a

comprehensive emergency response plan, which allows for the rapid response of emergency services

and/or the containment and cleanup of environmental emergencies. The following sections provide an

outline for incorporating an effective response plan into the overall project CEMP.

6.1 Emergency Communication

Clear and rapid communication is essential when dealing with emergencies. The CEMP should include a

communication plan, including contact information for all parties who are responsible for the project, or are

critical to the response or reporting of accidents or environmental emergencies. Table 4 provides a list

of emergency contact numbers which the contractor is expected to update. This table will be finalised with

the details for all organisations involved in emergency response.



AECOM 26

Communications for spill incidents will follow the requirements outlined in Section 6.2. Contact numbers

for spill and any other emergency communications are listed in Table 4.

6.2 Environmental Emergency Plan

An Emergency Response and Spill Contingency Plan should be developed and implemented during

construction activities in order to reduce the risk of incidents associated with storage and handling of

hazardous materials or re-fuelling machinery (Golder, 2015a). The contractors need to develop an

Emergency Response and Spill Contingency Plan tailored to their particular work activities. These Plans

must be consistent with requirements under the Spill Reporting Regulation of the Environmental

Management Act (MOE, 2014). Furthermore, the Emergency Response and Spill Contingency Plan

needs to adhere to the requirements of the Spill Reporting Regulation. In addition, the Plan shall meet

current BC Guidelines for Industry Emergency Response Plans and/or the CSA Z731-03-CAN/CSA

Emergency Preparedness and Response standards.

In the event of an environmental emergency (i.e. spill or leak), the Environmental Emergency Program

(EEP) must be contacted at 1-800-663-3456 (24 hour). Subsequently, as part of the Environmental

Emergency Plan, spills will be reported to the appropriate ministries/agencies. All spills that are reportable

also need to be reported to Metro Vancouver and their Environmental Manager.

The Spill Prevention and Emergency Response Plan shall address the following requirements at the very

least:

Spill Prevention:

Specific instructions on how to reduce the risk of spills.

Equipment refuelling standard procedures following guidance in Section 7.

Storage, handling and labelling of fuels and other hazardous materials. Fuel storage and handling

procedures should be consistent with A Field Guide to Fuel Handling, Transportation and Storage

(MWLAP and MoFR, 2002).

Consider a risk assessment process to recognize potential hazards and minimize fuel spills (as per

Section 7 of A Field Guide to Fuel Handling, Transportation and Storage (MWLAP and MoFR, 2002).

Drip containment measures for fuel dispensing equipment need to be available on site and

underneath the equipment to collect any leaks or spills.



AECOM 27

Monitor all vehicles and equipment daily for leaks. All construction vehicles need to be inspected prior

to arriving on site to ensure no spills or leaks.

Emergency Response Procedure

All spills and environmental incidents must be reported following procedures provided in Section 6.1.

Containment, recovery and cleanup procedures.

Fire prevention and suppression measures.

Medical emergencies and worker safety.

Contact information for persons and organizations to be notified in the event of spills, fires or other

environmental emergencies.

Contractors should identify potential environmental emergencies that may occur while construction is

ongoing. These may include but are not limited to:

Reportable fuel spills.

Sediment laden water leaving the Site or entering a waterbody.

Negative interactions with fish, fish habitat, marine birds, marine mammals, or terrestrial wildlife.

Observation of previously unidentified sensitive environmental features.

The EM should be immediately notified of all environmental emergencies. The EM should assess and

record all incidents and determine appropriate action. All significant emergencies should be reported to

Emergency Management BC (formerly Provincial Emergency Program) and Metro Vancouver/Port’s

Operations Centre.

6.3 Spill Response Plan

A spill response plan is required to guard against the effects of any potential accidental release of

hydrocarbon products (e.g., fuel, oil, hydraulic fluid, etc.) from equipment at the Site. The contractor is

expected to review and understand the spill response plan procedures listed below, in addition, the

contractor is expected to:

Identify any/all hazardous materials/products as well as waste storage and secondary containment at

the Site. Materials Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) should be kept onsite and made available to all

construction team members.

Identify the locations of spill response equipment and materials for containment and cleanup (spill kits

and contents) as well as instruction on how to use them effectively. Locations of product/material

storage and spill kit should be readily identified on a figure or map and posted in an appropriate

location on Site.

Hold a pre-construction meeting to identify all materials of a deleterious nature that could be spilled.

The following represents the minimum scope for contractor spill response/management procedures:

Assess safety – ensure unnecessary people are kept clear of the area and that people with proper

training and equipment deal with the spill. Put on any required personal protective equipment and

consult MSDS.

Stop the source – if required, and when it is safe to do so, stop the spill at its source. This may simply

be righting an overturned container or sealing a hole.

Contain and control the spill – the spill should be prevented from infiltrating into the ground or

entering a waterbody. If the spill occurs on water, booms should be immediately deployed to prevent

its spread.



AECOM 28

Clean up the spill – utilize appropriate absorbent pads or other materials based on the type of

substance spilled. The method of disposing of the waste is dependent on the amount and type of

deleterious substance that was spilled.

Notify appropriate authority – spills of a reportable quantity must be reported to the appropriate

agency. All spills should be immediately reported to the EM.

Record the incident – make a note of what, how and where the incident happened as well as what

was done to clean it up, including the quantity spilled. Depending on the spill, further assessment of

the impact to land and water and/or additional cleanup may be required.

When reporting a spill, the caller should be prepared to provide the dispatcher with the following

information, as accurately as possible:

Name and contact phone number of the person initiating the call.

Name and telephone number of the person who caused the spill.

Location and time of the spill.

Type and quantity of the substance spilled.

Cause and effect of the spill.

Details of action taken or proposed.

Description of the spill location and surrounding area.

Names of agencies/responders on scene.

Names of other persons or agencies advised or to be advised concerning the spill.

The staff responsibilities, reporting of these and other incidents, and the level above which spills must be

reported are also discussed below. The following will be applied as part of the hazardous materials

management component of the CEMP.

Everyone involved at site has the responsibility to take proper action when confronted with a spill.

Depending on the size and nature of the spill, a person may attempt to clean up the spill themselves, but

only if they are trained. A person should ask themselves the following questions:

Are sufficient personnel available to clean up the spill?

Do I know the hazards of the spilled material?

Do I know how to protect myself from those hazards?

Is the spill contained within the building? (Material entering the air, land, or water, or any drain, outlet,

or exhaust fans is not contained.)

If the answer is “NO,” or “I DON’T KNOW,” to any of these questions, then LEAVE THE SPILL ALONE and call Quantum Murray (24 hours) at 1-877-378-7745.

All spills will be reported to the Manager of Safety and Environment, who holds all responsibility for spill

reporting. He or she will determine the need to notify regulatory agencies. If the Manager of Safety and

Environment is not available, the incident will be reported in the following order: VP Operations, then

President and Chief Operating Officer. The Duty Superintendent will notify the government agencies if

none of these individuals are available.



guidelines, as follows :

All spills or leaks must be contained as quickly as possible, cleaned up and reported as per the

requirements of the Emergency Response and Spill Contingency Plan.



AECOM 29

Within the Transport of Dangerous Goods Act, reportable levels for certain substances are listed, which

depends on the material and circumstances. Table provides a breakdown of the substance spilled and

specified amount at which point a spill must be reported.

Table 5: Reportable Levels for Certain Substances (TDGA, 1992)

Substance Spilled Reportable Amount

Flammable, Non-Flammable and Non-Toxic Gases 10 kg

Flammable Liquids 100 L

Toxic or Corrosive Materials 5 kg or 5 L

This DB Contractor shall develop site/activity specific plans for construction activities proposed. These

plans must also meet the requirements of the existing Metro Vancouver Spill Response Plan and the

requirements of this section of the CEMP. The plan shall be continually reviewed by the DB Contractor,

with communications and response processes refined throughout the construction phase.

7.0 Fuel Management Plan

Fuel management is used to minimize the risk of fuels entering the terrestrial or marine management.

Spill response measures are provided in Section 6.2. Fuelling for DB Contractor equipment shall be

managed from the DB Contractor’s site compound. Portable fuelling equipment may be used; however,

fuelling procedures, CSA approved equipment, and BMPs will be required. The fuel tank containment

measures and setbacks from waterbodies for refueling and fuel storage areas will be confirmed prior to

construction. The Contractor shall carry out all refueling in this area only. The cleaning of equipment in

Burrard Inlet and the emptying of fuel, lubricants and pesticides into watercourses is prohibited. Measures

to be incorporated during construction to ensure the receiving environment is adequately protected from

construction-related fuels and products on Site include the following:

Fuel is to be stored in a secure location.

Spill kit along with sand is to be located at the refueling area.

Remove any damaged fuel storage containers from Site immediately.

Check the available capacity in the tank prior to refueling.

Do not jam open a delivery valve.

Check hoses and valves regularly for signs of wear.

Turn off valves after refueling and lock them when not in use.

Position drip trays to catch minor spills.

Provide incident response training to Site personnel.



guidelines, as follows:

Machinery needs to be checked for fuel or other leaks and needs to be working properly. Any

refueling needs to take place at least 30 metres from any body of water as well as on an impervious

surface.

Fuel containers and small fuelled machinery (i.e. pumps, generators) need to be stored within

secondary containment.



AECOM 30

8.0 Waste Management

Waste management is used to minimize waste and avoid any long-term effects on the site through the

construction and operations phases. Waste that may be generated during the lifespan of a project will

include construction wastes, food, and other waste material produced in terrestrial and marine

environments. The contractor is expected to give consideration to the end destination of all products and

materials brought on to Site. This will include hazardous wastes such as fuels and lubricants and their

empty containers following use, as well as used oily rags and used spill kit products, but also non-

hazardous construction wastes and general refuse (wood, cigarette butts, coffee cups, water bottles etc.).

All waste is to be separated and stored in different, labelled containers to be stored on the barge. A list of

best practices can be incorporated into the CEMP, along with a figure identifying specific locations for

waste collection and sorting, as appropriate. Example best practices include:

Contractors are expected to adhere to all applicable legislation with respect to the handling,

transportation, and/or disposal of all materials related to this project (waste or otherwise). These

regulations may include (but not be limited to) the BC Hazardous Waste Regulations, Spill Reporting

Regulations, Workers Compensation Board Regulations, Transportation of Dangerous Goods

Regulations, etc.

Hazardous wastes generated could include waste petroleum products (e.g., engine oils, lubricants,

etc.) from machinery and equipment, spent batteries, solvents and cleaning agents, etc. Contractors

should provide labelled separate container(s) for potentially hazardous waste such as oily rags and

hydrocarbon absorbent pads. All hydrocarbon products and other hazardous wastes potentially

present during project activities should be identified and the associated WHMIS and MSDS made

available to all construction team members.

Construction work that uses concrete, cement mortar, grout and/or other Portland cement or lime-

containing construction materials shall be used in order to ensure that sediments, debris, concrete

and concrete fines are not disposed directly or indirectly, into the environment.

All recyclable or compostable materials should be collected separately from general waste as per

Metro Vancouver Regional District requirements.

Demolition, construction and non-recyclable waste disposal will take place offsite at a licensed

disposal facility.

A detailed Waste Management Plan will be developed by the DB Contractor and will include the following

BMPs:

The DB Contractor will contain all garbage and construction wastes related to the work and dispose

of it at an approved disposal facility in compliance with applicable legislation and regulations of all

authorities having jurisdiction.

Sanitary facilities, in the form of portable toilets, will be provided for the use of workers. Sanitary

facilities will be secured to ensure they do not fall over, and will be located at least 15 m from any

waterbody.

Restrictions will be applied pertaining to the stockpiling of construction wastes in proximity to the

waterbody.

Garbage bins will have lids and be labelled, and recycling containers will be provided for food waste

and recyclable office waste.

A waste minimization policy will be implemented for procurement of construction materials and

services (e.g., request suppliers to minimize packaging).

Site cleanliness (i.e., “good housekeeping”) will be maintained by cleaning up construction debris,

garbage, and other non-hazardous solid waste materials on a regular basis.

Non-hazardous solid waste will be removed for off-site disposal at an appropriate frequency (e.g.,

before on-site containment facilities become overfilled and before garbage become too smelly).



AECOM 31

Food and/or domestic waste will be removed from the construction site daily or, if such waste is to

remain on-site overnight, they will be stored in animal resistant waste receptacles.

Concrete-related waste will be managed according to its characteristics (cured, uncured, washwater).

In the case that batch plants are used, the Concrete Code of Practice will be adhered to.

Key waste management information will be posted at each work site for easy reference.

Site-specific training will be provided on relevant waste management strategies and expectations.

Site security and/or individually secured bins will be implemented to prevent the public from gaining

access to bins and possibly contaminating recyclables (for example, by disposing of their garbage in

recycling bins).

Non-hazardous solid waste material that is discovered in or adjacent to marine water or other

environmentally sensitive areas within the project right-of-way will be removed and disposed of off-

site in compliance with applicable environmental requirements.

Detailed specification of waste management procedures for specific wastes, locations, and work

phases, including specification of how different types of construction wastes will be handled (i.e.,

recycled, reused, disposed of).

Specification of the schedule of regular cleanup and disposal programs to prevent the unnecessary

accumulation of construction wastes.

No wastes will be disposed onsite either thru burying, burning or unregulated discharge to ground. All

waste materials must be disposed of in compliance with applicable municipal and Provincial

regulations.
