Fraser River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop FRPSI is linked to the MapInfo GIS software which allows the sites to be displayed on 1:250,000 scale digitized maps of the Fraser basin. The database is updated continually as Permit Amendments and new Permits are referred to the Pollution Abatement Division. Date-stamped copies of the data files are archived to allow future comparisons of permitted discharges. FRPSI is programmed in FoxPro for DOS and a diskette containing a noneditable version is mailed on request to interested parties. To address the last objective, namely the reduction of environmentally disruptive industrial effluent discharges by 30% to meet environmental quality objectives, a number of pollution prevention (P2) and best management practices (BMP) were developed. Initially, a reference workbook, complete with planning worksheets, was developed to provide engineering consultants with guidance to develop industrial sector-specific guides for the preparation of pollution prevention guides. The industrial sector-specific guides are designed to provide background information on manufacturing processes, waste characteristics and to recommend pollution prevention techniques. Completed P2 guides were distributed to industry with the suggestion that they be used as a tool by individual companies to develop facility-specific pollution prevention plans. A number of industrial sectors were identified in British Columbia for which pollution prevention guidelines could be developed. They were: • Sawmill • Dry Bulk Terminal • Fish Processing • Wood Preservation • Shipyard • Meat Processing • Auto Recycling • Petroleum Terminal • Fruit and Vegetable Processing • Foundry • Chlor-alkali • Feed Mill • Sand & Gravel • Sodium Chlorate • Abattoir • Metal Smelter • Chemical • Dairy • Scrap Metal • Sugar • Winery • Cement • Ready-Mix • Brewery The following guides have been produced as a part of the Fraser River Action Plan Industrial Discharges Program: 1. Ready Mix Concrete Industry - Environmental Code of Practice; 2. Guide for Best Management Practices for B.C. Dry Bulk Terminals; 3. A Practical Manual of Waste Treatment for Small Metal Finishing Operators; 4. A Review of Stormwater Management Practices at Petroleum Product Bulk Terminals; 5. Guide for Best Management Practices for Process Water Management at Fish Processing Plants in British Columbia; 6. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for Fish Processing Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin; 7. Reference Workbook: Pollution Prevention Plans; 8. Best Management Practices for Ship and Boat Building and Repair Industry in B.C.; and, 9. Best Management Practices for Marina and Small Boatyards in B.C. The following are guides which are under final review: 1. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Fruit and Vegetable Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin; 2. Guide for Stormwater Best Management Practices for Selected Industrial Sectors in the Lower Fraser Basin; Page 8
Fraser River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop 3. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for Ready Mix Concrete Operations; and, 4. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Automotive Recycling Industry in B.C. Lastly, the following is a list of guides under development and expected to be completed by April 1996: 1. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Dairy Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin; 2. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Asphalt Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin; 3. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Foundry Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin; and, 4. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Brewery and Winery Operations in the Lower Fraser Basin. In the absence of an industrial sector-specific guide, the pollution prevention reference workbook may also be used to provide a generic basis for the development of facility pollution prevention plans. In summary, FPAO has analyzed pollution sources, developed pollution abatement tools and methods to evaluate the progress of pollution mitigative measures on the Fraser River. The next step in the Industrial Discharges program is to facilitate pollution abatement actions. In order to facilitate pollution abatement actions the Industrial Discharges program is aiming to build better relationships with industry and other governments or government departments. Through stronger relationships with industry and the private sector a better understanding of industry interests, coupled with government initiatives, will lead to an increased willingness to implement pollution abatement actions. An additional incentive to industry, as well as other governments, to implement pollution curtailing measures is the FRAP Cost-Sharing Agreement. Under the agreement, FRAP is willing to fund up to 50%, to a maximum of $35,000, of pollution prevention project costs. Projects that will be considered for cost-sharing must be implemented and applicable to more than one site in the Fraser basin. Pollution abatement projects may include the implementation of pollution prevention plans, best available technologies, and technical education programs with a focus on pollution prevention. Efforts to maintain and build relationships with industry should be encouraged following the end of FRAP. A strong relationship with continuing technical advice will keep the pollution prevention initiative active in years to come. Furthermore, information stored in Envirodat as well as FRPSI should be maintained to track pollutant loadings to the Fraser and will also provide valuable data in future decision-making processes.
