<strong>Fraser</strong> River Action Plan 3rd Research Workshop<br />
3. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for Ready Mix Concrete Operations;<br />
<strong>and</strong>,<br />
4. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Automotive Recycling<br />
Industry in B.C.<br />
Lastly, the following is a list of guides under development <strong>and</strong> expected to be completed by April 1996:<br />
1. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Dairy Operations in the<br />
Lower <strong>Fraser</strong> Basin;<br />
2. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Asphalt Operations in the<br />
Lower <strong>Fraser</strong> Basin;<br />
3. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Foundry Operations in the<br />
Lower <strong>Fraser</strong> Basin; <strong>and</strong>,<br />
4. Technical Guide for the Development of Pollution Prevention Plans for the Brewery <strong>and</strong> Winery<br />
Operations in the Lower <strong>Fraser</strong> Basin.<br />
In the absence of an industrial sector-specific guide, the pollution prevention reference workbook may also be<br />
used to provide a generic basis for the development of facility pollution prevention plans.<br />
In summary, FPAO has analyzed pollution sources, developed pollution abatement tools <strong>and</strong> methods to evaluate<br />
the progress of pollution mitigative measures on the <strong>Fraser</strong> River. The next step in the Industrial Discharges<br />
program is to facilitate pollution abatement actions.<br />
In order to facilitate pollution abatement actions the Industrial Discharges program is aiming to build better<br />
relationships with industry <strong>and</strong> other governments or government departments. Through stronger relationships<br />
with industry <strong>and</strong> the private sector a better underst<strong>and</strong>ing of industry interests, coupled with government<br />
initiatives, will lead to an increased willingness to implement pollution abatement actions. An additional<br />
incentive to industry, as well as other governments, to implement pollution curtailing measures is the FRAP<br />
Cost-Sharing Agreement. Under the agreement, FRAP is willing to fund up to 50%, to a maximum of $35,000,<br />
of pollution prevention project costs. Projects that will be considered for cost-sharing must be implemented <strong>and</strong><br />
applicable to more than one site in the <strong>Fraser</strong> basin. Pollution abatement projects may include the<br />
implementation of pollution prevention plans, best available technologies, <strong>and</strong> technical education programs with<br />
a focus on pollution prevention.<br />
Efforts to maintain <strong>and</strong> build relationships with industry should be encouraged following the end of FRAP. A<br />
strong relationship with continuing technical advice will keep the pollution prevention initiative active in years to<br />
come. Furthermore, information stored in Envirodat as well as FRPSI should be maintained to track pollutant<br />
loadings to the <strong>Fraser</strong> <strong>and</strong> will also provide valuable data in future decision-making processes.<br />
