Superceds 2005 Version. This review paper provides information drawn from the Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Act and Regulation that will be of particular interest to pesticide vendors. The IPM Act and Regulation were brought into force on December 31, 2004, replacing the Pesticide Control Act. The IPM Regulation was subsequently amended in December 2015, with new requirements coming into force on July 1, 2016. This legislation sets out requirements for the use and sale of pesticides in British Columbia.
This document presents a lay summary of requirements specified in the IPM Act and Regulation for pesticide vendors. Additional information – including a summary overview, other industry sector reviews of the Act and Regulation and links to application forms and the legislation – can be found on the IPM Program webpage at: www.gov.bc.ca/PestManagement.

Golder Associates Ltd (Golder) is pleased to provide the Regional District Kitimat-Stikine (RDKS) with the results of the 2013 and 2014 groundwater and surface water monitoring program for the pre-development phase of the Forceman Ridge Landfill (the Site). The proposed landfill is located southeast of Lakelse Lake within the Kitimat/Terrace corridor (See Inset 1 on Figure 1). It is transected by Chist Creek Forest Road west-east and Scully Creek Forest Road southwest-northeast, and is located approximately 900 m to the east of Onion Lake (Figure 1). The Study Area is bound by Upper and Lower Clearwater Lakes to the west, Chist Creek to the south/southeast, steep slopes to the east and undeveloped terraced land to the north (Figure 1). The details of the ground water and surface water monitoring program were outlined in our February 2013 proposal entitled "Proposed Forceman Ridge Landfill, Groundwater and Surface Water Monitoring Program-Pre-Development Phase" (Golder, 2013).
The Regional District of Fraser-Fort George (RDFFG) is pleased to submit the following report
entitled "2014 Annual Greenhouse Gas Emission Report" for the greenhouse gas emission
reductions associated with the collection and destruction of landfill gas at the Foothills
Boulevard Regional Landfill and Compost Facility.
The 2014 Annual Greenhouse Gas Emission Report presents the emission reductions
associated with the capture and destruction of landfill gas at the Site from January 1, 2014 to
December 31, 2014.

Sperling Hansen Associates (SHA) was retained by the Regional District ofKitimat-Stikine (RPKS)
to prepare a water quality report for the Thornhill landfill for the 2014 year. Two sampling events
were conducted in May and October in the year 2014. This repmt discusses the analytical results in
the context of water quality monitoring conducted at the site since October 1996. The water quality
monitoring program consisted of groundwater and surface water sampling from a number of sites
around the Thornhill Landfill.
Huckleberry Mine Ltd. (HML) operates a porphyry copper mine located 86 km southwest
of Houston, in northwestern BC. Huckleberry Mine is owned by Mitsubishi Materials
Corporation, Dowa Mining Co. Ltd, Furukawa Co., Marubeni Corporation; and Imperial
Metals Corporation. The mine is located at the southern base of Huckleberry Mountain
and north ofTahtsa Reach, part of the Nechako Reservoir.
Mine site water quality is regulated under the Environmental Management Act effluent
permit PE-14483. The latest amendments are dated October 31, 2013 (Appendix IA);
and November 9, 2013 (Appendix IB) which includes an Approved a Discharge and
Receiving Environment Monitoring Program (ADREMP) (Appendix IC). The ADREMP
specifies locations that must be monitored, the frequency of sampling, the parameters at
each location that need to be reported, and the concentration limits of specific water
quality parameters (Appendix IA, IB and IC).
The purpose of this report is to provide a history of the site, an update on operations; to
identify any exceedances of permitted parameters; and to identify trends in water quality.
Io 2014, there were a total of five permitted effluent discharges from the mine to the
receiving environment including; Tahtsa Reach Outfall (TRO); seven sediment control
ponds (SC-2, SC-3, SC-4, SC-5). Three additional sediment control ponds (SC-6, SC-7
and SC-9) operated under a temporary permit during TMF -3 construction which expired
in August 2013 and currently are managed under a seasonal pump back system, where
excess pond water is pumped to TMF-3 and discharged via the TRO.
Figure I shows discharge and receiving environment water quality sampling stations.
The TRO is the primary discharge for mine effluents for the entire operation including the
East Zone Pit (EZP), Main Zone Optimization (MZO; Tailings Management Facility No.
2 (TMF-2) and Tailings Management Facility No.3 (TMF-3); and the mill and camp site.
Water quality monitoring of these discharges along with the receiving environment are
described in this report. Additional receiving environment water quality results are
presented under separate cover in the 2014 Annual Aguatic Monitoring Report (AAMR)
(Hatfield, 20 15). In addition, information on site reclamation is presented under
separate cover in the 2014 Annual Reclamation, Acid Rock Drainage & Metal Leaching
Assessment Report (HML 2015).

This document updates the water quality objectives for Osoyoos Lake in order to help protect aquatic life, drinking water and recreation, now and into the future. These water quality objectives are proposed on the basis of an assessment of Osoyoos Lake water quality data collected over the past 40 years, and an evaluation of land use changes in the watershed. Nutrients, particularly phosphorus, have decreased in all three basins of the lake, and dissolved oxygen concentrations in the bottom waters of the north basin have increased in the fall. These changes are primarily attributed to decreases in point source nutrient loading to the Okanagan River upstream of Osoyoos Lake. A quantitative assessment of the non-point source nutrient load is not possible with the available data, however decreases in phosphorus load to Osoyoos Lake from septic tanks and other land uses are also likely. Over a multi-decadal time frame, Osoyoos Lake water quality has improved in trophic status from eutrophic to mesotrophic. Importantly, bottom waters of the north basin contain more dissolved oxygen in the fall now than in years past. The Okanagan River discharge, however, strongly affects nutrient concentrations in Osoyoos Lake on a seasonal and interannual basis, and significant internal phosphorus loading continues, particularly in the central and southern basins. As a result, water clarity has shown no change over time. The water quality objectives recommended here, take into account these background conditions and changes in land use. Continued population growth and development within the watershed, in addition to increasing recreational use, will present challenges to water quality protection in the future.

Summary report on British Columbia?s Solid Waste Flow, 2006. Data for this summary report was obtained through regional waste management reports, data from the Statistics Canada Waste Management Industry Survey (WMIS), and numerous other provincial reports. The summary report presents a comprehensive overview of the sources, composition and end fate of solid waste in B.C. Three key sectors are measured: industrial, commercial and institutional (IC&I), construction, renovation and demolition (CR&D) and residential.

The Ministry of Environment's Environmental Emergency Management Program leads the Province's ongoing commitment to prevent, prepare for, mitigate, and respond to spills that effect the environment. The program plays an essential role in protecting both human health and the environmental quality of the province?s water, land, and air resources along with the flora and fauna they contain.

Water quality objectives are site-specific management targets based on an evaluation of historical data and reasonable expectations for a particular water body, as well as consideration of the generic BC and national water quality guidelines, which are safe limits of the physical, chemical, or biological characteristics of water for various uses.
