Omega Comes Out Top Dog in Photo Contest
The British Columbia Environment Industry Association’s fifth annual “Members at Work” photo contest
received plenty of high-quality submissions from amateur photographers within its membership.
The images encompassed a wide range of topics and had to be captured while completing work in the
environmental industry throughout 2017.
The association extends sincere congratulations to those who nabbed first, second, and third places this time
around and encourages everyone to keep an artistic eye out for that perfect shot for the next photo contest!

located to their other facilities. As part of
this process, Tervita successfully salvaged
a 7,000-gallon titanium powder tank with
top-mounted electric motors and internal
mixing shafts, an 18-foot tall mixing mill
with a 10-tonne hydraulic agitator, and a
five-tonne mixing mill with mixing shafts
set in the concrete of the suspended
second floor mezzanine. Specialized pro-
duction line conveyor systems, including
container fillers, packers, labellers, pal-
letizers, and conveyor belts, were all sal-
vaged, as were the recoverable contents
of a quality assurance laboratory, along
with various pumps, filters, flow meters,
and factory scales. Tervita coordinated the
dissembling and packaging for transport
of all these items to manufacturing plants
across North America.
Challenges and solutions
One of the project challenges was the
removal of larger items due to restricted
space and headroom inside the plant for
cranes and forklifts. Detailed discussion
and meticulous planning ensured that
asset recovery was completed in a safe
manner, that no inadvertent damage oc-
curred, and that the equipment would be
serviceable for reassembly upon reaching
its new destination. Technicians conducted
confined space entry into tanks to secure
mixing arms and motors prior to transport.
In one particular case, one of the mix-
ing mills could not be recovered safely
without causing significant damage to the
surrounding building structure and the
mill itself. Tervita developed an alternate
strategy requiring precise sequencing to
recover this mill during the building demo-
lition process. In total, Tervita successfully
salvaged more than 150 smaller pieces
(less than one tonne) and over 20 larger
pieces (greater than one tonne) of equip-
ment to be transported for redistribution.

• 1,500 tonnes of construction and

• 750 tonnes of cinder block;
• 650 tonnes of ferrous metal; and
• 500 tonnes of wood debris.
The final demolition stage involved
the removal of seven underground stor-
age tanks ranging from 2,000 to 5,000
gallons in size. These were flushed and
emptied using Tervita’s vacuum trucks.
Once the tanks were purged, they were
removed from the ground and processed
for recycling.
Outcome
Tervita provided project planning, gen-
eral contracting management, waste seg-
regation, efficient asset recovery, cost-effec-
tive demolition, and responsible remedia-
tion during this project. Tervita’s integrated
service lines and subcontractor network
provided a turnkey solution to meet the
client’s needs. Excellent communication
and commitment to health, safety, and the
environment ensured project completion
to the satisfaction of all stakeholders with
zero recordable incidents.

If You Build
It, They Will
Come: Civil
Disobedience
and Natural
Resource
Development
C
By Dionysios (Dino) Rossi & Luke Dineley, Borden Ladner Gervais LLP
Civil disobedience in the face of natural
resource development has a long his-
tory on the West Coast. In recent years,
the focus of such activities has been
major energy projects. Absent violence
or threats to public safety, the criminal
justice system will generally not inter-
vene to prohibit civil disobedience. It is
therefore left to private parties to seek
compliance with the law by bringing a
civil lawsuit against protestors, obtain-
ing an injunction, and then requesting
that the court require police interven-
tion to enforce the injunction.
Because an injunction has emerged as
the only practical remedy available to proj-
ect proponents who may be impacted by
civil disobedience, the procedural require-
through activities such as blockades, the
occupation of private property, and, oc-
casionally, assault. Often this unlawful
action prevents lawful activity from tak-
ing place. Where this occurs, it is nec-
essary to obtain an injunction from the
courts prohibiting the unlawful conduct.
Acts of civil disobedience in the face
of resource development typically con-
stitute violations of various provisions
of the Criminal Code. While there have
been occasions when law enforcement
has independently intervened and made
arrests, these are exceptions to the rule.
Typically, law enforcement agencies
have adopted policies of not arresting
individuals for engaging in acts of civil
disobedience unless there have been
litigant assembles its materials for an
injunction application; the process is
not “criminalized”; and proceeding in
this manner allows the police to remain
“neutral.”
Historically, courts have expressed
dissatisfaction with each of these three
rationales. By forcing private parties to
seek civil remedies rather than actually
enforcing the Criminal Code, the burden
of dealing with such problems is inevita-
bly imposed on judges in the civil court
system.
To obtain an injunction, an applicant
is generally required to establish the fol-
lowing:

treatment of water contaminated with
copper and zinc during the excavation
phase of a major infrastructure project.
McCue successfully removed heavy
metals from contaminated ground-
water to meet both provincial and fed-
eral surface water quality standards for
a marine discharge. Strict standards,
particularly for copper and zinc, the
presence of salts (from seawater intru-
sion), and construction activities in the
excavation made the water treatment

The chemical program selectively re-
moved heavy metal ions while permit-
ting sodium and chloride ions to pass
through and be discharged to the mar-
ine environment, resulting in a signifi-
cant cost saving for the property owner
and a significant reduction in the car-

advantage of.
The sixth BEST Conference will take
place from May 9 to 11 at the luxurious
Fairmont Chateau Whistler, which is lo-
cated at the base of Blackcomb Mountain.
LISTEN UP
Keynote Speakers
In addition to informative sessions
from an excellent line-up of industry
professionals, attendees will also enjoy
keynote presentations provided by:
• Dr. Andrew Furey
»» Dr. Andrew Furey was shaken
upon hearing of the devastation
caused by the earthquake that hit
Haiti in 2010, killing over 200,000
people. Haiti was in desperate
need for help, so along with his
wife Dr. Allison, and orthope-
dic surgeon Dr. Will Moores, Dr.
Andrew travelled to Haiti to do
everything possible to help those
affected. Out of this mission,
Team Broken Earth was born. Dr.
Andrew put together a group of
Canadian physicians, nurses, and
physiotherapists to provide aid in
Haiti for the long-term. Over the
www.bceia.com | 2018 21years, Team Broken Earth has ex-
panded across Canada and con-
tinues to help those suffering in
Haiti, and more recently, in other
countries like Nepal, Bangladesh,
Guatemala, and Nicaragua.
• Tania and Martina Halik
»» It took five-and-a-half months and
2,300 kilometres, but they did
it. Martina Halik and her mother
Tania completed a cross-country
ski trip from Squamish to Skag-
way, Alaska, traversing the entire
length of the Coast Mountains.
It’s a feat that has only ever been
accomplished once before. Their
presentation will detail the five-
and-a-half-month-long ski traverse
and will feature their challenges,
close-calls, failures, and successes
throughout the epic adventure.
EXTRA-CURRICULAR
ACTIVITIES
Gear Up for a Refreshing Mountain
Bike Ride
Core6 Environmental has invited BEST
2018 participants to join in on a moun-
tain bike ride on Whistler’s fabulous
trails. The ride will take place at noon on
Wednesday, May 9. The ride will begin
promptly at 12:00 p.m., and the group
will meet in front of the Fairmont Cha-
teau Whistler Hotel and ride from there
to the trail head. You should be comfort-
able riding for two or three hours on tech-
nical single-track trails and have at least
an intermediate level of fitness and bike
handling skills.
Post ride rehydration and re-fueling

Please use common sense and caution
when riding. For more information or to
