BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

1.0 INTRODUCTION
The BURNCO Aggregate Project (the “Project”) is located on a flat, glacial fan-delta deposit comprising sand and
gravel on the west shore of Howe Sound in Thornbrough Channel, north of Gambier Island. The Project is located
approximately 22 kilometres (km) west-southwest of Squamish and 35 km northwest of Vancouver (Figure 1), with
geographic coordinates of 49° 34’ 00”N, 123°23’ 20”W. Detailed Project description and plans can be found in the
BURNCO Aggregate Project Description report (Golder 2011).

This Erosion and Sediment Control Plan (ESCP) addresses recommendations in the Joint Application Information
Requirements for Mines Act and Environmental Management Act Permit and Technical Guidance 3 of the
Environmental Management Act (BC Ministry of Energy and Mines [MEM] and BC Ministry of Environment [MoE]
2014, BC MoE 2015).

The purpose of this ESCP is to present strategies and measures for the prevention of erosion and subsequent
sediment transport during the surface preparation, construction, operation and closure phases of the Project.
This includes plans for the mine site, access roads and utility corridors.

2.0 SCOPE
This document provides an overview of best management practices, site conditions and Project overview, areas
susceptible to erosion and sediment transport, proposed erosion and sediment control measures and structure
locations, ESCP implementation, and applicable monitoring plans. This report does not does not include detailed
discussion on the marine environment and proposed barge loading facilities.

With surface soil reclamation for habitat and ecosystem restoration, and a fresh water lake proposed for the pit
area after closure; the average annual soil loss rates under natural and undisturbed conditions for the site will not
vary considerably from post disturbance conditions. Therefore, a detailed soil loss and sediment yield prediction
using the Revised Universal Soil Loss Equation for Application in Canada (RUSLEFAC) was not conducted for
this assessment.

3.0 SITE CONDITIONS


The following information has been summarized from existing Golder reports (Golder 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016).

3.1 Physiographic and Geologic Setting


The Project Area is located on a generally flat, unconsolidated sand and gravel fan-delta near sea level
(10 to 50 metres [m] above sea level [asl]). The fan-delta is located at the mouth of a glaciated coastal mountain
valley that terminates on the northern shore of the Howe Sound fjord. The Project Area is located west of
McNab Creek, the active stream that transects the fan-delta.

Bedrock of the Coast Plutonic Complex underlies the valley area and is composed mainly of granitic type rocks.
The buried bedrock surface is likely to be undulating and irregular, with the thickness of the overlying sediments
ranging between about 50 to 100 m (Golder 2011).

BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

3.2 Soils, Vegetation and Climate


Soils Project Area are assumed to be Capilano and Delta, and possibly in small areas, Banford soils (Golder 2016).
Capilano and Delta soils are noted as fine to coarse textured deltas and glacial outwash deposits that are well to
rapidly drained and varying from non-stony to excessively stony. Branford soils are comprised of organic material
floodplains; it is likely that any existing organic materials have already been heavily disturbed. Soils within the
Project Area have been rated as Fair to Poor for reclamation suitability (Golder 2016a).

The Project is located in the Coastal Western Hemlock very wet maritime biogeoclimatic zone, submontane
(CWHvm1) variant (Golder 2011). The area consists of a wet climate, with cool summers and mild winters with
relatively little snow and a prolonged moderate temperature growing period. Precipitation is predominantly rain,
with occasional snowfall.

3.3 Key Watercourses


The Project site comprises a portion of the McNab Creek valley and watershed which contains several
watercourses that flow into the marine foreshore of the Project Area. Three watercourses are located near the
Project boundary and include: McNab Creek, Harlequin Creek, and a small ephemeral watercourse (WC5).

The lower 1 km reach of the McNab Creek is located between 50 and 200 m north and northeast of the Project
boundary. The fish-bearing stream has a low-gradient channel dominated by gravel and cobble bars. This lower
reach was deemed to have a Moderate to High risk of avulsion; setbacks and training berms (flood control) were
recommend in previous studies (Golder 2013) and have been applied to the Project.

The fish bearing Harlequin Creek flows eastward towards the western Project boundary before turning and flowing
south toward Howe Sound along the west side of an existing logging road (Figure 2). The stream flows under the
logging road bridge a short distance upstream from its mouth on Howe Sound.

Another small, ephemeral unnamed watercourse (WC5) flows through an existing cutblock immediately north of
Harlequin Creek. This stream flows into an interception ditch along an existing road, and eventually drains into the
marine foreshore of the site (Figure 2). The watercourse was noted as potentially being fish bearing, experiencing
limited flows during summer months.

4.0 PROPOSED PROJECT OVERVIEW


4.1 Project Description
The Project has three general stages: construction, including surface site preparation; operations
(aggregate extraction and processing and progressive reclamation) and mine closure. Project components
comprise the aggregate pit area, a processing area, constructed berms along the northern and southern Property
boundaries and along the processing area, and a barge-loading facility (Figure 2). All components of the Project
will be outside of existing riparian areas and mature forest stands, and will not encompass any natural
watercourses.

The proposed sand and gravel aggregate pit development is located within a 70 hectare [ha] clearcut that was
logged between 2002 and 2004 (Figure 2). As proposed sand and gravel extraction proceeds through the Project’s
life span, soil will be salvaged and stockpiled in designated Soil Deposit Areas Figure 2). This material will be
combined with the inorganic fines extracted during processing, and will be used for future site reclamation
(Golder 2016a).

The processing area will be located in cleared areas near existing warehouses and land-based log sorting areas
south of a BC Hydro right-of way (RoW). The sorted aggregate products will be conveyed from the processing
area to barges via a barge-loading facility located within an existing foreshore lease and log dump area at the
southwest corner of the Property (Figure 2). An existing gravel road along western side of the valley will be utilized
as a haul road during all phases of the Project (Figure 2). BURNCO has no plans to improve the direct road access
to the site.

To address extreme high flow and accommodate the 1 in 200 year return period for McNab Creek, the
McNab Creek Flood Protection Dyke construction is proposed to the north of the pit and the Pit Lake Containment
Berm to the south of the pit (Golder 2010). Fines produced during processing will be transported from the
Processing Area to the northern portion of the Project property, and stockpiles in the Fines Storage Area alongside
of the northern flood control berm. A Processing Area Dirt Berm will also be constructed along the Property
boundary of the processing area (Figure 2).

Final site reclamation will include development of a ground- and surface water-fed pit lake and Pit Lake
Containment Berm and landscape re-contouring and revegetating as per Project habitat and ecosystem
recommendations.

4.2 Water Management Plans


Water management plans for the Project are summarized below and are based on existing surface water and
hydrologic and hydraulic characterization reports (Golder 2010).

The surficial soils are highly permeable; the primary approach to stormwater management is collection and
infiltration. No point source discharges of surface water are proposed. Within the processing area, water will be
recycled from settling ponds; processing water will not be discharged. A backup stormwater management system
will include a pumping system which will convey excess storm water to either the aggregate washing system or
into the pit lake.

BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

Surface water runoff from slopes above the western portion of the Project Area will be collected in the existing
ditch and will not reach the soil management sites. Runoff on-site will be directed away from the stockpile, dyke
and berm areas and collected within the Project Area. Excess stormwater will be directed to the aggregate washing
system or into the pit lake (Golder 2016).

5.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL


5.1 Erosion and Sediment Sources
5.1.1 Soil Erosion Susceptibility
Potential sources of erodible soils include: areas cleared during surface preparation (i.e., clearing and grubbing);
salvaged soils used for dyke and berm construction, and stockpiled soils generated during construction and
operational stages. Existing roads outside of and adjacent to the western Project boundary may also be prone to
erosion due to increased traffic. The associated ditch that will convey diverted flow from the ephemeral
watercourse may be subject to erosion during storm events

Soils are coarse textured and will be susceptible to erosion by water but will have relatively low potential for
sediment transport. Fine textured soils will be produced during processing of the aggregate but and will be
managed to reduce erosion potential as discussed in the Project Reclamation and Effective Closure Plan
(Golder 2016). It is expected that standard sediment control practices will effectively limit transport of the majority
of any entrained sediment.

Segregated fines produced in the Processing Area will be susceptible to both water and wind erosion; with a high
potential for sediment transport. Produced fines will be subject to separate handling and storage processes with
storage areas designed to mitigate erosion and sediment transport.

Stockpiled soils and constructed berms may take a number of years to regain characteristics required to support
the targeted post closure ecosystems. Potential consequences of soil erosion include loss of growing medium for
end land use objectives, and sediment transport to sensitive receptors.

Any significant erosion caused by traffic on the existing road could potentially introduce sediment into adjacent
ditches and watercourses. Traffic along the road will be limited to vehicles accessing the site during
construction/closure, and during operations transporting salvaged soil from the Processing Area
(fines management) and aggregate pit areas. Ditches and watercourses will require erosion control measure to
mitigate potential road use erosion, or accidental haul truck material loss.

5.1.2 Critical Areas


Critical areas with sensitive receptors include the existing haul road crossings of watercourse WC5, an
approximately 200 m section of haul road that lies immediately adjacent to the lower reach of Harlequin Creek
(across from Processing Area), and Property boundaries adjacent to mature second growth forests along
McNab Creek and the existing BC Hydro Right of Way (Figure 2).

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

5.2 Best Management Practices


Erosion and Sediment control Best Management Practices (BMPs) are intended to reduce erosion by stabilizing
exposed soil or reducing surface runoff flow velocity and to mitigate sediment transport to sensitive receptors
(BC Ministry of Energy and Mines, Volume I and II 2002). BMPs guide effective management of surface water and
sediment runoff by:

 Limiting land disturbance, where possible;

 Avoiding sediment entrainment by isolating and/or diverting surface water from disturbed areas;

 Reducing water velocities across the ground (e.g., surface roughening and re-contouring specifically in wet
areas);

 Preventing rill erosion of steep slopes by utilizing cover practices (e.g., mulch, matting);

 Protecting natural drainages and ditches connected to sensitive receptors (e.g., check dams, sediment traps,
armouring channels);

 Constructing BMP protective works downslope of disturbed sites and along the toe of bank above high water
mark (e.g., silt fencing); and,

 Progressively rehabilitating disturbed land and restricting access to rehabilitated areas.

Erosion and sediment control strategies are associated with earthworks, steep slopes, works in and near
watercourses, road and ditch maintenance, and weather shutdown guidelines. All earthworks, including hauling
along existing road, should be carried out under dry conditions. If earthworks must be conducted under wet
conditions, work should be restricted to areas that will not increase sediment erosion and sites should be assessed
for properly functioning structures and back up erosion control measures as required. Descriptions of planned
BMPs actions and control measures for the above noted site activities are provided below.

5.2.1 Surface Roughening / Re-contouring


On-site grade reworking will be conducted during dry conditions to minimize erosion potential. Ground reworking
will provide short term or semi-permeant erosion control for bare soil and where vegetation cover has yet to be
established. Surface roughening methods, such as track walking, will allow for an increase of surface water
infiltration, help reduce erosion, and support vegetative cover by providing more favorable moisture conditions and
helping seed germination. Re-contouring creates shorter slope lengths and creates small troughs or irregular
surfaces that can reduce surface flow velocity. Earthworks are typically carried out by a tracked machine with an
appropriately experienced operator.

BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

5.2.2 Vegetation and Stabilizing Covers


Natural and synthetic slope covers aid with erosion control and vegetation management on-site.

5.2.2.1 Mulches
Mulches are a protective layer of plant residue (e.g., straw, wood/brush fibre and chips, bark) or inorganic material
(e.g., chemical based). Mulches provide temporary erosion protection in areas awaiting grading works or
revegetation (United States Environmental Protection Agency (US EPA) 1976). Mulches conserve soil moisture,
insulate soil, dissipate energy from rain drops, and can suppress week growth. Material used for mulching must
be clean of potential contaminants (e.g., undesirable seed species, chemicals used for wood processing).

5.2.2.2 Other Erosion Control Covers


Erosion control revegetation matting (ECRM) and geosynthetic sheets can be used to cover non-vegetated slopes
along the dyke and berms in addition to or in place of mulching if mulching is unsuccessful. The covers should be
fitted to the groomed ground surface and anchored with stakes or rocks (Ministry of Transportation and Highways
1997).

5.2.3 Check Dams and Ditch Armouring


BMPs for ditches include installation of check dams, channel armouring, and adequate connectivity to sediment
pools. Check dams are small temporary rock dams that will be placed along the existing ditch. Check dams act to
reduce flow velocities, encourage sediment settling and provide temporary storage of sediment. Armouring ditches
(e.g., with riprap or channel liners) where bank or channel erosion is likely will also aid in dissipating energy and
sediment transport potential. Check dams and armouring are long term erosion control structures that require
regular inspection.

5.2.4 Silt Fencing


Silt fence will be installed as perimeter barriers along outer Project boundaries and along the edge of the existing
road along Harlequin Creek – (across from the Processing area). Silt fences are temporary barriers constructed
of geotextile fabric supported by posts anchored in the ground. The fabric is keyed into the underlying soil between
the posts. Silt fences are typically placed at catch points along toe of slopes, and along the toe of bank of
watercourses. Placement allows for maximizing ponding and settlement of sediment. These structures limit
sediment transport by filtering sediment from sediment laden runoff.

Where sediment volume is greater than 30% behind silt fences, capacity should be addressed and cleaning carried
out as required. Silt fencing requires regular inspection and will be phased out as dyke and berm slopes stabilize
with vegetation.

BMPs for ESCP Implementation and Monitoring are discussed in Section 7.0.

EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

5.2.5 Temporary Sediment Traps


As a backup measure, sediment traps may be required upslope of road crossings along at Harlequin Creek and
the WC5 watercourse. Sediment traps are small temporary basins created by excavation or construction of an
embankment that intercept and temporarily retain sediment laden runoff in order to facilitate sediment settling (US
EPA 1976). General BMP design criteria for sediment traps are listed below; and are modified from sediment
trap/pool guidelines (BC MoE 2001, 2011, 2015; BC Ministry of Forests [MOF] 2002, 2012; US EPA 1976):

 Located in area to obtain maximum storage, facilitate clear out and disposes of trapped sediment to minimize
construction interference;

 Designed as a minimum to withstand a 1 in 200-year flood event;

 Trap allowed to fill with sediment to 50% of its effective depth with 1.5 m minimum depth of trap liquid above
sediment;

 An energy dissipater should be located at inlet;

 Outlet/discharge should be armoured; and,

 Include suitable monitoring plans.

6.0 PROPOSED EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL MEASURES


The following sections describe the Project activities and measures to be implemented for erosion and sediment
control. Activities and erosion control measures are discussed for each stage of the Project: construction including
surface preparation, operation, and reclamation and closure (to meet end land use objectives).

Figure 2 presents an overview of proposed erosion and sediment control measures for surface preparation,
construction and operation activities. Figure 3 provides an overview of erosion and sediment control measures for
closure and post closure activities.

Erosion and sediment control measures will be installed prior to surface preparation, maintained throughout
construction and operations, and monitored following closure. Monitoring plans are discussed in Sections 7.0 and
8.0.

BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

6.1 Construction
6.1.1 Surface Preparation
Prior to initiation of site preparation, the limits of clearing will be clearly demarcated with snow fencing or similar
material. Site preparation will include grading, dyke and berm construction, compaction and placing of gravel base
within the Project Area and limited improvements to existing access roads and infrastructure. Wet weather
shutdown guidelines will be established at the outset and clearing and grubbing activities will be halted based on
these guidelines.

Where clearing limits coincides with Project boundaries and in areas of mature second growth forests along
McNab Creek and the BC Hydro Right of Way, temporary bales composed of straw and clear brush material will
be placed across the bases of berms and preliminary soil stockpiles to intercept sediment with increased flow
velocities. Once dyke and berm construction has commenced, silt fencing will be installed along the base of the
northern dyke and southern berms. Based on initial inspections (see Section 7.1), silt fencing may be required
along the eastern Property Area between the two berms.

Any earthworks to take place near streams WC5 and Harlequin Creek will be preceded by installation of temporary
silt fencing and gravel berms (where feasible) along the length of the road. Check dams may be installed if
temporary measures are not trapping eroded sediment. If in-stream works are required (e.g., culvert replacement
or repair), the work should be undertaken during low flow periods and may require temporary flow diversion.

With respect to road use, where runoff from main roads has the potential to transport sediment to sensitive areas,
riparian areas will be maintained, and check dams will be installed at appropriate intervals along the existing
north-south access road ditch (see Figure 2). All cross-drain culverts and outlets will be armoured with riprap.
If substantial road use erosion and sediment transport is observed, and erosion control measures are not detaining
sediment, the necessity for additional silt fencing or small sediment traps at watercourse crossings may be
required. Specifically, silt fencing should be installed along the length of the ditch from WC5 crossing and north
to the Project boundary area. Also, small scale sediment traps could be installed at the south end of the ditch
immediately upstream of the road crossing of stream WC5, and at the Harlequin Creek crossing along just
southwest of the processing area.

Temporary soil stockpiles created during earthworks and preliminary salvage will be protected from erosion by
covering with straw mulch or erosion control revegetation matting (ECRM’s) or by revegetation.

Report No. 1114220046-579-R-Rev1-10500 11
BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

7.0 EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN IMPLEMENTATION


Implementation of the ESCP will require appropriate training for all operation staff including construction
contractors, and delegation of responsibilities to appropriate qualified environmental technicians.
The environmental technician’s responsibility will be to evaluate and report on the effectiveness of the prescribed
erosion and sediment control measures and strategies. Reports and recommendations will be reviewed and
approved by qualified Project environmental managers.

On-site plans will be reviewed prior to initiation of Project activities, and a scheduling plan for on-site inspections,
sampling, monitoring and reporting will be prepared. Contingency responses for specific site condition triggers will
be provided.

7.1 Inspection, Maintenance, and Monitoring


ESCP measurements will require regular monitoring and inspection to ensure adequate performance.
Inspections will include description of pre-site activity conditions, implementation of erosion and sediment control
measures, monitoring of control measures and records of visual observations. Based on this site monitoring
information, recommendations for maintenance and/or improvements to the erosion and sediment control
structures will be provided in detailed reports (see Section 7.2).

Scheduled weekly inspections will be conducted during surface preparation, construction, operation, and closure
phases. General maintenance procedures include assessing for damaged erosion and sediment control
structures, removing accumulated sediment, and maintaining prescribed vegetation erosion control measures.

Erosion control measurements should be inspected prior to expected storm events. Structures should be
reassessed within 24 hours of storm event, or where greater than 100 mm precipitation is reached within a 24-hour
period (British Columbia Timber Sales [BCTS] 2010).

Critical monitoring sites will be developed immediately upstream and immediately downstream of disturbed areas
in order to compare sediment inputs against background levels.

7.1.1 Surface Preparation and Construction Activities


Prior to surface preparation and construction, the erosion and sediment control structure locations and general
site condition will be assessed. Inspections and monitoring will be conducted during activities and immediately
after control measures have been installed.

Surface preparation and initial construction activities will require regularly scheduled visual inspections and
reporting by qualified technicians as per (BC Ministry of Energy and Mines, Volume I and II 2002). Specifically,
check dams and sediment traps, if needed, will require weekly and monthly inspections and maintenance to ensure
adequate performance. This includes cleaning check dams and sediment traps when 50% capacity is reached,
regular inspection at outlets for evidence or erosion and immediate repairs to any damage.

Report No. 1114220046-579-R-Rev1-10500 12
BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

Inspection and cleaning all of erosion and sediment control measures in anticipation of storm events will be
conducted. Where sediment volume is greater than 30% behind silt fences, capacity should be addressed and
cleaning carried out as required Inspection of silt fences and temporary brush berms at the base of slopes prior to
expected precipitation events and following all significant storm events or periods of extended rain will be
conducted on an event basis.

7.1.2 Operation Activities


Erosion control measures and site conditions will be monitored on a weekly and monthly basis throughout
operations. Increased inspections will be conducted as required by changing site conditions (e.g., severe rains
flooding, culvert blocks, emergency events, spills).

Inspect berm and soil stockpile slopes for development of rills; re-grade/re-contour where possible. For all
revegetation areas monitoring of vegetation growth for rend land use objectives will be required (e.g., seeding,
fertilizing).

Silt fences and sediment traps will be inspected prior to expected precipitation events and following all significant
storm events or periods of extended rain. Sediment accumulation in existing ditches, potential slumping or other
blockages will be addressed.

7.1.3 Closure/Post Closure Activities


Reclamation plans for closure and post closure end land use targets consist of returning Project Area to
pre-disturbance levels with respect to habitats and ecosystems. This includes development of a fresh water pit
lake, landscaping and re-vegetating to provide the end land use objectives.

Vegetation growth for remediation will be assessed on a weekly and then monthly basis, until an established
vegetation/forest cover and structural stage has been approved. Berms will require appropriate vegetation percent
establishment to accommodate slope stabilization.

7.2 Contingency Plans


Contingency plans for the Project will be active and adaptive, with ongoing inspection, maintenance and
re-evaluation for all BMP control measures and surrounding site conditions.

Routine and specific event monitoring will be conducted to identity BMPs/control measures that may not be
functioning adequately. The following steps will be taken:

1) Confirm control measure/feature installed correctly;

2) Assess if appropriate size or length/depth of control method with site circumstances;

3) Determine if alternate BMP/control method required; and,

4) Assess if increased maintenance/inspections required.

Report No. 1114220046-579-R-Rev1-10500 13
BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

Processing area includes segregating fines and stockpiling/storing; maintaining stockpiles, and implementing a
backup storm water management system in the processing area that will include a pumping system which will
convey excess storm water to either the aggregate washing system or into the post closure planned pit lake.
Temporary ditch barriers will be placed along the existing haul road ditch.

In anticipation of a major storm, all erosion and sediment control measures will be inspected and
maintained/repaired in advance of the event. For unforeseen storm events, wet weather shutdown guidelines
will apply.

8.0 ENVIRONMENTAL SAMPLING AND REPORTING


8.1 Sampling
Baseline soil nutrient and metal data for surface soils will be collected prior to surface preparation in accordance
with the Reclamation and Effective Closure Plan (Golder 2016). This information will be used for phased
reclamation planning. Surface water is anticipated to infiltrate into the coarse soils on-site, with no on-site/off-site
drainage anticipated. Therefore, no on-site surface water sampling and analysis is recommended.

Sampling and analysis plans for groundwater resources, surface water quality and fish and fish habitat for adjacent
waterways, including total suspended solids, will be addressed in the pending Project Mine Permit Application.

8.2 Reporting
Reports based on the ESCP will be prepared to document site conditions and provide Project activity summaries
including: progress reports and environmental management efforts, scheduling plans, on-site and external
communications; and upcoming activities. Appropriate data collection and information management systems will
be utilized. Detailed site notes, photographs and accurate location of inspection sites will be recorded. Both
progressive reporting and annual reports will be provided as noted below:

Progressive Erosion and Sediment Control reports will be completed on a weekly/monthly basis, and when site
specific events occur (e.g., severe storm events). Progressive Reports will outline the following:

 On-site plan reviews;

 On-site inspections;

 Communications/training strategy for all contractors and mining operations staff to ensure knowledge of
ESCP;

 Construction scheduling and activities;

 Ongoing environmental management efforts, with specific corrective issues and resolutions;

 Type and location of samples collected;

 Incident reports; and,

 Contingency reports.

BURNCO AGGREGATE PROJECT, HOWE SOUND, BC -
EROSION AND SEDIMENT CONTROL PLAN

Annual Reports will provide activity summaries for:

 Sampling and laboratory analysis results for soil and water;

 Maintenance activities;

 Inspection results (including daily logs of site conditions);

 Assessment of effectiveness of BMPs based on sampling results;

 Unauthorized discharge (spill or emergency); and,

 Post closure effectiveness reports.

Responsibilities of the qualified environmental technicians and specialists are to inspect work areas and activities
for compliance and provide appropriate reports identifying and assessing actual and potential issues regarding
erosion and sedimentation. All reports should be checked by qualified environmental supervisor for QA/QC
purposes. Reporting will include recommendations for additional prevention and mitigation measures, and
implementation of action and response plans for erosion and sediment control.
