| #Q003 | treatment | treatment | mandatory | Routing Surface Water to Settling Pond | other | However, to ensure that surface waters being discharged from the site do not contain elevated levels of total suspended solids (TSS), the water must be directed to a settling pond before being discharged to the environment. | | high |
| #Q004 | prohibition | operational | mandatory | Prohibition of Pollution | other | Therefore, water management and other activities on the property must be carried out in such a manner as to not cause pollution. | | high |
| #Q005 | treatment | treatment | mandatory | Water Treatment System - Contact Water | wastewater | The contact water must, as necessary, be treated, to achieve stringent water quality guidelines, prior to discharge to the settling pond. | | high |
| #Q006 | operational | operational | mandatory | Settling Pond Effluent Discharge Quality | wastewater, other | The settling pond effluent discharge must satisfy stringent water quality guidelines. | | high |
| #Q007 | operational | operational | mandatory | Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures | other | Requires erosion and sedimentation control measures within the soil management and treatment area and the landfill area. | | high |
| #Q008 | operational | operational | mandatory | Storm Water Runoff Diversion | other | Storm water runoff must be diverted away from the soil management and treatment area and all active landfill areas. | | high |
| #Q009 | administrative | reporting | mandatory | Submission of Environmental Procedures Manual | other | Requires submission of an EPM including a Water Management Plan (EPM attached including section 7 Water Management Plan) | | high |
| #Q010 | administrative | reporting | mandatory | Submission of Plans for New Works | other | Requires submission of plans and specifications certified by a qualified professional (as built plans of water management system attached) | | high |
| #Q011 | treatment | treatment | mandatory | Routing and Treatment of Contact Water | wastewater | Water is collected and routed to the water treatment system and, as necessary, treated, to achieve stringent water quality guidelines, prior to discharge to the settling pond. | | high |
| #Q012 | operational | operational | mandatory | Diversion and Collection of Non-Contact Surface Runoff | other | Water within the active pit and in active working areas around the pit, is diverted away from the SMA and active encapsulation cells. This water is considered 'non-contact' water. It is collected in the Settling Pond to remove sediment and allow verification of chemical quality. | | high |
| #Q013 | monitoring | operational | mandatory | Protection and Monitoring of Undisturbed Areas | other | Undisturbed and ancillary areas (such as the east side of Shawnigan Creek) will be protected and monitored to prevent sedimentation and minimize disturbance of natural stormwater flow and infiltration. | | high |
| #Q014 | corrective_action | operational | mandatory | Installation of Shallow Interception Trenches | other | If other site monitoring indicated a need at any time in the future, shallow interception trenches would be installed to intercept and collect this drainage (from Water Management Plan section 7.6). | If other site monitoring indicated a need at any time in the future | high |
| #Q015 | monitoring | operational | mandatory | Groundwater Monitoring Requirement | other | However, groundwater monitoring requirements are in place to ensure protection of groundwater. | | high |
| #Q016 | operational | operational | mandatory | Management of Drainage in Undeveloped Areas | other | Surface water in undeveloped and ancillary areas of the site, such as the vegetated areas on the backsides of the pit crest and abutting the conservation easement, as well as east of Shawnigan Creek, including the parking lot, is monitored and managed by reinforcement of existing drainage paths with stilling pools, gravel check dams, woody debris and similar features to prevent sedimentation and promote vegetation. | | high |
| #Q017 | treatment | treatment | mandatory | Water Treatment System - Contact Water | wastewater | The contact water must, as necessary, be treated, to achieve stringent water quality guidelines, prior to discharge to the settling pond. | | high |
| #Q018 | operational | operational | mandatory | Erosion and Sedimentation Control Measures | other | Requires erosion and sedimentation control measures within the soil management and treatment area and the landfill area. | | high |
| #Q019 | administrative | reporting | mandatory | Submission of Environmental Procedures Manual | other | Requires submission of an EPM including a Water Management Plan (EPM attached including section 7 Water Management Plan) | | high |
| #Q020 | corrective_action | operational | mandatory | Installation of Shallow Interception Trenches | other | If other site monitoring indicated a need at any time in the future, shallow interception trenches would be installed to intercept and collect this drainage (from Water Management Plan section 7.6). | If other site monitoring indicated a need at any time in the future | high |
