Project Description

The PMP lies between the gas reserves of the Kotaneelee and the Pointed Mountain fields in the Liard Basin region of south-western NWT (Lane et al., 2001) and was installed in 1972 using open cut trenching across the Kotaneelee River channel. Concrete pipe weights were attached to portions of the pipeline at 4.6m intervals (Landeen and Brandt, 1975). Since that time, the river channel has shifted, resulting in lateral bank erosion and exposing approximately 56 m of pipeline. The entire length of the pipeline at the crossing, both the exposed and buried sections, is approximately 400 m (DES, 2014). 1.3.1

Components

Project components consist of the previously established access ROWs, the existing pig launching site (where SET will install a flange)), as well as any temporary workspaces needed for pipeline removal work at the Kotaneelee River crossing. No wastes will be permanently deposited in the project area as a result of the project activities. Access to the Kotaneelee River crossing will be via three ice bridges; one constructed over the Petitot River, another at the barge crossing over the Liard River, and the third at the Project site on the Kotaneelee River. Crews and equipment will access the barge crossing using an existing approximately 14 km long, Amoco/PMP ROW that originates from the Fort Liard airfield. Once across the Liard River, approximately 23 km of the Amoco/PMP access road ROW will be used to access the PMP Right of Way (ROW). The distance from PMP/Amoco road junction to the Project site is approximately 13 km. Using these existing ROW’s, the route from the Liard River to the Kotaneelee River crossing is approximately 50 km. Crews will travel daily to the worksite from their accommodations at the Acho Horizon open camp situated at km 99 on the Fort Liard highway. The PMP ROW is expected to have seral stage vegetation re-growth and will require clearing. The Amoco road ROW is expected to need snow clearing and possible crossing maintenance prior to its use by Project traffic. Current plans are to have temporary large capacity fuel storage tanks located on a previously disturbed area at the PMP airstrip (located near the Amoco road/PMP ROW junction). It is anticipated that the Kotaneelee Crossing site work will be accommodated within the existing PMP ROW and with the addition of 4 temporary workspaces. Tables 2 and 3 describe site, access and temporary workspace details. Proposed temporary workspace maps and drawings are included in the EPP for this Project. Workspace 1 and 3 will be within the stream channel and a portion of both stream bank riparian areas. Workspace 2 will be located in the north bank riparian area adjacent to the channel. Workspace 4 will be in an upland area approximately 1.4 km from the Kotaneelee River along the PMP ROW. Ice bridge access across Waste Management Plan Prepared by Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd.

July 2015

the Kotaneelee River will also be required in order to execute the pipeline removal. 1.3.2

Timeline

Construction is expected to occur during the winter of 2015/2016, and will take approximately 90 days to complete. A company will be contracted by SET (the Contractor) to execute the pipeline removal, and will be supervised by a SET representative on-site. The Contractor will be responsible for access maintenance, ice-bridge and snow fill construction, and pipeline removal, disturbance reclamation, demobilization and egress. It is estimated that the access maintenance and construction of all ice bridges will take between 25-45 days. The pipeline removal, reclamation, demobilization and egress are estimated at 40 days. These projections are subject to change relative to weather and area conditions. 1.3.3

Sensitivities

Anticipated project area sensitivities, project effects, as well as the mitigation plans and reclamation plan associated with the project, are included in the Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), submitted in support of the MVLWB permit application.

Purpose, Goal and Scope of the Waste Management Plan

This WMP is a supplement to the Project Environmental Protection Plan (EPP), and its purpose is to outline how construction waste will be managed during the access maintenance operations, pipeline removal process, mitigation and reclamation procedures and the egress operations for this project. The goal is to minimize the environmental and social impacts of any wastes and to manage construction waste in compliance within the Territorial regulatory framework. The scope of the WMP comprises all planned works and operations in relation to this project, including: 

Site assessment activities;



Access road maintenance and improvements;

Waste Management Plan Prepared by Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd.

Page 6

Pointed Mt Pipeline Removal



Ice bridge construction;



Construction of temporary workspaces;



Pipeline removal;



Pipeline maintenance procedures;



Reclamation; and



Work site and access egress procedures.

July 2015

The WMP considers different streams of waste. It describes approaches for the disposal of waste materials and actively promotes waste minimization strategies. Proposed Locations for Waste Management Activities

1.6

Because of the temporary duration and nature of the project, no designated waste facilities are required; however, there is potential for wastes to be generated at any of the project staging areas or work sites. Temporary waste storage will only occur at designated sites. Wastes expected to be temporarily stored include the deactivated and removed pipe sections, the concrete pipe weights from the removed pipe sections, woody debris, and/or salvaged and decked trees from ROW and workspace clearing. Wastes from all other operations and areas will be removed with the crews at the end of each day. Appointed waste storage areas will be determined as per ground and site conditions, and may be located at any of the following sites, the details of which are in the maps and descriptions in the Project EPP: 

Designated areas on the PMP ROW;



Level ground near the airstrip area; and,



Within the designated upland temporary workspace (e.g workspace #4).

Management of Waste

3.1

General Construction Waste Management Measures

July 2015

The following general practices will be followed during construction activities: General Construction Waste 

Collection and removal of all waste materials will follow Federal (e.g., Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act), and Territorial (e.g., Used Oil and Waste Fuel Management Regulation) waste management guidelines and legislation, including requirements regarding containment, handling, manifesting, and disposal.



Hazardous waste will be separated from non-hazardous waste, stored in original or appropriately labeled containers within secondary containment, and disposed of in a manner that complies with the Federal and Territorial Regulations, other jurisdictional authorities, and is consistent with the EMCPC (SET, 2014).



Hazardous waste will be transported out of the Northwest Territories to an approved hazardous waste facility in British Columbia.



Used oil, filters and grease cartridges and other products of equipment maintenance will be collected and disposed of at an approved waste site in British Columbia.



Hazardous materials will be stored and labeled in accordance with Work Site Hazardous Materials Information System (WHIMIS) requirements, and as set out in NWT’s Safety Act.



The Contractor will be responsible for the transport and disposal of decommissioned and removed sections of pipeline, pipe-weights and related construction waste.



All construction waste, including, but not limited to the sections of pipeline pipe-weights, will be transported to a SET facility in Fort Nelson, British Columbia.



Fuel, waste and hazardous materials shall be stored with secondary containment on level land at least 100 m from the ordinary high water mark of waterbodies.



Regular clean up and disposal programs will be implemented to prevent the unnecessary accumulation of construction wastes.



Reusable and recyclable materials will be segregated from other materials where applicable.

Waste Management Plan Prepared by Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd.

Page 9

Pointed Mt Pipeline Removal

July 2015

Excavated Material 

All waste and surplus material will be disposed of in designated areas so as to not impact watercourses or groundwater.



All stockpile slopes will be no steeper than 1.5 H:1V.



Organic material will be stockpiled for site reclamation following construction.



If required, all erodible construction stockpiles waste will be covered with sheeting or suitable tarp materials immediately after creation.



All stockpile areas will be inspected by the on-site Project Environmental Inspector (EI) on a regular basis.

Sewage Disposal 

Sanitary facilities in the form of portable toilets shall be provided for the use of workers.



Portable toilets will be exchanged approximately every 10 days, and the exhausted toilets and their waste will be transported to Fort Nelson, British Columbia, where the waste will be directed to an approved sewage disposal facility.



Sanitary facilities will be secured and located at least 30 m from the known or estimated high water mark of any waterbody.



Sanitary wastes will not be discharged into watercourses or on the soil surface.



There will be no grey water produced in the project work areas. Wildlife Attractant Management

3.2

Construction waste can adversely affect the environment, attracting wildlife and diminishing visual quality of the landscape. Wildlife attractants can also increase the risk of wildlife mortality due to poisoning or negative wildlife-human interactions. Effective waste management will involve:    3.3

Daily removal of domestic waste from the Project area to appropriate receptacles; The maintenance of clean work areas; and Keeping food inside vehicles or other areas inaccessible to wildlife. Waste Containment

Waste storage and containment will be determined by the waste type, the volume, the storage time, stability of the waste, its attractant quality for wildlife, and transportation considerations. Waste Management Plan Prepared by Triton Environmental Consultants Ltd.

Page 10

Pointed Mt Pipeline Removal

July 2015

Waste storage areas will be selected based upon the following factors: 

Suitable and safe access;



Location away from water bodies; and



Ability to provide secondary containment, if necessary.
