Environmental Code Of Practice Electronic Resource Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 Base Metals Smelters And Refineries

This manual provides guidance on how facilities whose operations include the smelting and refining of primary base metals (e.g. copper, nickel, lead, zinc, cobalt) should estimate their greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from fuel combustion and specific process-related activities. To the extent possible, the manual addresses all GHG emissions accounting for a facility or portions of a facility.

This report outlines environmental concerns related to the decommissioning of SEPG stations and recommends practices intended to provide a framework for: a) assessing the nature and extent of contamination, if any, to be considered in the development of a site decommissioning strategy b) evaluating alternatives for site remediation activity that will mitigate or eliminate the adverse environmental impacts associated with the decommissioning of SEPG facilities in whole or in part; c) ensuring that the decommissioned site is left in a condition suitable for future land use. This Code is intended as an environmental standard for governments, industry, and the public.
