Environmental Codes Of Practice For Steam Electric Power Generation Design Phase

Environmental Codes of Practice for steam electric power generation, whichincludes fossil-fuelled (coal, oil, gas) and nuclear-powered (CANDU) generating stations were developed in consultation with afederal-provincial-industry task force. The Design Phase Code addressesprimarily water-related environmental concerns, but not air emissions although water and solid waste concerns associated with air pollution controlsystems are addressed. This volume contains appendices listing task force members, electrical generation and water use data, selectedenvironmental objectives and water quality criteria for new stationarysources, federal regulation of chlorobiphenyls, rationale forrecommendations on once-through cooling systems and wastewaters andmonitoring, and cost implications.

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.

This guide is designed to provide a useful environmental reference for each activity in the real property management process. It covers a wide variety of topics including management issues such as acquisition, leasing, licensing and disposal, as well as day-to-day operational and maintenance issues such as air quality, PCB management, building cleaning and waste management. Each stage of the life cycle (planning, acquisition and disposal, design, construction, commissioning, demolition and dismantling, operation and maintenance) is covered in a separate chapter, which gives a brief description of the significance of the subject and the approach the federal government takes to it, describes the process and procedures in detail, and contains titles of related legislation, policies, regulations, codes, standards, specifications and advisory publications.
