Phase 2, recommendations report / : Recommendations report

This report presents the Recommendations task for the Phase 2 project, which is intended to compile the overall findings from the various tasks into a focused report with the aim of providing suggestions to the MoH and other Ministries in relation to mitigating potential human health impacts in the region. [...] The exposure scores used to assign the numerical risk rankings were based on a combination of the likelihood of an emission/release event occurring, the duration and aerial extent of impact associated with that event, and the overall magnitude of the event’s exposure. [...] Based on the findings of the Literature Review (Intrinsik 2013) and an additional review completed as part of the SLRA (see Intrinsik 2014a, Appendix D), a list of representative chemicals that are known to be associated with the selected emission sources and have the potential to, at high enough concentrations, cause a number of the health effects identified in the Literature Review were included [...] Based on the findings of the Intrinsik review, the current approaches do not properly account for the source conditions, the physical properties (i.e., density) of the gas released, and the concentration exposure profiles. [...] It is intended to aid in the identification of sites for management by the British Columbia Ministry of the Environment (BC MoE), and was developed by the BC OGC in relation to the provisions of the Petroleum and Natural Gas Act, and a Memorandum of Understanding that is in place between the BC OGC and the BC MoE.
