Decision to proceed with Leqal Prosecution
The Assistant City Engineer
out some previous
correspondence forwarded by thehanded
Municipal
Sol icitor (See
attachments 3 and 4) which expressed the opinion
that it
woul d generally not be in the City's bee interest
to
become involved in the legal prosecution of companies
po ut i ng the waterways since
may prove to be lonng an
and
expensive. Discuss ions then folitlowed
regard
ing
whether
or
not the decision to prosecute is at the discretion of
staf f in matters invol
ving environmental pol lution. Due
to the costly and possible
complicated nature of these
legal prosecutions, the Committee
recommends that:

Establishment of Budqet for Committee
A derman Gates stated that
from his experience in the

arose during the
year requ r ng tl e expend ture ofwhich
funds for the
City

In 1984 was
I

I

I

i

i

I

the clean

of the City lands

up

west of the G.V.H.C.
Hous i ng Dave opment on Gate y Street.
The cost of that
work was approximately $ 2,000. The city did
not actively
participate in the Coquitiam River clean up after
d
h ad
dumped a large amount of newspaper Into thevariver
because no funds had been allocated for ibis work. Slaff
I

I

were reluctant to commit City resources without
higher
authority. The Assistan'I
City Engineer also pointed
out
that funds should be oudgetted
for
the
collection
and
subsequent analysis of samples in

cases where undisputable
evidence
required for legal prosecution
The costs for
samp ing and ana ys ing samples vary but . general
ly theey
fa
in the range of $ 55.00
tor labour and
equipment and an additional $ 20.00perto hour
per analysis
dependent upon the pol lutants to be $ 200.00
It was
noted that although the Provincial Wasteidentified.

some

RE:

Bylaw Enforcement

Ron Criggie called regarding oil pollution in the pitt
River caused by the C.P.R. Ron pointed out that this in
violation of Section 3 of Bylaw 91!.
I advised Ron that I would seek information from the
Federal Department. of Fisheries to determine if the FederalGovernment wanted to be a party to any prosecution against the
Canadian Pacific Railway.
l)utl in
I called the Denaztment of
touch with Mr. Steve Pond at the Environmental Protection
Service (telephone No. 666-6711). Mz. Iond e-~lsi))ed to me'hat
the Federal Government does not usuallv ozosecute where the
offender can show that he is makinc attemnts to deal with the
situation and clean un the oil pollution. Xn cases where there
is gross neglect or disregard for the consequences then the
Federal Government prosecutes.
There are a number of difficulties with evidence in
these prosecutzons. any samples uf
po11ution must be legal samples. The samples must be taken
immediately from the source to the testing location. The
plaintiffs must be able to show that there was no intervening
time during which someone could have tampered with the samples
and for example added oil to the water to make it look like there
was pollution in the water. Furthermore, evidence is necessary
to show that the source of the pollution is coming from the
particulai property owner. This is usually done by having a dye
put into the ground owned by the offender to see if it comes out
at the point from which the sampleS are taken from the water.
This would be evidence that the oil is coming from that

Fisherie~~

.

particular property.

I advised Mr. Pond that I would be meeting with the
City of Port Coquitlam officials to review the 'Imaterial they have
put together to date on this matter and that would then be
contacting him to arrange a meeting between the City officials
and the Environmental protection Service to determine if a
prosecution is an appropriate remedy at this stage.

TERMS OF RFFERENCE FOR ENVIRONMENTAL

As a r eau t of the recent break
in internal

was obvious
that there exists a need to define the terms of reference

the Assistant City

on this
subject with the recommendation that the Assistant
Engineer be appointed by his Worship as the new StCit
a ff
R esource Person for this Commi'I'tee,
replacing
the
City
Clerk. The major reason for this proposal is that from
past experiences, matters of environmental
usuaii y
requ ice the commitment of resources concern
and,
in most
instances, technical advice from the Engineering
Department. The Committee supper ted this recommendation
for re-appointment and recommended that:
1. His worship appoint the Assistant City

result of the recent

that there exists a need to define the terms

the fol lowing items were discussed toin this

A!though Mr. R. Freeman has

been officially appointed as
the Staff Resource Person for
this Committee during the
recent Inaugural Council Meeting,
Assistant City
Engineer advised the Committee that an the
ier meeting had
been he Id with the City Administrator, earl
the
Engineer,
the Assistant City Engineer and the City City
Clerk
on this
subject with the recommendation that the Assistant
Engineer be appointed by his Worship as the new City
Resource Person for th s
ttee, rep acing the Staff
Clerk. The major reason Comm
for this proposal is that City
from
past experiences, matters of environmental
concern
usually
require the commitment of resources and, in most
instances, technical advice from the Engineering
Department. The Committee supported
for re-appointment and recommended that:this recommendation

Frequency of Meetinqs
In the past, since items of environmental
concern fel
within the responsibilities of
the
Works and Service;,
Committee, they were considered as an item on the
Works
I

and Services Committee Agenda whenever
they occurred. The
Committee decided that in the future,
meetings will be
held whenever any members of the committee
have items of

environmental concern to discuss.

Gates stated
that the next Committee meeting will alderman
likely
be
to discuss clean up of City trails, parks inandFebruary
other

property.
Staff
d. Contact Procedures

The Committee felt that an effective
procedure for the
dissemination of information during the occurrence
of high
prof i le items of environmental concern should
be
established and made clear to members of Counci, and
. The procedure established by the
Committee is as
follows:
1.

discovering the occurrence of a high profile
item of environmental concern shall
contact the
Assistant City Engineer immediately (Phone
No.
Office: 941-5411 Local 213, Home: 420-9468).

2.

If the Assistant City Engineer cannot be reached,
then
the City Engineer shall be called
(Phone No.
Office:

Anyone

941-5411, Local
3.

—

212, Home 581-0713).

The Assistart City Engineer (or the
City Engineer, in
hi s absence) sha
then gather as much facts as
possible surrounding the incid.nt md advise the Mayor
and members of the Environmental Protection
Committee
as soon as possible. The Emergency Coordinator
the City shall also be contacted by the Assistant for
Citv
Engineer at this point.
I

4.

I

The Aldermanic members of the Environmental
Protection
Committee will then advise other members of'ouncil

the incident.
5.

of

The Assistant City
(or the City Engineer in
his absence) shallEngineer
continue to advise the Mayor and

the Aldermanic members of the Environmental Protection
Committee of the latent development surrounding
the
.,incident. This procedure of information dissemination
shall continue until the incident has been
satisfactorily dealt with.
e, Decision to proceed with L~e al Prosecution

JAN 30 t985

The Resistant City Engineer
out some previous
correspondence forwarded by thehanded
Municipal
Sol icitor (See
attachments 3 and 4) which expressed the opinion
that it
would general ly not be in the City's best
interest
to
become involved in the legal prosecution
of
companies
polluting the waterways since it may prove to be long and
expensive. Discussions then followed
whether or
not the decision to prosecute is atregarding
the
discretion
of
staff in matters involving
pollution. Due
to the costly and poss b e environmental
comp icated
of these
legal prosecutions, the Committee recommendsnature
that:
The deci sion to prosecute in matters
involvinq the
Environmental Protection Committee rests with
Counci and
not staff.

Establ ishment of Budget for Committee
Alderman Gates stated that from his experience
in the
past, there were always occasions
arose during the
year requiring the expenditure ofwhich
funds for the
purpose of Environmental Clean-up. An City
example
1984 was
the clean up of the City lands west of thein G.V.H.C.
Housing Development on Gately Street. The cost
of that
work was approximately $ 2,000. The city did
not
actively
participate in the Coquitlam River 'clean up after vandals

had dumped a large amount of newspaper into
the river
because no funds had been allocated for this work.
Staff
were reluctant to commit City resource="
without higher
authority. The Assistant City Engineer also
pointed out
that funds should be budgetted for the collection
and
subsequent analysis of samples in cases
where
undisputable
evidence is required for legal prosecution. The
costs for
samp ing and anal yeing sarnp les vary but
generally
they

It was
noted that although the Provincial Wasteidentified.
Management
Branch
and Federa Environmenta Protection Service
have some
resources for sampling and analysis,
the
City
cannot
rely
upon these organizations to collect and'analyse
samples

recommended that:
