As a result code of practice and guidance documents should be followed and adhered to wherever possible and in the spirit of the law. In some cases these documents are referred to and adopted by regulatory bodies.

The second part of the section discusses R. v. Bata Industries (1992) which had significant implications regarding Director's and Officer's Liability under environmental law. BC Noncompliance Report Lists 109 Operations1 BC's environmental non-compliance report, covering April 1 to 30 September 1995, lists 109 operations that did not meet environmental standards. BC Charges and Penalties2 Between April 1 and 30 September 1995 the BC government laid 239 environmental charges against 154 business, industries and individuals. During this period 150 convictions and $128,271 in fines were handed= down. Alberta Gives First Jail Term for Environmental Offence3 Philip Environmental Services was fined $100,000 after pleading guilty to unlawfully disposing of 75,000 kg of hazardous waste in Edmonton's Cloverbar landfill. Timothy Underwood, Technical Service Representative for Philip at the time, was sentenced to three months in jail for knowingly releasing a hazardous substance into the environment. 148 Charges Laid under CEPA4 In three months in 1996 Environment Canada laid 148 charges against companies for exporting hazardous wastes to the US without proper notice under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act. Directors foot bills for corporate spills5 In August 1994 the BC Supreme Court in R. v. Robert Seraphim, held that the president of two mining companies had failed to exercise due diligence to prevent the companies from breaching the conditions of their waste management permits. Highly toxic effluent containing cyanide escaped from the companies' leaching operations; the court convicted the president for the companies' pollution offences under the Waste Management Act and levied a personal fine of $15,000 against the president. For directors faced with this potential exposure, the usual defensive practice has been to seek corporate indemnification, or directors' and officers' liability insurance coverage. In BC, however, these forms of protection will probably not be available for pollution offences subject to criminal prosecution. Company Ordered to Obtain ISO 14000 Certification6 In R. v. Prospec Chemicals Ltd., January 15, 1996, the Alberta Provincial Court ordered Prospec Chemicals to obtain certification under the ISO 14001 environmental management system specification by June 30, 1998 and to post a $40,000 letter of credit to ensure compliance. If the ISO 14001 certification program is not in effect as of December 31, 1997, Prospec Chemicals is required to deliver a letter from an ISO accredited auditor confirming that Prospec Chemicals has met all the prerequisites for accreditation. In addition, Prospec Chemicals was ordered to pay a fine of $100,000. Introduction of waste without a permit7 On February 13, 1996, in Minister of Environment, Lands & Parks v. Alpha Manufacturing Inc., et al., the BC Supreme Court granted an injunction to prevent a landfill operation from accepting demolition debris after the Minister of Environment canceled its Waste Management Act Permit. Alpha Manufacturing Inc. leased land at Burns Bog to conduct landfill operation. Since 1987 demolition debris had been accepted for landfilling under the authority of a Waste Management Act permit. On January 10, 1996 the Minister canceled the permit on the basis that it was not in the public interest. Alpha and other defendants continued to receive and store demolition debris at the site. Charged in toxic dump A Vancouver area battery recycling company has been charged with dumping toxic slag in an abandoned Okanagen mine. Metalex Products of Richmond and its owner, Mel Davis; Paul McKenzie, owner of Dankoe Mine; and Eugene Larabie of Laroth Engineering have each been charged with 10 counts of violating the Waste Management Act. They are to appear in provincial court in Penticton on June 9, 1997. ссылка |
