SELECTED PROJECT EXPERIENCE
Environmental Site Assessment and Remediation of Former Automotive Repair Facility, Victoria, BC
Mr. Barton was the ProjectScientistand ProjectManager for a multi-year environmental projectconducted ata large commercial
lot purchased for re-developmentbythe Jim Pattison Group. The environmental investigative work included a Phase I, II and III
ESA, comprehensive hydrogeological study including a bedrock drilling program, soil vapour investigation and a hazardous
building material survey. Following the investigation works the client was provided with an estimate of environmental liability,
remedial options analysis and contractor tender specifications for the selected remediation approach.Mr. Barton then directed
the remedial program and completed the environmental sampling and reporting requirements in accordance with regulatory
standards.
Environmental Site Assessment and Closure and Reclamation Plan for the Deline landfill and sewage lagoons, NWT
Mr. Barton managed and completedthe Phase I, II, and III ESA and hazardous materials assessmentfor the Deline landfill and
sewage lagoons.Careful logistical planning was required to transporta drill-rig, field staff and supplies to Deline which is only
accessible by air and to complete the field program during limited daylighthours as the work was scheduled during maximum
permafrostthaw. The field program was designed and completed during a single two week trip to the site and included a Phase
I ESA site visit, consultation with communityelders,hazardous building material assessment,identification ofunlabelled drum
contents, testpitting, borehole drilling, well installations and surface water and sediment sampling. Following the successful
completion of the ESA, Mr. Barton managed the completion of a Closure and Reclamation Plan for the landfill and sewage
lagoons.
Remediation Program at the Ketza River Mine, Ross River, YT
Mr. Barton was the Project Scientist for a remediation program conducted at the Ketza River mine. The project involved the
remediation ofsoil contaminationattwo locations within the mines ite. Mr.Barton directed the remedial activities which included
groundwater management,the construction of the biocell and characterization and confirmatorysoil sampling accordance with
regulatory standards.
Environmental Monitoring for Electrical Substation upgrade and Utility Line installations, Metro Vancouver, BC
Environmental monitoring services were provided to BC Hydro and Power Authority for the installation of a 2.8 km long
underground transmission line, a 5 km long fibre optic line and major reinforcement upgrades to an electrical substation.
Environmental services included monitoring contractor compliance with the EMP and provincial/federal regulations, review
contractor Environmental Protection Plans (EPPs) and characterizing,advising and documenting the managementand disposal
of contaminated soil and groundwater encountered during the construction works. Mr. Barton was the Project Manager and
Technical Lead for environmental services during this multi-year construction project.
Spill Response Coordination for BC Hydro and Power Authority, Central and Northern Vancouver Island, BC
From 2007 until moving to Whitehorse in 2014, Mr. Barton was the primary contact and coordinator of an exclusive contact to
provide environmental services to remediate spills occurring at BC Hydro and Power Authority facilities and assets within the
central and northern Vancouver Island region. Spills were generallythe resultofdamageto pole or groundmountedtransformers
due to vehicle accidents or extreme weather but also included releases within electrical substations and at diesel generating
stations. Mr. Barton responded to over 40 spills and his role included planning and organizing the response methodology,
directing remedial works, environmental sampling and notifying regulatorybodies and obtaining regulatorypermits.
Phase I ESAs for the Ross River and Deep Creek Dump Sites, YT
Mr. Barton was the ProjectManager for the completion ofPhase 1 ESAs at two abandoned dumpsites in the Yukon. In addition
to typical Phase I ESA tasks,the scope of work included a detailed review of landfill specific information and an assessment of
the potential for leachate and landfill gas generation and the potential risk to nearby human and ecological receptors.
Environmental Assessment and Remediation, Maa-nulth First Nations, Vancouver Island, BC
Mr. Barton conducted a Phase II and III ESA and remediation program for the UchucklesahtTribe lands located atthe head of
a remote inlet on the west coast of Vancouver Island. The site works included the identification of unknown liquids in drums,
environmental assessment of a diesel generating station and waste incinerator facility, excavation of contaminated soil and
transportvia barge of the contaminated material and hazardous substances generated during the remedial program.
