Under the auspices of the BC MoE Municipal Sewage Regulations; Environmental Impact Studies are required for effluent discharges greater than 22.7m3/day. Kala typically breaks the site assessments into two phases for cost and time effectiveness.
  • 1 includes site reconnsaince, shallow intrusive investigation and analysis to provide broad scale site assessment services in regards to the desired discharge;
  • Phase 1 is followed by a more detailed deeper groundwater assessment and provision of soils design criteria;
Kala has conducted over 100 EIS programs in BC. Whether traditional drainfields, rapid infiltration basins, woodland or forage field spray irrigation Kala has investigated all manners of discharge in accordance with published provincial compliance criteria. Kala works with various civil consultants to provide cost effective technical assistance in the safe and sustainable discharge of effluent. Some examples include:

Canoe Creek Golf Course - Salmon Arm, BC

  • Golf course, resort and residential development 455 m3/d of effluent
  • Large scale pumping tests
  • Detailed study of neighboring production wells
  • Environmental implications of contaminated sites
  • Numerical modeling and calibration

Baynes Sound Developments - Fanny Bay
Residential Subdivision - Deep Bay, BC

  • 600 home residential community
  • Reclaimed water irrigation over 32 ha parcel
  • Nearby high production unconfined aquifer system
  • Sensitivity and risk assessment
  • Shallow Unconfined aquifer overlying deep confined aquifer
  • Seepage and groundwater flow/ transport modeling
