Project Description
Soil sampling was carried out in 8 areas of British Columbia between 1994 and 1996: Cariboo, Kootenay, Lower Mainland, Omineca Peace, Skeena, Southern Interior, Vancouver and Vancouver Island. The sampling is part of a larger program undertaken by the Contaminated Sites Unit of the British Columbia Ministry of Environment to determine meaningful “normal” contaminant concentrations in all regions of the province. These background concentrations, in addition to being of scientific importance, will assist regulators in applying contaminated site remediation criteria. These data will also establish base-line data which is necessary to detect long term trends and assess the adequacy of pollution controls.
