consultation regarding options to manage
the health and environmental risks associat-ed
with VOC emissions. Pineault says a num-ber
of options for reducing VOC emissions
were considered, including regulations, be-fore
the decision was made to use a code of
practice.
“Comments from the industry indicat-ed
that a code of practice was the preferred
instrument for this industry to reduce VOC
emissions,” said Pineault. “It’s voluntary, easy
to implement and can give some guidance to
reduce VOC emissions during the ozone sea-son,
May 1st to September 30th.”
In 2014, Environment and Climate Change
Canada published a discussion document
on the draft code of practice, allowing a 60-
day consultation period during which the
industry could contribute questions and
comments.
“We received 10 sets of comments, which
were largely technical in nature and mainly
focused on how the code would apply,” said
Pineault. “The comments were from users,
manufacturers and others asking us to clar-ify
some definitions. There were no major
changes.”
In March 2016, the department published
a proposed code of practice that included
changes made as a result of the public con-sultation.
The objective of the code is to re-duce
VOCs from this sector of up to 5,000
tons of VOCs per year.
“The code is proposing best practices to
encourage the use of lower VOC-emitting
asphalt during ozone season. For the ma-jority
of SHCA members, day-to-day activi-ties
should not change. Most of the liquefied
asphalt used in Canada is emulsified,” said
Pineault. “What we are proposing is aligning
with practices already adopted in the U.S. by
the Environmental Protection Agency and in
a number of states across the U.S. It’s noth-ing
new.”
