Abstract

In 2002 the provincial Ministry of Environment (MoE) (formerly Water, Land and Air Protection) announced that they would no longer be reviewing and permitting projects or operational activities under their legislation. In order to meet fiduciary obligations and environmental "due diligence," the British Columbia Ministry of Transportation ( MoT) developed a Memorandum of Understanding with MoE which covered four areas: communication and approval process, enforcement resolution procedures, operational best management practices and the creation of an environmental enhancement fund. This paper discusses the Environmental Enhancement Fund, its concept, rationale, project implementation, partnering initiatives and project successes. This project was nominated for the TAC 2005 Environmental Achievement Award. For the covering abstract of the conference see ITRD number E211521.
