Mountain Hazard Risk Assessment
Budget: $250 – $750 CAD
For the construction of a pole barn, 24'x32' in Hope, British Columbia.
a) A topographic and geomorphic description of the site and a statement as to which type of natural hazard(s) may affect it.
b) A review of previous geotechnical studies affecting the site and engineering work in the vicinity.
c) An assessment of the nature, extent, frequency (probability), and potential effect of the hazard(s) including a description of the scientific methodology used to define these parameters. The methodology should be described in sufficient detail to facilitate a review of the study by another professional if deemed necessary by the District.
d) A description of proposed mitigative works, if any, including: construction and maintenance programs for such works, actions designed to prevent the hazardous occurrence, and an assessment of the effect of the mitigative work in reducing the potential impact of the hazard. Certificates of approval will be required on all constructed works for which the Qualified Professional is responsible. A landslide assurance statement must also be completed by the Qualified Professional.
e) Any other recommendations that the Qualified Professional believes appropriate.
f) An assessment that is in accordance with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientist of British Columbia (APEGBC) and the guidelines in the Hazard Acceptability Thresholds for Development Approvals by Local Governments (Cave, 1993) under which the land may be used safely for the intended used.
g) The signature and seal of a Professional Engineer registered in the Province of British Columbia with experience in the specialized field appropriate to the study.
