What is Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR)? How Qualitest Canada can help to get this for you?

Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) Assessments (previously known as RAR Assessments) are undertaken to help maintain the stream health, fish populations, and overall productivity of the stream’s ecosystem by determining the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA). Riparian areas are the buffer zone between urban development and natural streamside areas.

The RAPR functions in a Professional Reliance model with a prescriptive, repeatable assessment methodology that supports permitting for residential, commercial and industrial developments. Prior to the start of a project near a stream or riparian habitat, The RAPR requires that a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) conduct a (simple or detailed) riparian assessment to describe the Features, Functions and Conditions that contribute to fish habitat, including the riparian vegetation. The RAPR assessment establishes a Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) and the required SPEA setbacks. The RAPR provides a riparian protection standard to protect the SPEA and avoid development within the SPEA.

The RAPR Assessments are undertaken by a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP), with the total process summarized by the following steps:

1. Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP)to obtain any background information pertaining to site (i.e. aerial photos, online municipal mapping, provincial data, etc.);
2. QEP to perform a site visit to gather the required data associated with the Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) Assessment, including measurements, habitat classification, overall riparian health, as well as taking photos;
3. The QEP will also assess whether other professionals will be required based on the overall site conditions to help determine the Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) (i.e. Arborist, Geotech, Professional Engineer, Hydrogeologist, Erosion and Sediment Control Professional (CPESC), etc.);
4. Complete the online reporting template provided by the Ministry of Forests, Lands, and Natural Resource Operations and Rural Development (FLNRORD) to determine the SPEA, which will include a detailed assessment, aerial mapping, photos, as well as other studies as required by other professionals;
5. FLNRORD will review the Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR) Assessment as to whether it conforms to the correct RAPR methodology, and will grant approval of the QEP-determined Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA).

Qualitest Canada Ltd. has undertaken many successful Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) Assessments in the Township of Surrey, Langley, Abbotsford, Coquitlam, Maple Ridge, Cultus Lake, Chilliwack, Mission, Agassiz, Harrison Hot Springs, West Kelowna, Pitt Meadows, Okanagan, Hope, Delta, Hemlock Valley Ski Resort, as well as Burnaby and Richmond. Qualitest can also undertake Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) Assessments throughout British Columbia.

Our in-depth understanding of the design and performance aspects of mechanical equipment enables us to provide a complete chemical verification service to our clients. Qualitest Canada’s staffs take a disciplined approach in identifying whether a failure is caused by design deficiencies, material defects, operational overloads, abuse, misapplication, inadequate maintenance, or use beyond design life.

We conduct Boron tests in our Surrey, BC and Nisku, AB laboratories together with other chemical tests with XRF and OES methods. In some cases, the objective of a failure analysis is to identify the limiting component so that design modifications can be developed to improve performance and reliability of the equipment.

Failure analysis is a comprehensive multi-discipline approach to evaluate and investigate a failed component part or assembly structure design. This approach involves Qualitest’s Engineers evaluating both the Material and Mechanical aspect of the failure occurrence so as to identify the potential root cause. It is base on the accurate identification of the failure root cause that an appropriate corrective solution can be implemented.

Riparian Areas Protection Regulation – British Columbia

Qualitest provides the Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) services in throughout the British Columbia including Surrey, Vancouver, Langley, Richmond, Delta, Burnaby, Victoria, Abbotsford, Coquitlam, Burnaby, New Westminister, White Rock, Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Pitt Meadows, Mapleridge, Kitimat, Terrace, Dawson Creek, Kelowna, Kamloops etc

The Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR) is Provincial legislation that requires local governments to protect riparian areas during residential, commercial, and industrial developments in order to maintain the features, functions and conditions that support fish habitat. A RAPR Assessment may be required when considering development near watercourses, ditches, or wetlands.

Qualitest has the scientific and technical knowledge in determining the applicability of the RAPR to development projects, conducting RAPR assessments in accordance with the standardized RAPR assessment methodology, and completing and submitting RAPR Assessment Reports to the provincial online Riparian Areas Regulation Notification System (RARNS) for review and audit.

Purpose of the Riparian Areas Protection Regulation

The former Riparian Areas Regulation (RAR) was amended by the Government of BC, with the amendments coming into force on November 1, 2019 as the Riparian Areas Protection Regulation (RAPR). The RAPR (under RAPA) is a directive by the Province that requires that local governments protect riparian areas during residential, commercial, and industrial development. The Fish and Aquatic Habitat Branch of the Ministry of Forests, Lands, Natural Resource Operations, and Rural Development (FLNRORD) leads the RAPR process. The purpose of the RAPR is to protect riparian-area features that border onto streams, lakes and wetlands, to maintain stream health and productivity, including:

• Sources of large organic debris, such as fallen trees and tree roots;
• Areas for stream channel migration;
• Vegetative cover to help moderate water temperature;
• Provision of food, nutrients and organic matter to the stream;
• Stream bank stabilization; and
• Buffers for streams from excessive silt and surface run-off pollution.

The Fish Protection Act was re-titled the Riparian Areas Protection Act (RAPA) in 2016. The Riparian Areas Protection Act focuses on four major objectives:

• Ensuring sufficient water for fish;
• Protection and restoration of fish habitat;
• Improved riparian protection and enhancement; and
• Stronger local government powers in environmental planning.

The RAPR functions in a Professional Reliance model with a prescriptive, repeatable assessment methodology that supports permitting for residential, commercial and industrial developments. Prior to the start of a project near a stream or riparian habitat, The RAPR requires that a Qualified Environmental Professional (QEP) conduct a (simple or detailed) riparian assessment to describe the Features, Functions and Conditions that contribute to fish habitat, including the riparian vegetation. The RAPR assessment establishes a Streamside Protection and Enhancement Area (SPEA) and the required SPEA setbacks. The RAPR provides a riparian protection standard to protect the SPEA and avoid development within the SPEA.

The new RAPR is intended to provide improved oversight for the Ministry, incorporate training requirements for QEPs, and provide additional detail and rigour in the application of regulatory standards.
