6° The geotextile membrane and dislodged residues must be recovered and disposed of in accordance with the Regulation respecting hazardous materials (chapter Q 2, r. 32)

Right answer Wrong answer

Question 12 Section 39.

The water used to wash a logging machine may be discharged into the forest when all the conditions set out in subparagraphs 1 to 5 of the first paragraph of section 39 are met. If any of the conditions cannot be met, the water may be discharged into the forest provided it is treated on site, and provided the quantity of suspended matter and hydrocarbons in the water does not exceed a certain level.

The water used to was a logging machine may be discharged into the forest provided it does not contain more than:

15 mg/l of suspended matter and 15 mg/l of hydrocarbons

15 mg/l of suspended matter and 30 mg/l of hydrocarbons

30 mg/l of suspended matter and 15 mg/l of hydrocarbons

30 mg/l of suspended matter and 30 mg/l of hydrocarbons

Right answer Wrong answer

Question 13 Section 41.

The owner of a logging machine must obtain, from the enterprise that treats the washing water on the site, a certificate of compliance with the standards provided for in the second paragraph of section 39 before the washing water may be discharged into the forest.
