1st Place Team - 2006

2006

             The Harbour Environmental Linkage Project was a large-scale, waterfront redevelopment project in Victoria, B.C.  A biodiesel plant was the primary focus of the revitalization effort. Stacey’s team represented a group of advisors who were appointed by Victoria’s Energy Commissioner to assess the feasibility of the proposed project.  Issues to be considered were the location, the energy requirements, environmental impacts, hazardous materials and related transportation issues to and from southern Vancouver Island.

             Stacey’s team appealed to the judges because of their broad based approach.  The team’s recommended strategies for reducing costs and mitigating environmental impacts were practical and forward thinking. The team went outside the box by visiting the actual site and incorporating the role players into their presentation.

             After the EPA established new waste water discharge limits for the meat and poultry industry, a rendering plant owner in rural Idaho needed an innovative and cost effective way to comply.  Stacey’s multi-disciplinary team captured the attention of the judges by developing an innovative five-phase proposal that included the construction of an anaerobic digester to sustainably manage waste while producing three new revenue generating outputs: electricity, liquid fertilizer and compost.
