• acted as an authorized person pursuant to the Sewerage System Regulations (SSR) for the Projects when the design and construction of sewerage systems is outside his area of expertise;
• failed to adequately document the designs and field reviews for the Projects; and
• created a potential risk to public health by failing to comply with the SPM and SSR for the Projects, or alternatively, failing to document the rationale for deviating from the SPM and SSR, as required.

As outlined in the Consent Order, Mr. Nunn’s registration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC was cancelled. Mr. Nunn agreed not to reapply for registration with Engineers and Geoscientists BC at anytime in the future.
