Consent Order – Mervyn Milligan, P.Eng. Kamloops, BC
A complaint was made to the Association relating to Mr. Milligan’s engineering services for a sewerage system on a property in Bridge Lake, BC. It was alleged that Mr. Milligan did not comply with the Sewerage System Regulation or the Provincial Sewerage System Standard Practice Manual. The complaint was investigated by the Investigation Committee of the Association, which recommended a disciplinary inquiry be held.
The Association’s Discipline Committee has approved a Consent Order that, in lieu of the Association proceeding with a disciplinary inquiry, Mr. Milligan will cease practising in the areas of wastewater treatment and disposal systems effective January 31, 2010 and will transfer any ongoing projects to another professional engineer approved in writing and in advance by the Registrar of the Association. If Mr. Milligan wishes to remove his practice restriction, he may do so on proof of further training in wastewater treatment and disposal systems acceptable to the Discipline Committee of the Association. Mr. Milligan must also pay the Association’s legal costs.
