 Proposed Regulatory Changes to Ontario Brownfields Regulation

In October 2008, the Ontario Government announced proposed regulatory amendments to the Brownfields Regulation O. Reg. 153/04 Records of Site Condition.  These proposed amendments are intended to round out a set of comprehensive reforms that Ontario started to implement in Spring 2008.  

There are five key pieces to these proposed amendments:

• Enhanced Record of Site Condition integrity
• Off-site liability protection
• Streamlined Risk Assessment
• Strengthened Standards
• Complementary Amendments to Ontario Regulation 153/04

Further information on each of these proposed amendments is available on the Brownfields Ontario website: www.ontario.ca/brownfields.
 
Ontario is inviting stakeholders, municipalities and the public to review and comment on the proposed amendments, posted on the Environmental Rights registry at www.ontario.ca/environmentalregistry.  The posting number is 010-04642.
