Overview
This department has limited information stored in databases on specific properties located within the province. The information can be used as an indicator to determine the likelihood of potential contamination, and as a record of past contamination events. Regulatory authority for this service is provided under the Fees for the Provision of Environmental Information Regulation (2002-1) - Financial Administration Act.
Eligibility
General public
Description
Departmental databases may include environmental information with respect to the presence of petroleum storage tanks, the remediation of impacted properties, the existence of Ministerial Orders, and the proximity of properties to former dump sites.
Information is made available pursuant to a review of the following specific databases, maintained in the Central office of the ENV:
"Petroleum Storage Tank Management System" database, for issues related to underground and above ground petroleum storage tanks.
"Compliance and Enforcement Information Management System" database, for Ministerial orders.
"Remediation Site Management System" database, for property contamination not necessarily related to registered petroleum storage tanks, including Administrative Orders.
"PCB Storage Site" listing, for storage location information.
"Dumpsite" database, for the proximity to former municipal household dump sites.
The information is accurate in that it provides a factual reflection of what is contained in departmental databases. The files themselves may or may not be complete. As an example, in the case of underground petroleum storage tanks, the files accurately reflect all those that were registered with the program; there may be underground storage tanks that were not registered and of which the Department has no knowledge. Likewise, there may be incidents of spills of which the Department was not informed or which pre-date Departmental records. The "Remediation Site Management System" was recently established and does not contain a complete history of past spills or remediation efforts. Furthermore, if the properties have been recently subdivided, the PID #s provided may not correspond with those contained in departmental files and thus on the databases.
The only way to determine with assurance that a property is free of contamination is to conduct an intrusive investigation on the property, i.e. "Phase II Environmental Site Assessment".
The search for information will begin once payment is received.
