Provincial Spill Response Plans
The following lists Provincial-level Spill Response Plans prepared by the BC Ministry of Environment.
The BC Ministry of Environment is responsible for provincial preparedness and response management for spills of oil and hazardous materials. This responsibility is designated under the Emergency Program Act and its Emergency Program Management Regulation (Schedule 1). The Ministry of Environment Act and authorities are provided under the Environmental Management Act.
The primary focus of these spill response plans and operational guidelines are at the site (Incident Command Post) and field (tactical) levels of emergency response to "high-risk" spills of provincial, national or international significance (see: Characteristics of Site Response).
