Site Profiles

Site profiles are a screening tool used to identify potentially contaminated sites. They are completed and submitted when potentially contaminated sites are being decommissioned, are in foreclosure proceedings, are subject to local government applications and/or permits, and are being sold. The Site Profile Form is provided in Schedule 1 of the Contaminated Sites Regulation. Schedule 2 lists the industrial and commercial activities triggering site profile submission to the ministry. More detailed guidance is provided in the following links.
