A Framework for Ecological Risk Assessment at Contaminated Sites in Canada by C. Gaudet,Canada. Environment Canada,Canada. Ecosystem Conservation Directorate Pdf

"A framework for ecological risk assessment (ERA) is proposed as a step in the provision of guidance and the promotion of consistency in site assessment and remediation in Canada under the National Contaminated Sites Remediation Program (NCSRP). This report fulfils two distinct functions: (1) it proposes a framework for ERA under the NCSRP, and (2) it critically reviews the ERA literature. Methods of human health risk assessment were not reviewed under this contract"--Abstract.

State of the Debate on the Environment and the Economy by National Round Table on the Environment and the Economy (Canada) Pdf

Brownfield sites are abandoned or under-used properties where past actions have caused real or suspected environmental contamination. This report presents findings of consultations with various stakeholders regarding the potential for redeveloping such sites. It first reviews brownfield site redevelopment in Canada and the need for improving site-specific data on the environmental condition of land, along with the benefits of such redevelopment. It then discusses issues raised at the consultations, including liability, who pays for clean-up, standards of cleanliness, how to improve site-specific information, and regional variations in brownfield redevelopment. Suggestions by stakeholders are offered and recommendations are made regarding such issues as legal equity and uncertainty, insurance product development, public education, and government initiatives and partnerships.

Contaminated Site Liability Report by Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment. Core Group on Contaminated Site Liability Pdf

The liability for cleanup or remediation of contaminated sites is an issue causing difficulty in current attempts to achieve a sustainable environment and economy. This report presents a set of recommended principles to provide a model framework on which governments can develop legislation and regulations regarding contaminated sites and which will promote and facilitate a consistent approach to the issue of environmental liability. The first five principles are those that contain the general policies which should form the basis of legislation, including the polluter-pay principle, fairness, openness, and sustainable development. This is followed by specific principles regarding such matters as statutory exemptions from liability, recovery of public funds spent in remediation, allocation of responsibility, designation of contaminated sites, and compliance certification.

Environmental Analysis of Contaminated Sites by Geoffrey I. Sunahara,Agnès Y. Renoux,Claude Thellen,Connie L. Gaudet,Adrien Pilon Pdf

Bioremediation is a process applied to restore contaminated sites using biological tools. The success or failure of this process usually depends on an understanding of the biotechnological process as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the ecotoxicological tools used for its evaluation. This useful book offers a unique treatment of the subject, linking soil ecotoxicity tests, bioremediation and environmental risk assessment. It also, describes the inter-relationships between the laboratory and field ecotoxicologist, the biotechnology consultant and different international environmental regulatory agencies and explains how they seek to achieve a successful evaluation of contaminated site restoration.
