CONTAMINATED SITES PROCESS
The site identification process is intended to screen for contaminated sites to protect the environment, potential property purchasers, and to prevent unforeseen liabilities. The provincial Contaminated Sites Regulation requires that any person making an application for site development must submit a Site Disclosure Statement (SDS) to the municipality, identifying any Schedule 2 activities that have taken, or are taking, place on the site.
Triggers for Submission Exemptions
Rezoning applications
Current industrial or commercial use continues to be authorized after rezoning.
EXAMPLE: a site currently used as gas station is applying to rezone to add a carwash, and the gas station use continues.
Subdivision applications Subdivision application consists only of a boundary adjustment or lot consolidation.
Development permit applications for activities likely to disturb soil
DP or BP applications that are only for the purpose of demolition; installing or replacing underground utilities, fencing or signage; paving or landscaping.
NOTE: TUPs do not trigger CSR. Building permit applications for activities likely to disturb soil
Schedule 2 Activities References
Schedule 2 activities are commercial and industrial activities which have potential to result in site contamination. Schedule 2 activities are independent of zoning; e.g., a vehicle salvage operation on a residential property still qualifies as a commercial use.
. This package includes:
• Schedule 1 – Site Disclosure Statement • Schedule 2 – list of commercial or industrial activities
NEW: if a Schedule 2 activity has taken place, a site investigation will be required, and you will be at the direction of the provincial government before the application can proceed.
Site Disclosure Statements (SDS)
Who can complete? Agent, site owner or site operator
Who can sign? Site owner or operator
How many sites can be listed on one SDS? All properties that have the same site owner or operator, and for which the information on the SDS is the same.
Cost? $100 per Site Disclosure Statement submitted to the District of Mission.
After submission
Staff will review the SDS and let you know if your proposal can proceed without further action; request changes to the SDS; or forward the SDS to the provincial government for further assessment within 15 business days from submission.
