DEPARTMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENT

CANADIAN ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION ACT, 1999

Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of toluene diisocyanates

Pursuant to the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (hereinafter referred to as the “Act”), the Minister of the Environment published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on March 24, 2018, a Proposed notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of toluene diisocyanates.

Whereas persons were given the opportunity to file comments with respect to the proposed Notice for a comment period of 60 days; and

Whereas no comments were received on the proposed Notice,

Notice is hereby given that, under subsection 56(1) of the Act, the Minister of the Environment requires any person or class of persons described in section 2 of the Notice to prepare and implement a pollution prevention plan in respect of toluene diisocyanates.

The Minister of the Environment will measure the performance of the Notice, throughout the preparation and implementation periods, in order to determine its effectiveness in meeting the risk management objective set out in section 4 of the Notice. This evaluation will determine whether additional measures, including regulations, may be required.

This Notice replaces the Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans in respect of specified substances on Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999, related to the polyurethane and other foam sector (except polystyrene). That Notice was published in the Canada Gazette, Part I, on November 26, 2011, to satisfy the requirements under sections 91 and 92 of the Act.

More information on pollution prevention planning can be found in the Pollution Prevention Planning Provisions of Part 4 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999: Guidelines for Implementation. These guidelines and other information related to pollution prevention and pollution prevention planning can be found in the “Pollution Prevention Planning” section of the Government of Canada website.

7 Content of the plan

A person or class of persons identified in subsections 2(1) and (2) of the Notice may determine the appropriate content of their plan; however, the plan must meet all the requirements of the Notice. The plan must also contain the information required to file the Declaration of Preparation referred to in section 9 of the Notice and have the capacity to generate the information required to file the Declaration of Implementation referred to in section 10 of the Notice.

8 Requirement to keep the plan and record keeping

Under section 59 of the Act, any person or class of persons identified in subsections 2(1) and (2) of the Notice must keep a copy of the plan at the place in Canada in relation to which the plan is prepared.
