Spill Regulations

In June 2007, concurrent with the passing of the two EP Regulations, MOE also passed:

• The Spill Prevention and Contingency Plans Regulation (O. Reg. 224/07 under the EPA) – which supports the implementation of the EPA provisions that require all regulated persons (i.e., MISA and MISA-like facilities) to develop and implement spill prevention plans and spill response plans by September 1, 2008; and
• Amendments to the Classification and Exemption of Spills Regulation (O. Reg. 675/98 under the EPA) which codified detailed reporting requirements for all persons reporting spills and discharges to MOE’s Spills Action Centre.

(For more information on these regulations, see the Supplement to this year's Annual Report.)
