The requirement to involve a landscape architect for reusing salt at CIPR property uses will cause a lot of frustration.

Community uses include roads, which we can already reuse salt impacted soil on. I hope this will not require a landscape architect. Similarly, if the salt-impacted soil is being buried 1.5 m, or other allowances, I hope that a landscape architect is not required.

Can the MECP not just provide some additional rules on the reuse options at these property uses instead of requiring another consultant?

"Salt-impacted soil would be permitted for undertakings on properties that have a community, institutional, parkland or residential use based on a landscape or site plan prepared and certified by an expert (e.g., a licensed landscape architect) identifying areas and depths at which salt-impacted soil can be used without affecting existing or future anticipated vegetation, and the acceptable concentration of the salt-related contaminants in these areas."
