I am curious as to why at the time of excavation for new dwellings, landscape construction at existing dwellings, etc. the government is so concerned about soil contamination given the prior opportunities in the planning/development process to ensure that site soils are not contaminated.

I recognize there are reasons to create this system. There are also hundred of unintended consequences and additional cost. We recently prepared to move soil from a farm field to a beneficial site and were quoted $48,000 consulting and testing cost. Lire davantage

I strongly support the proposed implementation pause. Additional time is needed to fully understand the impact of these regulations on current business practices. Currently there are very steep cost increases related to these requirements. Lire davantage

While we appreciate the ministry trying to ensure topsoil is recycled and not dumped illegally, this policy is going to be a burden on our business. One part of our business is doing landscaping work for the city. Lire davantage

The proposal indicates that municipalities, organizations building civic, community and green infrastructure, and job creators require more time to properly implement the regulation. Lire davantage

As an environmental consultant, I have observed that there has been a real attempt by developers to meet the requirements of O.Reg. 406/19. There will be a learning curve but developers, truckers, and others do not have the incentive to try and meet the requirements until they HAVE to. Lire davantage

The testing that would take place will cost tons of money, it will cause delays and cause hardship to any small business! Lire davantage

As a small business my first comment is that the exemptions need to be clearer. As I read it, as long as I am working on residential land that hasnt been identified as having past contaminants I am fine. Lire davantage

This excess soil regulation is going to hurt the landscape, construction and agriculture sectors. This just creates more paper work, more time and costs involved therefore inflating our industries even more then they already have since 2021. This will definitely be a big hit for small businesses.

We are a landscape company. How this regulation affects our industry is by dumping sites not accepting clean fill, the requirement to test soil, which is not from contaminated sites and additional record keeping for our drivers. Lire davantage

I think that the Ontario Government is very wise in bringing in this legislation to protect our environment. Our environment needs to be monitored and looked after properly. Lire davantage

The extra costs associated with this implementation will greatly increase the cost of landscape construction to the homeowner. All of these costs will be added onto the end user/homeowner, making the cost of housing even higher. Lire davantage

I have read through the Excess Soil Requirements and do not see the purpose. It's poorly put together without much thought on how it would effect everyone that moves soil. -There is no logistical way to monitor. It's just more meaningless paperwork that the government wont be able to track. Lire davantage

From a geotechnical engineer who has been answering questions about this regulation since January 1, 2022. I don't see the point in delaying the implementation of the regulation seeing as we are already a quarter of the way through the year. Lire davantage

For linear infrastructure projects, it is unreasonable to dictate a beneficial use for clean yet geotechnically unsuitable materials (i.e. muskeg), particularly when very large volumes are required to be excavated for foundation purposes in remote areas. Lire davantage

The new soil regulations and requirements have adversely affected our construction project, resulting in soil removal tender pricing about 15x higher than our Consultant's cost estimate, requiring the cancellation of the project and re-tendering. Lire davantage

Just to confirm, we do not require to submit soils report (Excess Soils Characterization Report - O. Reg 406/19)for our residential construction projects until January 2023?
