Please ensure that all excess soil being moved from sites is tested and shown to be appropriate for site where it will be placed. This should be required for all excess soil, regardless of the volume or any other mitigating factor.
As a Building Official working in Northern Ontario I am very pleased with these proposed changes. We have had countless projects stopped or delayed due to unreasonable restrictions in the Brownfields Act. I applaud the provincial government for their initiatives and commitment to cutting red tape.

I believe overall this proposal will be very effective in streamlining the Record of Site Conditions Regulation and should be approved as soon as possible.

To Whom This May Concern,
Finding a home for excavated fill is always going to be problematic, so we need to do the best job that can be done and seek higher standards.
Poisoning the ground and water in our rural communities to alleviate a headache for a condo developer is not a fair trade off.

Toxic soil is a threat to drinking water, public health, and must be monitored, tested and remediated where possible. It must be safely contained where not.
