Why consultation isn't required
On April 1, 2020, the Ontario Government made a temporary regulation to respond to the COVID-19 outbreak. Ontario Regulation 115/20 exempts all proposals for policies, acts, regulations and instruments from posting requirements under the EBR until 30 days after the declared emergency is terminated.
Proposal details
A risk assessment was undertaken for this property to establish the risks that the contaminants identified in the risk assessment may pose to future users and to identify appropriate risk management measures to be implemented to ensure that the property is suitable for the intended uses of Residential, Parkland, Institutional, Commercial and Community defined by O. Reg. 153/04. A municipal pumping station will also be constructed on the property which is considered as Industrial use under the regulation.
Our review of the risk assessment involved the following reports, documents and information /correspondence:
- Risk Assessment of Pier 8, Hamilton, Ontario, report prepared by Dillon Consulting Ltd., dated June 21, 2017

- Revised Risk Assessment Report (4th Submission) for Pier 8, Hamilton, Ontario, report prepared by Dillon Consulting Ltd., dated October 11, 2019
Based on the documents provided to us as part of the risk assessment report, the reviewers can confirm that the risk assessment has been conducted in accordance with the Environmental Protection Act (the Act), Ontario Regulation 153/04 (the regulation), and the associated guidance documents. The director provided the proponent with written Notice of the Director’s Decision to accept risk assessment number 3673-A9GSFX relating to the property in accordance with section 168.5 of the Act on December 10, 2019.
