We approved a regulation to help advance municipal asset management planning across Ontario.

A new Environmental Compliance Approval (Waste Disposal, transfer and processing Site) was granted to 2626371 Ontario Inc., operating as Silverstar Roofing Supplies for the use and operation of waste disposal site at 160 Silverstar Boulevard, Toronto, Ontario with a total area of 0.25 hectares.

The Environmental Compliance Approval (Waste Disposal Site - transfer/processing site) No. A121029 issued to Future Waste Recycling Facilities Inc has been amended

We reviewed the Endangered Species Act, 2007 to improve protections for species at risk, consider modern and innovative approaches to achieve positive outcomes for species at risk, streamline approvals and provide clarity to support economic development. As a result of the review, we are proceeding with proposing amendments to the act.

We are making changes to address duplication and overlap with the federal government’s requirements for toxic substances to reduce burden for facilities. Facilities with existing toxics reduction plans will no longer be required to review those plans. In addition, all facilities in Ontario will no longer have new planning or reporting required.

We will repeal the Toxics Reduction Act, 2009 and its associated regulations on December 31, 2021. This will remove unnecessary duplication with the federal program and reduce burden for industry.

Permit Issued.

The exploration permit was issued. Terms and Conditions were added to address concerns raised during the Ministry's Exploration Permit Review process. The exploration permit is valid for 3 years from the date of issue.

We have approved the amendment for Environmental Compliance Approval No. 5738-8DVQ79 for Algoma Orchards Ltd. for the replacement of the two small existing leaching beds serving the Algoma Orchards.

Permit Proposal withdrawn.

We finalized species-specific policies (government response statements) outlining the actions we intend to lead and support to protect and recover six species at risk in Ontario: four salamander species (Jefferson, Small-mouthed and two dependent Unisexual Ambystoma species), Nine-spotted Lady Beetle and River Darter.

We amended Mining Lands Policies to support the implementation of a new electronic Mining Lands Administrative System (MLAS). The amendments reflect the functionality of the MLAS and legislative changes.

The Code Adoption Document (CAD) amendment will be signed by the director and posted on the TSSA website.  The effective date will be December 1, 2018.

We are extending the current moratorium on new or increasing permits to take groundwater to produce bottled water for one year, to January 1, 2020.

We are implementing new regulations to ensure technological changes to reduce sulphur dioxide emissions from Ontario petroleum facilities are made in a timely manner. This will improve how flaring events are managed and strengthen accountability through reporting, monitoring and environmental penalties.

We finalized species-specific policies (government response statements) outlining the actions we intend to lead and support to protect and recover five species at risk in Ontario: Blue Ash, Gypsy Cuckoo Bumble Bee, Kentucky Coffee-tree, Massasauga (Carolinian population) and Massasauga (Great Lakes – St. Lawrence population).
