Background
The Ministry has finalized a new regulation, requiring certain facilities to register their activities with air emissions on the province’s Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR). The EASR is an online registration tool that will allow qualifying facilities to register online instead of applying for an Environmental Compliance Approval.
The new regulation, O. Reg. 1/17: Registrations Under Part II.2 of the Act –Activities Requiring Assessment of Air Emissions, will become effective on January 31st, 2017. This regulation includes provisions requiring the person engaging in activities prescribed by the regulation to have specific documents signed and sealed by a Licensed Engineering Practitioner. For more information, please see the EBR Decision Notice Posting (012-8646).
