Hazardous Discharge (Spills) Reporting

Many widely used chemicals and other substances can be hazardous in the event of a discharge or release. The Ministry of Environment ensures that responsible parties manage discharges appropriately, to ensure public safety and to protect the environment. Prompt reporting is a critical first step.

The ministry has specially trained Environmental Emergencies Officers to assist with discharges (spills), to help limit impacts caused by the discharge. These responders are on call 24/7.

1. Guidance

Any discharge, release or emergency that may harm the environment or pose a risk to public health or safety must be reported immediately – it's the law. If you're unsure if a discharge is reportable, you should still call it in right away. There's no harm in calling if the incident turns out to be minor. The consequences for failing to report, or delaying, can be significant. Remember: when in doubt, give us a shout.

For discharges exceeding reportable limits as defined by legislation, the responsible party must also submit a Written Discharge Report within 30 days.
