TORONTO – Ontario’s Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks has announced it is proceeding with a temporary suspension of legislative requirements to comply with parts of Ontario’s Excess Soil Regulation until Jan. 1, 2023.
The suspended requirements had come into effect Jan. 1, 2022.
The Excess Soil Regulation (O. Reg. 406/19: On-Site and Excess Soil Regulation) was finalized in 2019 and has been phased in over years, with the majority of the provisions already in place, explained an April 21 ministry statement.
But the ministry heard from developers and municipalities that they need more time to implement the most recent set of requirements, and to better understand their responsibilities.
Over the coming months the ministry said it aims to work with stakeholder on additional education, outreach and guidance needs to support successful implementation of the new requirements.
