STÉPHANE DION
Minister of the Environment

CANADA-WIDE STANDARD
for
MERCURY EMISSIONS
from
COAL-FIRED ELECTRIC
POWER GENERATION PLANTS

Preamble

The Canadian Council of Ministers of the Environment (CCME) has determined that mercury levels in fish and wildlife across Canada warrant efforts to reduce mercury emissions in order to protect not only fish and wildlife, but also human health.

Mercury is a toxic, persistent, bioaccumulative substance. It converts in water to the highly toxic form methylmercury, which accumulates in fish and other species, damaging the central nervous system and causing reproductive failure among loons and river otters.

Human exposure to mercury—primarily by eating contaminated fish—may cause neurological and developmental damage. Low exposure to mercury may cause problems, such as learning disabilities in children. Women of childbearing age, pregnant women, children, and populations who depend on fish as a traditional food source are most at risk.

CCME is committed to reducing mercury releases to the environment. Since 1998, CCME has set Canada-wide standards (CWSs) for mercury emissions from base-metal smelters and from waste incinerators, as well as CWSs for mercury-containing lamps and dental amalgam waste.

Canada has also negotiated and signed a number of regional and international agreements with the United States and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe that reduce emissions to the global pool of mercury, since Canada receives ten times more mercury from the global pool than it emits each year.

In 2003, the coal-fired electric power generation (EPG) sector emitted an estimated 2 695 kilograms of mercury from an estimated 3 725 kilograms of mercury in coal burned. The EPG sector is the largest single remaining man-made source of mercury emissions in Canada. Therefore, CCME has agreed to set a mercury CWS for this sector, with the goal of reducing mercury emissions from existing plants and ensuring that new plants achieve emission levels based on best available technologies economically achievable, or equivalent.

Part 1

Numerical targets and timeframes

1. Nature and application

This CWS consists of two sets of targets:

• provincial caps on mercury emissions from existing coal-fired EPG plants, with the 2010 provincial caps representing a 65% national capture of mercury from coal burned, or 70% including recognition for early action; and
• capture rates or emission limits for new plants, based on best available control technology, effective immediately.

A second phase of the CWS may explore the capture of 80% or more of mercury from coal burned for 2018 and beyond.

2. Existing facilities

Existing coal-fired EPG plants will meet the following provincial caps for annual mercury emissions:

¹ Based on 2002 to 2004 utility monitoring program results.

² Alberta's commitment is through the implementation of the Clean Air Strategic Alliance Electricity Project Team recommendations. Alberta emissions are based on a 90% capacity factor.

³ Saskatchewan's early actions, between 2004 and 2009, will be used to meet its provincial caps for the years 2010 to 2013. Examples of early actions include a mercury switch collection program and early mercury controls at the Poplar River Power Station.

The 2010 national total represents mercury emission reductions from 2003/04 levels of approximately 52%, or 58% including recognition for early action.

For the purposes of this CWS, existing facilities include units in place at the time of endorsement at the following coal-fired power plants:

3. New facilities

This section applies to any coal-fired EPG unit not identified above as an existing facility. A new facility includes any coal-fired steam generating unit, including a unit which replaces an existing coal-fired steam generating unit with equivalent technology or with any other steam generating technology which is based on coal combustion, for which first permit approval occurs after the signing of this standard.

Mercury emissions from new facilities are not included in the provincial caps for existing facilities.

A new coal-fired EPG unit will achieve a capture of mercury from coal burned no less than specified below or an average annual mercury emission rate no greater than specified below:

^* These rates are based on best available technologies economically available.

Part 2

Implementation

Jurisdictions will undertake the following implementation actions:

• implement jurisdictional implementation plans to achieve the CWS;
• establish and maintain testing in accordance with a monitoring protocol to be developed by CCME no later than 2006; and
• the federal government, with support from the provinces and territories, will aggressively pursue further reductions in the global pool of mercury.

Reporting on progress

Ministers will receive reports from jurisdictions in 2008, 2009, and 2010 and every two years thereafter until 2016 on the results of testing in accordance with the monitoring protocol. Ministers will ensure that a single report is prepared and posted on the CCME Web site for public access.

These reports may be accompanied by other information on additional outcomes, activities, research, or other issues relevant to the standards and/or the coal-fired electric power generation sector.

Review

Based on reports on progress, the CWS may be reviewed by 2012 to explore the capture of 80% or more of mercury from coal burned for 2018 and beyond.

Administration

Jurisdictions will review and renew Part 2 five years from its coming into effect.

Any party may withdraw from this CWS upon three months' notice.

This CWS comes into effect for each jurisdiction on the date of signature by the jurisdiction.

DEPARTMENT OF INTERNATIONAL TRADE

NOTICE OF INTENT FOR AN ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT OF THE CANADA-EUROPEAN UNION TRADE AND INVESTMENT ENHANCEMENT AGREEMENT NEGOTIATIONS

The Government of Canada will be undertaking a strategic environmental assessment of the negotiations for a Trade and Investment Enhancement Agreement (TIEA) with the European Union (EU). Comments are invited on any likely and significant environmental impacts of the negotiations on Canada.

Canada-European Union Trade and Investment Enhancement Agreement

Canada and the EU launched the first round of negotiations towards a new bilateral TIEA in May 2005. The TIEA was first conceived at the December 2002 Canada-EU Summit in Ottawa. Negotiations are based on the 16 issue-areas included in the TIEA Framework, which was agreed to by Leaders at the Canada-EU Summit on March 18, 2004. The TIEA is not a free trade agreement, in that market access issues (e.g. tariff removal) are to be negotiated in the context of the ongoing World Trade Organization negotiations rather than bilaterally through the TIEA. According to the Framework, issues to be addressed in the TIEA will be regulatory co-operation, services (domestic regulation, mutual recognition of professional qualifications, temporary entry, financial services, e-commerce), government procurement, trade facilitation, investment, competition, sustainable development, intellectual property rights, science and technology co-operation, small- and medium-sized enterprises, civil society consultations, dispute settlement and institutional arrangements.

The background to the TIEA, which includes a description of each of the above-mentioned issue-areas, may be accessed at www.international.gc.ca/tna-nac/rb/tiea-en.asp. To learn more about Canada's trade negotiations and agreements, you are invited to visit www.international.gc.ca/tna-nac/menu-en.asp.

Strategic environmental assessments

The Government of Canada is committed to sustainable development. Mutually supportive trade and environmental policies can contribute to this objective. To this end, the Minister of International Trade, with the support of his Cabinet colleagues, has directed trade officials to improve their understanding of, and information base on, the relationship between trade and environmental issues at the earliest stages of decision-making, and to do this through an open and inclusive process. Environmental assessments of trade negotiations are critical to this work.

This process is guided by the 2001 Framework for Conducting Environmental Assessments of Trade Negotiations with direction from the 2004 Cabinet Directive on the Environmental Assessment of Policy, Plan and Program Proposals. For the full text of the Framework, please refer to www.international.gc.ca/tna-nac/env/env-en.asp.

An environmental assessment is a systematic process of identifying and evaluating the likely and significant positive and negative environmental impacts of an initiative on Canada. Public consultations are conducted throughout the process, which includes the following steps in chronological order:

1. Announcement of the intent to conduct an environmental assessment, which is the purpose of this Canada Gazette notice;

2. Preparation of an initial environmental assessment report that will define the scope of the more complete analysis to be carried out in the next stage;

3. Preparation of a draft environmental assessment report that will include an in-depth analysis of the issues raised in the initial environmental assessment; and

4. Preparation of a final environmental assessment report that will be released after the conclusion of negotiations.

In each of the above steps, the analysis follows four stages:

— identify the economic effects in Canada of the negotiations;

— identify the likely environmental impacts in Canada of such effects;

— assess the significance of the likely environmental impacts; and

— identify enhancement/mitigation options to inform the negotiation process.

Environmental assessment of the Canada-EU TIEA negotiations

An Environmental Assessment Committee has been formed to undertake the analysis of the TIEA negotiations. Coordinated by Foreign Affairs Canada and International Trade Canada, the Environmental Assessment Committee includes representatives from various federal government departments and agencies. In the preparation of the report at each stage, as appropriate, the Committee will be open to input from provincial and territorial governments, industry groups, civil society and the public.

Submissions by interested parties

All interested parties are invited to submit, by September 16, 2005, their views on the likely and significant environmental impacts on Canada of the TIEA negotiations, bearing in mind the agreed scope of the negotiations presented in the March 2004 Framework. (see footnote a)

Submissions should include the following:

1. the Contributor's name and address and if applicable, his or her organization, institution or business;

2. the specific issues being addressed; and

3. the rationale for the positions taken.

Please address contributions to the Consultations and Liaison Division (EBC), Environmental Assessment Consultations—Canada-EU TIEA, International Trade Canada, Lester B. Pearson Building, 125 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0G2, consultations@international.gc.ca (email), (613) 944-7981 (fax).

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The Canada Shipping Act (CSA) was amended in 1993 to enhance the environmental protection of all Canadian waters south of 60° north latitude through the establishment of industry-funded and managed Response Organizations (ROs) capable of mounting an oil spill response to a marine-based incident. Following the government reorganization of December 12, 2003, as of April 1, 2004, the Minister of Transport is responsible for certifying that ROs meet the required standards to be formally designed as a certified RO. The Marine Safety Directorate of the Department of Transport fulfils this responsibility on behalf of the Minister. The Canadian Coast Guard (CCG) maintains responsibility for ensuring response in Canadian waters north of 60° north latitude.

In accordance with the provisions of the CSA, certain ships and oil handling facilities (OHFs) are required to have an oil spill preparedness arrangement with a certified RO for the provision of response in the event of an oil spill.

Four ROs, each capable of providing response to a 10 000 tonne oil spill within specified geographic areas of response, have been certified by the CCG as follows:

• Atlantic Emergency Response Team (ALERT) Inc.
• Eastern Canada Response Corporation (ECRC) Ltd.
• Point Tupper Marine Services (PTMS) Ltd.
• Western Canada Marine Response Corporation (WCMRC)

The CSA provides for the amendment of fees established by a certified RO at any time during its period of certification.

ECRC's proposal to amend its bulk oil cargo fees was published by Transport Canada on March 12, 2005, in Part I of the Canada Gazette. The Minister approved the proposed fees, without amendment, by Order, on June 29, 2005. ECRC established its fees in accordance with the Minister's Order on July 11, 2005. The bulk oil cargo fees which have been established by ECRC are the bulk oil cargo fees that are payable in relation to an arrangement with ECRC.

For information regarding the Minister's Order, please contact Bonnie Leonard, Transport Canada, Marine Safety, Place de Ville, Tower C, 10th Floor, 330 Sparks Street, Ottawa, Ontario K1A 0N8, (613) 990-4887 (telephone), (613) 993-8196 (fax), leonarb@tc.gc.ca (email).

For more information regarding ECRC and its fees, please contact Mr. Paul Pouliotte, Chief Financial Officer, Eastern Canada Response Corporation Ltd., 275 Slater Street, Suite 1202, Ottawa, Ontario K1P 5H9, (613) 230-7369 (telephone), (613) 230-7344 (fax), www.ecrc.ca (Web site).
