How We Got Here

Environment Canada published in the Canada Gazette, Part 1, risk management instruments for inorganic chloramines, chlorinated wastewater effluents, and ammonia dissolved in water on December 4, 2004.

The final instruments take into account the comments received on the Proposed Notice requiring the preparation and implementation of pollution prevention plans for ammonia dissolved in water, inorganic chloramines and chlorinated wastewater effluents which was published on June 7, 2003. A Response to Stakeholders'  Comments was prepared.

In December 2002, Environment Canada published a Report of Consultation Sessions August 20th to November 4th, 2002 for those who attended the cross-Canada consultations or were thought to be subject to the Proposed Notice. The Report summarized the input Environment Canada received on its Proposed Risk Management Strategy.

The Proposed Risk Management Strategy was developed following the recommendation made by the Ministers of Environment and Health proposing the addition of several substances to the List of Toxic Substances, Schedule 1 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999) on June 23, 2001. The proposed recommendation followed the publication of priority substance list assessment reports for inorganic chloramines and ammonia dissolved in water.
