Environmental Protection Review Canada
About UsWho Are We? Environmental Protection Review Canada ("EPRC") is a group of expert adjudicators, entirely separate from Environment Canada, that conduct reviews of Environmental Protection Compliance Orders ("EPCOs"). Under the Canadian Environmental Protection Act 1999 (CEPA, 1999), enforcement officers have the power to issue EPCOs to prevent a violation, to stop an on-going violation or to require that violations be corrected. Any person who has been issued an EPCO may ask for an independent review conducted by a Review Officer. Review Officers have the authority to confirm or cancel an EPCO. They may also amend, suspend, add or delete a term or condition of the Order. The decisions of Review Officers may be appealed to the Federal Court, Trial Division. |
