The Environmental Assessment and Licensing Branch carries out its mission by:

  • administering development approval requirements of The Environment Act, The Dangerous Goods Handling and Transportation Act, The Public Health Act, and the Pesticides Regulation;
  • controlling municipal, industrial and hazardous waste sources of pollutants;
  • minimizing environmental impact of development proposals;
  • minimizing adverse effects to the environment and public health from pesticide use; and
  • administering the Water and Wastewater Facility Operators Regulation.

This is accomplished through the activities of three Sections of the Branch.
