Environmental Compliance Approvals
Any business must get an environmental permit or registration from the Ministry of the Environment if it:
Pollutants are released into the air, ground, or water.
It transports, stores, and disposes of trash.
Engaging in Environmental Reporting is an essential step for businesses looking to obtain Environmental Compliance Approvals (ECAs) or register under the Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) with the Ministry of the Environment. It helps ensure transparency and accountability in their environmental practices.
Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) and Environmental Activity and Sector Registry (EASR) can come in many forms. Depending on the nature of your facility operations and the environmental media being affected, you may be required to prepare not only one but two or more ECAs or EASRs to comply with the Environmental Protection Act (EPA) and satisfy Ministry requirements.

Clarify each compliance route in ECA & EASR in Ontario.

The complexity and uniqueness of the business will deIn comparison to the conventional ECA, an EASR is generally linked with almost rapid approval and fewer ongoing annual requirements. But first, let’s go back andtermine which compliance option is best for you. The EASR is utilized for more routine activities or operations with lower potential impact, while an ECA is needed for more intricate operations with higher potential for environmental repercussions. The following definitions aid in understanding the various degrees of complexity mentioned in the regulations.
An Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling report is necessary for both the Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) and the Air Assessed Environmental Activity Sector Registry (EASR). A study known as a “ESDM” (Emissions Summary and Dispersion Modelling) Report examines air pollution emissions from a facility and how they disperse after being released. The information specified must be included in an ESDM report.
An essential feature of an Environmental Compliance Approval (ECA) or Environmental Activity and Sector Registry is evaluating sound levels for equipment that produces noise (EASR). You will probably be needed to create an Acoustic Assessment Report (AAR) in support of an ECA application or an EASR registration if your facility is situated close to sensitive receptors.
When it comes to processing trash, operating a stormwater pond, treating your own process water, or cleaning up contaminated sites, SONAIR can help your business get the necessary approvals and/or complete the necessary testing so it can keep concentrating on what it does best.
Municipal Infrastructure Class Environmental Assessments
Before starting an infrastructure project, the Environmental Assessment (EA) process makes sure that governments and public entities take potential environmental repercussions into account, including the dust control management plan.
The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment procedure for Municipal Public Works is advocated by the Municipal Engineers Association.
The Municipal Class Environmental Assessment was revised in October 2015 to make more allusions to the Source Protection Plans and Clean Water Act (see Municipal Class EA Manual – Section A.2.10 – Relationship of Projects within the Class EA to Other Legislation).
