Engagement summary
The Land Remediation Section administers the investigation and remediation of contaminated sites in British Columbia. The section provides information to the public on the requirements for site identification, investigation and remediation. Remediation is focused on sites that are chosen for redevelopment and other complex, high-risk contaminated sites. Site remediation services are a critical step in the development of both industrial and commercial businesses, housing applications, as well as important public infrastructure such as roads, health-care facilities and schools.
The Land Remediation Section is conducted a review in response to rising demands for site remediation services and the need for more resources to handle service applications. The review provided an opportunity to simplify and clarify costs for services, ensure First Nations interests are considered, improve how site registry information is accessed by the public, and ensure fees are accurate.
