QPCO is seeking feedback on the Best Practices for Excess Soil Reuse Sites in Ontario draft. The draft was developed by the members of QPCO as a resource to assist members and others involved in the management of Excess Soil Reuse Sites. View the document. Please email all comments to QPCOreuseBMP@oneia.ca by December 9, 2024.
The Ministry of Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) issued Ontario Regulation 406/19 Onsite and Excess Soil Management in 2019 with subsequent amendments. The regulation was supported by the accompanying Rules for Soil Management and Excess Soil Quality Standards (most recently amended in 2024) and Rationale Document for Development of Excess Soil Quality Standards (November 19, 2019). Prior to O. Reg. 406/19 the MECP issued Management of Excess Soil – A Guide for Best Management Practices (January 2014, and subsequently amended).
QPCO has prepared this Best Practices for Excess Soil Reuse Sites in Ontario to complement the noted regulation and supporting documents and provide greater detail for the practical application of reuse of excess soil.
