OSSGA has developed an environmental legal register to help our members maintain compliance with federal and provincial environmental legal requirements (legislation, regulations, standards and guidelines) that impact the operation of pits and quarries in Ontario. The register is an excel table and contains headings with appropriate filters so you can easily search for the categories (e.g.  water taking, endangered species, air and noise) applicable to your operations. The register also contains a high-level description of additional legislative requirements (i.e. permitting and planning) related to environmental aspects.

This environmental legal register complements OSSGA’s Environmental Management Guide for Pits and Quarries and Best Management Practices (developed in 2016) to help you accomplish your site specific environmental goals, programs and procedures.

The register will also be available in the Members Area of our website. If you have any questions regarding the legal register, please contact Ashlee Zelek at azelek@ossga.com. If you have any questions regarding access to the Members Section, please contact Eva DaSilva at edasilva@osssga.com.
