Full text
70.5.1. Anyone responsible for an accidental release of hazardous materials into the environment is required to recover them without delay and remove any contaminated matter that is not cleaned or treated in situ. However, a government regulation may determine the cases where, and the conditions on which, the materials may remain in the land concerned, in particular because of technical or operational constraints.
In addition, the person responsible for the hazardous material released into the environment must write down the nature and quantity of the contaminated matter that was recovered and, if applicable, the contact information of the recipient of the removed matter. The person must keep the information for a minimum period of five years and furnish it to the Minister on request.
