2019-08-08

13.0.2. Except in the cases covered by the Environment Quality Act (chapter Q-2) or the regulations made thereunder, no one may dispose of contaminated soils nor allow them to be disposed of, on or in a site other than land where the disposal is permitted, as the case may be,

(1)  by an authorization issued under the Environment Quality Act;

(2)  by a declaration of compliance covered by the Act or the regulations made thereunder and filed in accordance with the Act; or

(3)  by a rehabilitation plan approved by the Minister.

The prohibition provided for in the first paragraph does not apply where the disposal is covered by an exemption covered by the Environment Quality Act or the regulations made thereunder.

Where contaminated soils are disposed of on or in a site where the disposal is not permitted by one of the documents provided for in the first paragraph or is not covered by an exemption, the owner, the lessee or any other person in charge of the site is required to take the necessary measures so that the soils are transported on or in a site where

(1)  such a disposal is permitted by one of the documents;

or

(2)  such a disposal is covered by an exemption.
