Common Environmental Liabilities Found on Sites in Canada

When you own or operate a property, you take on a certain level of responsibility for its environmental impact. This is especially true in Canada, where environmental regulations and standards are strict and closely monitored. In order to ensure that you are complying with these regulations and minimizing your impact on the environment, it's important to be aware of the common environmental liabilities that are often found on sites in Canada. Here are a few of the most common:

Soil and Groundwater Contamination: One of the most common environmental liabilities on sites in Canada is soil and groundwater contamination. This can occur as a result of past industrial or agricultural activities, improper waste disposal, or spills and leaks from storage tanks. Contaminated soil and groundwater can pose serious health risks to humans and wildlife, and can be expensive and time-consuming to remediate.

​Waste Management Issues: Another common environmental liability on sites in Canada is improper waste management. This can include things like illegal dumping, improper storage of hazardous materials, and failure to properly dispose of waste products. In addition to posing health and safety risks, these issues can result in fines and legal action.
 
Hazardous Material Storage Concerns: Sites that store hazardous materials are also at risk for environmental liabilities. Improper storage and handling of these materials can lead to leaks, spills, and other accidents that can contaminate soil and groundwater, harm wildlife, and pose health risks to humans.
 
Erosion and Sedimentation: Finally, erosion and sedimentation can also be environmental liabilities on sites in Canada. These issues can occur as a result of natural erosion, as well as activities like construction, mining, and forestry. Erosion and sedimentation can lead to soil and water pollution, and can also impact aquatic habitats.
 
To avoid these and other environmental liabilities, it's important to take a proactive approach to environmental management. This might include conducting regular site assessments, implementing best practices for waste management and hazardous material storage, and investing in erosion control measures. By doing so, you can minimize your impact on the environment and ensure that your property is compliant with Canadian environmental regulations.
