The Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) is delaying the implementation of the Excess Soil Requirements initiative through ERO #019-5203.  This changes the obligations of members regarding excess soils and members should review the linked posting.

The purpose of the proposal is to temporarily delay the implementation of the provisions in the Excess Soil Regulation that came into effect January 1, 2022 until January 1, 2023.  MECP notes this would "allow more time for the gradual implementation and better understanding of the regulation."  OHBA will reviewing and responding to this new consultation accordingly.
