To identify potentially contaminated sites the BC Ministry of Environment has implemented provisions in the Environmental Management Act and Contaminated Sites Regulations. Site Disclosure Statements must be submitted with applications for rezoning, subdivision, and development or building permits (excluding demolition) where soil disturbance is likely to occur.
Construction and renovation work is regulated by local by-laws and guidelines, and provincial regulations.
We issue bulletins and advisories to interpret building, electrical, and trades bylaws, and to explain building, technical, and administrative regulations and processes.
Important note Some bulletins are under more than one section because they apply to multiple bylaws.
