About

Harper Grey’s Canadian Environmental Law Blog was created to provide immediate access to current and practical information relating to environmental regulation of contaminated sites.

We cover a range of topics including:

• Contaminated site investigation and remediation
• Transactions involving contaminated lands
• Contaminated site redevelopment
• Recovery of costs of remediation
• Pursuit of key regulatory instruments
• Pollution prevention, abatement, and spill response issues
• Guidance through the municipal permitting process
• Negotiating with the Ministry of Environment and Climate Change Strategy

This blog is a key resource for:

• Real estate owners and developers seeking to understand the opportunities, responsibilities and potential liabilities that arise from purchase, sale and redevelopment of contaminated sites
• Lawyers (in house and outside counsel) who advise on environmental legislation and compliance, remediation and redevelopment issues, and transactions involving contaminated sites
• Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
• Lenders
• Insurers
• Environmental consultants and contractors
