3 Municipal authorities must be notified about any discharge that threatens the environment via the sanitary or storm sewer systems. In Guelph, the Wastewater Services Division must be notified ( ). Equivalent requirements exist in other communities where the University conducts operations. The University retains a hazardous materials spills contractor for the clean up of complex spills at any campus location or research station. Contact Environmental Health and Safety or Security Services for details or to access this assistance. Spill Reporting Exemptions The Classification and Exemption of Spills Regulation (O.Reg. 675/98) identifies classes of spills for which full Reporting under Part X of the Environmental Protection Act may not be required. The aim of this regulation is to encourage industry to evaluate the risk of a spill and to deal with it responsibly should one occur. Reporting requirements have been relaxed. The following spills are exempted from all requirements of Part X of the Environmental Protection Act. Class i. Discharges approved under a Certificate of Approval, order, licence or other approval, provided the discharge is in compliance with all legislation, including municipal by-laws; Class ii. Discharges of water from a reservoir caused by a natural event, and discharges of potable water from water mains; and Class iii. Combustion products from household fires. The following spills are exempted from all reporting requirements of Part X of the Environmental Protection Act. Class iv. Planned spills and pre-authorized discharges. Adverse effects must still be monitored and a report filed within five days; and Class v. Spills of refrigerants governed by the Refrigerants Regulation (O.Reg. 189/94). There must be no adverse effects and records must be kept. The following spills are exempted from the requirement to notify the MOE. Other notification requirements continue to apply: Class vi. Spills of 100 litres or less of fluid, other than cargo from fuel or other operating systems of motor vehicles. The spill must not enter, or be likely to enter, any water or watercourse. There must be no adverse effects and arrangements must be made for remediation. The following spills are exempted from the requirement to notify the MOE and the municipality.

Other reporting requirements continue to apply: Class xi. Spills reportable to more than one provincial or federal agency. The spill must meet the conditions of an understanding between the MOE and the other agency. Records must be kept.
