5 Key Dates Phase I Jan 1, 2010: Start tracking and quantifying priority substances Jun 1, 2011: First report to MOE for 2010 Dec 31, 2011: Complete plan for each substance and summary to public and Ministry by this date Phase II Jan 1, 2012: June 1, 2013: Dec 31, 2013: Same as above + current NPRI list + acetone Same as Jun 1, 2011 for all substances Same as Dec 31, 2011 for all substances Steps to comply I 1. Toxic substance accounting Account for the listed substances used, created, transformed, destroyed, released, disposed of, transferred and contained in the product at your facility by tracking and quantifying them. Requires process flow diagrams and methodology. 2. Develop a plan to reduce toxics Establish a team (recommended) / identify costs / identify reduction methods / assess options and feasibility / choose best options / map out implementation timeline Option types include: 1. Material or feedstock substitution 2. Product design or reformation 3. Equipment or process modifications 4. Spill and leak prevention 5. On-site reuse or recycling 6. Improved inventory management or purchasing techniques 7. Training or improved operating practices 5

6 Steps to comply II 3. Provide summary Tell the public why your facility uses or creates a substance and whether you intend to reduce use and creation and how to achieve reductions, or not. 4. Report on your progress Report to Ontario government and public each year. Details on specific information to be shared are on their way. 5. Review your plans to reduce toxics Review processes, methods, options and trends. First review is required by Dec 31, 2018, then 2023, 2028, etc. Additional Notes Additional information coming soon from Ministry that provides more details on the overall process Individual fines up to $25k/day for first offence, $50k/day for second offence, corporate fines $50k/day and $100k/day Further information at Toxics Reduction Act is at Reg. 455/09 is at 6
