8 CEPA can: Regulate emissions of toxic substances Establish ambient standards Require that facility pollution prevention plans be developed Set rules for activities on federal lands 8

10 10
11 Each province has broad power to regulate pollution that occur within provincial boundaries through environmental and/or public health legislation to: Prohibit releases or activities that cause pollution Authorize discharges to the atmosphere Set emission guidelines or standards Establish ambient air quality criteria 11
12 Energy: Clean Energy Act, Energy Plan, Alternative Energy Strategy Transportation: Clean Transportation, Bike BC, Transit Strategy Finance: tax policy supporting alternative fuels and transportation Community & Rural Development: growth management strategies Forests and Range: burning policies Agriculture: sustainable agricultural policies 12
13 Capacity & needs vary between these territories Similar to provinces, all have legislation to: Set emission limits Monitor ambient air quality Set ambient criteria 13
14 Metro Vancouver and Montreal are the only local governments in Canada to have been delegated authority to manage air pollution control activities Canadian municipalities can: pass bylaws to restrict emission-causing activities, e.g. backyard burning and residential wood combustion. influence type and location of emission sources and future growth via planning & zoning land-use, transportation, regional growth strategies and sustainability plans. 14
15 Some Canadian municipalities and regional districts have developed local airshed management plans*. Thirteen plans have been developed in British Columbia: Bulkley Valley Lakes District Fraser Valley Regional District Merritt North Okanagan Prince George Whistler Williams Lake Central Okanagan Grand Forks Metro Vancouver Okanagan-Similkameen Quesnel Sea to Sky Corridor * These plans are available at : 15
16 First Nations (1/2) Federal cabinet can regulate issues (e.g. waste) on Indian Reserves. Canada ~ 3000 reserves, BC ~ 1700 (~ 200 Bands in BC), BC reserve pop. = 65,000 Indian Reserve Waste Disposal Regulation prohibits burning waste w/o permit (rarely used) Band Councils can pass zoning/ nuisance bylaws. First Nation Land Management Act allows Band Councils to adopt environmental protection laws. 16
