3.1.2.3 Environment and Climate Change Canada (ECCC) Environment and Climate Change Canada is responsible for providing scientific and technical advice and support to first responders concerning emergency events. Duties also extend to federally managed resources such as fish and wildlife. ECCC may be the lead agency if a spill occurs at a federal facility, at the request of a province or territory or when the environment is not being well protected. At other times, the department’s role is to provide support and advice to the lead agency.
All initial calls regarding an incident which impacts the environment should be made to the Provincial Environment Ministry who will, if need be, contact Environment and Climate Change Canada.
Procedure for reporting:
1. The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment must be notified immediately by telephone on the Provincial Spill Report Line, in the event of a spill that may contain polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs). 2. Following immediate notification, the spilled substance must be tested for PCBs to determine the concentration and the corresponding amount of PCBs released into the environment. 3. If PCBs are identified in concentrations greater than 2 mg/kg for liquids or 50 mg/kg for solids, or if the total amount of PCBs released from equipment is greater than 1 gram, a written report must be prepared and submitted to Environment Canada using the PCB Online Reporting System. This report must contain the following information: a. Name, civic and mailing address and telephone number of the person with management or control of the PCBs that were spilled b. Date, time and location of the spill c. Description of the source d. Quantity of the liquids or solids containing PCBs (L or kg) and the concentration released (mg/kg).
