Site Profile
Site Profile (PDF/46 KB) UPDATED JANUARY 1, 2009
Site profiles are forms that require information about the past and present uses of a site, as well as basic land descriptions.

The content and format of a site profile are provided in Schedule 1 of the Environmental Management Act’s Contaminated Sites Regulation.
If you determine that none of the activities listed in Schedule 2 of the Regulation has occurred, then you don’t have to complete a site profile – unless you’re ordered to do so by a Director of Waste Management, or a local government asks you to complete parts of a profile for their own records.
