Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Rehabilitation - Technical Documents


This document, which includes general and thematic statistical data concerning the management of contaminated sites in Québec, updates the Bilan sur les terrains contaminés; statistiques générales en décembre 2001 (Contaminated sites report – Overall statistics for December 2001). New statistical data concerning in situ treatment, the Programme de réhabilitation des stations hydrométriques contaminées au mercure and new legislative measures were added to this edition. Thematic maps complement the report.

Data provided for this document come from the Système de gestion des terrains contaminés (Système GTC) (Contaminated Site Management System), from the Répertoire des dépôts de sols et de résidus industriels (DSRI) (Inventory of Soil and Industrial Waste Disposal Sites), SAGIR or Système d’aide à la gestion des interventions régionales (Resource Information Management Business Solution) and from various files administered by the Ministry.

  • Bilan sur les terrains contaminés / Statistiques générales en décembre 2001 (French) [Contaminated sites report – Overall statistics for December 2001]

    This report focuses on sites which have been contaminated by accidental spills or by daily operations related to industrial and commercial activities. The sites concerned all show a contamination of soils exceeding criterion B of the Politique de protection des sols et de réhabilitation des terrains contaminés (prior to the sites’ rehabilitation). All sites are included in the Système de gestion des terrains contaminés (Contaminated site management system) of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs, which is the main source of information used. These sites have all been subject to interventions by the Ministère.

    In addition to providing background information, this document includes general and thematic statistical data concerning the management of contaminated sites in Québec. It is intended for stakeholders involved in activities related to contaminated sites, municipalities, environmental consultants, lawyers, notaries, financial institutions, environmental organizations and owners of contaminated property.

This guide is intended for use by project managers at regional offices of the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs and by experts in the field of contaminated soils. It details the objectives of the regulation and the reasons behind its implementation so as to permit better understanding and foster its coherent application.
  • La gestion des matériaux de démantèlement – Guide de bonnes pratiques [Guide to Sound Practices in Managing Dismantling Material]

This guide is intended to promote adequate management of such material in order to reduce environmental impacts.

The guide details each step in the dismantling process: exploratory investigation, inventory, characterization of areas deemed to be contaminated, dismantling and, lastly, materials management.

Available from the ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs.

  • Guide de caractérisation des terrains [Site Characterization Guide]

Notice to readers –This PDF file is a facsimile of the ministère de l’Environnement’s Guide de caractérisation des terrains published in 2003 by Les Publications du Québec. Please note that the “ministère de l’Environnement” is the former name of the ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs. The guide is currently out-of-print and only available online.

This guide sets out objectives and elements that should be considered in a characterization study, especially to assess soil quality and impacts on underground and surface waters.

Readers will find a number of essential concepts to carry out characterization studies.

This document is intended for the various stakeholders (promoters, experts, consultants, manufacturers, owners, municipalities and financial institutions).

These guides describe planning and sampling best practices aimed at ensuring quality control and validity of derivative scientific information. This guide is published by the Centre d'expertise en analyse environnementale du Québec (CEAEQ).

  • Inventaire des lieux d’élimination de résidus industriels Gerled (Évolution depuis 1983 à l’état actuel) [Inventory of GERLED industrial waste disposal sites: status from 1983 to today] (1998)

This document lists GERLED sites according to their reclassification and takes into account changes made since 1983. It is available from the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs.

This document describes the Ministère's requirements for wide scale demonstration and use of these decontamination techniques. This reedition of the 1996 version has been made consistent with the Soil Protection and Contaminated Sites Rehabilitation Policy.

This guide explains acceptable approaches in order to assess accurately on a local and regional basis the natural soil background values of potentially contaminated sites. This guide aims at facilitating the application of the Land Protection and Rehabilitation Regulation.

  • Liste des méthodes suggérées pour la réalisation des analyses de laboratoire (French) [List of suggested methods for carrying out laboratory analyses]

    This list is a compilation of analysis methods recommended by the Ministère for the chemical characterization of soil and groundwater samples. It replaces the 1990 edition and 1996 update of the Guide des méthodes de conservation et d'analyse des échantillons d'eau et de sol and is available on line from the Centre d'expertise en analyse environnementale du Québec's web site.

The guidelines governing assessment of ecotoxicological risks to health are presented in this document, which was prepared in cooperation with the Ministère. It takes into account all relevant environmental policies and regulations. For a copy of the guidelines, contact the Institut national de santé publique du Québec at 4835, Christophe-Colomb, Bureau 200, Montréal (Québec) H2J 3G8. Tel.: (514) 597-0606.

  • Problématique des sols et des eaux souterraines contaminés par des produits pétroliers, Sélection des paramètres analytiques [Selecting parameters for analyzing oil-contaminated soil and groundwater] (1993)

    In addition to technical information on the physico-chemical characteristics of commercial petroleum products, this document recommends to laboratories and consultants a standardized approach to characterization and management of soil and groundwater contaminated by hydrocarbons.
     

  • Procédure d'évaluation du risque écotoxicologique pour la réhabilitation des terrains contaminés [Ecotoxicological risk assessment procedure for the rehabilitation of contaminated sites] (1998) - French

    This document describes the activities and steps involved in ecotoxicological risk assessment and establishes the Ministère's applicable requirements.
