Provide feedback on RPRA’s proposed 2022 Registry fees for excess soil
The Resource Productivity and Recovery Authority is consulting on its proposed 2022 Registry fees for excess soil. These are fees that registry users pay to cover the Authority’s costs for building, maintaining and operating the Excess Soil Registry.
In March 2021 the Minister of the Environment, Conservation and Parks directed the Authority to establish and maintain the registry to enable compliance with the On-Site and Excess Soil Management Regulation, O. Reg. 406/19 (Excess Soil Regulation). Project leaders, owners and site operators will be required to use the registry to file notices for certain project areas, reuse sites, and residential development soil depot sites where excess soil is generated, transported, temporarily placed and deposited. Registry users will be required to pay a fee upon completion of each initial notice filing, whether it’s a Project Area Notice, Reuse Site Notice, or Residential Development Soil Depot Notice.
