Fast Facts
The requirements for publication of notice information can be found under Part 7, Division 8, Section 187 of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999. Resilog tables 1, 2, and 3 describe notifications for proposed exports, imports and transits of hazardous wastes or hazardous recyclable materials received by Environment Canada in the last six months of 2011. Notification status and notified quantities are summarized below.
Exports | Imports | Transits | Canadian Transits | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of duly completed notices received | 261 | 776 | 33 | 0 | 1 070 |
| Number of waste streams involved | 2 647 | 5 692 | 69 | 0 | 8 408 |
| Total quantity notified (Tonnes) | 4 656 364 | 7 937 094 | 79 815 | 0 | 12 673 273 |
| Quantity consented (Tonnes) | 2 187 959 | 7 226 362 | 75 830 | 0 | 9 490 151 |
| Quantity objected (Tonnes) | 150 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 150 |

The quantity notified reflects the estimated maximum quantity of waste that is intended to be shipped. It therefore may not be the same as the actual quantity shipped. Exporters and importers routinely overestimate waste quantities on their notices, given that they must forecast the quantity and the physical and chemical nature of hazardous wastes or hazardous recyclable material that might be shipped over a period of one year. Actual quantities of hazardous wastes or hazardous recyclable materials in movement are tracked through movement documents and are entered in a database.
