2010 Reviewed Facility Data Release

4. Pollutant Releases, Disposals and Recycling Reported to the NPRI for 2010

Under the authority of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999 (CEPA 1999), owners or operators of facilities that meet reporting requirements published annually in the Canada Gazette, Part I, are required to report to the NPRI. For 2010, 346 substances or substance groups were listed on the NPRI under five different parts of the Canada Gazette notice. Each “Part” represents a group of substances with similar reporting criteria.

Note: Certain substances are listed in more than one Part; therefore, there are more than 346 substance entries below.

• Table 4.1:  Part 1A – Substances listed at the original NPRIthreshold
• Table 4.2:  Part 1B – Metals listed at an alternate threshold
• Table 4.3:  Part 2 – Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
• Table 4.4:  Part 3 – Dioxins, furans and hexachlorobenzene
• Table 4.5:  Part 4 – Criteria air contaminants
• Table 4.6:  Part 5 – Speciated volatile organic compounds

Table 4.1: Part 1A – Substances listed at the original NPRIthreshold

Substances listed in Part 1A are commonly referred to as NPRI“core” substances. Over half of the substances that are listed on the NPRI are reflected here, many of which have been listed on the NPRI since its inception.

Facilities must report Part 1A substances if they meet each of the following criteria:

1. The facility manufactured, processed or otherwise used the substance at a concentration of 1% by weight or more (except for by-products and tailings at any concentration) and the facility used the substance in a quantity of 10 tonnes or more;
   and
2. The facility’s employee hours totalled 20 000 hours or more in the applicable reporting year. 

Examples of facilities that report Part 1A substances include wastewater facilities; oil and gas facilities; wood product manufacturers; metal fabricators; and chemical, plastic and paint manufacturers.
