Landfill Gas Regulation Intentions Paper for Consultation
The Ministry of Environment is in the process of developing the Landfill Gas Regulation under the Environmental Management Act (EMA). This initiative forms part of the work undertaken by the Ministry of Environment (MOE) in support of the provincial government's commitment to reduce greenhouse gases by at least 33% below current levels by 2020.
The ministry's objectives and the proposed contents of the regulation are provided in a policy intentions paper for consultation. This intentions paper is available for review on the ministry’s website at www.env.gov.bc.ca/epd/codes/.
The paper will provide a framework for legal drafting and possible further consultation. A response form to seek responses and comments from stakeholders and the public is also available on the website indicated above. The deadline to submit comments is September 15, 2008.
