•Need within the regulatory framework to encourage beneficial re-use of excess soils
versus land filling
•Ontario MOE working with stakeholders to develop Soil Management Best
Management Practices (BMP’s) over past number of years

The Path Forward
•Continue to work on policy and regulatory change across Ministry and
municipal “silos” to develop sustainable soil handling practices
•Encourage a regulatory and enforcement cultural shift to adopt new
technologies and work practices from other jurisdictions
•All levels of government and regulators work with industry on initiatives that
are focused on the following:
- Developing “better regulations” adopting consistent soil handling
practices including use of a Material Management Plan (MMP)
- Promote consistent soil handling municipal model by-laws, procurement
practices, capacity building and outreach
- Support electronic soil matching initiatives (SOiiL)
RR6
- Support pilot testing of BMP related activities including local Soil
Recycling Centres (SRC’s)

The Path Forward
•Continue to work on policy and regulatory change across Ministry and
municipal “silos” to develop sustainable soil handling practices
•Encourage a regulatory and enforcement cultural shift to adopt new
technologies and work practices from other jurisdictions
•All levels of government and regulators work with industry on initiatives that
are focused on the following:
- Developing “better regulations” adopting consistent soil handling
practices including use of a Material Management Plan (MMP)
- Promote consistent soil handling municipal model by-laws, procurement
practices, capacity building and outreach
- Support electronic soil matching initiatives (SOiiL)
RR6
- Support pilot testing of BMP related activities including local Soil
Recycling Centres (SRC’s)
