La planification environnementale vise à intégrer les considérations de cette nature dans le cadre global de l’Université.

Cadre réglementaire environnemental

Environmental legal requirements relevant to the university’s activities are set out in a variety of Federal and Provincial statutes and regulations and in Municipal bylaws. Some requirements set out specific actions or preventive measures that must be in place with respect to a given activity; others are restrictions or prohibitions on given activities; and others set out the powers of government bodies to apply additional regulations or controls in specific circumstances.

The tables below are a summary of the environmental requirements relevant to the university’s activities. The tables are grouped into the following categories:

  • Spill response and reporting
  • Environmental studies and management plans
  • Operational requirements
  • Permits, authorizations, design standards, and specifications
  • Wastewater monitoring
  • Annual reporting

In each category, the left table on the left lists the requirements, and the right table lists the tools and programs in place to address those requirements. Links are provided to online legislation where available. Note that the tables are a summary only and should not be considered exhaustive.
