FCSAP advisory bulletin (FAB) : how clean does a contaminated site need to be to achieve acceptable protection of ecological receptors for subsequent site closure?: En14-246/2016E-PDF

“The Federal Contaminated Sites Action Plan (FCSAP) provides financial and technical assistance for the assessment, remediation and/or risk management of eligible federal contaminated sites. Assessment funding is used to assess whether a site is contaminated and to determine the extent of the contamination. Remediation/risk management funding is used to reduce environmental liability by reducing the risk to human health and the environment and from contamination at high priority sites for which the federal government is responsible. This FCSAP Advisory Bulletin presents standard FCSAP Expert Support advice pertaining to the required extent of activities on FCSAP-funded federal contaminated sites in regard to protection of ecological receptors. It answers the frequently asked question: “How clean does a contaminated site need to be to achieve acceptable protection of ecological receptors for subsequent site closure?” For human health, guidance on the level of protection required to achieve site closure at FCSAP funded contaminated sites is provided separately by Health Canada (2010a, b) and is not part of this FCSAP Advisory Bulletin“--p. 1.
