Priority sites

A priority site is a site issued with a current remediation notice related to land and/or groundwater contamination. 

These notices are issued to make sure people clean up or manage pollution and waste.

Priority sites’ contamination may pose a risk to human health or the environment. These sites’ condition means they’re no longer fit for their approved land uses without management or cleanup.

To reduce risk to human health and the environment, priority sites require management such as:

• cleanup
• monitoring
• site controls.

If you manage or control land you believe could be contaminated, you are obligated to assess and manage any risks to human health or the environment under the general environmental duty or the duty to manage and duty to notify.
