Abstract

Both direct and indirect controls are used in managing industrial emissions in Canada. Regulatory restraints are supplemented with economic incentives, partnerships and recognition programs. The federal government manages emissions concurrently with 10 provincial and 3 territorial governments. In two of the ten provinces, responsibility for air management in an urban metropolitan area has been delegated to a municipal government. Most Canadian jurisdictions use a source permitting system in which a number of air management tools are applied. The source permitting system processes information about industrial facility design, existing ambient air quality, source standards, ambient standards, and dispersion model results together with regulatory agency policies to set emission limits, establish operating conditions, and determine the self-monitoring required for performance feedback. Additional feedback is provided through the regulator’s compliance program of education, prevention, verification and enforcement. Airshed management plans, environmental assessments, research results and emissions inventories may contribute to any of the system’s components.
