Today, we published the “Site-Specific Risk Assessment Submission Checklist” (SSRA checklist). The checklist is available on our forms webpage under remediation and reclamation forms.
The Alberta Tier 2 Soil and Groundwater Remediation Guidelines (part of the Remediation Regulation under the Environmental Protection and Enhancement Act) specify the requirement to seek acceptance of an SSRA by the appropriate regulator. In August 2022, Alberta Environment and Protected Areas published Supplemental Guidance on Site-Specific Risk Assessments in Alberta.
The SSRA checklist is a summary of the minimum expectations when submitting an SSRA. It is recommend that the completed SSRA checklist be included with the record of site condition submission through OneStop. Including the checklist with the SSRA submission is voluntary. The checklist’s purpose is to assist in compiling and submitting SSRAs to the AER, facilitating a consistent and efficient review.
