Description of the horizontal initiative

FCSAP provides long-term funding to address the highest priority federal contaminated sites. Although responsibility for the management and remediation of federal contaminated sites rests with responsible custodial departments, the FCSAP program is administered by ECCC with support from the TBS. Information about FCSAP can be found on the Federal Contaminated Sites Web Portal.

Shared outcome(s)

The primary objectives of FCSAP are to reduce environmental and human health risks from federal contaminated sites and to reduce the associated federal financial liabilities in the Public Accounts of Canada while giving priority to higher risk sites.

Governance structures

The Federal Contaminated Sites Assistant Deputy Ministers Steering Committee is supported by the Director Generals Committee, the Contaminated Sites Management Working Group (CSMWG) and the FCSAP Secretariat (ECCC), which provides overall program coordination.

Performance highlights

The Federal Contaminated Sites Inventory is a publicly accessible database administered by TBS. Custodians manage their federal contaminated sites according to a 10-step process, as set out in A Federal Approach to Contaminated Sites (Contaminated Sites Management Working Group, 1999). Sites suspected of contamination are identified and historical reviews of the site are conducted in steps 1 and 2; assessment and prioritization of the need for action at sites occurs through steps 3 to 6; the remediation or risk-management strategy is developed at step 7 and implemented at step 8, which is followed by confirmatory sampling at step 9 and long-term monitoring, as required, in step 10. Sites are closed once no further action is required and financial liability has been reduced to zero. Assessment funding is used to support steps 1 through 6 while remediation funding supports steps 7 through 10.

The assessment and remediation of contaminated sites often require multiple years to complete. In 2015-16, custodians undertook environmental site assessments at 200 sites. Assessment activities were completed at 126 sites. The remaining 74 sites require further assessment.

Remediation/risk management activities, including long-term monitoring were conducted at 374 sites:

Comment on Variation

In 2015-16, FCSAP partners spent 65% of available funding; reprofiled, carried forward or cash managed 34%; and lapsed 1%. Note that the actual amount of available funding was $383.7 million, while the planned spending was $310.2 million. This difference is due to the fact that additional 2015-16 funding was made available (e.g. funding reprofiled from previous year) after the planned spending was calculated in the 2015-16 Report on Plans and Priorities.

The most common reasons why custodians did not spend all of the funds available in 2015-16 involved project delays. For example, weather conditions either prevented access to some of the sites or were inhospitable to the types of work being carried out. As well, work to implement the remediation or risk management plans for some sites has taken longer than custodians had anticipated. In addition, the refinement of project cost estimates and re-scoping of work plans resulted in lower expenditures than planned.

  • coordinate regional and headquarters activities of other expert support departments (including implementation of interdepartmental regional working groups, integrated work planning, etc.);
  • coordinate and undertake the review of site classification scores with other expert support departments;
  • lead the resolution of technical issues related to site eligibility for funding;
  • ensure that information on program tools and guidance is disseminated, that lessons learned are shared and that custodians’ needs are addressed;
  • provide technical advice and expert information on ecological risks and environmental matters [e.g. compliance promotion with federal environmental statutes, National Classification System for Contaminated Sites and Aquatic Sites Classification System scoring, Canadian Council of Ministers for the Environment (CCME) approaches, waste management, sampling design, emerging chemicals, etc.] at the site level and at the program level via the development of science-based tools, best practices, guidance documents, and environmental quality guidelines; and
  • Provided training on the assessment and management of ecological risks at FCSAP sites as well as key training on other broader program-related aspects (ex. site prioritization, site closure tool).

As an expert support department for the FCSAP program, ECCC provided technical advice to custodial departments on the management of their contaminated sites. Some specific accomplishments include:

  • Review of 30 site classification scores from federal custodians to confirm eligibility for funding and review of 227 technical documents to assist custodians during assessment and remediation projects and to promote compliance with regulations;
