Atlantic PIRI MOU – 1997<\/h3>\n
Essentially, \u201cAn agreement between the four Atlantic Provinces regarding the development and implementation of a RBCA management process (Atlantic RBCA) for use on petroleum contaminated sites in the Atlantic Provinces.\u201d<\/p>\n
Atlantic PIRI MOU – 2002<\/h3>\n
An agreement to endorse the continuance of Atlantic PIRI as the working group responsible for the enhancement and implementation of the RBCA process in the Atlantic Provinces.<\/p>\n
Atlantic PIRI MOU – 2008<\/h3>\n
A renewed mandate for Atlantic PIRI, signed by all four Environment Deputy Ministers includes additional mandate<\/p>\n
- \n
- to assess technical issues and resources required to accommodate an expanded RBCA tool;<\/li>\n
- to offer support in developing contaminated sites regulations in all Atlantic jurisdictions;<\/li>\n
- to promote a liaison with the federal government to encourage elimination of brownfield impediments;<\/li>\n
- to develop a roadmap and work plan to assess possible next steps, expertise required, funding requirements and options for outstanding issues associated with brownfield redevelopment; and to develop a draft plan by year end 2008.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
Goal of Atlantic PIRI<\/h3>\n
The goal of Atlantic PIRI is to ensure the Atlantic RBCA (risk-based corrective action) process is effective and serves the needs of Atlantic Canadians. Effective RBCA remediation should mean more sites are returned to safe use and at a reduced cost.<\/p>\n
The Atlantic PIRI Process<\/h3>\n
Atlantic PIRI functions as a forum where Provincial regulators, representatives of the petroleum industry and regional technical expertise come together to guide the implementation of the RBCA process in Atlantic Canada. The group meets several times a year to review national initiatives, identify regional issues and management approaches, and to discuss communications and outreach needs. Atlantic PIRI reports annually to the Provincial Ministers responsible for environment.<\/p>\n
Working Groups and Task Groups<\/strong><\/h4>\n
Much of Atlantic PIRI\u2019s work is accomplished through three Working Groups (Harmonization, Technical, and Stakeholder Working Groups) and issue-specific, ad hoc Task Groups as projects require.<\/p>\n
\nHarmonisation Working Group<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Each province in Atlantic Canada retains the responsibility for developing policy and implementing its\u2019 own programs. The forum Atlantic PIRI helps regulators identify issues, harmonise their approaches and share best practices.<\/p>\n
Technical Working Group<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Atlantic PIRI is responsible for technical support to the provinces and for ensuring the Atlantic RBCA process is updated as new requirements develop. This includes technical training and continuous improvement of the Atlantic RBCA technical tool.<\/p>\n
Stakeholders Working Group<\/strong><\/h5>\n
Central to Atlantic PIRI is communications to ensure that people have the information they require about Atlantic RBCA and Provincial policy and regulations. By providing clear understandable information to site professionals, government departments and the public, Atlantic PIRI will increase community confidence in how contaminated properties are managed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\nAtlantic PIRI Committee \u2013 Corresponding Member (CM)<\/h1>\n
Purpose<\/h2>\n
The purpose of identifying corresponding members is to provide for knowledgeable input to Atlantic PIRI developments from a broader stakeholder group where required. Furthermore, Atlantic PIRI recognizes the value to seek advice and capture the views of a broad range of interests and to provide an opportunity whereby committed stakeholders can be involved on an informal basis in the review process.<\/p>\n
Role and Responsibilities<\/h2>\n
The role of a corresponding member will be to provide expert insight and\u00a0recommendations into periodic draft documents developed by Atlantic PIRI.\u00a0Corresponding members will be invited to provide comments within specified limitations\u00a0when applicable draft materials are produced by Atlantic PIRI Working Groups.\u00a0Typically, the Working Group of Atlantic PIRI that requests comments will provide a 30-day timeline for receipt of these reviews.<\/p>\n
Corresponding members benefit by being able to participate in, provide input to and\u00a0potentially influence the documents Atlantic PIRI produces. CMs also receive knowledge\u00a0of upcoming developments relevant to their professional field regarding contaminated\u00a0sites management.<\/p>\n
Corresponding members placed on a contact list also may have the opportunity to\u00a0participate on regional task groups and may be requested to meet directly with either\u00a0Atlantic PIRI or subcommittees on specific issues, as required and requested.<\/p>\n
Qualifications<\/h2>\n
Atlantic PIRI Corresponding Members require significant knowledge and experience in\u00a0the assessment and management of contaminated sites in Atlantic Canada. It is\u00a0anticipated that CMs will represent various aspects of contaminated sites management\u00a0and brownfield redevelopment (i.e. regional environmental consulting firms, property\u00a0developers and realtors, manufacturing industries, fuel production and distribution, utility\u00a0companies, insurance providers, bankers, etc.). As such, potential CMs should have\u00a0specific experience in either, or all, of:<\/p>\n
- \n
- human health and \/or ecological risk assessment. CMs will have taken training in\u00a0the use of the Atlantic RBCA model toolkit. Practical experience in the use of the\u00a0RBCA model toolkit and guidance is considered desirable;<\/li>\n
- management and development of contaminated sites and\/or brownfields and real\u00a0estate transactions;<\/li>\n
- knowledge and understanding of provincial legislation, regulations, policy and\u00a0applicable guidelines for the management of contaminated sites.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Appointment<\/h2>\n
A CM list will be developed and updated by the Stakeholder Working Group in\u00a0conjunction with the needs and interests of the Technical Working Group and the\u00a0Harmonization Working Group.<\/p>\n
Application to become a Corresponding Member of Atlantic PIRI will require a CV. Not\u00a0all applicants will necessarily be accepted. Accepted applicants must supply the\u00a0necessary contact information. A confidentiality agreement prohibiting the use or\u00a0disclosure of draft materials must be signed.<\/p>\n
Corresponding members on the contact list would, from time to time, receive e-mailed\u00a0documents for review, or receive other requests for contributions as determined by\u00a0Atlantic PIRI.<\/p>\n
If a corresponding member wishes to resign, or not receive further e-mails requesting reviews, Atlantic PIRI will remove their name from the contact list. Atlantic PIRI may annually renew corresponding members, at their request, and verify contact information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
