WHAT HAPPENED – STAGE 11 (HOUSEKEEPING)

CSR/HWR/OMRR (Housekeeping) - Purpose 1. Strictly limited to correcting errors discovered during the “Year of Transition” (i.e. no new policy, derivations or regulatory elements) 2. Type of errors corrected:

1. Typographical/Transcription 2. Errors of omission, 3. Errors in nomenclature, 4. Calculation errors, 5. Citation/referencing errors and 6. Errors in legal drafting

For listing of all errors corrected by CSR/HWR/OMRR Housekeeping amendments see: Oct 23, 2017 Admin Bulletin 4 - Errata (Version 5) for the Stage 10 (Omnibus) Amendment to the Contaminated Sites Regulation

8

ERRATA

1. Omnibus errors were anticipated 2. Errata compiled errors discovered by ministry staff and stakeholders 3. Errata versions were posted to LRS website approximately every 3 months 4. Each version of the Errata presented for CSR/HWR/OMRR Stage 10 amendments:

• the error, • the type of error, • the rationale for correction, and • the correction for the error

5. Each new version of the Errata carried over previously found errors /corrections 6. Errata version 5, (the final Errata) contains all the errors and corrections made in the Stage 11 (Housekeeping) CSR/HWR/OMRR Amendments

For listing of all errors corrected by CSR/HWR/OMRR Housekeeping amendments see: Oct 23, 2017 Admin Bulletin 4 - Errata (Version 5) for the Stage 10 (Omnibus) Amendment to the Contaminated Sites Regulation

OMNIBUS FAQs

Regulation Consolidation 1. Registrar of Regulations will produce consolidated CSR/HWR/OMRR. 2. Typically it takes from 6 – 12 weeks for these consolidations to be completed. 3. Once a consolidated version is completed by the Registrar of Regulations it is sent

to be posted on BC Laws and sent to the Queen’s Printer to produce hardcopies. 4. Usually it takes 2 – 3 months for the Queen’s printer to produce hard copies.

Excel spreadsheets of CSR/HWR/OMRR standards 1. The government only provides PDF copies of the regulations. 2. The ministry cannot provide Excel spreadsheets of the standards. 3. Check with your analytical laboratory, some labs have complied their own Excel

spreadsheets and may be able to provide you with a copy.

17

NEXT STEPS – NEW ERRORS

The amendments contain new errors which are not covered in Errata version 5 1. To date, these errors are few and of minor consequence (e.g. typographical,

spelling and omission errors). 2. A new errata detailing these errors and their corrections will be posted in

early 2018. 3. It may be possible to correct these errors as part of the Registrar of

Regulations consolidation. If not, these errors will be corrected as part of the next cycle of review.

4. IF you become aware of any new errors in the amendments – please send them to site@gov.bc.ca.
