Site Disclosure Statement (former Site Profile)

In British Columbia, the old “Site Profile” form has been replaced by the Site Disclosure Statement (SDS). An SDS is required when engaging in specific local government applications (like building or development permits), decommissioning a site, or conducting certain real estate transactions if the property has a history of commercial or industrial use. You must submit an SDS to the Site Registrar if you are the owner/operator and you know—or reasonably should know—that the property was used for a Schedule 2 activity (e.g., petroleum storage, dry cleaning, or certain manufacturing).

If you are doing your due diligence on a site by completing a Phase I or Stage 1 that identifies a Schedule 2 use at your site, we are here to guide you through the process as the site will automatically be captured and frozen under the new Site ID system and will be subject to the requirements under the Environmental Management Act and Contaminated Sites Regulations before the local government will provide any permits.
