Environmental Bureau of Investigation

WE INVESTIGATE

In the last four years, much of EBI's investigative work has focused on water pollution. We laid charges under the Fisheries Act in the Hamilton case, the Deloro Mine case, and the Belle Park case. This is in response to lack of enforcement of the Fisheries Act by the Ministry of Environment in Ontario.

We are working on investigations in Quebec, Ontario, and New Brunswick. Smaller cases, in which we offer advice or assistance to individuals, are posted in the Water Pollution section of this site.

MONTREAL, QUEBEC

In April 2002, the results of an 18-month investigation by EBI revealed that dangerous chemicals from Montreal's Technoparc site were fouling the St. Lawrence River on a daily basis. In a brief submitted to Environment Canada, EBI furnished photographic proof, laboratory analyses of samples, expert assessments, and maps clearly identifying discharge points. The brief prompted Environment Canada to launch an investigation of its own that same month. In April 2003, Environment Canada terminated its investigation, claiming that it was unable to pinpoint the precise source of the toxins being released into the river. EBI is currently working with other environmental groups to demand Environment Canada restart its investigation.

MONCTON, NEW BRUNSWICK

Environment Canada laid charges in winter 2002 against the City of Moncton and related engineers for allowing a city landfill site to contaminate the Petitcodiac River. The Environment Canada investigation was launched as a result of a brief prepared by EBI and the Petitcodiac Riverkeeper. EBI continues to monitor the site and is investigating the effects of the causeway on the Petitcodiac River.
