The Society of Contaminated Sites Approved Professionals (“CSAP Society”) is an independent professional organization that is mandated by the British Columbia provincial government, through the Ministry of Environment and Parks (ENV), to review environmental certification applications made under the Environmental Management Act and Contaminated Sites Regulation. CSAP credentials its members with the Contaminated Site Approval Professional designation (CSAP, or AP in short form) and recommends they be appointed to ENV’s Roster of Approved Professionals (APs).
About CSAP Society
In BC, ENV is responsible for regulations detailing safe and legal levels of soil and water contaminants. Members of CSAP Society are qualified to review all low- to medium-risk environmental certification applications to ensure these regulations are being met.
They perform an important role for the government and for landowners by addressing potential contamination issues in a timely manner which helps advance redevelopment projects.
All low- to medium-risk sites seeking an ENV Certificate of Compliance must be reviewed by an AP.
