Ship\u002Dbreaking is considered hazardous because of the toxic substances present within a vessel, which may include asbestos, heavy metals and hydrocarbons
But Canada has no federal rules specifically regulating ship-breaking, and the B.C. Ministry of Environment says in a statement that Deep Water has the necessary permits as a company operating in the “commercial waste management or waste disposal industry.
The Comox Valley Regional District filed a notice of civil claim against Deep Water in April 2022 in B.C. Supreme Court, seeking an order to prevent the dismantling of vessels at the Union Bay site due to zoning bylaw violations. “At all material times, the plaintiff has had ample knowledge of Deep Water’s operations and activities, including several visits by the plaintiff’s staff and elected officials, after which several representations were made confirming Deep Water’s compliance with the Zoning bylaw,” the legal response read.
“If required, the ministry will take further enforcement action to ensure compliance, including pollution prevention orders,” the statement said.Article content He said the federal government has not done enough on other fronts, such as only requiring a self-reporting, voluntary certificate for hazardous material entering Canada on foreign vessels.
