The Environmental Review Tribunal is committed to conducting timely, fair, efficient and impartial hearings which protect the environment and are consistent with the governing legislation.
The Tribunal functions as a quasi-judicial body, subject to the rules of natural justice and the requirements of the Statutory Powers Procedure Act.
The Tribunal's primary role is adjudicating applications and appeals under various environmental and planning statutes.
The Tribunal hears applications and appeals under the Clean Water Act, 2006, the Environmental Assessment Act, the Environmental Protection Act, the Nutrient Management Act, 2002, the Ontario Water Resources Act, the Pesticides Act, the Safe Drinking Water Act, 2002, leave to appeal applications under the Environmental Bill of Rights, 1993, and matters under the Oak Ridges Moraine Conservation Act, 2001 and the Greenbelt Act, 2005.
The Environmental Review Tribunal also functions as the Office of Consolidated Hearings to hear applications made under the Consolidated Hearings Act and as the Niagara Escarpment Hearing Office to hear development permit appeals and Niagara Escarpment Plan amendment applications under the Niagara Escarpment Planning and Development Act.
This website is divided into three parts, one for each function.
ATTENTION – ERT’S REQUEST FOR STATUS OF REPRESENTATIVES
Because of the new rules regulating paralegals issued by the Law Society of Upper Canada, the Environmental Review Tribunal may be requesting the status of representatives.
The Tribunal may ask whether a representative is licensed, has applied for a license or is exempt from the Law Society’s regulations. Failure to provide this information may have an impact on whether a representative will be permitted to appear before the Tribunal.
For more information, please contact the Tribunal or visit the Law Society’s website at http://www.lsuc.on.ca.
