Records of Site Condition: Ontario’s Standard for Environmental Due Diligence
A Record of Site Condition (RSC) is filed with the Ministry of the Environment, Parks and Conservation (MECP) based on Ontario Regulation 153/04. The RSC documents environmental site assessments, remedial work and other environmental activities taken on a site. RSCs document the environmental condition of a property. They ensure that the standard of care used in the work is appropriate and provides the highest level of documented environmental assurance available. Required to undertake certain redevelopment options, an RSC also provides indemnification to property owners supported by the Ontario government.

Frequently Asked Questions
When we are considering if a report is “out of date”, we use Ministry of the Environment, Parks and Conservation guidelines of 18 months. Your bank might use a different age as their guide – this is up to them and how much risk they are willing to take on in financing your property
It seems like a short time period (and we agree) – however, site conditions can change quickly. Things that will impact your site are changing every day – neighbours come and go. Environmental incidents happen. The regulations impacting your site are being revised. Hint: one major change in O.Reg. 153/04 happened in 2011 that significantly impacted environmental reporting – reports older than 2011 raise flags for us.
