Unlock Redevelopment Potential with a Record of Site Condition (RSC)

With over 25 years specializing in environmental engineering, AEL Environment helps property owners and developers achieve Records of Site Condition (RSCs) to transform sites with commercial or industrial use, into properties intended for residential or institutional use.

What is an Record of Site Condition?

Under Ontario Regulation (O. Reg) 153/04, an RSC is required when a property’s use is changing to a more sensitive one (e.g., from commercial to residential). It proves that a site meets the stringent environmental standards set by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks (MECP) through documentation and regulation.

An RSC provides a clear assessment of a property’s environmental status, documenting property history, environmental investigations, remedial actions, and other key environmental measures taken on the site.

Why Obtain a Record of Site Condition?

Obtaining an RSC for a site offers peace of mind to buyers, adds value to sellers, and opens up options to developers beyond the current site use. Additionally, for redevelopment projects—especially those converting land to more sensitive uses—an RSC is a requirement.
