The approach to the protection of the environment during construction requires that every person shares in the responsibility for that overall success. The extent of that responsibility is allocated to participants according to their respective roles. Often the critical responsibilities are held in the hands of construction workers. This responsibility is can be shared effectively through environmental awareness, training, quality control/assurance and compliance monitoring.
Table 1 (in the document provided) summarizes the roles and responsibilities of each participant in the ESC process. Provisions from federal and provincial regulations, as well as municipal By-Laws, enforce these responsibilities. The local municipality (City of London, City of Toronto, City of Kitchener, etc. ) in coordination with the local Conservation Authority (UTRCA, etc.) are generally the lead agencies in reviewing the proposed ESC plan and inspecting the initial installation of the ESC measures implemented for a construction site within their jurisdiction.
