The appellants appealed a Director's Order requiring them to develop and implement a remedial action plan to address diesel contamination originating from a concrete batch plant.

The parties reached a settlement agreement requiring the installation of a barrier wall, additional groundwater monitoring, and financial assurance.

The Tribunal reviewed the Minutes of Settlement under Rule 201 of its Rules of Practice, found the agreement consistent with the purpose of the Environmental Protection Act to protect the natural environment, and dismissed the appeals, directing the Director to amend the order accordingly.

Nortel and Nagata appealed a Director's Order requiring work to be done at a contaminated site.

Nortel, under CCAA protection, reached a settlement with the MOECC to pay approximately $3,000,000 to address outstanding environmental issues.

The Tribunal accepted the withdrawal of Nortel's appeal and the revocation of the Director's Order against Nortel, finding the settlement consistent with the Environmental Protection Act and in the public interest.
