The appellant appealed a Director's Order requiring the removal of demolition waste from its property.

The appellant argued the materials were being sorted for recycling and were not waste, and that the Ministry erred in treating the movement of materials as a deposit on a new site.

The Tribunal found that the co-mingled demolition debris constituted waste under the Environmental Protection Act and that leaving it on the site for an extended period established an unapproved waste disposal site.

The appeal was dismissed, and the Director's Order was upheld with amended compliance dates.

The appellant appealed a confirmed provincial officer's order requiring the removal of demolition waste from a site.

Following a pre-hearing conference where the parties indicated that mediation would not be helpful and compliance had not been completed, the Environmental Review Tribunal issued an order setting the schedule for document exchange, witness statements, and the hearing dates.

The appellant appealed a Director's decision confirming a Provincial Officer's Order that required the cessation of demolition waste deposition and the removal of all waste from the site.

The appellant brought a motion for a stay of the Director's decision pending the appeal.

The Environmental Review Tribunal refused the request for a stay and dismissed the motion, with reasons to follow.
