The National Pollutant Release Inventory (NPRI) is Canada’s legislated, publicly accessible inventory designed to track and catalogue the release of pollutants, their disposal, or their transfer to recycling facilities. Every year on June 1st, facilities nationwide are subject to compile information on the following pollutants: air contaminants, pollutants released in water, and waste products disposed on land. The NPRI oversees the usage of over 300 unique substances Canada-wide and over 7000 facilities were included in the registry last year alone.
Facilities in every province and territory across Canada are responsible for registering with the NPRI if they meet certain conditions, such as:
If a facility you own or manage meets these conditions, you must register in accordance with Federal Law. Additionally, facilities involved in incineration, wood preservation, terminal operations (among others) must adhere to NPRI reporting requirements regardless of employee hours worked.
If you have any doubts about whether or not your facility requires registration, contact a professional. Industry professionals have in-depth knowledge of the NPRI database and the over 300 substances that it encompasses.

Environmental consulting professionals possess a vast knowledge of NPRI reporting requirements and can streamline the reporting process to ensure it is handled in a quick and orderly fashion. For instance, facilities may be required to report based on Concentration Threshold, Mass Threshold, Employee Threshold, and Activities/Sector. The reporting criteria are different for each section. Failure to meet the reporting requirements or reporting deadline may result in fines and penalties.
Environmental specialists follow a number of steps to ensure all issues are dealt with in a timely fashion. A brief overview of the steps taken include:
