Course Description


On March 12, 2021 the British Columbia Environmental Appeal Board (“EAB”) issued a lengthy decision in a long-running appeal concerning the regulation and enforcement of odour at a composting facility located in Delta, BC. In its decision, the EAB rejected various efforts by Metro Vancouver to restrict odour from the facility through air quality permit requirements.

Steven will review the decision and its implications on municipal efforts to regulate odour through the use of air quality bylaws.
